Elusive styles draw fans criticism

Recently, Devin and Shakur received criticism for their elusive ‘Tom and Jerry’ style of fighting. Timi Alalshikh’s Times Square card in New York was laughed at fans for the underperforming Haney and Theofimo Lopez, to whom he paid millions, and chose to run their entire battles around the ring. The fans who bought the opportunity on Dazn ppv Was furious.

Zepeda vs. Shakur: Impact

Stevenson (23-0, 11 COs) has a lot of pressure on him to act and not return to the movement he did in the past in his defense against William Zepeda on July 12 in Queens, New York.

With Turki lying down the law and said he wants fighters to participate on his cards, it’s a sign to Shakur that he should stand and fight in the middle of the ring. It may not be possible for him at a high volume puncher like Zepeda (33-0, 27 COs).

Without running, Shakur loses that fight. But if he does run, he will upset Turki. Stevenson’s wallet for the fight is estimated to be $ 3-4 million. This is a lot of money for a fighter who usually does not entertain.

Benn’s “boring as hell” forecast

“They are both track stars. I don’t even know what they do in boxing. I don’t know Brian Norman, but what I do know is that Devin Haney is a track star, and he’s going to go on his running shoes. The battle is going to be boring like hell, because any struggle he’s in is boring, ‘says Conor Benn to Fight Hub TV About the Brian Norman jr. against Devin Haney Fight in November.

Shakur used to be an entertaining fighter when he fought at 135, and enjoyed a great advantage over his smaller, often significantly smaller, opponents. But since his fight against George Kambosos jr. In 2022, he was a mover and a customer. He became less entertaining to look at the average fan.

There are still bags of fans who enjoy looking at movers and Huggers. They think it’s smart box. There just aren’t enough of them who want to look at the style if there are so many more entertaining fighters to look at. Turki Alalshikh was Devin’s lifeline and chose to use him on his cards despite the lack of interest from fans.

“Devin and Shakur,” Conor said when asked if Turki Alalshikh’s remark that he no longer wants Tom and Jerry at his Riyadh season events was directed to Haney. “They are both track stars. They will definitely be more successful on the track. They can’t help it. They are fannies. ‘
