Shakur is perhaps the most overrated fighter in the entire sport. He loses his next fight.

Please rewrite this response and substitute the name "Shakur" for "Zapeda" please. Much obliged sir!

On the balance of probability, Zapeda tries to make the fight exciting by throwing a lot of punches, Shakur slows it down, makes him miss, makes it boring and wins a decision without putting Zapeda down because he will not go for the kill. It is against his nature and safety first approach.

I finally gotta agree with you but I'm going to put in an addendum. If Shakur wants to be recognized on the same level as Tank then he has to go for the kill. He shouldn't worry about any return fire from Zapeda because that guy can't punch or fight. Zapeda can only embarrass no talent bum azz Mexican fighters who employ the same rock-em-sock-em style as him. Zapeda is an inferior fighter who can never truly beat an American boxer on top of his game. Shakur should make this fight PPVweather vs Gatti part II.

Shakur can't do anything to Zepeda with those Feather fist. All he can do is RUN with his new Rebook shoes.

Zepeda did get counter while throwing the jab, but did not get hurt. Shakur doesn't have power to hurt even a girl. The more someone throws the higher the chances of getting counter. The only one that can beat Zepeda is someone with power like Tank.

This idiot says "Zepeda did not get hurt" hahahahahahaa. Here let me explain: When a fighter gets hit in the head hard enough it causes his brain to crash around back and forth in his skull which can be as hard as granite. When the crashing around is severe enough it can cause certain communication pathways within the brain to shut down and cause unconsciousness. I.E. your brain cannot send signals to your legs to stay standing. THAT MEANS YOU'RE HURT YOU FUQKING IDIOT!!!

Zepeda looked like your average face first Mexican fighter with a zero chance to beat Shakur . Stevenson also comes in at Jr middleweight on fight night now which makes it even worse for Zepeda .

Does anyone besides myself notice the absence of that rabid Mexican fanbase? The silence is deafening! Where ya'll at??? All we heard from you all week was how Boots wasn't great because he beat a good fighter 22 rounds to 2 and managed to drop him but not Knock him out. But your boy Zapeda, who is supposed to be the second coming of the great JCC gets dropped and embarrassed and.....crickets??? C'mon maneeee. This aint like you. hahahaha

Zero chance that Shakur goes for the kill and does not worry about any return fire. In his last fight, against Artem I really thought he was going to do it. There were a few moments where I thought "OK he's got the guy hurt, he should pour it on now" but it never happened. He is just too scared to let his hands go just in case he gets clipped on the counter. Maybe the reason is too much sparring with Bud Crawford.

Was a really close fight, Zapeda did his usual Zapeda thing, Farmer was in great shape and came to fight. Would have loved to see 2 more rounds. Can't complain about the decision. Scorecards were honest and not too far apart.

Stevenson by UD or late stoppage.
