I think the plan was to wait for Stevenson to tire. His trainer kept going on about it. Stevenson is dangerous in early rounds so he had to be careful. Around the 3rd round it was clear that the left wasn't really there for Stevenson. The body punches was key to Jack not totally dominating the last 6 rounds. Stevenson landed some heavy shots which kind of tampered Jack's offense late in the fight.

No fighter can win on points by losing 6 rounds, it really is as simple as that.

Originally posted by soul_survivor View Post...that he starts too slow. I had Stevenson winning all 6 of the first half of rounds. All Jack did was keep stepping back and not do anything. Throw punches? A few. Land any? Even fewer. All the while Stevenson was coming forward and throwing punches...i.e. boxing.
Why does he do it? He doesn't have bad stamina and yet he has wasted rounds against DeGale, Groves and even a shot Bute.
If you waste almost half thE fight, unless you get multiple kds, you cant win the fight, it is IMPOSSIBLE.
Maybe he needs to stop whinging about mayweather and start fighting.

he's good enough to beat the top dogs, but just barely
too bad he's not a cash cow, otherwise those draws would be W's

Jack definitely won the 4th, and the only clear rounds for Stevenson were the 5th and 6th. Jack needed one of those first three rounds and they were all toss-ups he could have nabbed. He needs to do more to avoid this situation repeating itself like it has.
