Ariel Helwani(@arielhelwani):.@NewYorkRic completely reassesses Gable Steveson after his shocking loss to Sean Sharaf: "Honestly, the knockout is the least of what concerns me. It’s how he handled himself throughout fight week and how he handled himself afterward. When you get knocked out and you’re at your lowest moment, you have to be able to stand there, look that man in the face, shake his hand and say congratulations. I have really serious concerns about Gable’s long-term future. It’s not the knockout. It’s whether you’re mentally prepared for everything that’s about to come your way. I have completely adjusted my ceiling on him, no matter how good an athlete he is.”
