    Adam Azim , is faster , longer reach , bigger in the ring , fast feet , straight punches straight down the middle to keep Shakur moving back , Adam too fast he will try to land and be out before Shakur can react while he slight off balance moving back , Teo was off balance trying to catch Shakur and kept getting caught while coming in, Adam also has good reflexes for defence..

    Adam is not reckless and takes his time , great fast 1 2's and keeps changing angles and keeps probing..

    Similar reason Floyd Jr didn't fight Amir Khan was due to his straight punching style with fast hands would of been a difficult style to fight ..

    Adam only still 23 and needs to win a world title at 140 first , but love to see this fight 2027 ...

    Adam will target Hitchins this year for his IBF title

    Teo seem slower last night , that was suprising , maybe he tight at 140 now .. don't think he will fight at 140 again .. time to move to 147..

    Shakur could beat Smith and Azim back-to-back on the same night. Azim does absolutely nothing that would trouble Shakur, completely different levels.

    The more accurate statement is that Shakur Stevenson is not the only fighter that can beat Adam Azim at 140.

    I would love to see it

    I want to see Shakur Stevenson fight Azim, Dalton Smith, Hitchins, Murtalla, Andy Cruz etc

    140 division is full of talent

    He’s solid, athletic and speed but Shakur would pick him apart.

    Skills make the difference
    Physical attributes only matter so far

    Khan was never faster than pbf just like teo was never faster than shakur. Only boxing novices think things like this.

    I like Azim but his career is still in it's infancy; beating a shot Lipinets or Ohara Davies is not an indication that he can beat a P4P fighter. He should be left to develop at a reasonable pace without undue expectations being foist upon him.

    I actually think Hitchins has a better chance due to his dimensions.
