Hope for Stevenson that he doesn't end up as badly as Colon. Just watched the video about him, what a tragedy this is
What happened to Prichard is a tragedy, what happened to Stevenson isn't. One was a likable kid whose opponent fought dirty, the other's a fucking pimp that got straight knocked out and couldn't deal with it.
People need to get over this. It happened 20 years ago and Stevenson never did anything criminal or reprehensible since then. Bunch of prudes
yes. I'm sure that a well known millionaire boxer was able to secretly indulge into a ton of criminal activities. He probably was pimping some girls on the side while he was traveling around the US defending his belt. Always be suspicious of the black men. Criminality is inscribed in his genes
Now one has to wonder.. what would prime Kov have done to Stevenson? I'm being serious, maybe it's good for Stevenson's health that he ducked Kov.
After kovalev wad koed by Alvarez, who isn't much of a puncher, I'm pretty sure Adonis wpuld have put him to sleep
Pimpin hos ain't easy. There are far, far fewer ring deaths these days than 10-15 years ago. I'm not sure what happened, but it is obvious and clear. The last championship death might be the WBO 115 lb guy who didn't show any signs until the next day. Vegas fight, undercard on Barrera/Morales rematch. Yo Sam Choi was a champ who died from a fight injury, but after his reign was over. I think that was more recent.
Kov-Stevenson could have gone either way. Would have come down to who can land first. Stevenson’s situation is unfortunate. Hindsight is 20-20 but I think he hung on a little too long. He probably should have retired a year or two ago. I thought he looked bad in a couple of fights against those bums he fought. And against Badou Jack his reflexes appeared shot. Ditto for Kov. I think he needs to consider hanging up his gloves. He’s taken two bad beatings and that shortens lives.
QUOTE: Xplosive "Whatever. Last time I watched live a fighter get permanently injured is when some cool fuck (forgot his name, Mostarda I think) turned cdogg187 into a 280lb, ginger-liquidated-lunged-vegetable-fwok after hitting him with 1 rabbit punch. But that wasnt high profile, just funny, oo" Hey, Im here all week!
Stevenson had emergency brain surgery according to espn. meanwhile showtime is showing a replay of his fight with jack He looked like a dead man walking during the second half of the jack fight and most of the gvodcyk fight
i think it sucks that stevenson got hurt in the fight and i hope he can recover somehow, as unlikely as it seems. that said, the guy showed signs of this occurring in his last two fights. he looked like an old fighter going on fumes
Yeah, I was surprised to hear he was still fighting, especially a young dangerous guy. He’s made good money for a while so I figured he’d probably have a retirement showcase against a can and call it quits.
Yeah,, definitively should have retired before. Was slowing down dramatically in his last few fights.
I dont think it had anything to do with sticking around too long. I would say that if Stevenson was a guy who endured a lot of punishment in his career, but he didn't at all. This shit just happens sometimes. It can happen to any fighter, prime or not. This is a DANGEROUS fucking sport.
Who pretends that? JOM? I wasn't saying I think the guy is good... quite the opposite... I'm saying it's unbelievable he couldn't stop Stevenson in that state
