Watching Valdez was so frustrating I fell asleep. I know a fighter like Stevenson is hard to hit, but why would you move so robotically, so slowly and without any urgency during the fight?
What is it with these fighters who forget about the body which is the only way (with feints, upper body movement) to get inside? Shakur isn't exactly a guy who gets on his bicycle.
He doesn't wanna get in there with Gutierrez. That ain't a showcase fight like that scrub Valdez. I can see him getting that Ogawa belt then Arum moving him up to 135 to protect his investment.
I think TR should schedule Stevenson vs. Navarette @ 130, sometime close to Haney vs. Kambo II, and if Shakur wins, he fights the winner @ 135! If they're gonne let Loma get a shot at the winner, then let Shakur fight Tank! I don't want to see Shakur fight Loma in a non-title fight!
Stevenson is HUGE for his weight class. You can see the stretch marks around his shoulders from years of weight fluctuation. And his overall structure is big. Espn asked him what he walks around at and he didn’t want to say.
If he can keep making weight without it affecting his performances he is going to be incredibly difficult to beat. Tremendous, elite level skills and legitimate size advantage over opponents.
i didn’t like the running at the end, I thought that was embarrassing. You’re a warrior and you’re an entertainer and you turn your back and start running around like a clown? Fight the whole dam round.
