It looked like he had a pulled labia.

Something definitely seemed off. Shakur usually fires back with some insane combinations after making his opponents miss, but nothing. Probably didn't want to risk losing the chance for a major title.

Naw f%% all that BS, you can't parade around like your Sugar Ray Leonard, constantly and loudly disrespecting more accomplished fighters that have much bigger commercial appeal, and then make any type of excuse at all. Shakur is super talented, but he has a boring style, isn't marketable, yet runs his mouth like he is some type of electrifying knockout artist. He is a wonderful talent, but he clearly is not an appealing draw to boxing fans, and now the big guns have NO reason to fight him. Welcome to the Bermuda Triangle buddy.

He obviously had a shoulder injury. Bad timing with the fight being at 1am on a Thursday.

Arum is right. You can't overtrain just because you like the gym. Shakur will obviously learn from this and look better next fight.

The Hater's Ball is going full force at his expense though. LOL.
