12/12 ESPN: Shakur Stevenson vs Toka Kahn Clary / Felix Verdejo vs Masayoshi Nakatani

Wont happen for another 3 years. Ramirez lost his pro debut after Bob Arum hyped him up, and then as a result got thrown to the bushes.

Ramirez wasnt thrown to the bushes. Matter of fact he fought on the same card last night

By bushes I didnt mean dropped from the company, I mean they stopped pushing him like he was the next star like they did prior to his debut. Even Stevenson was pushing the idea of them fighting soon until he got whopped then it was silence from then on.

gotcha...yeah they are going to wait a while..shakur is on another level from him now and im sure when the fight happens it will take place at like 135 or somethin

time to get him in there with the big dawgs. i dont want to see anymore of this shiit

He ain't ready for somebody like Tank.

Shakur is talented but his fights are a bit laborious to sit thru

I don't think that's on him more than it's on the opponent.

They pulled up a stat that said hiss opponent lands 4.7 punches per round in him. That basically means the other guy is on the defensive most of the match. He needs to do in there with someone that's willing to open up and take some chances.

He is ready for Tank but Floyd would not sign off on that right now. Tank has a definite chance to win and KO Shakur, but don't get it f*cked up, Shakur can win that fight.

i think he is. at least it would be a fight. he hasnt been tested at all

Hmm I'd see how he does against someone like Tevin Farmer before I put him in with Tank.

so do you think farmer, then jojo, and then possibly tank?

 

[Born2BKing]

I can dig that. He needs a couple more fights at 130 before Tank imo. @patscorpio what you think?

i agree...let him go after some of the 130 champs and contenders..to see where he is

man Shakur will beat Tank ass, especially by the time they actually fight, he bigger and a better boxer,

Tank probably is he small, but he fat as fukk, I don't know if its his natural build or he just not discipline or what, he too small for 135, Stevenson looking like will be at welterweight before he's 30

Shakur needs to figure out a way to get these guys outta here so it's not going 12. Work on new setups/entries, punch selection, something so that he can force stoppages and each round doesn't look like a repeat of each other.

Verdejo is done

time to retire unless he wants to be used as a stepping stool

Surprised to see how many views this for already.
