Adonis Stevenson vs. Oleksandr Gvozdyk - December 1, 2018

[oogiebe]

Stevenson’s left hand is capable of stopping almost any fighter in the 175lbs division, but the Canadian punchers’ poor stamina causes him to fade during the second half of bouts.

It’s clear that Gvozdyk has to box cautiously at first to try to avoid Stevenson’s blows, but he’s not that kind of fighter, is he?

I’d expect the Ukraine to win this bout via a late rounds retirement, as I have this gut feeling that the Badou Jack fight was Stevenson’s last hurrah, but I’ll concede that the outcome is far from certain.

I don't know EO...Stevenson's seems to be more assertive here and Gvozdyk still seems cautious.

Gvozdyk has underrated power. Seems to be hurting Stevenson at times.

Should have been a KD, ropes held him up

[oogiebe]

I got it 95-95 even after 10

Are you watching Stevenson/Gvozdyk? :-0

[squiggy]

That balances the KD Gvozdyk should've gotten credit for earlier.

[diddy]

Gvod is clearly ahead on my card but in Canada it’s way too close for comfort. I have him up 5. Id say he’s really up 1 on 2 cards through 10 and probably up wide on the 3rd card.

[oogiebe]

WOW! What a finish! TKO win for Gvozdyk! Enlightened one called this perfectly!
