My lips are sealed. But an announcement was made earlier today in the Boxing History section.

Thank you!!!
Now if we can get rid of asdfucked. He was banned under one name and came back the same day under another
Admin know it yet allow it
Ban his @$$$

I haven't seen AJKlitschfury, asdjfkl's alter ego, for a while. He stupidly outed himself.

Perhaps he's too busy. He may have finally landed his dream job----washing Wilder's underwear.

Can you give us a hint. Maybe the thread title. Or the first letter of the persons name that was banned?

Jack has only stopped 1 of his last 5 opponents. So this prediction is probably wrong.

And that was against a "past it" Cleverly.

Stevenson was older than Jack when he moved up to 175.

Such a tough fight to call with certainty as Stevenson is in his 40's now & sooner or later the well runs dry.

The best Stevenson beats the best Jack but how much is there. The longer the fight goes the more I fancy Jack though but even then Stevenson does know who to box at range when he wants to.

I'm actually pretty sure in it and I don't know, why many people favour Adonis. Stevenson is aging, he has been fighting lower class competition, he isn't very active. Jack will stop him, as I see it.

Jack knows his craft and at 175 he's stronger.

If the fight goes to the later rounds, Badou Jack either scores a late stoppage or earns a decision victory. However, the Swedish fighter is a notoriously slow starter and often gets dropped or staggered early.

In stark contrast, Stevenson has one of the best southpaw straight left hands I’ve ever seen, he has a very simple, yet effective fighting style and he is also excellent from long range.

So whilst it’s entirely possible for Badou Jack to win this fight, I won’t rule out a shockingly quick KO victory for Adonis Stevenson either, possibly inside four rounds.

Like you. I'm just going to enjoy the fight.

Yup...100%...I posted almost identical on another thread. You MUST be brilliant!

Well I guess that now that a certain someone has been defrocked and banished from Boxrec, we might be the two most brilliant people here....moderators excepted of course.

Not me mate, I'm dumb as lint.

Yes, but Jack only has one fight at 175 and Adonis has plenty. It will all feel different for Jack at 175 with a banger.

We are at the end of Adonis reign. I believe he has enough left to beat Jack.
But I wouldn't be shocked to see a controversial decision win for Jack

Stevenson can bang but he's not going to be the bigger man in the ring on Saturday. In close the strength will be with Jack

We'll see soon enough. You make a good point. Still stick by my comment.

It's the end of his career. Don't be shocked to see it. Financially better to have a fighter beating the champ. Than have the champ retire with the belt.
Jack has a decent following and it could end up making certain people a buck.

But hell I've been wrong numerous times.
I still think Adonis knocks him out

Yeah, they moved the fight from one part of Canada to another part.

But it's still Canada, so Stevenson only has to protect the home ring advantage.

Of course the judging was quite fair when BJS traveled to Canada against Lemieux.

I was waiting for the one-sided affair to be announced as a split decision.

So if Jack deserves it, he'll get it. But anything controversial is going Stevenson's way.

I don't see it going the distance anyway.

Thread bumped.

I cannot see this fight being shite. This is what boxings made of.The long reigning and aging champ, can he hold on to his title. Or will the relatively obscure but hungry challenger finish him and his career.

I think he can do it (Jack) And I think he’ll do it with body shots. Maybe 2:49 into round 9 or 2:55 Adonis will go down for the count. Total Punches thrown Adonis 454. Punches thrown by jack 2. A jab in round one and a left hook to the body that ends things in rd 9.

These guys are normally spot on. Good prefight commentary imo.

Is it just me or Stevenson seems not as muscular as before at the weigh-in? Maybe the WBC Clean Boxing Program takes its toll?

Yup he looks more leaner. His KO power might be just a myth in this fight.

For those if you backing the challenger, you might find reassurance in the betting trend.

Badou Jack has suddenly assumed the favorites' role. He's a -125 choice to end Stevenson's reign.

You can get back even money if you still side with the champion.

Superman had opened a -180 favorite to retain his title.

Adonis is +600 to win a decision? In Canada? Wtf.

That is begging for a bet.

The main book that I use had Stevenson +550 to win a decision. So you're right. Those are tasty odds considering the bouts in Canada.

Stevenson is only +175 to win by KO.

Oddsmakers surprisingly give Jack a pretty good shot to take a decision; better than Stevenson at +225.
