Don't matter. Olympics or pros, getting hit in the face don't tickle. All these dudes criticizing probably never even been hit by mommy and daddy, let alone another grown man whose willing to truly hurt you. Most would probably fold after eating a jab or two, let along a big power shot from a hard puncher. Most "boxing fans" probably don't even know that the objective is to hit and don't get hit. There's a reason for "protect yourself at all times". Stevenson might not be the most entertaining, but he plays the name of the game to a T. If they wanna see fights, go hang out a bar with the local drunks. This is BOXING, not FIGHTING.

Thasnore Stevenson needs to step up the punch output and stop running. The kid has skills but he is the Melatonin of boxing!

If Shakur is the wonderful brilliant boxing artiste, the living embodiment of what REAL boxing is and everything else you say we boxing peasants are too uncouth to appreciate, you should be willing to pay top PPV dollar to watch him regardless of the opponent, right?

As a boxer I would totally get being the Dre Ward type who never shows your cards or says too much. He was never gonna be Mr popular, but there was a ton of stress & bs he never had to deal with that those guys who are trying to be everything to everybody deal with daily.Eff Pandas likes this.

The objective is to minimize as many of those "crappy W's" as possible, and the DLS fight wasn't his first one. If you have enough of those boring performances and the fans start thinking twice about investing their time/money/energy, the promoters/networks will notice and react accordingly. Shakur cannot rely on preferable matchmaking to help him look good; he's gonna have to try and entertain even with problematic opposition in front of him. As flawed as Teofimo is against out-boxers, he's still given some leeway while a guy like Martin/Ortiz is faulted for fighting too negatively.

Hey all this talk about live to fight another day how is that working out for him now? He is trying to prove himself with words about how he is going to prove himself as a fighter to watch.........This dislike for So sure is kinda a simple thing people like fights that have some excitement to them, taking chances giving it there all in the ring.......no disrespect but that last fight ****** and for good reasons..... Just keeping it real............
