      Sumbu Kalambay used to have the same problem. He always started slow (which cost him a first round knockout loss against Michael Nunn, who caught him cold).

      But he achieved much more than Jack, who is a good fighter and a nice guy, but always manages to look just over average.

        It’s incredible
        I’d figure it would be something pretty easy to fix

            My theory is that boxing is not something he really loves or enjoys. Or else, his intensity level would be higher from the beginning. Jack starts fighting only when it becomes necessary.

              Lol but obviously to late
              After all the draws or close fights , you’d figure he would adjust

                i thought Pascal won. the early rounds matter. and Pascal put em all in the bank.

                  I thought Jack clearly beat Pascal by 2 or possibly 3 points He does seem to be a jinx for your bets.

                    You'd think you would learn by now.

                    In close fights always always pick the money maker or the home fighter.

                      Jack on pts was my insurance to break even or win a measly $10 I think it was. I Was pretty sure he'd win on points though so I put half the $50 on him. Though since I am a born loser I tried to get creative playing all sides.

                      5$ on the draw would have won me the exact same amount (1 cent less literally) as my $20 Pascal bet which paid $116.12

                      Keep in mind was all parlayed with Tank by KO which made for a pretty hilarious night of low stakes action

                      Should have put it all on Pascal since I won big on a $50 9/1 bet vs Marcus Browne but figured this would be a very close one
