The only one that beats him for sure is Loma. I don't think he should rush into a Tank fight either. But everyone is young and developing, anything could happen.
the referee should have stopped Shakur from using is his right glove in front of Valdez face. Shakur used it throughout the fight. The referee just told him " don't do that" throughout the fight. And it wasn't until the 12th round that Shakur was warned. I noticed that when the referee told him not to do it, Valdez had a little more success in getting inside and delivering more punches. But then Shakur got back to it because that was an effective way to keep Valdez at bay. However, I think Valdez was not able to adjust and Shakur is the clear winner and the better boxer.
If Crawford can't teach him to throw a hook he'll never find that gear. He's great on the line, and usually wins his engagements, he just can't add power to his shots. Unluckily for him and us, he's small, so he won't be fighting Haney, Garcia, Teofimo. Maybe Tank tho.
Shakur didn’t look too bad against a tough customer in Conceicao. Looking forward to see how he looks at 135.
It baffles me wtf people are looking at when they asses talent. Shakur going through 135 like it ain’t no thang. Does shakur even get hit clean? Hit and not get hit. People have no idea about distance, range, and timing.
By far his most entertaining performance, although Yoshino’s limited one note style made Shakur shine. Still a great showing.
Shakur showed much better ability in the pocket than he did previously He's better at lightweight thats for sure
