I never thought Brinkley would make Stevens looked so bad but I knew Stevens was not a good professional fighter and he doesn't look to want to be. Curtis Stevens is better suited for the amateurs and somehow he just doesn't get that he has to work on many things. He just refuses to learn how to box. He has a very nice jab and hardly uses it. He pulls away a lot when he thows his left hook. His head movement is minimal and when he finally gets inside he doesn't capitalize by throwing numerous body punches. Not to mention that his body type is at a disadvantage for a long fight, 10-12 rounds. Also Stevens movement coming in is too predictable. Shawn Porter is a short muscular fighter who knows what he is. He even went down 2 weight classes to compensate. Stevens should take note. But back to Brinkley. Brinkley does deserve a payday but Bute will have served Brinkley like a lesser sparring partner. He has nothing to match Bute in any department. But I do appreciate that Brinkley is going to get his payday.
