6/12 ESPN: Shakur Stevenson vs Jeremiah Nakathila / Jose Pedraza vs Julian Rodriguez

[KingOFKings]

The way Shakur fights, I highly question his chin. I think Valdez might knock him out.

Nah, he wants to be perfect. We’re not talking about Farmer here, his defense is legit, he literally did not want to take a chance this fight though which was odd

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

funny thing timmy wasn't entertaining to watch either

He wasn't but his fight against Ruslan Provodnikov was great but I'd imagine that it said more about Provodnikov.

 

[EBK String]

There is a reason Paulie Malignaggi is a punchline even though he had a respectable record. Nobody wants to watch 12 round ud's over and over.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Very good fighter, but he’s not the type of guy that casuals will like.

He’s not a talker and arrogant guy that you can get casuals to love to hate like a Mayweather or Broner.

He’s also not a guy throwing haymakers and brawling guys that makes for exciting fights and knockouts like a Deontay Wilder or Terrance Crawford.

so pretty much he is going to have a career of fighting on Casino boats

 

[shroommon]

even Top Rank top shill Timothy Bradley said he almost went to sleep .

ouch

 

[KingOFKings]

this my thing. These dudes fighting like this and still aint filled out yet, wtf they gonna do at the higher weight classes?

Shakur and Haney grew up watching Money May, and want to be perfect with the performance. It’s wonderful if you’re into pure boxing, yet I want to see his star grow.

 

[Apollo Creed]

@patscorpio We need Haney and Shakur on a card at the International Fade Center in Carson lmfao If the Fade Spirit dont take over them there throw em in the trash

Bad take

I'm not a casual...at all. He's just not impressing me

He doesn't like to get hit bro, Shakur does not have a huge speed advatange and definitely will have a disadvantage in power. I actually think Shakur could produce knockouts, but he has to let his hands go and be willing to get hit.

thats my thing Floyd fought like that later on after having a name. These dudes starting out like this now, wtf they going to do when they move up?

Floyd already told these young fighters to be like PBF not Money May. Clearly they didn't listen. That's why they won't even get half the fame that he got

 

[Omar Little]

I told yall Shakur looking better than Pretty Boy Floyd

 

[Apollo Creed]

we see the success the one who did listen is getting. Tank don't even really talk much

Floyd was way more entertaining making top pros look like amateurs. These guys are going the distance with guys who beginning pros pad their record on.

Yeah, that’s their style though. Maybe Shakur has more pop when he moves up, it’s rare yet it can happen.

The big punchers in and around this weight class are Tank, Teo and Ryan...which is also why they’re the most popular.
