Shakur is boring and that's just what it is.

[Donnie Herrera]

I have it on good authority that he is packing some serious glass, supposedly he's been put over quite a few times in sparring during exchanges so he fights a cautious, low risk style which is the effective and sensible thing to do to be honest.

so he’s klitshko without the power, instead of grabbin’ he runs when hurt…

[brettWall]

Arum protected him too much and invested a lot of money on him. Even Berchelt never got to test that investment.

And even before the talk of Oscar Valdez was in the air, the Bobfather was proposing preliminary fights like staging Valdez vs Navarette winner vs the winner of Stevenson vs Berchelt, who Valdez already KO'd. See how protective the Bobfather was to him? Valdez was getting the harder fight in the interim. It never happened. I don't know the reason.

lol Floyd was the most accurate striker in history

to me the ugliest fooking style is a sloppy guy who misses a lot and rarely lands cleanly but throws a lot

Shawn Porter

or a super negative style that cancels out fighting

Sergio Mora

Shakur is alright. He’s accurate, throws combinations, fights inside, and slique

I'll take the sloppiest Porter fight over Stevensons style any day.

Does that makeme a " Casual " ?

Shakur could have fought Josh Warrington but didn't. It would have raised his profile. That's not on Bob either. Madueno is Jezreel Corrales leftovers and wasn't really a good opponent for either.

When? I heard nothing about that. Still, that isn’t Valdez and Loma. Warrington after them would be fine.

Doesn’t matter who he fought before. This is about boring. If Bob matches him properly that isn’t an issue. He surely wasn’t boring against Valdez.

[The Big Dunn]

Lol buddy have you not watched Shakurs fights? You put a guy who comes forward and he will run away.. lol Guy just has ZERO power and ZERO dawg in him.

Yes I have. He wasn’t boring in dominating Valdez.

All of you have valid points. My point is Bob’s job is to put him in with people to make him look good, and not bad, as he has done before.

Lol He's fighting guys that he's suppose to finish and look good. That's how you create hype and lure the top fighters too. This isn't the amateurs.

Listen, there's no denying Shakurs defense and his ability to score points but yall need to stop getting defensive when fans calls him boring. He can't punch, him and Haney hit like little kids. They can't hurt a fly with them punches. And he has no killer instinct. It sucks that wasn't gifted in that. People pay to entertained and he's not entertaining period

[Pac=Duran]

I haven't once watched Shakur Fight so I can't say anything here. Only a few twitter clips

Maybe that's a sign of how boring he is: Im not even tempted to watch highlight reels on YT

True. One way to look at it. The other way is he is an extremely talented guy that should be in with other talents.

Responding to your post isn’t getting defensive. I am asking his promoter do the job for him as he has done for others he promotes.

He Sure did hurt Valdez and was entertaining. Again matchmaking. Put him in with Loma. He likely gets an accumulation KO.

Entertainment can be manufactured by the promoter. That was my point about the guy Davis fought last night.

Switch the opponents up for Davis and Shakur and we’d have had 2 straight hours of entertainment rather than a sh-tshow and a sleep inducer.

I consider myself a casual also

cannot be bothered to keep up with boxing every weekend

anyways clean punching is money

[Dakuwaqa]

Didn’t catch the fight. Was it that bad?
