Comments Thread For: Stevenson Overweight For Conceicao Fight; Could Lose WBC, WBO 130-Pound Belts At Scale

[Rayzah]

I can’t blame him for not going for the second attempt considering he probably struggle to get down to the current weight. however him not making weight and losing the belts on the scales after talking mad Sh#t leaves a bad taste in my mouth. making the weight should be the easy part, let’s bring back the same day weigh in and get rid of all the weight bullying.

scumbag should have informed the Brazilian days ago so he could not struggle making 2 pounds lower too. Shakur like to fight with an advantage. What a piece of **** and overrated bastard. nitramzaid@hotmail.com

Let’s go Brazil … avenge the woman Shakur beat

Shakur Stevenson definitely needs to learn about respect for women, before he winds up in jail, the hospital, or in the cemetery.

I'm not surprised. Since this fight was announced, I said it was a banana peel for Shakur. Being back home, having to deal with all that BS, it's a distraction. And sure enough, it showed today. Last time he had to strip to make weight. Not he's likely going to miss it. I don't see him losing the two pounds in an hour or even two hours, assuming he's been trying to pull it off on the treadmill and sauna already.

This is definitely going to be in the back of his mind and affect his performance. Who's betting on Robson for the upset now?

I highly doubt he can knock shakur out he is skillfully, even if he does manage to outbox shakur, there's no chance he gets the decision, he out boxed valdes and got no appreciation for his skills, boxing is currupt, he is the big draw

What is his incentive for caring about missing weight for this fight? He's moving up and won't be back. (I know it's money but how much?)
There needs to be a ranking penalty. If you come in overweight you go down 5 ranks as a penalty for example. Champ should lose the belt to the challenger win or lose automatic. Especially if hes declared he's leaving the division.

Did he have a second attempt?

Shakur didn't make weight, he was stripped of his title belt's. will have to pay a fine, but conceicao can still win the belt's if he defeats Shakur.

Very true. The judging how Top Rank cards lately, since the pandemic, has been way more suspect than usual. Absurd scoring for the favorite. Although Robson hits hard, he doesn't have that one punch KO power. He's a hard throwing, combination puncher. So I definitely agree.

If shakur moved up, he’ll be a 2 divisor champion. I like it. See hoe far he can go.

He already is a two 2 division world champion, 135 would be his 3rd division. We will see how he does against the bigger dogs.

Shakur looked lethargic yesterday talking to the media. He has the body type to really get big if he doesn’t keep it in check (mesomorph). I can see it impacting his performance but likely in a good way though.

He will realize early that he won’t have the power to hurt Robson. So look for him to fight on the backfoot and pop shot or step back jab all night.

Shakur, welcome to the very challenging 135lb division. His lack of power and lack of natural strength is going to be even more apparent now. Meaning, we may get to witness a lot of beautiful boxing but probably not as entertaining to the masses. Shakur is not going to be as great as he keeps trying to tell everyone he is going to be. Remember this post.

Good post.

These kids Shakur, Haney, Colbert, etc. want to be Money Mayweather, but forget that at their age Floyd was Pretty Boy.

Missing weight. Weight bully.
