Thread: Quillin vs. Stevens

Assuming Quillin gets by Konecny, which he will, I imagine there's a good chance he'll face Curtis Stevens next. Stevens has called him out numerous times and deserves the fight more than Jacobs, who hasn't really faced a live opponent since facing Pirog a few years ago. Stevens against Quillin at Barclays would be big because Stevens is from Brooklyn and Kid Chocolate now calls Brooklyn home. Plus if Quillin could beat Stevens, it'll draw comparisons with GGG. Who wins the fight?

It is a fight that makes sense because stevens has earned his and the fact that both represent Brooklyn makes a good story..

Stevens is a one trick pony and quillin has too much range for him.. seems like many people are getting off quillins bandwagon due to his choice of oppositions but make no mistake , he's one of the elite fighters at 160..

Deserving or not, Daniel Jacobs is a much better fighter than stevens and he actually has a chance to beat quillin...

I wanna see jacobs get a shot..

Stevens would probably be outboxed n maybe stopped late by Quillin, who is not that much behind GGG in terms of talent and skill.

Alot of fans are pretending that Stevens is some good fighter now lol.. His other half of the ChinChecker, Jaidon Condrington, was a better fighter imo..

I think if you dont think hes a good fighter you are a bit of a fool

I really don't think Stevens has much to bother Quillin with and will get his ears boxed. With the exception of 2 rounds Stevens has been sponging some serious punches over the last three and looks a bit confused in the corner.

Let's be honest though. What has Quillin done for us lately? He's got one good win over N'Dam a couple of years ago, but even in that fight, he lost most rounds when he couldn't put N'Dam down. He had a rough go with Rosado where he escaped by his coattails. He's following up the Rosado fight with a fight against Konecny. I agree he's the odd man out at middleweight because he's on Showtime, which has hurt him, but still I'm not sure why no one would give Stevens a chance in that fight. Quillin would be the favorite to beat Stevens but I think he'd be in a fight. In any event, it would be better than Konecny.

I'm with ya dude, I give Stevens the proverbial punchers chance but honestly that's what he's come down too with anyone. Johnson p'owned him for 9 rounds and beat him at his own game. I really think the Rosado match is overblown and Quillin was well ahead, picking his shots and out boxing Rosado who was doing a lot of smoke & mirrors with forward aggression that literally left him wide open to be cut up. It wasn't a coincidence that he was out boxed and stopped on the very same cut Golovkin opened prior and Charlo out boxed him and exploited for a win next fight out. Stevens is a hard luck battler with one dimension and 15 minutes well ticked off the clock. Jacobs I think would be a far harder fight for Quillin style wise.
