Comments Thread For: De Los Santos On Stevenson: He's Scared Of My Power; The Only Way To Escape Is Running

[Muchen]

Shakur doesn’t run. He just knows how to swim without getting wet.

[STREET CLEANER]

De Los Santos trying to goat Stevenson to trade with him by saying that. I think this is an interesting fight and as long as Stevenson doesn't overlook De Los Santos I favor him to win.

Shakur should win. He is the more skilful boxer, but he was fighting at 126 not long ago so fighting a man like De Los Santos at 135 is going to be a challenge for him.

Bro, at the weigh in, shakur is clearly the bigger man. Win/lose for either fighter no excuse

Stevenson will put on a boxing clinic

Shakur is not going to be a sitting duck for Edwin's power like Rayo was. Shakur is sharper offensively and defensively than Rayo. I think Edwin will get frustrated because he's not consistently landing, and he'll start making mistakes. Edwin has only been 10 rounds once, so if Shakur can frustrate him enough in the first half, Edwin may start to gas out mentally in the second half.

Shakur is too much for most fighters at 135. Most people want to see Tank vs Shakur so let's see that fight soon.

Tanked can’t fight Shakur cause he’s busy doing his hair for the next 5 years.

That can be deceptive. See who is bigger on the night of the fight -- not at the weigh in.

Why not???

A few reasons, just to list a few:

1) If Dos Santos lands punches near or around the ears, these could ricochet off the headphones, causing serious injury;
2) Headphone use during the fight could impede Stevenson's ability to hear the referee or his corner's instructions;
3) If Dos Santos lands punches on the headphones, his gloves or hands could be damaged, disrupting the flow of the bout;
4) If Dos Santos does not land punches near or around the ears, the headphones could slip down around the neck of Stevenson, disrupting the fowl of the bout;
5) Successful headphone use on the part of Stevenson could result in a copycat effect. Soon more and more boxers will wear headphones, and boxing matches may shift from combat sports to a spectacle involving the vicarious pleasures of watching others listen to music.

These are just several of the reasons.
If you would like to hear more reasons, please
remove your headphones.

True, imma go on a hunch and say shakur will still look bigger. Regardless though, it don’t matter. Win lose or draw either way no excuses, it’s part of boxing you aren’t going to fight the same exactly sized man as you all the time if ever. No excuses either way
