[Apollo Creed]

Do you really speak Brazilian? There's a hook to a song I been dying to translate. Or at leask know the words to say

I`m in Brazil a ton but my Spanish is better honestly.

Top Rank literally gave him a shop-worn old champion that hasn't fought at 154 in over 3 years and Xander was confused on how to attack him

- Can't cut off the ring
- Can't punch without planting his feet
- Telegraphed punches
- Does not have 1 punch KO power, and unfortunately fights like he does

Sounds bad… Matias is really the best PR fighter by far.

Inuoe is a gangster. Bro pulled up watched 126 comp just for the intel

Once Inoue beats his azz within 6-7 rounds, they will say Shu Shu was a fraud and disown him like they did Stephan Fulton. Then it’s back to the same stuff: steroids, doesn’t fight in America, fights a bunch of nobodies, needs to fight Tank, etc.. same old routine ya know.

 

[TDUBB]

Shu needs to fight Ball, Ford, or Lopez. Would love it.

Rick be wrong as shyt about PBC but it be funny. But this is a load of shyte.

I know he’s only 21/22 years old but how long is the Xander Zayas “journey” supposed to be before it gets exciting or shows us he’s truly “next”?

Kid looks the part and all but it’s

Only casuals say this though, Fulton got a lot of skills and is quite fast. Inoue has just inhuman strength and power. I think it would be worse for Shu Shu to take two years to develop for that fight, but who knows, in two years he might be at 130. It's certainly not a fight they should rush him into

I feel like Nick Ball would put up a good challenge right now

Yes fight a champion or former champion in your weight class first. No more tomato cans with 3 days notice.

I think Carrington needs more time in the oven. I don’t believe the compubox. That dude landed more than 11% of his punches on Shu Shu (especially at the juncture where the announcers said he was landing 11%). Shu Shu seems to have a solid chin, though. Shu Shu needs to really learn how to establish the jab and then fight off that. Given his reach, it’s just going to make him even more dynamic but allow him to hide his power better and control his opponents more, as opposed to following them around the ring looking for a big shot. While he definitely has good power, he doesn’t have OMG kind of stopping power, so I want to see him round out technically before he starts fighting the best guys. I also feel like he has some “tells” when he’s going to throw certain punches on one watch, but I could be mistaken being I only watched the fight once.
