WEEKEND ACTION AND PUNCHLINE STAFF PICKS FOR STEVENSON-JACK
April 19, 2024
Another great Saturday of boxing action. Starts in England with the Lee Selby vs Josh Worthington battle for the IBF Featherweight title. I like Worthington by decision. I know he’s the fighter we love to hate!
The WBC Featherweight title clash between Gary Russell Jr. and Joseph Diaz is an even odds fight. I think Diaz pulls off a close decision?
Then the big one, for the WBC Light Heavyweight crown betwen Adonis Stevenson and Badou Jack. I like Stevenson to pull our a razor thin decision… Here is the rest of Punchline’s staff picks for Stevenson Jack:
Kelly Pavlik- Badou Jack KO 5-6
James Dominquez- Badou Jack 9-10
Damon Martinez- Badou Jack
Amy Green- Badou Jack by decision
Alicia Taylor- Badou Jack (Also is picking Diaz by Decision)
Milan Davis- Badou Jack TKO-10
