no, just saying ive heard more about shakur stevenson in this olympics than the rest of the other amateurs combined, and most of you lot are crowning him as the next king of the world already.

I just hope it brought more fight fans into the fold. More fight fans = more fights!

As for crowning him anything, anyone who's watched more than ten fights should know that's silly. Nobodies even seen what kind of chin this kid has in an eight rounder. Fools will be fools.

Shakur has the better pro style and will beat that kid in a pro fight. His defense and ability to make fighters miss and only get hit with glancing blows will serve him in the pro game.

He better stay away from Joesph Diaz and Oscar Valdez

Pretty much a perfect reaction from Stevenson.

He recognises that he lost, that means he isnt blind to things he did wrong, which means he will hopefully learn from mistakes. But he is also upset that he lost, like he should be. No room for that Victor Ortiz mentality in top level sports.

No crying in boxing

The extremely emotional man...]

You can act like a man (Godfather). I understand a first defeat can be painful, but for God’s sake, you are representing the United States of America. Get a grip.

I love how people are throwing **** on a 19 year old for not conforming himself with AN OLYMPIC SILVER MEDAL, that he won by going second to the reigning olympic champion, he trained his whole life for this, anyone here has trained his all life for something?, i doubt it, there is nothing to be ashamed of, he lost to the better man, but you can't blame him for being tough with himself, that shows you what a winner mentality is on him.

America is the land of pimps,hoe's and bums ....no wonder they can't win a boxing gold medal anymore

he threw tantrum at the end. man i understand he lost the gold medal but come on, that was cringeworthy

Yeah but he's still a kid and imagine your whole life you've worked so hard for the Gold and came so close it's going to be heartbreaking
