Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson-Josh Warrington Unification Eyed For May 16

[Corelone]

My only beef with Warrington is, he won't leave home, but Shakur hollered on the tv that he'd go to the UK for Josh, so get on over there. What's the hold up?

[super-x]

Shakur last fight 10/26

Shakur next fight 5/16

^^ Should a 22 yrd old be out of the ring that long???

Shouldnt but warrington last boxed in oct also. Think the issue is they are making the fight in a football stadium and need to wait for the season to finish before its available for an event like this.

Always great to beat a Brits ass in England.

...or cry robbery/corruption if the decision doesn't go their way, which I'm almost sure would happen if this match-up plays out the way I imagine it.

Warrington's biggest issue is lack of stopping power, and he was having issues when Galahad was in the southpaw stance. However, he's one of the most tenacious fighters currently and has an engine to match. It's a bull vs. matador type of fight, and I don't think Shakur is gonna get the decision just by evading punches all night, especially in hostile territory. He's gonna have to tame the bull with sharp body punching.

Ok but Shakur can still fight on the January 18th Top Rank undercard , hell he can fight twice on Alverez undercard and on Fury/Wilder undercard going into this fight

I don't trust Warrington going to the USA. They're known for their corrupt scoring (Wilder Vs Fury, Canelo card vs Mayweather etc), fighters getting away with PED's (Jarrell Miller). Warrington will need a knockout to get a draw there.

Canelo isn't American and Jarrell Miller didn't get away with PEDs, he was caught and punished.

Also the draw in the Wilder vs Fury fight was a fair call considering that Fury was knocked down twice.

Give me a list of all these corrupt scorecards you clown? The US is where extreme corruption plays out all the time. You can't even go a fight card without at least one robbery. The biggest robberies in history come from your corrupt weasel shlthole.

Do you know that a fight happened in the US where a fighter did get a knockout but still only ended up getting a draw? Sergio Martinez vs Kermit Cintron. After knocking Cintron out the corrupt ref let him recover to continue the fight. Martinez went on the clearly beat him on points. But still as I say, only got the draw. So this in fact happened with you lot. It's actually not a joke to display how pathetic a country is to get a fair deal. It's the truth. You simpleton.

It still happened in the US. That's your corruption.

Fury clearly won. The vast majority know what the score is. Most in the US said so too. Even a bunch of the crazy and racist ones who only support black accepted Wilder lost. You should too. Delusion is no way to go. But hey, you're far too gone for that to matter.

Don't make me list a big mass of robberies from the US because i'll destroy you. You know how corrupt you are. Don't play games like you always do. It's boring having to spank you all the time. You'll never be a match for me. I'll always make you look really silly.

Miller didn't get any real ban because of how stinking it is over there. You're all cheats.

Our corruption is a non-American guy getting a favorable scorecard against an American megastar? Ok.

Fury didn't clearly win anything. He got knocked down in two separate rounds. That means two separate 10-8 rounds. I know you guys have rotten teeth but hopefully that doesn't stop you from being able to do basic math.

Miller was caught and didn't get away with anything. It's not like Dianabol was found in his system then just swept under the rug with no explanation as to why.

Josh does not strike me as a "high risk" proposition.

Of course , Tank needs to step up his comp.

It's very high risk for Stevenson just because Warrington is a giant step up in class of opposition. Stevensons very talented but his resume is still thin. And I highly doubt Warrington will be gun shy like that guy Stevenson beat for the belt. Classic clash of styles this one.

I think we have to agree to disagree.

Nothing in Warrington's resume tells me he is a GIANT step up in class.

For me its as simple as if Stevenson cannot beat Josh with EASE he needs to find another profession.

Josh is nothing special. Stevenson is boderline special.

Once you become a belt holder there is no going back.

Stevenson wants this fight. Lets hope it gets made.
