By Michael McKenzie – After a surprisingly modest stateside promotion, here we are on the eve of a crucial matchup that will have big implications in the post-Andre Ward era at Light Heavyweight. This fight had a short buildup from its announcement and has not gotten the kind of buzz that it deserves. Badou Jack is an ambitious workman who gets stronger as the fight goes on. Adonis Stevenson is a typically exciting southpaw puncher that can end it all at any moment. It is fair to expect that both men will come to fight in this one. Crowd pleasing action is practically guaranteed.
By Allan Fox: Adonis Stevenson is promising a one-punch knockout of challenger Badou Jack on Saturday night in their fight at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada. Stevenson (29-1, 24 KOs), who usually isn’t much of a trash talker, has suddenly been talking knockout ever since the fight was signed, and now he’s saying he’s going to KO the 34-year-old Jack (22-1-2, 13 KOs) with one punch on Saturday night.

By Scott Gilfoid: Badou Jack (22-1-2, 13 KOs) says he might under the right circumstances give his former foe James ‘Chunky’ DeGale (24-2-1, 14 KOs) a rematch in the future if he moves up to light heavyweight. However, Jack says he wasn’t impressed with the last two performances from the 32-year-old DeGale against Caleb Truax (29-4-2, 18 KOs), and he believes might not be the same he once was due to the hard fights he’s been in.
By Scott Gilfoid: Tony Bellew says he might be interested in a rematch with Adonis Stevenson if the fight took place at a catch-weight of 195 pounds in the cruiserweight division.
