How is Shakur Stevenson's speed?

Both are the best at their weight. A great fight if it happens and it. could be a trilogy.

I did notice that Tanks counter straight left travels at warp speed so I have no idea how it can be avoided by a guy who doesn't move his head like Garcia. Shakur could avoid it.

 

he has the best timing and distance in the division and thats why i will take him over any fighter at 135

 

Shakur has a great jab. It's his range-finder. It's constantly teetering on the point of probing though which he's already been warned about. Not sure how it'd impact his game if refs went hard on it.

 

Shakur is quicker, more anthletic and smarter which is why I don’t think this fight will ever take place. At least not for a long time. Tank will avoid him like the plague and probably move to 140 before he fights Stevenson. Also, even though Stevenson is new to 135, he looks bigger than Tank. Davis will probably insist on another dehydration clause.

Stevenson is the smarter fighter, moves better, is longer and would give Tank major problems. Plus we have seen the best of Tank but Stevenson is young and still getting better with each fight. Prime Stevenson is going to be a beast. We will probably see Crawford Spence first fight and rematch before this one gets made. That’s my prediction.

 

Not sure why people think probing with a jab is a bad thing as long as you are being defensively responsible. A probe or a feint with a jab has a purpose to illicit a response from a fighter without leaving yourself open to a counter that a full committed jab might do.

Shakur often feints or probes the jab to see how his opponent reacts. See how their guard changes, see where they move their head etc. Usyk does the same exact thing. It's how both are able to land such clean shots, because they've read their opponent and then can control them by forcing responses they can predict and then land punches because they know how their opponent will react.

 

He is not quick enough to avoid a clean shot from Tank for 12 rounds

 

And it's surprising that some fighters don't do this.

 

You ain’t lying olu

 

Word.

 

That's true but who he beat really? The comp he been fighting are not top tier ..

 

Possibly Shakur looks to be da goods
However if I’m his promoter Da Bob Father
I’d like to see Shakur’s chin checked by somebody legit before throwing him in there with hit like a middleweight Tank.

 

Not bad, little gamey, could use a pinch of salt.

 

The top dogs at 135 will shed more light soon enough.
