Comments Thread For: Tapping The Brakes on Shakur Stevenson's Lightweight Hype

[Combat Talk Radio]

Who cares what he said?

Maybe the Joe Horn fight had some sort of special meaning for him.

As boxing observers we know he has better wins than Joe Horn

So you're calling Crawford a liar?

Shakur calling Lomachenko, Haney, Tank knowing they all have fights but he remains quiet when Jamaine Ortiz keeps wanting to fight him.

How can you fault him for calling out the top names? They all have fights coming up now as well. Quiet when it comes to Ortiz cmon man

[Tag, You're Hit]

I am SO SICK of Joe Tessitore slobbering over all the A-side fighters on ESPN/Top Rank cards. The Shakur Stevenson fight is just the most recent display of this. I get that these promotional companies and platforms want their broadcasters to hype up their fighters, but Joe is cringingly over the top. He sounds like he has snippets of their hair and fingernails in a box under his bed. CREEPY. Could somebody please tape a sock in his mouth?

The only limit, within reason, put on a fighter is the one he puts on himself.

Man, y'all trippin'.

I watched fight.

He got into the fight with MEN and the woman got inbetween the men and caught a stray.

BIG DIFFERENCE

That's not just randomly beating up some woman.

That's why we tell women to stay out of men's physical altercation

Joe Horn
Might as well be his 1st name.

Shakur being hyped to look like a "beast", but he's a fraud

But you did see dude on his hands and knees getting hit by Shakur, right? That's some pu$$y **** right there.

He doesn't have to be lying, just like Floyd doesn't have to be lying when he said Emanual Augustus was his toughest fight, when we saw him go to the wall with De La Hoya, Maidana, Castillo, and Pacquiao.

Sometimes guys have reasons beyond what we can see that's going on in their lives that make one fight tougher than another.

Have you ever been in a real fight?

On the streets?

Go for what you know, playa.

Pacquiao won 3 rounds at best with segments where he didn't even bother throwing.

Chino was fighting dirty with ineffective aggression.

Floyd had one arm against Castillo.

Oscar got washed for at least 7 rounds.

Burton? Floyd couldn't keep dude off him. Same with Jesus Chavez (like Chino, but fought clean).
