Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Dominates, Drops, Stops Shuichiro Yoshino in Six

That should not been stopped. Drama comes with the fighter losing coming back either knockdown, hurting the other fighter etc. He was punching and not hurt.
Shakur looked great but you have to give the other fighter a chance.

That was a good performance by Shakur. But it also has to be said that styles make fights, and Yoshino's style was all wrong for Shakur. The boxer almost always beats the brawler. Still, it was a very good performance.

Shakur looked great and it was obviously a mismatch, but that's a terrible stoppage. They immediately start hyping that his power carried up in weight, but even with the two knockouts I'm not convinced he was really hurting Yoshino. Even if he had been, if Yoshino had made it 12 it'd have told us something about Shakur's power at 135. Lastly, the guy flies halfway around the globe to come to NJ to fight, let the man fight

I thought that was a very premature stoppage. The guy comes all the way across the world to have his opportunity cut short by a trigger happy ref.

This man travelled half way around the world to have an awful ref take his fight away from him! Do I believe he had a chance? Every fighter has a punchers chance but it wasn’t looking good for him. However you DONT take a fight away from a fighter

The boxer doesn't always beat the brawler. Nice backhanded compliment though lol.

What a moron. When did they outlaw moving to your left and digging to the body? These fights are won on the match-making. Set-up ****.

What are you talking about? You think that was a test for Shakur? lol Okay man. I changed it for you so that it says: "The boxer almost always beats the brawler." (And I hope you aren't going to be following me around now.)
