Comments Thread For: Badou Jack: Stevenson on different level than guys Gvozdyk beat

[apollocreed]

Pretty Classy of Jack to give Stevenson his Props.

It was a bit of a back handed compliment though - 'he's not a bad fighter'.

Seriously though, Stevenson actually doesn't get the respect he deserves on here. He may have had some soft defences, but to fight like he did against Jack, in a high level brutal fight, at age 40, proved his class to me.

I understand people don't like him because of his past, I'm not part of his fan club or anything, but to me, you can respect someone and not like them. Stevenson is world class and a worthy WBC champion.

Drawdou Jack is an amazing fighter but he had his shot at the pimp and couldnt get it done..

Gvozdyk is also a very skilled guy but vulnerable as well. My prediction is that Gvozdyk will get hurt early but comes back to stop stevenson in the mid-late rounds...finish the job that Badou started. But i also wouldnt be surprised if Gvozdyk gets KTFO since his chin is not that good and he gets hit too much at times.

I think him not being liked has more to do with some's perception that he ducked the Kovalev fight more than his past .

Badou deserves this rematch 100%
He also should of gotten his hand raised, one of my top 3 fighters to watch is Jack.... Guaranteed entertainment every time. If he doesn't get Stevenson I'd be more then pleased to get the degale rematch too. I doubt chunky wants or needs that again though especially at LHW.

jack would waste him. i cant imagine degale doin that. he straight up said no way on uzcategui.

i agree man no way

I'm still surprised that Gvozdyk stopped Chilemba when three other top guys couldnt. But then Karpency dropped him which was also a surprise. The question is if Stevenson ages more and shows it.
