    Shakur vs Martin on a Thursday night

    Jesus Christ. Top Rank/Arum honestly do it to themselves. A fight like this on a Thursday night where most people are working the next day lol?

    =low ticket sales and views.

    Shakur’s move to PBC looks imminent

    Not something to do with Thanksgiving? Or to mirror another sporting event to get some crossover viewers?

    I’m assuming ESPN picked that date for a specific reason.

      Although I admit that Stevenson has a great skill set. His style is not my cup of tea.

      Throw shots at me , call me a hater or even the scary " R word ".
      But nah.
      I'll wait until someone on here posts that Stevenson was in a Exciting fight.
      Then i'll watch the replay.

        It would get more views on a Thursday night on ESPN than a Saturday night on Showtime.

          Yoshino - 60% power punches landed, two KDS and a KO
          Conceiao - KD and stayed in the pocket enforcing the action all fight.

          Past two fights were very exciting. I don’t know you, but you may have some bias.

            Do you want a fight where boxers take one punch to land one ? Chin in the air brawl? If that's what you want you can find those in the beginning of almost every card or low level events, dont expect champions and contenders to be rock em sock em robots.

              The typical response.

              " You just want guys to stay in the pocket and take each others heads off ".

              Nah.
              My favorite active fighter is Inoue.
              Does he fall under that category ?

                I skipped the fight against the Japanese guy because my buddies from Japan told me it'd be a wash.

                The Conceicao fight was " very exciting " ?

                Sorry guy. But after reading that. You might be the one with some bias.

                I'll give you that one though.
                How about naming a couple more " very exciting " Stevenson fights ?

                Maybe I missed one and it'll change my opinion.

                  There's a huge car race in Las Vegas that week. They are gonna be racing all around The Strip. There are gonna be a TON of ppl in town & a TON of media. The fight is gonna get maximum attention with media & with casual fans happening on this Thursday. This was a great move by TR.

                    Once upon a time mid week fights were normality.

                    I look forward to it.
