Comments Thread For: Jack: Canadian Fans Don't Support Unlikeable Ex-Pimp Stevenson

[Evil_Meat]

As a Canadian, I agree...

I'm a Canadian who'll be there cheering on Adonis. I like boxers for how they fight and I'm not going to not like Adonis for something horrible he did as a teenager.

Stevenson is just a bad person.

Some boxers play the 'heel' like a character, to try to convince fans to buy fights. Stevenson is an actual evil scumbag.

I can't work out how anyone could be a fan, unless that fan was just as much of a scumbag.

I like watching Adonis fight .
All this stuff about he's a Bad guy , he's an Ex-pimp , people shouldn't support him ... Hey if you don't like him Don't tune in .

Check this out Jack, Canada has embraced their champion, there's no need to hate. Who in America shows up to see you?! if Mayweather wasn't your promoter you get no buzz!

Just look how many Canadians show out for 'Superman' and I just remembered when Badou Jack got a gift draw vs. James Degale last year at the Barclays in Brooklyn NY ; they couldn't even give tickets away for Jacks 'unification'! but Toronto is going to be lit this Saturday babe, its going to be like the Players Ball came into town! Pimps UP!

lol you **** on Tyson at every opportunity and say how can anyone support a convicted rapist (against a women that has falsely accused **** before)

but you support someone who beat up, ****d and pimped out underage girls

... that "pimp situation" is something which happened some 20 years ago... in addition: "While in prison, he also pleaded guilty to aggravated assault after putting a fellow inmate into a coma."

... Stevenson eventually turned pro at 29 yo, in 2006... and Manny Steward was his trainer (2006-2012)...

He’s a fighting pimp. Or pizimp.

Pretty pathetic to say that since you've never met him. Now I'm a scumbag for liking a boxer that did horrible things as a teenager? I think you're the scumbag but it's just my opinion.

That's exactly my point though..... I like Stevenson because of how he boxes but you're right I do need to relax.

I'm a fan of both fighters, but I think Jack is in for a rude awakening if he thinks the crowd will be cheering for him (or jeering for Adonis). As someone who was born in Downsview (and most all of my family is still there, some gong to the fight)...I can tell you the support for Adonis is large. With that said, I think this was a case of a reporter asking Jack about Adonis having the support of "all" Canadian boxing fans, and Badou was simply trying to say "not all".
