    im no fan of stevenson but....

    do people not realise hes 40 years old? people making it sound like he was exposed lol.

    in my eyes it shows how good he is that he can be competitive with (and many people thought he beat) jack at his age.

    most fighters at 40 are on the scrapheap and hes not exactly got a style thats well suited to ageing either.

    so fair play to him, good performance and i thought he deserved the nod.

    I'm sure all of the soft touches for the past 6 years has helped a lot with his longevity.

      Not particularly hard on him, you can’t KO everyone. I think sometimes you get in there and you realise that the person in front of you isn’t tough than he looks.

        Eh, Jack gave him way too much respect early. Had he stepped on the gas early he would have stopped Stevenson I think.

          He was also a late starter and this is exactly how he has looked for years.

            He showed heart rallying in the 10th round after the pep talk in his corner

            He was visibly tired towards the end of the 6th

              he doesn't have the milage of a 40 year old fighter though. Didn't even start until 29, and has had nothing but soft touches since winning the title.

                The pimp kept his belt, let's move on. It's not like Jack was a knock out puncher. Jack barly moved the ref with that accident hit lol

                  Its true, 40 is 40 and you are going to be far from optimal at that age. So he deserves credit, but at the same time, he has lot of red flags in terms of PED use.

                    He looked every bit of 40 the last 5-6 rounds until he hurt Jack in the 11th I think it was? Good Fight but Stevenson loses to whoever is lucky enough to fight him next after a tough physical fight like that this late in his career
