“Over” bettors were overjoyed with the end of Tuesday night’s Stevenson-Caraballo bout. With an over/under of 5.5 rounds, Caraballo just made it past the over/under mark before getting TKO’d with an official time of 1:31. Replays showed that referee Tony Weeks actually waved it off a couple of seconds earlier so “under” bettors have a right to gripe. Oddsmakers nailed this one almost to the second.

This article doesn’t help the sport The fight was a fight went as expected. We are concerned about the sport of boxing and the talent and the rebound versus gambling odds. Can’t have one without the other I suppose but still…..
Boring, over matched opponent, this is what boxing doesn’t need another over hyped fighter!!
Stevenson has almost perfect Boxing skills and doesn’t have hardly any flaws to his game. He will suffer the same criticism as Floyd, RJJ, Crawford, etc. Making very good fighters look very easy. Stevenson is one of the few fighters with a sure chance to surpass Mayweather’s undefeated record. Doubt anyone figured this type of class would rise out of Newark. He’s untouchable!!!
