That was a very exciting victory, but I had never heard of his opponent.
He's a force at middleweight, but I just don't think he can beat the top guys.
On any given night that left hook could change my mind though.
It's hard to make anything much of that, we know the guy is a serious puncher capable of blowing out club fighters. I'd like to see him against Quillin, that's almost a pick em fight to me. Quillin isn't hard to hit clean and doesn't have much footwork, Stevens would be really dangerous in that one.
If you blinked you missed it. A half jab and the guy was looking for the exit door on the canvas. He has nice pop at a lower level but its only when your 1st gear doesn't work that you really know what you have. Quillin can work that predictability and his default squaring against him for a nice win but can't see them fighting. Have a feeling that Quillin vs Jacobs comes off ???
Quillin out-grits Stevens.... as Quillin does in every fight.
A rich-man's Sakio Bika, Quillin is.
;D
I wouldnt say he's a force at MW.. he just has power in that left hook but his style is predictable as he fights in one gear.Quote:

Rosado was gaining some steam for a while, but opted for the big payday's as the opponent and going up in weight.
I still think he and Anuglo should have a rematch, course of Angulo beats Canelo then nevermind bout the rematch.
Stevens will come up short against the top guys ;D would like to see him against Kirkland :D

Yeah, I think I'd put money on Kirkland going out in the first round, even at dead even odds. He might have lost to that unknown import Stevens just clobbered at 160, I really don't think he's much good at all.
To me, Stevens is still an interesting opponent for anyone outside of Golovkin of course. He looks to be in pretty good form, he's still a young guy and should probably have always been fighting at 160. I don't remember how seriously he tagged GGG in that fight if at all? Worth a rewatch to see his expression getting up alone:D
Don't think much of Stevens at all :-\ Brinkley and Primera showed us who he is :-X how can a Kirkland fight not be fun :confused:Quote:

Margarito already showed us who Sergio Martinez is by that reasoning.
That's fair enough, it's just that Stevens does hit hard if nothing else, a good deal harder than Angulo I suspect. Kirkland can't do anything to avoid getting hit against anybody, and that doesn't seem it's going to change. The Brinkley fight was really bad for Stevens, but that was at 168, well above where Kirkland will ever fight. I'll bet Anne Wolfe could take James in that division:D
May be going back but who has he beat :confused: Ayala :confused:Quote:

Big left hook. Is he a middleweight version of Rico Ramos? Depends on landing that left hook and if it doesnt come he is very vulnerable?
Sounds about right.. He's a one trick pony, like a borderline B- level fighter.Quote:

Allan Green was bad to the bone that night.. He made a bunch of wannabe goons look stupid as hell.
During the postfight interview, it's as if he didnt even give a fuck about Codrington who was being layed on a stretcher.. He just gave all this shoutouts, even to the used car dealer who sponsored him lol..
He took some heat at first but what people didnt realize was how much shit the chincheckers was talking leading up to the fight. They were disrespecting Green's mother and all kinds of shit..
When you talk about somebody's mom, they are trying to get into some real shit.. Green's intent was to kill Codrington in the ring..
Andre Dirrel? Or did they fight as amateurs?Quote:

Nah I think he means because Curtis Stevens and Codrington were kind of packaging themselves together as the "chink checkers" in those days. They were ringside for each other most fights etc I believe.
