Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson, Badou Jack Battle To a Majority Draw

[RespekonMyName]

Looked like Jack got his rib cracked in the 10th.

Disappointed in Jack. He started way too late. That body shot in the 11th cost him the fight though. I thought had he really turned up the heat on Adonis, he could've gotten him outta there, but he was too cautious the entire fight, imo. The draw was accurate. The only round in question was how you scored the first..

doesn't matter if they fight at his house. It's the only way he knows how to fight. Give away the first half and then fight hard in the 2nd half. It's the way he fought against Degale. He fights this way then screams "robbery" just like Lamont Peterson

So if two fighters dont land much in early rounds you give it to the guy who throws punches that's been either blocked or parried? Thank goodness your not a judge or you'd fit right in with the other useless ancient cabbages thats suffocating the sport by their old ways!

Who did the more damage?

Who was the more hurt fighter?

Who's rounds were more effective?

Adonis hurt Jack either once or twice while Jack had Stevenson hurt several times and out on his feet for 2 straight rounds!

Smh, who gave these fans credentials to watch boxing?

Badou Jack blew it. Took too many early rounds off

I hate the way Jack fights. He could have stopped Stevenson. He was tired in the 9th round. I just hate the way he fights . Now we got to sit thru Stevenson holding that belt hostage for another year

I have to agree with you, he would accept clinches while he was hurting AS, sometimes he would even lean into him when Stevenson was totally shot.

He style is not that of a finisher, a more aggressive fighter stops AS tonight, Jack got screwed by the judges, he clearly won the fight, but in some respects, it's his fault he was even in that position.

Superman was a DEADMAN walking tonight, ripe for the taking, he is nowhere near the fighter he was, and he knew it too, that long walk to his corner after the final bell was that of a man that was beaten emotionally, and physically.

The judges can say what they want, superman got his a$$ kicked tonight, and will certainly look to fight a few cash reup fights before retiring. This is the last time we will see him fight stiff competition, remember, this was not a mandatory defense, he can put off fighting for at least another 8 months, and then fight a BS fight, then wait another year, and fight anyone he wants because it will be a voluntary.

This guy is so bad for boxing, and we have to live with him indefinitely.

Is it just me or do both these guys kind of suck in terms of top level boxing? Obviously they are both way better than I will ever be at boxing, but compared to the top guys I mean. Everyone kept saying they were good so Im confused. Fight was super slow paced, Stevenson still has power but looked super slow and old, and he only has one hand, and no stamina. Jack isn't old, but somehow also showed awful stamina, and he looked weak for light heavyweight. He couldn't hurt a chinny fighter, his power sucks too but hey we already knew that because he couldn't even drop George Groves at 168. I didn't think so before the fight, but I'm now confident Eleider Alvarez would beat both of these guys, let alone Bivol, Beterbiev, and Kovalev. I think Marcus Browne would have a shot too.

He did drop Groves lol

A draw is a very fair result. Stevenson dominated the first half of the fight and had a great 11th but Jack came on strong in the latter half of the fight. We may see a rematch although I would rather see Stevenson fight Kov if Kov doesn’t duck Bivol

I hear you but unless the guy goes down, either by an inch or a mile, the round will still be scored 10-9 (as we barely see 10-8 rounds anymore).

[Squ□redCircle34]

Jack was holding from 1 to 6 tho. Can't deny that.

They both holded 1-6. 6-12.

They both went low.

You could argue the 11th was for Stevenson. He started hot and landed biggest punch.

Def landed biggest shot in the 10th round.

No he wasn't and if he was it wasn't as excessive as Adonis was doing!

Stevenson was being put out of his own line of fire several times in the early rounds an thats due to Badou's footwork and defense!

Stevenson.landing punches on the gloves an elbows are NOT scoring blows!

Tell me, why didn't ref deduct a point in round 9 when Adonis was out on his feet clinching 5x.in a row everytime Jack was positioned to work the body?

The ref was getting on Jack more than he was Adonis,.open your rose colored eyes and may be you'll see too!

7-5 either way or 6-6 is how every judge had the fight and mostly everyone who scored it. Even if Jack had Stevenson out on his feet in rounds 7-12 but lost rounds 1-6, a round is a round. There were no 10-8 rounds. Stevenson won a lot of early rounds in which Jack wasn't even throwing punches and Jack won a majority of late rounds outside of the 11th. Doesn't matter if someone had a fighter hurt more times. If it's not a 10-8 round it's irrelevant to the conversation. How did you score it?
