Adonis Stevenson (WBC) vs. Badou Jack - May 19th 2018

[wesshaw1985]

who wins?

[Lackeos]

Would be great if it happened. Badou Jack is pretty good, and he'd be a great addition to Stevenson's resume. Clearly the best opponent Stevenson has fought since at least Bellew in 2013.

[Stuarty]

Why fuckin May?

[caldo2025]

Finally Adonis books a tough fight and it should be his last one unless Jack's glass jaw reemerges from a lefthand early.

Jack is very underrated. I hate that he's a TMT fighter but I do like his style inside the ring. I'll give Adonis full credit for this defense because he'll deserve it with a clear win over a quality boxer like Jack. No arguments here no mater how much i hate Adonis.

[jamamb]

ya, jacks so underrated that everyone now calls him underrated

now just think about why that might not work

[Bard of Boxrec]

I pick Jack by stoppage.

[Yes We Can]

Benson is a twat.

[Counter-puncher]

I pick Jack by stoppage.

yeah, I think his style should have Stevenson backing off and moving a lot. this will both take energy from Ol' Pimp Hand, and stop him getting the same momentum into his shots that he usually does. I think Jack's ring nous and defence are good enough to protect him from Stevensons pot-shotting big left hand, and I can see his good bodypunching grinding him down. at least I hope so.

[ElJefe]

I haven't wanted a fighter to win as much as I want Jack to beat Adonis in a while. Hope he finally rids that gobshite from the top of the division.

[Stuarty]

Benson is a twat.

I always found him to be more of a cùnt but I suppose I'm just splitting hairs

[KiwiRider]

So far away. Typical once a year Stevenson. That means if Aducky wins, it will be a long time before Alverez gets his shot, or Chickenson retires.
Come on Badu!

[Yes We Can]

Benson is a twat.

I always found him to be more of a cùnt but I suppose I'm just splitting hairs :OhYes:

Ha!

Come on Badu!

Yeah I'm a Badou fan here! Stevenson can fuckin hit though man! As much as I hate the prick he carries freak power!

[boxing_rocks]

I hope that Jack takes the belt. Stevenson has been a disgrace of a champion.

[KiwiRider]

This is the most anticipated Stevenson fight for me, since Bellew.
I'm actually quite excited about it. I believe ( once I stopped underrating) Jack is the best opponent Stevenson has faced so far.
While I don't think it is quite 50/50, because Stevenson is such a banger, I do think it is the closest thing to a credible challenger in what seems like an eternity for Adonis. Bring it on!
Oh wait, it's ages away

[jewboypgh]

Let’s hope Jack creams him. I don’t like people that duck people

[jamamb]

ya, jesus, may?!? ffs. this fight was already pretty solidly rumored like back in december. they need half a year for it?

still, im looking forward to it. both very good fighters. still a shame adonis-kov never happened. i think adonis really is a very gifted fighter but now going on 41 im not sure if hell ever achieve what he couldve. to bad duva didnt have faith in kovalev beating adonis.

[Evander]

It's a miracle Stevenson is having some kind of meaningful fight even if Jack is moving up to Light Heavyweight.

[Nightmare Roy]

Benson is a twat.

Made me really laugh anyway. So who was the originator?

And when you think about it, he probably wasn't.

I really want Jack to win to get this title regularly contested again. I would expect that Stevenson's inactivity might play a part and won't have helped his cause any, and that Jack has the nous to keep clear of Stevenson's rocket. Should be another good fight for 2018. It's shaping up very nicely.

[apollo creed]

Stevenson is one cagey mofo in the ring, let alone his genuine KO power. Jack may find out he is in a very tough fight.

[candyslim]

Agreed

[Ruthless-RKO]

Bell Centre has been announced

[brilo33]

[KiwiRider]

Bell Centre has been announced

That's a good sized venue. Isn't it 21,000 for hockey, and 25 for boxing?
