You are putting your expectations on him he’s never been that guy. Fighters tell their corners shyt all the time he prob felt that way in round whatever and couldn’t do it nothing wrong with that he still got a dominant win. This is boxing not ko fighting, there are other fighters that are great at that.

If you are expecting a guy w 21 wins and 10 kos to just start stopping people the problem is w you playboy :manny:


These "Boxing Fans" are full of shyt. Terence Crawford is currently on a 10+ Knockout streak and all of his fights are what someone would call exciting, and you still have people on here that say, "Man, Crawford don't sell, he's not a superstar, he's overrated"

Haney fell into that trap of being a listening to fans call him "boring fighter" and abandoned his gameplan to attempt to be more exciting against Ryan Garcia. Now everyone is making fun of Haney in the aftermath

I realized, when the herd doesn't like you, they'll find any reason to not like you. Shakur better realize this and do him

This extreme stanning im boxing annoying :snoop:

Ryan can do roids go on racist tirades dudes :manny:

The guy who is actually promoted at the ko specialist in Teo going a hard 12 w a jobber :manny:

Devin does literally nothing except get cheated by a guy who missed weight on 2 diff roids :pacspit:

Shakur boxes beautifully all night and barely gets touched and it’s :pacspit:

Shakur really just needs to take the route of "boo all you want I'm going to keep winning and boxing the shyt out of people, can't stop it too bad this is boxing. I'm going to make your fav fighter completely useless, keep booing"

And stop acting like he is coming for souls and shyt. thats not his game and its completely fine. well for me at least I appreciate what hes doing as the way he fought tonight is not fukking easy to do if you ever boxed at all. I still think he was a dumbass for not fight Haney though, that set him back years because its way easier to duck someone with only one belt


Boxing fans are tied with NBA fans as being the weirdest about their talent/players.

I knew not to pay to watch this in anyway :mjlol:

Not even worth fighting the bootleg ads


Ill watch it tomorrow when I’m getting ready for work, but sounded like the typical shytshow.

I been saying that Shakur needs to just stfu and fight… but buddy has ZERO power to hurt and back fighters up, potshots, doesnt engage, runs from hits instead of blocking, etc.

He gonna get the wins but no one is going to want to PAY to watch him fight and nobody wil want to fight someone not willing to even engage. It is what it is
Ay bruh, this shyt was on regular ass ESPN.

He did a great job the narrative going in was that he a runner, he was in the pocket cooking all night. He barely got touched and had the other guy on his bike. Since they can’t say he is a runner anymore it’s “he don’t get knockouts” like fam when has Shakur been that guy? :dwillhuh: would be like asking 147lber Floyd why he going 12 :heh:

Tank cleared the Haney/Shakur/Teo/Ryan field by a mile nikkas gotta stop puttin those mids in the same convos as him. Floyd know it too that why he released the full Tank and Haney sparring right after he slumped Martin when we was waitin years for that full footage :mjlol:

So Tank gets the field cleared by only fighting the worst one out of the group?

I know I may be old on here but what happened to clearing the field by actually fighting and beating these guys?

I just turned this on, what happened to Danny Jacobs?

He been :flabbynsick: for years now. He got a gift against bum ass Rosado in 2020. Then lost to mid ass John Ryder that fight coulda went either way though.... But this his 1st fight back in 2 years after he already looked cooked. He is done at that level.

I don't get ya'll. Two things can be true. Yes he should have knocked him out, but at the same time Shakur showed a masterclass and completely disarmed him. If he's "not elite" then let other fighters prove it in the ring then
My argument had nothing to do with his skill, or if he’s elite.

He’s courting Tank Davis and the other major money earners at 135. He needs casual fans to get interested to put pressure on the promotions to prioritize those fights. So when he doesn’t get a KO that he should have…. Then those PPV buyers are not going to be pressed to demand the fight.
