With a full camp does Josh Padley do better against Shakur Stevenson?

    I am not saying that he would win but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.
    I reckon he would go the distance for sure he clearly won the first round and was firing back anytime Shakur tagged him. He got stopped more due to exhaustion. He would be sharper with a full camp and would not have taken so many clean shots early on. If he was match fit I really think he could've put it on Shakur down the stretch.

    Maybe, but he’s no where close to world level. He would’ve never gotten a title shot under normal circumstances.

    He should feel lucky to make $500k for one night of work. That’s five years of salary for an electrician.

    He was so outclassed I don’t know that it would have mattered.

    ALL credit to him though. Given the circumstances which he fought under, that was one of the greatest displays of warrior spirit ever shown in a ring. Sometimes, a losing effort can be incredible.
