I had it in Stevenson's favor but can see it either way and wouldn't argue it. Adonis looks very old, I don't think he has a lot of time left on the throne. I'm not sure Jack has what it takes to win the wars against the likes of Kovalev, Gvozdyk, Bivol, etc.

Close fight. I had Adonis up a point. The draw is perfectly reasonable. Jack is a very good fighter, but he does just enough to earn a draw. Almost every time! He has nothing to complain about.

Originally posted by WhatDisButtonDo View PostI honestly believe within reason if a draw is ruled that if the fighters and trainers agree on it. They should be allowed to fight out a 13th round in case of a draw. That might sound silly, but I honestly think that would work out a lot of kinks.

I wonder about adding another element to scoring. Perhaps a 'dominant' winning round, and a 'marginal' winning round. So for this fight you could argue Stevenson won 6 rounds fairly marginally, with Jack winning 2 or 3 of the 6 rounds he won dominantly. A 10-9 D could then outweigh a 10-9 M on countback.
That might help decide fights where one fighter beats up another in a round, doing everything but getting the knockdown, then perhaps gets narrowly out-jabbed the following round. Might encourage more exciting fights too.
