Does Shakur Stevenson have enough pop to keep the top guys off?

    I think he has the pop but I realized that he isn’t as athletic as those guys up there. He has good feet when he’s being defensive but he isn’t able to translate that footwork into explosiveness.
    He will be a pick them apart guy but likely not stop many of his opponents. Loma isn’t a big puncher but can hang and stop guys with being great and explosive offensively. Not just throwing sharp and fast shots. As a southpaw he has to throw off the front foot more and not remain so balanced all the time. Loma, Pac, Tank are all southpaws that are able to jump forward into their shots. They are more risky fighters so you see the results.

        I believe he beats Valdez and Herring.

        Stevenson -Davis is 50 -50 fight.

          Davis will run all over him. 80/20. He'll get starched.
          I agree he can beat Herring. Not sure about Valdez, 50/50.

            My African bro that Shakur went life and death with isn't even a D class, and he only knew how to throw one punch.

                He'll beat the likes of Valdez easy enough, but i want to see him fight the real guys, Lopez, Davis, etc. It's too easy to make a resume look great by beating B/C guys, like Nonito has done, but I'd need to see him fight the A guys like I mentioned. I don't care about belts, or defences, I care about beating the very best guys, or even just facing them. I'd respect him far more losing a close fight to Davis, than beating Valdez, who I know he will beat very easily. Valdez went life and death with Scott Quigg ffs.

                  His pop is decent enough on the counter. I've got more issues with his inability to take risks.

                  He is frontfoot and leads with punches vs lower level guys, but it seems as soon as he fights someone who is quick to the punch and isnt too slow to catch him, he completely goes to safety first cruise control.

                  He probably beats a lot of guys doing that but then he cant complain about being called boring.

                    I doubt it man. I like Shakur but frankly I wasn’t able to get through his last performance without turning it on cartoons.

                    Same goes for Haney. I like the kid but it seems like he can’t crack an egg.

                    Just my opinions.

                      With tank, Stevenson decisions him easily. Lsc is a flat foot, feather fisted, face first fighter and even he was outboxing davis.
                      Honestly i dont think anyone beats him at 130. He'll boringly decision all of them
