I noticed in the 3rd round that Shakur was a one handed fighter. Why in the fook didn’t DLS step on the accelerator??? Why was he STILL timid throughout the fight? Why would any man be afraid of ANY one handed fighter?? I’m fckn OLD and I would have preferred to die of a heart attack before letting Shakur win on points cause that’s the ONLY way he could win and that’s exactly what happened.
DLS blew a HUGE, EASY OPPORTUNITY. He could have pressured 12 rounds and the judges may have given him the fight but if not the fans would have loved him. He had 2 healthy hands and was just as athletic, fast and even MORE powerful than Shakur. What a waste of an opportunity.
At least he clearly admits he was scared now. What a way to almost guarantee there won't be any PPV in his future, admitting to being afraid of another man and having a boring style. He is the complete opposite of fighters like Crawford, Usyk, Davis, Inoue, Bivol, and many others in the top 10 / top 20. He is going to have to become more active and aggressive to change the stigma he put on himself.

Just overly cautious didn't wanna get counted by shakur so he was happy to sit back and be low volume. Think he only landed something like 40 punches. Bad style match up for both really.. but also some guys just don't have it in them to go to that next gear when there under the lights and we saw that with Santos
