Great news to start the night, sad i missed it.

Stevenson didn't really get beat up, the power/activity was still there, and he hurt Gvozdyk whenever he landed solid, almost putting him through the ropes late.

Teddy Atlas simply came up with a great game plan and Gvozdyk didn't deviate from it. Keep the distance, always circle left, fight off the angle, never sit square, fire your 2-3 shots and changed the angle, etc.

They fight 10 more times, and if Gvozdyk isn't all the way stuck to Teddy's tactics, he likely gets clipped 8 of 10 times.

Another propped up hypejob bites the dust. Well done Gvozdyk!

I don't think he was a hype job. I think he was a damn good fighter with some damn good KO wins to his credit. He finally got beat at age 41 by a good 31 year old. Most boxers are retired or absolutely shot at 41. For such an old boxer he fought very well and in his prime he was a hell of a fighter and a deadly puncher.

Gvozdyk was simply the better fighter. Yeah, Stevenson always has that chance to clip Gvozdyk but the Ukrainian had a solid and almost completely dominating performance. Stevenson suffers from the same issues that Kovalev has which is unremarkable stamina and conditioning and a porous defense.

Maybe now we'll get Stevenson vs Kovalev.

He actually looked decent. Very much his usual self and better than in some recent fights. Gvozdyk was just too sharp for him.
