Comments Thread For: Report: Floyd Schofield off Riyadh card; Shakur Stevenson?s side issues warning on poisoning claim

Gonna be pretty hard to find a replacement on 4 days notice. The flight alone to saudi is like 15+ hrs. Unless they got a back up lightweight from the prelims that they can use

Damn this sucks was looking forward to this… hope the Shakur fights gets knocked back towards the start of the card now. Was he looking average in sparring leading up to the fight and his team advised him not to make weight and claim illness argh seems shady.

Boots Norman and Schofield look like the 3 unwise ducks right now

"...claimed that a masseuse associated with Stevenson’s team had wiped a cream on my son.” Was it the same kind of steroid cream the tennis player Sinner used on his finger? Hmm...

Great, they're going to get an ever easier walk on the park for Stevenson on the phone.

He pulled a sam goodman.

Why is the bbboc overseeing the weights and all in Saudi?

Also is like the British version of the wbc doing 30 and 15 day weigh ins before the official weigh in?

Umm because Saudi is one of the greatest nations on planet earth. Without them, we wouldn’t be getting the fights we’re getting.

Don't want to see Shakur Stevenson fight a unknown journeyman, specially if it interferes and gets in between quality fights.

I know right. Shakur was about to UD the hell out of him, he might not have survived such a tedious points loss.

This.... This is how you do it. Low key sarcasm wrapped in truth. My choice for Post of the Month.

I mean they would have to have back up plans for this big of a PPV card, right? A back up of some kind on a low retainer at every weight class?

I mean.... right?
