Happened in the 1st when he went to move out. Just hope he can get off that damn ventilator.
You're saying the first round is where he suffered the first bit of trauma? Have to look at it then.

But sadly: THIS is why they ask fighters to train hard and fight quality opposition. Both in ring and in sparring.

Stevenson suffered as a result because he was fighting cupcakes and then walked in to fight a demon. His fight against Jack was an indication that he clearly did not want to take on any serious challenge when Jack nearly got him out of there too.

If not for Stevenson's power, he would have probably never had been a champion because his heart, courage and boxing skills were not there with the boxing skills being slightly above average and courage and heart were virtually nil.
