Comments Thread For: Joe Cordina on course for Shakur Stevenson after split from Tony Sims

[Oldskoolg]

Turki’s problem is that he has allowed Eddie Hearn to put a key in his back and wind him up and have him looking at boxing in a very European way

In the used car business its called a loss leader. They will sell a car at a loss to get customers on the lot. Eddy never settled for a one fight deal, and Shakur might have sealed his fate. He'll get more cream puffs and swell up, thats Eddy style, but this one is extra soft.

shakur got the entire sport shook, this is the only opponent who would actually accept a fight with him

Where'd you hear that about Zepeda and Shakur ?

I think it was Boxing News 24/7, last week. Zepeda said he wouldn’t be ready for the Bivol card. Turki wants Crawford vs. Ortiz, and Shakur vs. Zepeda on one card! Sounds great, and hope we get it!

Don't know how much this fight will cost. But feel like it would've been better to spend that amount on the Haney-Martin purse bid instead, as that's a much better fight.

Using the cash for toilet paper would have been better than making this mockery of the fans.

De Los Santos would be a bad choice but he is better than Cordina. De Los Santos KO’d Rayo, who just beat Pitbull. Cordina coming off a loss by KO! Anyway, supposedly Shakur will face Zepeda in February, on Crawford’s next event. Let’s hope that really happens!

Except he already "fought" De Los Santos, and I doubt anyone wants to watch that stinker again. Record set for fewest punches thrown in a championship event, and you want to give it another chance?

Everyone just wait for Beterbiev vs Bivol, Everything else is crap right now.

What an awful mismatch. Cordina was badly beaten up in his last fight and would be going up in weight.. why would Turki want to make this fight as it runs counter to everything he has talked about. This is such a bad match up, it must be fake news.

They're trying to make sure that Shakur gets a knockout . Rumor has it that there's a hydration and weight clause. Cordina is not allowed more than eight ounces of water daily for the week of the fight , and can only have a small can of tuna (in water) and a banana daily for ten days prior to the fight. Yep , that's the rumor. People are saying....
