Given Njord777's account of where Terdsak is now in his career, it shall be so foolish of me to dream of betting against him, Asian...
But, seriously, I think Luevano brings too much to the table except power. He works the ring pretty well, has a good sense of distance, possesses an excellent right jab (Antonio Davis, I recall, felt it badly, in particular, in the 7th round and again as one of the first punches thrown in the 12th), a mean left straight, a brutal body shot (e.g., vs. Cook and also in the final round against Davis), a more than decent overhand right...
In round 10 of the Davis fight, he worked with his back to the tturnbuckle...countered and dropped Davis. This shows me that although he'd rather fight from far off, he's not really an easy customer up close.
Terdsak's KO/TKO rate is much higher than Luevano's but it seems to me that all of his stoppage victims had losing records. He has fought world class opposition only twice and both times he lost (Marquez and Guzman). This is not saying that Luevano is in the same class as Guzman and Marquez; all I'm saying is Terdsak has not beaten anyone in the class of Luevano.
Luevano had problems with the rough tactics of Honorio and that resulted in his first and only loss. The same style of fighting may be employed by Terdsak (he's called a "pitbull" of some type, after all) but I doubt that it would work at this stage of Luevano's career. Not after what he has shown against Cook and Davis.
I think.
Edit: They are both lefties--Terdsak and Steven. Lefties don't get to fight other lefties often. It'd be interesting to see who is able to adjust and adjust quickly.Last edited by grayfist; 03-12-2008, 11:31 PM.Comment
