Comments Thread For: Forget Tom and Jerry, the art of not getting hit must remain

The art of actually counting the body shots must be enforced. Zepeda deserved at keast a draw or a win. Just because Shakur threw a couple of combos that seemed flashy because of Zepeda´s straight, wet hair and because he didn´t run or hug, except in the last 2 rounds, doesn´t mean he was better than Zepeda. A rematch in Zepeda´s backyard i.e. Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Claifornia, etc. Would have a different outcome.

A lot of truth here.

If you in the fight game now, a little more punching and a lot less sweet science should be your focus if you looking for your next big check

Exactly...Shakur's stock just went up 1000% after THAT performance plus Turki's more likely to arrange a superfight against Tank or Teofimo now. Also, the fact that he's willing to trade will encourage those guys to accept the fight.

Move. Punch. Move is totally fine as boxing. Move. Move more. Give a glancing scared jab in between. Move again. Move further. Hit the skin of your opponent's body with a punch. Move and move again...is NOT fine as a boxing.

It is to hit your opponent and not get hit back that matters, not "don't hit your opponent but also don't get hit yourself as well" so to speak.

Let's hope it happens I am all for it. Something had to give

Turki is arrogant. Let him take some punches to the face!

Zepeda's loss was legit. No draw or robbery took place.

Old Turki is a cuck that just likes to watch the action

Don't forget that boxing isn't only a sport. It's a business and a product in the entertainment field. Fighters are free to fight however they want. Just don't complain about your purses when the consumers don't buy your product.
You can be defensive without being boring. Andre Ward was never boring. It's not the defense that bores me for example , it's the lack of offense. Your defense is supposed to put you in a position to " make em miss , and make em pay " , when there's no "make em pay" I find it boring.

Shakur's shoulder roll was on point! His accuracy was excellent! He just doesn't have power, and I'm not sure how he'll do at 140 or above, like Sweet Pea, and Floyd. That said he schooled Zepeda, and no one should be surprised. Shakur is levels above the current version of Tevin Farmer!
