oh you KNOOOOOW why

2016 2017 giving us great boxing. The amount of top level matches that need rematches because they were so close
Ward-Kovalev
Jack-Degale
Cuadras-Gonzalez
Porter-Thurman
Frampton-Santa Cruz

All of these would be dope runbacks

I think we only get Ward-KKK rematch and everything else on your wish list (obviously Framp - LSC happening) goes by the wayside

Nah I said the first one and you replied with the one starting with you bookmarking my post for Sunday morning

Jack clearly proved me that he is jut as skilled as DeGale. Better inside work, constant bodywork, good rangy jab, pretty solid defense, nice uppercuts and overhand rights.

DeGale showed nice footwork and threw flashy combos from the pocket but most of them landed on gloves/arms, I most definitely didn't see that skill gap everyone was talking about before the fight DeGale definitely didn't look like the talented unorganized genius vs a had working average guy

More people think Jack won and this time rightfully so
a draw might be justifiable imo a DeGale win not really, I had it for Jack

I just want to see a rematch...too bad Jack don't want to run it back.

Can't blame him though, he already said before the fight that after this he's gonna go 175 and this is his last time at 168, they didn't just come up with that after the fight
If he goes up he just keeps his word.
He said he is open to run it back in 175 though.
I would also like to see a rematch of course.

I know man
Jack is likely moving up. Cuadras Gonzalez is taking forever to set up.Porter is in development hell

imo if Cuadras vs Roman won't happen this year that probably means that Estrada vs Roman II or Roma vs Inoue will happen so I'm not mad, those are arguably even better

Jack vs Degale probably won't happen, maybe in 175 but I don't think

Instead of Thurman vs Porter II we get Thurman vs Danny now and if Thurman wins that I suspect him fighting either Porter again later this year or Spence if he gets the IBF belt. So that's also a nice script.

 

[reservoirdogs]

What are your thoughts on Jack vs 175 guys?

Who are the highest level fighters there who he has a good shot against?

I think he can't beat Kovalev, Ward or Beterbiev but I think he has a chance against others even against Stevenson but there he would be a quite big underdog.
Well... of course it also depends o how his physical power will carry to lhw...

Damn I was thinking about Estrada. That match had people disputing the decision.

Yeah idk. I also wonder how his chin will hold up there. I think he showed the people that doubted him that it is stronger than thought of but LHW got some killers up there. I also wonder about Bute going up.

loses against:

Ward
KKK
Beterbeast

off rip

and I think I wouldn't pick em against Stevenson, Common Joe, Alvaerz, or Cleverly. He should seek out Sullivan Barrera in his first 175 fight

I'd pick him against Cleverley and maybe Eleider Alvarez too, I don't see those guy that high level...

I'd like to see Jack vs Barrera, Joe Smith ad Fonfara
Those should be competitive, good fights imo even if he would lose to them

I wonder how he does against Bivol Gvozdyk. I do know I wanna see him in a war with Cleverly.

yep, hopefully he doesn't take on too many soft touches getting used to 175. You right, Fonfara and Jack shouldn't be a hard scrap to make
