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

[El_Mero]

Was the weakest fight of the main card any way I couldn't care less about Shakur. Big ol delusional crybaby since he lost in the Olympics. Schofield fcuked up big time though.big ol dummy

I was looking forward to this fight. Floyd doesn't have the ring or event experience to really hang in there with Shakur but I'm willing to watch a guy step up if he truly wants it and see if he rises to the occasion. In the end this is only going to hurt Floyd Schofield. The Saud's aren't going to bank on him, GBP has egg on their face because of him, and unless Floyd can cough up some evidence of anything, he's the boy who cried wolf.

More then likely Floyd ate something, it didn't agree with his stomach, and gave him the runs.

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

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?

[landotter]

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.

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

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.

He pulled a sam goodman.

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

"...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...

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