An awful fight

[KING S.O.G]

Skill for skill, Shakur is the best pound for pound fighter, period. He's level. above everyone.

A successor to Floyd Maweather Jr., Shakur is a pure genius defensively!

You can't beat what you can't hit, it's as simple as that! Stevenson never misses a single punch.

Like with jazz, the better and more sophisticated Stevenson is, the less popular he is.

Way too easy for Stevenson. I thought he'd win but it shouldn't have been that easy.

ATM, I can't see anyone beating Shakur in this or in the welterweight class.

Great work Shakur. Hey, props to Teo for accepting the challenge. I think he still can beat anybody else at 140 not named Shakur. Would love to see Shakur fight Dev now or Conor Benn.

I hate to say it but - Shakur was bigger, stronger, faster, smarter and levels above Teo. Teo looked so small and insignificant next to Shakur, he looked one weight division smaller. Unbelievable, that a fighter coming up in weight can be so much bigger and stronger. There was simply nothing Teo could do. Shakur was superior in every aspect of the game.

first time watching an entire Shakur fight

godly timing the best at it since Floyd

So, what? Body shots don't count anymore? Shakur won the first half of the fight, Teo took the second.

You don't win unanimously not throwing anything significant for nearly 6 rounds. Shakur had no defense or adjustment for the all those body shots he took keeping his elbows wide in high guard.

Compubox had Teo only landed 72 punches, aka 6 punches per every 3 minutes on average.

The fix was in for the in-house fighter worse than Kelly in England.

[boxing IQ]

Shakur clearly outboxed Teo early on, but stopped throwing when those body shots started wearing down. Teo is clearly the more athletic fighter and more suited to the weight class.

You knew the fix was in when the commentary did what they always do and collect their paychecks kissing a s s to the in-house fighter.

It's obvious. Everyone wants the next Floyd. Too bad Floyd would've never let someone repeatedly catch him with the same combination over and over and over again.
