Damn that was quick. Guess Jack isn't getting Ward or Stevenson next or he'll have to drop this belt to fight those guys.

Not that quick. It was supposed to happen earlier this year but Cleverley got the special exemption to face Jack. I hope it happens this year, because I was not impressed with Jack at 175, and I think Bivol would make a much better fight vs the guys you mentioned. But this way if Jack and Bivol fight first, we will find out for sure who is better, and who is deserving of a fight vs Ward or Stevenson.

It will clear things up for the fans and the division, which is what should be happening in every division, and which is how a sport is supposed to function. You're not supposed to go up in weight, beat a shot fighter, and then get marketed like you're great, and make a big fight. If you're actually great enough to challenge the best in the division, then prove it first vs another top upcoming fighter in the division first.

Now is the time for Jack to get him too. He ain't acclimated to the pros yet.

I want Bivol to step aside so Jack can fight Stevenson, gives Bivol a chance to fight on the undercard and get some more fights in and experience. Beneficial for both him and Jack so Jack can get a big fight in as he's getting up there in age. Even if Jack were to lose Bivol could make more fighting Stevenson anyway. Win-win anyway you see it.

Would be a good fight. Bivol looks good

Good. Adonis would've killed Jack

Stevenson fighting Alvarez first.

Mann it's time for Stevenson to face a real one, not some ordinary can Jack.
