7/6/24 ESPN: Shakur Stevenson vs Artem Harutyunyan (WBC Lightweight Title) / O'Shaquie Foster vs Robson Conceição (WBC Super Featherweight Title)

[Apollo Creed]

I never thought the ring would turn so casual …but some of the shyt being said in here is flat out stupid .

Shakur is trash ? He isn’t talented?
The fukk are y’all talking about


in terms of footwork,IQ, reflexes,accuracy,defensive positioning ..he’s ELITE in boxing . Top 5 p4p

lacking punching power is not a skill or talent issue ..you either have it or you don’t so saying he skill is lacking because of that is flat out stupid.


is he excitin or box office ? No. But lacking skills?

As far as skill is concerned the big flaw I see is that he’s not the greatest at cutting the ring off..which makes sense.



y’all sound like y’all get y’all boxing knowledge from YouTube nikkas that don’t know what they talking about themselves


Arum/ESPN is trying to bury that boy…you wouldn’t show those crowd shots if you weren’t ..

we need to dig up Bert Sugar and Emanuel steward for you nikkas

Aint none of that shyt you talking putting ass in seats

Right. I'm not a casual, and nobody in this thread who's word you take serious is doubting his skill/ability, but nikkaz being obtuse if they don't understand how even some of the most purist of boxing fans felt it was....boring. I'll say it this way, it felt more like a 2nd fight on a PPV card than a Main Event.

It didn't take away from me wanting to see him run it with Tank/Haney/Teo/Loma/Pitbull (who diiiiiiid duck Shakur btw)/etc, but to me he didn't ELEVATE his stock Saturday night. It was a workman like performance in a fight where the outcome was NID and that's where folks felt he would work more to get buddy up outta there.

I'd aim for the Zepeda fight if i'm Shakur

Right, You can love pure boxing all you want but at the end of the day it’s still a fight. If this is how you acting with a guy you clearly outclass in every way then I don’t want to see you again.

It's a deflection tactic. When nikkas know they can't defend the bullshyt they try to discredit you with the "casual" line which is idiotic being that 90% of the people in the arena are "casuals" thus if anything their opinion matters even more than the so called purist.

It is hilarious coli nikkas think everyone a casual when even pro boxers call this shyt out and big up dudes like Tank who they try make sound like he is Rolly or some shyt lol

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

Let me guess...he disappointed yet again?

 

[JamesJabdi]

Why shakur fans mad at other folks? Dudes in here talking all this "you don't know boxing" bullshyt....we just gonna act like Shakur didn't say he was gonna knock dude out and put on a show for the last 3 months?

Boxing is entertainment.....if you dudes don't like entertainment then turn your TV off and watch paint dry....like whats wrong with dudes

 

[patscorpio]

things i didnt expect to see on my twitter TL..shakur and marcus browne going at it .

 

[patscorpio]

punching power is whatever but solely it doesnt make you great unless youre are icing top level, p4p, or hof level cats consistently

shyt look at deontay wilder - man has 42 ko's in 43 wins..has and .is being put in convos he shouldn't be in regarding ATG heavies and HOF due to that...currently has won only 1 fight in his last 5 and has not won 2 fights in a row since 2019

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

zero accountability

 

[dh86]

Foster Davis and Shakur confused the fukk out of me by playing shyt so safe for a decision when none of them PPV fighters. What are they in it for? I’m glad Foster lost with the way he fought the second half
