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

Adonis has been reviled and underrated for years.
He just keeps winning.
Jack is a competent and deserving challenger but has yet to prove he can beat an elite 175 pounder.
There's a big difference between moving up in weight and beating Cleverly than there is taking on the long-reigning Superman.
Sure, being 40 is usually a minus, not a plus. But in his adopted country of Canada, Stevenson will feel 10 foot tall and 10 years younger.
I'd be surprised if Jack hears the final bell.

I think so too. Adonis is up there in age, and hasn't fought any particularly tough opponents in quite a while. Badou Jack is the toughest opponent he'll have faced in many years.

Adonis in 8. betting odds favor Stevenson as a -165 favorite. Just saying! :-)

I'm just not impressed with Jack to call him over Adonis. A split with DeGale; a DQ win over Bute; SD win over Groves; MD with Dirrell. Adonis will take him out. IMNSHO.

Honestly don't have a clue which is great as a fan but not too great as a gambler, think I will stay away from betting on this and just enjoy watching it.

Jack will be surprised at the power of a true 175 LB'er.

Good names on his resume but none at light heavyweight.
Stevenson has been The Man overall among 175 pounders for more than 5 years.
That figures to make a difference, while Jack has been feasting basically on super middles. And going neck and neck to beat them (or draw as the case may be.)

I've never been impressed with Badou Jack either. I don't think it'll take an especially impressive fighter to defeat Stevenson, that's why Stevenson has always ducked all the impressive ones.

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.

Price has fallen in the past few days.
Stevenson now about a -140 favorite.
Lomachenko dropped from -2000 to -1200 in the day before the fight, so what the hell do bettors know?

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.
