    My boxing IQ and what I see in the fighters. Shakur is decent but nothing special and he looks soft to me, still a kid. Santos is a beast. Faster, more power and real skill. He is no Valdez lol.

      Your boxing IQ is verrry low. You think David Benevides is the greatest fighter that ever lived. Stevenson will beat Santos, easily.

        There’s one today, but agree they should’ve done one earlier when the fight was made to help promote as well.

            In his last fight looks like everything fell in place for Edwin. He laid back with hard counters and great timing against Adorno. He seems to have power with timing. Shakur never even got into second gear against Yoshino. Unless he gets reckless I expect Shakur to win.

              Looks like the Australian sports media is more in line with this Stevenson/De Los Santos fight event:

                    Not me bro. To me Stevenson just popped out of thin air getting massively overrated by Andre Ward the first time I saw him fight. I kept waiting for a worthy guy that would take off that shine. It was tiring to see him in showcase fights after another. At least, that's how I saw it. In the end, I blamed Arum for it.

                    But thanks for telling it how you see it. And it's obvious you don't see anything in De Los Santos. Meaning, you see a mismatched fight.

                    You made your prediction.

                    But I even smell an upset.
                    To be fair, P4P, I can't name any boxers more skilled than Shakur outside of maybe Ennis, Loma, Usyk, and Bivol. I think Shakur beats Spence, Canelo, Charlo, Crawford...etc if they were all in the same weightclass

                      Fighting is more than just pure 'skill' its a whole bunch of things together. All the skill in the world won't help you if you cant take pressure, big shots, or lack attributes. Shakur has no special fx imo just a good technical boxer. Santos brings much more to the table imo.
