Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson-Floyd Schofield a 'done deal'

[MulaKO]

Props to Schofield, no doubt.

Shakur should have ideally picked someone else more experienced.

But let's see what the Kid can do...

Yes sir

Huge respect to Austin Schofield, but this is too much of a step up. Super talented, but that guy we saw last time out is not ready for Shakur Stevenson.

I agreed with you. However big pay day worth risk. Similar to Edgar fighting Canelo.

Schofield, from Austin, had by then already posted: “We got the contract… done deal.”

Exactly. The writer, who is a writer else why are we reading the article on a website, right? Anyway, the writer took a partial quote for his headline. This is not wrong or misused. I think chicken- needs to learn to read a little more carefully.

This "writer" should be fired. "Done deal" headline when it's absolutely not a done deal yet.

Yeah, but fired though?

It probably won't happen but I sure would enjoy it if young Mr. Schofield were to beat the brakes off of Shakur as payback from the fans for the snorefests that he's put us through.



WAR KID AUSTIN !

Shakur just said he needed to earn this shot with a different fight first. I will believe it when I see it.
Can't anyone just talk straight and tell the truth in boxing?

Nope. It's always half truths and prevarication when boxing people talk. Just coming out and saying anything directly is like sunlight to a vampire , like Superman and Kryptonite , like Batman and wasp spray.
. I've never heard so many people use so many words to say nothing.

Great matchup hot on the heels of Sheeraz-Williams, Ball-Ford & Benavidez-Morrell etc. Boxing NEEDS this kind of genuinely competitive matchups although I still favour Shakur to win based on experience plus his elusive style.

This is crazy

[Boxing 112]

Worst fight of the card. Why is Shakur fighting a prospect who has never been in the ring with anyone close to world level.

[hitmanjosh]

Shakur isn't exactly known for stopping guys. You think Kid Austin has a glass chin? Not even sure Shakur can crack glass.

Yep, and I’m usually right in the 40+ years I have been doing this on all levels myself.
