11/16 ESPN: Shakur Stevenson vs Edwin De Los Santos (vacant WBC 135 Title) / Emanuel Navarrete vs Robson Conceicao (WBO 130 Title)

You gotta be in the line of fire to throw counter shots

Yup. There's a big difference between fighting defensively and setting up counter shots and just refusing to engage and staying as far out of harm's way as possible. Last night Shakur did the latter and did just enough to win the rounds without having to fight.

Makes an excuse then say no excuses kur

He could have just said "It wasn't my best performance" and k.i.m.

 

[patscorpio]

nikkas gotta learn how to read the room, Shakur fight was hotdog water but he's the last person that should be saying anything

pretty much

@<<TheStandard>> graciously let us know what time it was with Martin...but with Martin the optics are still he accepted and then reneged on the fight..thats no good...Devin Haney can talk his shyt because even as negotiations fell apart, he is in another high profile fight with another world champion at a higher weight..thats cool...Martin doesnt even have a fight scheduled to talk about and it better be someone of real notoriety on who he faces next.

I said the same thing last night. Dude was looking mad Rigo-ish in there last night but I also think something was wrong. His last few fights had been fire.

Max Kellerman was probably somewhere tryna not to bust a load probably. He loves these kinda fights.

I think he felt some of that power & didn't wanna open himself up to get clipped. He was in the ring with someone just as athletic (if not more) & Ghost looked a little quicker on the trigger than him

i can def see TR putting more of the machine behind navarrete for sure in 2024 as long as navarrete keeps his mind on business

Yeah against someone who matches his physical gifts hes always looked super gunshy

Hes about to be froze out even more now with a belt thats wild. Its really no incentive to fight him cuz he either going to box ur head off if you a plodding fighter or simply not engage if u as wuick as him. No one wnts to sign up for a stinker of a fight lol

 

[Jerz]

That was embarrassing last night. But I bet you Haney, Frank, etc still won't get in the ring wit Shakur

Expecting a passive aggressive Tank tweet about this fight (that will be deleted 30 seconds later) in 3...2...1...

Right on the money

I don't know if I would do that. I see another lost for him coming real soon. He was talking about running it back with Conceicao and I think he could probably lose.

 

[aceboon]

lol @ posting the Baldomir fight, that nikka must have been lurking here last night

 

[patscorpio]

edit - man deleted the tweet

This is what casuals acted like Floyd Mayweather was during the Money Mayweather days. This guy is too young to be this cautious

not a single pull-counter was thrown that night

Yeah... I'm a fan but it's hard to defend that performance.
