Could see it going either way but wouldn't be surprised if Mikey dropped him hard
He was wide open for that shot and it's getting to the stage where size will make a difference as he's not big at 135

Yeah either way he's an exceptional talent and probably p4p #1 right now.
I don't understand why people are saying Mikey is too big when he just fought Linares at 135 who's bigger IMO.
Great fight it was
Thought draw was fair enough as Jack waited too long to pull the trigger
When he finally got going, he inflicted some serious physical hurt on Adonis and might've stopped him if his corner hadnt made the ridiculous call to stop going to the body
As we've seen with DeGale, that's the type of beating that effectively finishes careers

Yeah amazing fight.
Jack would've won if it weren't for that body shot Adonis landed in the 10th I think - Jack looked seriously hurt after that, I reckon it probably snapped a rib or something.
Stevenson can really crack, Jack started to go for the head in an attempt to finish him and left himself open
Should have just stayed with what was working
One thing that really surprised me was how much bigger Adonis looked
Badou was a really big SMW but was the much smaller man

Fight in the crowd looked more interesting
A ****show to say the least but always going to be a slow come back for Fury. Another 2 bums this year I suspect and then maybe someone not hopeless next Spring?
Agreed
Fast hands but no real power and porous defence
Will need to be very carefully matched as he is a ko waiting to happen

I see that Povetkin has been made mandatoru for AJ.
2 years ago this may have been a good fight, but after seeing Povetkin get dropped by someone as basic as David Price...I think it should be a rather easy KO for AJ. It wasn't just a freak punch either, he was actually landing the left hook quite regularly and even his jab was landing. Povetkin is clearly not as good off the juice.
Pretty sure this fight was always gonna happen after Hearn got him on the undercard. It's a nice name to have on your resume but not when we want to see undisputed.
I really hope they make the Wilder fight sooner rather than later.

He'd have a decent shot. I think all of Usyk, Gassiev and Briedis would be dangerous at heavyweight. It really depends on how they're able to deal with guys with significant reach advantages - Usyk has already proven he's capable of this when he beat the crap out of Joe Joyce in the amateurs, and Briedis sent Manuel Charr to sleep.
IMO Usyk would comfortably beat every heavyweight outside the top 10, and of course easily beat the likes of Tony Bellew and Dillian Whyte.

Well that'll be the end of Parker at the top table for a while. His defensive limitations really on show tonight, as was his inability to string telling combinations together. The fact that Whyte was out-jabbing him through basically all but the last couple of rounds is appauling, and I think at this point kiwi fans are going to have to accept that he's just not that good.
All 3 men in the ring were poor

How Parker could go from looking at complete ease in the first round to abandoning all aggression and decisiveness for 90% of the rest of the fight is beyond me. Any time he put it on Whyte he had him hurt, yet he just continued to lumber off the back foot getting totally outjabbed.
He also clearly has stamina issues.
Very poor showing.
