Damn, maybe Shakur hits harder than we think?

DId this retard just say "hi daddy" to his kid?

He knocked this guy so silly he apologized for slavery lmao

Surely Conor Benn knows how to step around a southpaw and step with his punches by stepping over the lead foot right? Or all these fighters nowadays that bad?

Also Lopez has never had any straight punches. Not jabs or straight rights.

Teo is from Honduras

>>153231572
Teo is Honduran. Real Latin boxers are Boricuas like Shakino

Shakur has to either dominate (and become undisputed) like Roy Jones or start entertaining like Pernell Whittaker, very talented but I'll be disappointed if he takes the easy/soulless route like Mayweather

>this is truly a black man sport
Only in the US.

Smith, Matias, Azim at 140 or Noakes at 135. Too bad the bad ass east europeans don’t come in dwarf size.

One reason i hate watching black boxers is they run a lot. They refuse to openly box and use that same olympic style boxing that Mayweather introduced to pro boxing. I get it you are fighting at a low weight and are slippery but why is your running bitch strategy even a thing. Fuck that i want a fucking prize fight with gloves flying, not some faggot ass run fest. If im a fighter ill never take on a black guy cause that is just a recipe for running

Looks like the Puerto Ricans redeemed themselves after Dalton Smith embarrassing them.

To be fair, Mayweather also let guys corner him and unload their best stuff repeatedly until he figured out the counters.

>>153231570
They look the same to me.
shakur's trainer: Wali Moses
Tank's trainer: Calvin Ford

I guess the black guy in jake paul's corner was a different guy also.

>>153231635
Lets not start sucking off shakur. Teo lost to Martin, Ortiz, and Kambosos. To say shakur beats Mayweather easily is a stupid statement

>>153231654
He's right though, Mayweather has openly admitted to cherrypicking his whole career.
That's why his best win is beating Cotto after Pacquiao already demolished him.

>>153231635
No. Mayweather has longer punches and is better is every way.

>>153231635
shakur couldn’t beat a fighter his own size and frame buddy, floyd fought giants

>Mexican sucks at boxing
this nigga doesnt even recognize mejican style

>>153231667
>floyd fought giants
There's an interview with him on pound4pound.com where he says "I'm always the bigger fighter in my fights"
I'm old enough to remember people being surprised when he and Pacquiao were finally in the ring together.

>>153231585
>>153231589
Fuck off he's not Honduran he's from New York. He grew up and trained there and Hondurans only claim him because they're desperate for a win they'll cling onto any somewhat successful diaspora just to get one win on the board

>>153231663
Mayweather has a hall of fame resume, has proven himself against every kind of style, comparing Shakur at present to beating Mayweather is just silly.

Shakur is going to be undefeated for a while because it seems that nobody currently knows how to deal with an elite southpaw

>>153231666
>>153231721
What styles make Floyd better than Shakur?

>>153231721
>Mayweather has a hall of fame resume
Kek. He has a hall of fame list of opponents he ducked and not much else.
Every big win has a huge asterisk next to it.
>comparing Shakur at present to beating Mayweather is just silly.
Probably premature but I think it's fair.
Worth mentioning that Shakur doesn't fight as dirty as Mayweather either, I think he's the better all-round boxer but would love to see him against a much taller opponent (so he can prove Mayweather was a bitch for ducking Paul Williams).

this fight is sorta like Shakur's version of the Floyd vs Corrales fight, maybe not in stylistic matchup but in how big the gulf in skills was compared to the prematch hype. The only difference is Floyd actually beat the fuck out of guys that were below him during that phase of his career, whereas Shakur is just content 1-2ing to an easy decision

>>153231763
If Shakur made Teo dehydrate to 135 it'd probably end the same as Mayweather-Corrales (minus hitting a downed opponent)

Shakur vs Haney will sedate thousands

>>153231769
the black community will never admit to it but Floyd will always be the master of the rehydration clause, it's the ultimate asterisk to his career besides waiting out guys' primes before fighting them

That will kill the sport. The right move is allow Ryan to get on PEDs again, go mentally insane, then unleash on Shakur in the ring.

>>153231743
Longer punches (better straights/jab as well as being longer armed), knows how to circle a southpaw, throws more punches than Shakur, has more power than Shakur, will eat Shakur’s body with his famous body jabs/straight rights.

Shakur is food for Floyd.

>>153231853
>has more power than Shakur, will eat Shakur’s body with his famous body jabs/straight rights
When's the last time you saw a Mayweather fight? There's a reason why he liked cherrypicking slow bums.
R.A. The Rugged Man called him out for avoiding tricky/slick black fighters and the video is still on YouTube.

>>153231853
Finally, an answer. Floyd does have a better reach. Although Shakur can develop into being a more improved fighter than would give Floyd problems.

>never boxed
>never been in any kind of organized martial art
>last fight was 25 years ago on the playground
>thinks he knows shit about boxing
What makes someone this delusional?

>>153231853
Floyd will win off volume but it will still be a snoozer and probably closer to 8-4 than a shutout

Last night wasn't just a shut out. There have been plenty of shut outs where the losing fighter still came out standing tall. But last night I actually felt bad for Teo. You could see his confidence as a fighter disappear round after round, he wasn't fighting to win but fighting to hold on to some shred of dignity. And all the worse for him since Teo is a guy who loves to clown in the ring. Shakur couldve stopped him as a form of mercy yet he let the humiliation play out. It was kinda brutal and I didnt like it.

shaking stevens is knocking on the door of top 5 p4p

>>153237130
I noticed Teo looked clueless by round 2. It was probably earlier than that in reality lol
>Shakur couldve stopped him as a form of mercy yet he let the humiliation play out

This is what a lot of people don't get about Shakur, and why so many people had Teo winning: Shakur does what ever needs to be done to win. He does not care about the fans; he only cares about victory, and most likely his health too. If he doesn't see a safe KO, he's not gonna go for it. He wants to stay in control the entire fight, and that doesn't always mean getting a KO

>>153237148
Reminder: Shakur is technically top 3-5 p4p, but his resume makes him a top 10

Hmm I wonder how bud vs teo would've went...

>>153237255
I agree with what you are saying from the perspective of a fighter, but the way to get that victory matters. Shakur feels like the equivalent of NBA jacking up threes, or UFC mountain people grappling. Is it an optimal way to win? Probably most of the time. But nobody wants to see that shit, because the love of the game isn't just love for optimizing the rules. There's a fighting spirit, of risk taking daring to be great that we fans, casual or not, can relate with. Shoe shoe showed it last night.

I want to see Inoue, Usyk, Bivol, Bam, Opetaia, Vergil, Junto, Benavidez, Itauma in big fights. The excitement is just not the same unless one of the boys is involved. Case in point Shakur vs Haney would be a bigger fight to make than most of the potential matchups involving my boys but I'm not excited for it.

>>153240639
Usyk v Kabayel/Wardley
Bivol vs Benavidez
Bam vs Nakatani
Opetaia v Ramirez
Vergil v Boots
Junto vs Bam
Benavidez v Bivol/Beterbiev/Ramirez
Itauma v any top 10 heavyweight

>>153240737
Only Inoue vs Junto/Bam, Vergil vs Boots, Benavidez vs Bivol, and Usyk vs Itauma/Wardley I would confidently say would be bigger with most fans than Shakur Haney. You could make 3-5 fights with each of those guys that I would enjoy much more but I don't think they'd be big fights for most people.

>>153240805
shakur haney is an absolute stinker of a fight
its like a "whats the worst fight you can think of" fantasy matchup

(I wasn't disagreeing with your point, i was just stating the fights i'd like to see with the fighters that you mentioned)

>>153240828
Its a bad fight but its a big fight that will get a lot of buzz with more fans. Or maybe I'm just being influenced by black discourse. As far as I know Haney and Shakur both have large fanbases that would tune into this, and even for those who aren't those 2 have some of the biggest name value of all boxers right now and it would feel "big".

I stopped watching around round 5. Nobody is going to say that fight was good unless they're black. If you were looking into any of Shakur/Haney/Ryan/Teo expecting a good fight that's entirely on you though. There are plenty of fighters who are skilled and exciting out there and you chose to tune into a 5 queens matchup. I'll give Tank the smallest bit of leeway because he could be in good fights if he ever wanted to take them.

Anyone watching Zuffa boxing? It's on YouTube for free right now

>>153231572
Teo truly sucks. The "Teo rises to the quality of the opponent" myth is done and dusted. He overachieved against Loma and Josh taylor, the weakest undisputed champ, both of whom additionally played into his style plus the shoulder and size factors Loma had. His bad performances are no fluke.

>>153231603

Teofimo resume still better than Shakurs right now, and will be for some time if Shakur legit chooses to fight opponents like Conor Benn. Imagine being told you're carrying the torch and the first guy you get excited to fight in these stacked weight classes is Conor Benn. Fuck outta here.

>>153237720
Yeah, some fighters are just more willing to get dirty to win. It may be related to their motivation to fight in the first place. Shakur could be a guy who loves beating people up or dominating people, but doesn't want to get hit unnecessarily. He isn't exciting to most people, but he's going to go far (ironically, because his style may leave him undefeated)

>>153242200
>The "Teo rises to the quality of the opponent" myth is done and dusted.
It kinda had some merit when he fought Loma and Taylor vs Kambosos and Sandor and Ortiz, but.... People seems to forget that styles make fights when it comes to Teo. Maybe they were just good matchups, and he sucks dick when it comes to boxers?

>>153243397
I joked about it on reddit, but I do believe Shakur is cherry picking his B- and up opponents. Though too be fair, I don't know too many guys he can fight at 140 that aren't his "brother"

I think I saw it. You're at your rawest after a low moment. His dad was laughably bad yesterday.

>>153245277
I also saw an interview with his dad from seconds out where sr just threw his son under the bus saying he didnt carry out the gameplan and the entire boxing community wanted Teo to lose. Bro what fucking gameplan? Shakur walked out without a scratch like sparring match. Teo Sr is straight up delusional. I'm going rank Bill Haney, Angel Garcia and all the dads over him.

>>153245312
Apparently Sr. helped come up with a plan to beat Loma, but I'm not sure anymore. If you showed this to someone who never saw Teo fight, they'd think Sr. was just his dad who decided to play coach for the day

I peeped the post fight analysis DAZN did and Malik (although obvious) had a point: Team Teo played like amateurs. Teo's face is getting bruised, swollen, and cut by the SAME PUNCH he LITERALLY jumps into, and NO ONE TELLS HIM TO PICK HIS HAND UP??? NOT EVEN TEO HIMSELF??????? I have no idea what the alleged game plan was. Maybe they hoped Shakur would break his hand or something idk. Maybe Sr. wanted Teo to block Shakur's jab with his forehead to break it? Teo definitely needs to part with his dad

I'm going on a tangent, but imagine how good Teo would be without his doofus dad holding him back. His worst moments are all accompanied by his dad giving God awful advice; imagine if he had a real coach to coach him through tough times, not some fucking drunk retard telling him "dude just punch him lmao". Holy shit, Sr. is so bad

Already proven to be flatfoot against out boxers, and statically has "no power" at 140. In retrospect, it's clear his low guard was money to Shakur's technical style

>>153248656
Never watched it. I heard a bunch of negative things, like the fighters wearing uniforms. It seems like UFC-lite which is garbage

>>153248156
True. Lots of boxers even ATGs have a style that they can't deviate from. Or if they change styles it's between fights, not during a fight. E.g. my modern favorites Pac, RJJ, GGG have very distinct styles that they stick to throughout their career for better or worse. I don't consider Ali's rope a dope an adjustment mid fight, nor Foreman when he came back, or Canelo's change from combination puncher to this.

I can't think of top of my head many boxers who made adjustments mid fight when they are losing.
Recent memory I can count Loma who changed mid fight against Teo and Haney. Maybe Bivol with Beterbiev. Maybe Usyk against Fury 1, after Fury had success early on. Eubank Jr tried multiple times against Conor Benn in the first fight but that was very sloppy.

>>153231635
he barely beat an electrician

>>153249056
We saw Bud change styles against Madrimov, but I feel like it wasn't too drastic of a change since Bud basically has two styles that he uses depending on the fight (vs. Spence and vs. Canelo). Most of the guys you mentioned made minor defensive additions/changes to their strategy that helped in the long run. For some reason, it seems harder for top guys today who use a low guard or a lazy jab to practice basic boxing fundamentals, even aftering getting cut or dropped

He’s right you know

Jared Anderson?

>>153250153
It's been almost a year since this dude fought, where he was completely uninterested. I thought he was fucking dead lol

Gosh Efe and Martin is gonna suck balls. I forgot how ass Bakole-Efe was. What happened to HW boxing? It's not even just an American HW thing-- most HWs are too fat and bulky to produce exciting fight. It's usually just a lardass and a beefcake holding hips for 10 rounds until the fatass can't hug in time to smother the slow uppercut from the bodybuilder

>>153249056
SRL against Hearns also comes to mind

Possibly the biggest dud of a hyped up prospect in American boxing. Roy Jones was not ready when he started fucking crying in front of him. He clearly doesnt want it.

Wait what the fuck is even happening?

Imagine having bought silver or gold instead of a couple pallets of Furocity and Fury merch.

>>153250336
Unrelated but it infuriates me how unprofessionally presented so many of the platforms are nowadays. HBO was the last one that understood that boxing is a gentleman's sport and should be presented as such even if the fighters themselves rarely live up to that standard, I cannot stand shit like the lazy graphics or especially the lackadaisical commentary from bums like Mora, Mannix, Bradley, etc. They dumb everything down to appeal to the casuals more and more

>>153250536
I can give Sergio and Bradley a pass since they're the former boxers who didn't uphold the "gentleman's sport" title, but RJJ and Foreman did try to present themselves as gentleman on the air. Overall, casualness is the entertainment meta, for lack of a better word. This started in the 90s and was adopted by most in the late 2010s

Conor Benn vs Shakur is unironically one of the better options for entertainment value, like Ryan Haney. The best match ups are brawlers and sluggers who can fight dirty, and not try to out box Shakur. Pure explosive offense and athleticism, like what Teo was supposed to do but he didn't do any of it.

Larry Merchant was a retard.

>>153250914
Teo tried to explode occasionally, but was punished. The only interesting thing about this fight is that it's at 147. Outside of that, Shakur should treat him like any of the Latino punchers he's fought

stewards commentary is missed the most imo. so much historical knowledge coupled with the great ability to analyse and read things happening right in the middle of the fights that hes commentating on, all with a voice that is enjoyable to listen too and isnt muddled up by cte or an annoying accent, he was the soul of that HBO broadcast. the current crop comes nowhere close. if anyone here hasnt go listen to his hour long interview he did with Rummys Corner before he died, its the best historical interview about boxing thats available today

I still can't believe they fired George and Manny so they could give millions of dollars to Jim Lampley, Max Kellerman, Andre Ward, and Thomas Hauser.

Before he went full retard on actually being angry instead of just being playfully cantankerous, he was the comic foil.

I'd forgive so much bad commentary if they would at least give us this.

Very nice poem. Encapsulates the spirit of boxing as the sweet science, not just science.

>>153251262
Larry Merchant's role wasn't an boxing analyst, he was a boxing poet and historian. Even when he got old and lost his edge I still preferred him over Max Kellerman.

>>153254667
>nearly all the big fights continued not happening.
How many more big fights are we looking for in boxing? At this moment, Fury and AJ are past it; Vergil v Boots seems to be on the horizon; fights like Canelo v Benavides won't happen if one guy wouldn't take the world's treasury to fight

>Fury
>pas[sed] it
Don't make me laugh.

>>153255758
The only superfight that the Saudis missed on is Canelo-Benavidez. I dont like their shows, dont like their commentary teams, dont like all the kneeling to turki and ruining a shows pacing because he isnt there yet but they've delivered the superfights

>>153255263
>I still preferred him over Max Kellerman
Same. Max speaks super slowly as well but he doesn't say anything funny/interesting and he doesn't have the excuse of being old.

>>153255758
>>153256004
Maybe I'm being a little harsh but in addition to Canelo-Benavidez, we never got Tank-Loma, Tank-Shakur, Bud-Boots, or Joshua-Wilder.
It feels like something has gone wrong when the guy with supposedly infinity money is getting shown up by Jake Paul fights two years in a row.
>I dont like their shows, dont like their commentary teams
I don't get Turki's decision-making. He could've gone with BeIN Sports instead of DAZN. He could've gone with Netflix or Twitch or even YouTube and gotten more viewers.
He's kept around all the same promoters, alphabet org leeches, and Ring Magazine writers/editors who ran the sport into the ground.
And his big idea to revitalise heavyweight boxing? Trying to get Wladimir Klitschko to come out of retirement.

I was watching some old footage and boxing as a whole has just become a whole lot less impressive. The modern camera quality isn't helping, the lack of smoke and drunk gamblers, the fact that every fighter has some gay gimmick ring entrance. It just ain't the same.

>>153256579
>Tank-Loma, Tank-Shakur
We weren't gonna get shit with tank lol. Didn't he ask for ridiculous money? The others are something we probably could have gotten

Very good breakdown of the fight from Shakur.

>His plan to was to capitalize on Teo's mistakes that past opponents didn't, e.g. his left side is always open and having trouble with certain jabs
>Teo's plan to walk him down didn't work because he cracked Teo early
>His corner saw Teo's gameplan was to try to catch him with a big KO shot
>It's stupid to risk exchanging with Teo for the knock out when he was already winning easily
>Casuals calls his fights boring because he makes it look too easy
>Felt bad for Teo when his corner ditched him post fight

On his possible next opponents:
>benn, pitbull, ryan, haney

>>153257103
If Shakur fights Benn, I wonder if he'll stay at 147. If he does, then he'll probably look for Haney next. Talk about one for the purists....

>>Casuals calls his fights boring because he makes it look too easy
Precisely. He finds a strategy that works well, and never tries to do too much. Typically, this results in 12-0 matches, which filters most

>>153256628
They need to stop playing music between rounds so the crowd has a chance to cheer/boo to influence the atmosphere and set the vibe.

>>153256888
>Didn't he ask for ridiculous money?
Only because they wanted him to fight in Saudi and because Turki has favorites.
These negotiations were between Ngannou getting robbed and Usyk being allowed to barely win a split decision, I think it's fair to ask for more if the suggestion was that you have to win by knockout.
It's not like they weren't already giving silly money to worse fighters.

>>153257103
>On his possible next opponents:
>>benn, pitbull, ryan, haney
Pitbull is sadly the most interesting option. Ryan would get knocked out.

>>153257717
>Pitbull is sadly the most interesting option.
You saw what happened to teo, right? How is the midget with even flatter feet gonna be more interesting than Shakur vs Benn?

>>153257797
Teo was gunshy, Pitbull will make a dogfight of it. He punches when his opponent throws, he chases people when they run and throws punches to pin them on the ropes.
He'll at least try.
I think his style is the only one that could possibly provide an interesting challenge, unlike Benn and Haney who would both get boxing lessons.

>>153257879
I think vs Pitbull would look a lot like vs Zepeda. Shakur probably wouldn't stay on the ropes as long as he did against Zepeda, but they'll be the same at their core. Shakur fights tall, likes to pull back, and isn't afraid to use his hands to make space, so I think he'd have maybe a little less control than what he had against Teo, which is to say it should be easy.

Then again, Shakur did say Zepeda was his toughest fight, so I guess I don't know what "easy" is to shakur

Bradley thinks Shakur will stop guys in the future as his confidence to press guys increases. I wholly disagree. I think Shakur isn't the type of person to take chances to end fights quickly like Bud would, especially if he's moving up to 147 for Benn

Sr did the same shit when Jr faced Kambosos. Treated him like a total bum to be knocked down in the first few rounds. If you rewatch the fight you see in the first round that Teo is just trying to bull rush Kambosos to get the knockout which led him to be open to the counter. If he had a proper coach, they would never allow that kind of game plan. That fight literally stopped ALL momentum Teofimo had.

What I dont understand is why would Teo want to go to 147? He already lost all his power at 140 and he is like 5'7 without having a big frame like Canelo.

What were they thinking with these captchas man. Absolute cancer.

Honestly I would have no problem with Shakur if he fought multiple times a year. Inoue goes out 4 times a year in his 30’s and he comes to fight every time, even risking getting himself stopped just to entertain people. Inoue wanted to kill himself after he couldn’t stop Picasso, that’s how much he puts into his fights.

Shakur fights twice a year at most and just cruises to decisions and acts like he’s the goat or something. If he is as good as he says he is he should be stopping guys like Teo or at least dropping him. Floyd in his prime stopped guys way better than Teo.

I’d like to see him fight Dalton Smith next not Conor Benn which is just a meme fight, although Conor’s aggressiveness and power could give him problems, we all saw what he did against del los Santos. But I think Dalton would be a better fight.

>>153258832
Oh yeah lmaooo maybe the drugs and plastic for his hooker wife wasn't the best financial decision

>>153258845
>If he is as good as he says he is he should be stopping guys like Teo or at least dropping him.
This, I disagree with. I think the act of consistently being in total control during his fights is why he's so great. He chooses not to push the action to get a stoppage, unless they're a part time electrician, and even then it's tough

>>153257954
Shakurs ring IQ is too high to do that. If he does go for the KO it won't be due to growing confidence, but because the right gameplan allows for it. Shakurs mind is 100% tuned to winning with the right gameplan.

>>153258892
Exactly. He's a safety first dude. Teo couldn't touch him, and he didn't even look for a KD

>>153258689
You now remember Teo Sr calling Haney a fucking bum. Its time to make the fight.

>>153258912
This post kinda made me realize that Haney is a more entertaining boxer than Shakur. At least nowadays, you're guaranteed to see one KD in a haney fight, unlike with Shakur

Bradley also mentioned that shock might be a good fight for Shakur. I didn't respect shock like that, but he made Fulton look like a dork; if he had power like inoue... Man

And shockers wanna chime in and let me know how they see Shakur vs Shock going? It technically could happen at 135

>>153259915
And that’s why Shakur sucks because he can’t even fight in an exciting way once or twice a year. Inoue is multiple levels above him.

Shakur gets slept if he tries to trade with Benn. He’ll have to be on his bike all night and it will tank his stock again.

>I’m the best fighter in the world!
