I think Adonis has a better chance against Kovalev than Jack does..
If Adonis manages to win the rematch he should just cash out and finally get the fight with Kovalev..it’s pathetic how these two never fought.

I used to give Stevenson a small chance against kovalev. After the Jack fight, i'm thinking Kovalev absolutely mauls him. Its possible that Kov gets caught with a counter but I dont see even see Stevenson being able to keep pace with Kovalev, considering the way he tried to feint and cruise through the early rounds against jack. I think stevenson will just wear himself off trying to stave off kovalev with big swings while kovalev stalks him and picks at him. Somewhere about 3 Stevenson gets a notch slower and Kov will sting him with straight punches. I think from there its a shorter version of pascal.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

I know a lot of people seem to feel sorry for jack but yet again he failed to get the job done. If he started to go to work a round sooner in all his draws he could've turned them to wins but he always starts too slow.
its easy to blame judges but he has to take responsibility for his own actions
it may sound harsh but it's only because he's capable of more. If he gave it is all but came up short that's a different story but he was fighting a 40 year old who hasn't fought a top fighter in years and has been blown away by a journeyman. Jack should've gone for it more. If there's a rematch jack wins
I agree with that assessment, @Alpha . First time around, Jack had probably heard a million times how Stevenson could end the fight with one left hand, and that's got to have a little effect on your approach to the fight. That's why when I see the torrent of opinion that Jack should've "started sooner", I counter with "easier said than done", when you're the one facing down that lethal weapon. Now Jack's been there, done that. If there was a rematch, number one Stevenson would be that much older..... and Father Time looks like it's gonna do a number on Adonis. Number two, Jack has now faced Stevenson and the element of surprise is no longer there. Yeah, he knocks him out.
On the flip side Jack could be getting knocked out. It still only takes one punch from Stevenson.
