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.
I.E.
Beer
Snacks
Friends over.

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.

I think it had it's 'moments'.. not a lot of them. I liked seeing Jack hurt from them body shots.

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.

I remember Kovalev had a really deadly jab to the body but we ain't gonna see this fight too soon.

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

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.
