Shakur is kind of an annoying brat but he looks to be the best out of the 135 bunch right now, he will take this by a clear decision too

Hopefully people underrate Frank and Frank puts on a good show.

nikkas is talking like Frank is Rolly Romero when Frank beats everyone Shakur has beaten (and can probably KO them) imo.

It's good to have belief in Frank Martin, but nah lol

Martin loses to Jamel Herring and Robson Conceição easily

When I spoke to Frank Martin back in July, he said he wanted any of the top guys in the lightweight divsion. Now he's fighting Shakur Stevenson. I don't think it's going to end up well for him but I salute him for taking the challenge.

Thats your podcast breh? And I agree, salute to him but it may not end so well for him.

easily? IDK about that

I think when we come across a once in a generation talent like Shakur, it's easy to downplay their opponents because they make it look so easy

Shakur shuts out Artem Harutyunyan 12-0 if they were to fight one another

I Feel Frank beats everyone Shakur has beat.

That said most will agree that the "cream of the crop" for this Generation is
Tank Shakur and Devin. I can see Frank being this generations "Shawn Porter" as he may become a champ, and gives everyone a tough fight just from being an elite athlete. But like I said before dudes are making Frank out to be Rolly Romero lol

I feel Tank beats everyone honestly, and there is a reason Shakur only talks about Tank with respect and none of that "I'll beat his ass" stuff lol. That said Shakur and Devin are only getting better, so I think Tank gets at them within then next yr or 2 and then probably retires.

Rolly Romero has a belt, show some respect :ufdup::troll:


But Robson Conceição who Shakur fought poses the same problems Artem gave to Frank Martin. So that fight is an L for Martin

Shakur showing respect to Tank means nothing. He just knows that he is a worthy opponent, similar to Crawford respecting Spence
Shakur beats both because he's a better Boxer and better at Defense than Haney. And that reach and height advantage would be a problem for Tank to deal with

I see Tank walking through Shakur. Shakur does not have the Power Bud does to even see things going that way. If Anything Shakur shows Tank TOO much respect lmfao Bud more so like "Spence is good and the best out of them all but I'm a different level".

Shakur does not sound like that what so ever when he talks about Tank lol. And Tank pretty much sounds like he knows he powers through Shakur and Devin because he doesn't respect their power what so ever.

For someone who "doesn't have power" he sure does cause alot of knockdowns and TKOs. Even still, it's not even Shakur's power that will be the factor, and it shows you haven't watched much of him. Shakur is a better defender than Crawford, and can get in the line of fire without getting hit as much. Plus his jab is very diverse as well. Shakur's reach advantage on top of his elite distance control will make it very difficult for Tank to get anything going

And Crawford for sure respects Spence. From thanking Spence countless times for making the fight, dapping each other up at the weigh in, saying Spence is "Down to earth and a family man". It's Charlo who he disrespects :mjgrin:
