    IMO Jack vs Gvozdyk is a forgone conclusion.

    I just don't see how Adonis Stevenson beats Badou Jack right now. There is a reason he stepped aside fee Eleider Alvarez to fight Fonflattened Joe Smith Jr. victim. And at 40 years old age caught up to him, though you cant count him out, but I just don't see it.

    And Alvarez vs Gvozdyk, hell, Alvarez has a better chance on beating Adonis Stevenson than beating Oleksandr Gvozdyk. He has been stepping aside for too much and now when he stepped aside he also stepped on ****. And also, a stylistic nightmare in favor for Gvozdyk, the way he out box, out punched Chilemba who IMO beat Alvarez in their match.

    I think Jack will pull it off vs Stevenson, agree with you on that.

    I understand what you're getting at when it comes to Alvarez vs. Gvozdyk, but understand that styles make fights and I think this triangle theory will prove to be incorrect. I think Alvarez will pull it off, although really its a 50-50 fight that can go either way and I'm surprised Alvarez is taking this fight to be brutally honest. There is no reason for him to and it's extremely risky as he is on the brink of a title shot.

    Once again 50-50 fight but I think Alvarez will get the W.

      Badou Jack has really grown on me since the Edwards loss.. for my money he's shown himself to be elite at 168 and I've little doubt he'll be amongst the best at 175, but... he has shown vulnerabilities, especially early, and that Stevenson left still remains one of the most potent in the sport. I would not be at all surprised to see Badou caught early and perhaps stopped - certainly I think he'll be forced to fight with a great deal of caution when he realises what he's looking at. Gun to head I'm going to say Jack by close UD/SD, but there's nothing foregone about it.

      Gvozdyk vs Alvarez? Gvozdyk is special in my book, whereas Alvarez is just solid. The Ukrainian got this nailed.

            There's smth fishy about these boxers from Ukraine.
            Gvozdyk means "a small nail".
            Usyk is "a small moustache".
            Loma is "a small tommy-bar".
            Berynchyk is "a small bear".
            Coincidence?
