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.
