    Shakur sports a decidedly pathetic and unmanly KO 45% and even worse he's a grunter, meaning that he's having to punch as hard as he's physical capable of to even get it that high

    His opponent is a spoiler who sports an incredibly feeble and wretched KO 26%

    This match up should be illegal, let alone feature on the ''greatest card of all time'' :facepalm:

    Tank has gone on record to say that he wouldn't have a problem fighting before Benavidez on a co main event. I'm almost certain that he wouldn't mind being on an undercard of one of Turki's mega events...

    Tank isn't fighting someone he can't drag up from a lower weight class or slap a rehydration clause on.

    I admit to being a tank fan, but I can't argue your points without looking silly or being proved wrong....

    i am not sure whats going on but the Schofields seem extremely delusional. First off, Shakur has fought opponents that are of a higher caliber than Schofield. so why would he be doing all this drug planting, drugging, setups etc etc etc. i will wait for the facts to come out, especially if any blood work was done at the hospital to see if anything was in Schofields system but even if it was, i suspect he'll cry 'SEE i told yall they had drugged me! or SET ME UP!'

    I seriously think people on this site just be saying sh** just to be saying sh**........ We get it, you don't like Shakur, but to over extend your love for a dude who has done NOTHING in this sport for the sake of discrediting the man you don't like is laughable.

    Schofield being the toughest opponent of Shakur's career...... Seriously?......Based on what. Valdez, Conceciao, Santos, Herring.......he's automatically tougher than those opponents, yet he hasn't fought any of those opponents or the opposition they have fought.....lol

    On that bill it was a co-main event. I think Shakur’s fight is a preliminary about 4 or 5 on the card down the bill.

    Yes, why go through all that effort just to duck ? It's completely asinine and he's the one who pushed for this fight, months of negotiations. He's never getting an opportunity like this any time soon, unless Shakur fights him after this. Maybe he can't make weight or ped cycle ? That's about all that's realistic

    On paper he might not be the toughest opponent but he is a young hungry fighter something Shakur has not fought as a pro guys like that can be very dangerous.

    Both Weight and PED issues sound more plausible than fear.....

    How the same people criticizing Shakur are the same people who are fans of Bivol, doesn’t make sense.
