10/23 ESPN: Jamel Herring vs Shakur Stevenson (WBO Super Featherweight Title)

[krackdagawd]

Stop juelzing breh.

Ain't nobody ever said he can't fight or he isn't skilled. We chastised him for being B-O-R-I-N-G-!-!-! and tonight he was anything but that. Kudos to him but he's never come out with this kind of fire. His last few fights, he should have been wearing cross trainers with the way he was retreating. If he fights like this going forward, no one will be able to say a word.

Not saying you specifically but its funny how that word "boring" gets tossed around from media/fans to fighters that look a certain way.

The media will be the media but when the announcers are doing it shyt is their job is to educate the adudience on what the "boring" fighter is doing and why the opp cant do anything about it. That would require a more than surface level of conversation but ythe announce team too busy focused on micheal b jordan or whatever.

You're a year late, he's dating some broad in music now

I literally said he boxes Valdez ears off and you talking about loving spanish cacs, take your dumbass to bed and try to do better tomorrow

Like I said

 

[alpo]

First time Ive seen breh fight why did he have haters? This nikka has transcendent ability

Because he’s black

It sucks that it wasn't more competitive but Shakur is super talented.

 

[Flight]

Shakur is a star man…

 

[EBK String]

I dont like Shakur's fake tough guy bravado trying to snatch belts and all that other goofy shyt. I want to see how he holds up when he meets a real challenge and gets brought into deep waters.

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

We may see a rare stoppage tonight.

Jack Johnson - boring
Floyd Mayweather - boring
Pernell Whitaker - boring and just runs away


Shakur ?
Exactly. The point.

Part of being a boxing fan for some is participating in black anti-intellectualism. “These nights thinking too much”. They only say this to us.

fukk Tim Bradley

Watched the fight till like the 6th then went to sleep... and tbh i wasnt a fan of Shakur but he put in WORK. It was too easy he made Herring look like a bum. The opposite of boring if anything he looked elite sharp and quick. Im looking forward to his next.

edit: Some of yall gotta relax. Nikka aint gon always like certain boxers off the rip..u was rocking wit son since the beginning?? Cool heres a cookie sometimes it take time for fans to come around thats how you build. You either like him or you don't draw a line ass nikkas duurrrppp shut the fukk UP

Guess Sugar Ray Leonard was boring for boxing up Duran in the 2nd fight...you know what the game is. Lol.

Well he has to move up for that..130 isn't it. We all know he can't treat Haney or Tank like that. He's very sound defensively though..so he is a legit problem for anybody in those two weight classes.

 

[krackdagawd]

gave him some of that Ward Barrera sauce

BRICK CITY.

Racism in Boxing is deeply engrained … I get what dude is saying. When it comes to Loma it’s “aw man, the fans need to know how GREAT HE IS. Look at the footwork! Did you see that?! How he controls Toyota Corolla’s lead hand?! Watch that again fans you’re watching a boxing savant who may be greater than that nig… guy Floyd Mayweather who’s probably watching this fight scared to come out of retirement to fight him”

They do the shyt all the time. Young black fighter with skills and boxes smart. “I mean he has the speed advantage, and he’s clearly physically stronger he needs to knock this guy out. Stop all that boxing shyt ! Why is he waiting for this guy?”

They are inconsistent in how the talk about Black fighters. Even when Loma was fighting Teo … “aw man he’s downloading and processing. Loma is sending that information from those punches to the bank. He’s faxing that right hand info to his trainer and he’s going to make the adjustment! We’re 6 rounds in and he’s thrown 10 punches and only gotten hit by 60, but he’s winning this fight with his composure and downloading and processing.”
