“Pillow fists doe” “weight bully”

lol now that he doesn’t fit the rhetoric. they’ll find different reasons to hate this kid. Loma fan-boys are a cancer to boxing

I like the stoppage. Guy was taking huge shots. Corner should have saved him before the 6th.

[Damn Wicked]

The stoppage was anticlimactic. How many fights have we seen in the last few days where one guy was dominating the early rounds, only to lose the second half of the fight and get beat up in the process???! You can see that they're coddling a possible star in the making. Even the broadcasting team was riding Shakur's nuts and all the fighters who are big potential money makers in the future. Boxing is corrupt...sometimes subtly and sometimes blatantly.

[TaurusJ27]

Awesome left Shakur has.

[CornerCutman]

Nah brother , he was taking big shots and not returning with anything
That’s a long night

You're entitled to your opinion, I respect that and I recognize punch resistance was fading and there wasn't much coming back but I disagree with you. From my perspective he was still putting forth an effort, he was willing to come forward. Was it better for his long-term health for the fight to be stopped? Sure, but realistically it's better for every boxer's long-term health not to fight. For the sake of the competition and the fight was he so hurt that he couldn't continue? I didn't think so, personally.

EDIT: What I will say is the corner should have stepped in to stop it and that'd have been fair, but not the referee

I didn't like that he kneed him in the head. Uncalled for. Changed my opinion of Keyshawn right there.

Didn’t change nothing, you’re always hating on undefeated American fighters. It comes with the territory… enjoy

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.)

Nobody is following you. As long as you continue to make false statements( boxer always beats brawler) I'll continue to shut it down. That's how that works here.

Shakur looked excellent. It was a solid first fight at 135. No reason for me to try diminishing that.

[messi807]

Stevenson looks filled out and like he has more power at 135

I thought he had power at 130 too. Hurt almost every guy he fought..but yeah probably stronger due to less weight to cut

[messi807]

Man what a shlt match up. And Bradley absolutely insufferable as always

He KO’d Nakhatani, how was it a shlt match up as a tune up?

[messi807]

Yoshino gave more of a valiant effort than tea time Valdez.

Shakur looked perfect. You can’t make this shyt up. Him vs either Tank, Garcia, Haney, Loma, all good fights

Let’s see who steps up. Zepeda would be a great fight nect.. or Ortiz. He school’s both imo
