114-114

Okay, clearly I was in a bad mood last night, and let my hatred of Shakur get the best of me. That being said, it still wasn't a one sided schooling most of you made it out to be, or should I say, convince yourselves of? Sure, the fight could be scored 115-113 maybe 116-112 if generous Stevenson. But any wider than that, stretches credibility. There were two 50/50 type rounds, the 1st and 7th. The rest are pretty easy to score. Most of you guys need to process, body shots count, and jabs to the face do as well, and Zeped a was landing plenty of them. They aren't somehow negated by the power of Shakur's rat faced smiles.

 

Also I stand by my pre-fight assessment from a few months back, even against last night's version of Stevenson. Schofield brutally knocks his ass out. The speed, accuracy and the unpredictability of the rhythm of Floyd is the stuff of Shakur's nightmares.

 

Landing 272 punches on Shakur, more than anyone has ever landed on him before. Outlanding him in five rounds. Is the definition of doing ****. It's a pity that you didn't notice even what insanely corrupt Compubox did.

 

Compubox doesn't count non-scoring shots. He was landing clean far more than you're giving him credit for. I've seen it twice now, and was paying super close attention to what was landing clean and what wasn't.

 

Yep, it was in round three. He stunned him again in round eight as well.
