Boring-hard to watch fight; Stevenson should retire; Kovalev / Bivol would beat both of them!
This fight was like watching paint dry on the wall. Stevenson was rusty and exhausted and Jack boxed negatively to not get clipped by Stevenson.

I waited 12 rounds for something to happen and it never did. A true snorer...
I agree it's time for Stevenson to retire.

The only good thing about this fight is that I didn't waste the fight of the night setup.

IMO this fight was more like a stablemate business-fight with a decision to guarantee a rematch and other paydays. Floyd doing business with his friend Al.

I wouldn't pay to see a rematch, nor either fighter for that matter, unless the opponent is Kovalev, which isn't about to happen.apollo creed wrote: ↑20 May 2018, 13:22 IMO this fight was more like a stablemate business-fight with a decision to guarantee a rematch and other paydays.

I think it had it's 'moments'.. not a lot of them. I liked seeing Jack hurt from them body shots.
Re: Boring-hard to watch fight; Stevenson should retire; Kovalev / Bivol would beat both of them!
I agree...the body attack and the response by Jack was the most interesting aspect of the bout. Next opponent for Jack will go to the body early and often.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑20 May 2018, 13:34 I think it had it's 'moments'.. not a lot of them. I liked seeing Jack hurt from them body shots.

Whatever happens, it will probably take another 10-12 months before we find out, if anyone is interested by then. And what will probably happen after 10-12 months is Stevenson retires 
Re: Boring-hard to watch fight; Stevenson should retire; Kovalev / Bivol would beat both of them!
Jack was the first half way decent fighter Stevenson has faced but honestly I would have
loved to see Bivol, Crusher, Beterbiev or Joe Smith instead of Jack as the challenger.

This fight went exactly how I thought it would.
A half boring draw.
All business.
A rematch no one wants.

Jack managed to have 3 draws in his last 5 fights. He is in a running for Boredom King of Boxing.
