[Evil_Meat]

Adonis stays in shape year 'round though and Sugar Hill says so he the article above (if you read french) so he doesn't need the usual first couple of weeks to cut the weight:

Staying in shape year round is different than having an actual training camp and getting to peak condition. You can maintain great fitness, but IMO you can't maintain peak fitness all year round otherwise you'd burn out.

No, I’m a guy who hasn’t been forced under an alt.

I thought Stevenson's phtsique looked very good and trim at the weigh in and he didn't look drained at all, he looked fresh and was smiling even though he weighed 173.5 or something. I think for his age and activity level especially in tough 12 round championship fights he was in a pretty good shape. Remember, Stevenson hasn't been in that kind of fight in many years and that certainly didn't help.

Honestly, I'm annoyed of how Stevenson's career has gone however I was very impressed by his workrate for a 40 year old. He was throwing bombs for many rounds nonstop. In fact he was throwing more for a light heavyweight than JoJo who was like a 126lbs fighter at like 24 years old... Very impressive.

He is skilled indeed!

Agree with this 100%. Pimp saw his title going away and fought to keep it with that flurry in the 10th and staying on his feet in the 12th.

Yeah agree, and i thought it was generally a decent performance from him considering his age and inactivity. It's not like he was in there with a bum, Jack is a quality fighter.

I dislike Stevenson as much as the next man, but credit where it's due.

Awesome to hear him say that, I wouldn't mind him taking a tune-up before giving Jack a rematch.
The Adonis Vs Jack fight wasn't exactly lighting the division on fire we don't need to see it happen right away, Adonis is 40yo can't hold any complaints If he fights someone else, besides its not like Jack deserves a rematch he didn't do enough to win he was lucky to have got the draw If anything.

Stevenson showed heart and held on to keep his belt. Realistically he's 40 years old, and nobody beats father time. He better make his retirement money in his next couple of fights, and secure his place in the division in this era. It may be to late, we'll see.

Oh for sure! And he might have needed more than 3 weeks to get the proper sparring against the type of fighter that Jack is.

"He could prepared for a year, and the result may not have been different," stated trainer Javan "Sugar" Hill...

Well damn, way to back up your fighter, "Sugar"!
