    Rigondeaux never apologized and he has some good scraps, and everyone around his weight was running scared, and he was past his prime with over 400 amateur fights.

      He knows how to BS, he is a Harvard Lawyer and telling blowflies is the first thing they learn.

        The fight was HORRIBLE. That said, the saying “ I can whip you with one hand tied behind my back” was presented to us and no one was impressed. I was Shakur. I KNOW if you had two hands it would of been a totally dofferent fight. I could see DLS quit or get KO’d.

          If your man crush Floyd can empty out the arena vs Baldymir, then come back to some half way decent cherrypicks, then Stevenson can rebound fairly well

            Yeah, Stevenson has the legs to get out of range quickly but then he also can't counter after creating that gap between him and his opponent.

            DLS' underrated quickness coupled with experience caused Shakur to have a "bad night." He doesn't need to apologize to anyone. But unless his ring attitude matches his mouth, he'll never be a draw.

              You don't have to apologize for jack S!!!t!! You did what you had to do and won, and you did not allow your opponent to impose his game plan!

                Stevenson talked tough before the fight, during the weigh-in, while all along knowing that he wasn't fit to fight.
                That's just not going to well with most of the fan's who were anxiously anticipating to see a highly competitive fight.
                Don't be sorry Shakur, just don't ever fight that way ever again, it has hurt your brand, because I don't look forward to seeing any of your fights.
                If your going to talk the talk, you better be ready, willing, and able to back it up, otherwise keep your trap shut.

                  Shakur seem one of those skilled fighters that is just afraid of getting hit and knocked down/out. His stock plunged and now getting dissed on top. Clearly more than just a 'bad night'.

                    Idiot, Baldemere was 16lbs bigger and beat HOF fighters, I suggest you go look at his resume at the time and compare it to 16 fight Edwins, but that takes some knowledge on your part and you don't have any, 135 Pretty Boy stops Edwin.

                    gee Floyd fck ed you up fragile little fella, I didn't realise saying Arum is a BS merchant hit a nerve with you lol.

                      6,703 people in attendance, at $60/ticket is a little over $400k

                      Where are these millions coming from?

                      Boxing is money laundering, and little else..
