    Badou Jack would be a p4p fighter if he was more consistent

    He should've been fighting the way he did in the 6th in the second and up. Why wait so long knowing that you are in Stevenson's backyard. This fight was ****. Sadly, I agree it was a Draw. Jack should've kept up the pace and Stevenson should've stayed consistent as well. The biggest disappointment this year.

    Why don't people understand that p4p Stevenson hits very very hard. He hits marginally harder than Kovalev and Kovalev hits like a brick. Why are people surprised Jack didn't run at him like a freight train? Typically what you do is try to survive the early rounds of a power punch where his punch is still potent.

      Still, other doesn't make sense to start punching until the 6th or 7th round.

        If he tries coming forward from the first round on when Stevenson is at full strength there's a good chance he gets knocked out. Jack actually had a very good game plan and was executing it well. The one hiccup was the round he got hurt in and that decided the fight.

          when Jim Grey asks him why he can't seem to get the decision, Badou Jack actually thinks that the judges are prejudiced against his promother Floyd, lol, this guy does nothing in the early rounds, and if he doen't realize it he'll continue to get draws at best.

            Stevenson is very very good when he has gas.

            Good steady jab

            Tags the body

            Good footwork

            Two handed one shot power

            Decent enough chin


            The gas tank is just a huge vulnerability

              Point exactly. It shouldn't take you all the way to the sixth to start fighting

                It's been explained to you three times. If you ain't tryna hear it, you ain't tryna hear it. Rant away.

                  Badou Jack could have stopped Adonis Stevenson if he hadn't shown him so much respect. There was times when he had Stevenson rocking and he seemed to let him off the hook. Too much wrestling and inside slugging. I also wouldn't be surprised if Jack suffered a rib injury early in the fight.

                  Also, I think Jack beat James DeGale and George Groves was the one who was more deserving of a draw.

                    Jack didn't follow through at times because he was being weary of any sneaky lefts from Stevenson
