Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson vs. Oleksandr Gvozdyk Eyed For November 3

[scarybodyshot]

Hasn't the pimp already fought this year?

[My Low Place]

There's a good reason Jack didn't open up early... same reason Gvozdyk might not as well... We're not the only ones watching fights on youtube and they know what might be coming at them out of nowhere... So they hope he'll run out of gas, which didn't happen the way Jack thought it would, didn't it ?

SAVAGE!!!
jack even with the low blows couldnt deter adonis...and jack imo would put hands on gvozdyk!!

... 21 of Adonis' 24 KOs happened in the rounds 1-6...

Old man Stevenson by KO. Jack started slow for a reason Stevenson was still sharp and dangerous.

I might take the Nail in this one

... yes: Jack's "strategy" was to low blow Adonis first, in order to weaken him...

Gvozdyk might be catching him at the right time, didn't look good vs Jack especially second half of the fight

I honestly don’t know how he wins at all in ANY of his fights! He is a one trick pony (his left hand). He doesn’t have a right whatsoever! No hook, no cross, no uppercut and barely a jab. I don’t know how fighters haven’t figured out to completely ignore his right hand and focus on one (his left). Honestly the guy is not that good. Watch his fights he seriously has no right hand at all

[Boxing Logic]

i'd have to ask if gvoadyk is going to land low blows in the 6th to turn the tide like jack
i'd have to ask is gvozdyk capable of taking the shots jack took until jack turned it around

and most importnatly adonis will be 41 the night of the fight and leave a DIRTY, but brutal, 2nd half of a fight with jacks...so how much does that take out of you??

i went in to the jack fight thinking adonis was stilll all the way there and he was until those low blows....THIS FIGHT will answer some questions if it goes late and he's giving gvozdyk some kind of less or whooping still

The irony of you talking about low blows turning a fight when you support Andre Ward. All we heard from Ward fans is that Kovalev just quit or he was tiring from body shots, and the low blows were not the reason he was tiring so quickly. But here you are saying the exact opposite when it suits your BIAS.

Just have consistent standards man. That's all anyone asks. And if you had a real eye for boxing you would have seen that Adonis Stevenson has lost snap on his punches since the Thomas Williams Jr fight at minimum (who gave Stevenson a real fight despite the fact that Williams was beaten badly by Campillo who in turn was beaten badly by both Kovalev and Beterbiev. That should tell you how far behind the Showtime top 175s like Stevenson and Jack are from the HBO/ESPN ones), just like you would know that GGG has lost snap on punches (and stamina same as Stevenson), Kovalev has although not as much, and most other fighters over the age of 32 especially ones being drug tested.

But yeah man, I would say Stevenson is 7% to 10% slower than he was in his prime, and his gas tank has declined 20%. Just guesstimates, but I can see the difference in his punches. Still has a very powerful, perfect form left hand, and it's still snappy, but it's not snappy like it used to be when it was one of the snappiest in the sport of boxing. It's similar to Manny Pacquiao when he fought Cotto compared to Manny Pacquiao by the time of 2nd and 3rd Bradley fights, or the Floyd fight. Still a nice left, but not the slingshot it used to be.

WTF in November? In half a year??? Poor Gvozdyk has to wait forever for this pimp and then he will probably pull out anyway in last second.

[Pigeons]

Good fight. Soviets will hold every 175 lb. title with a Gvozdyk victory.
