Shakur Stevenson looked at a photo by Shawn Porter moments after their sparring session for Shakur’s title defense of his WBC lightweight belt against Floyd Schofield on February 22 in the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
Porter was Try to give Shakur some coverage By saying in the photo caption: “The child just looks longer because of the angle on which the photo was taken.” This is not the reality. Shakur is a massive weight peel at 135 and has to fight with the murderers on 140. I’m just surprised that Porter doesn’t explain why Shakur’s face looks. He couldn’t blame it on the camera angle.
In the photo Tower Shakur over Porter and looks much bigger than him, like a young Primo Carnera. Stevenson gives box fans excuses why he can’t rise to 140 to fight Ernesto Mercadoand 147 went out the door. He looked more than big enough to campaign in one of these divisions. Stevenson just seems to be flat and does not want to handle the power of the young lions like Ernesto.
Circle wagons
Shakur gets all the help in the world to prepare for 22-year-old beginner Schofield (18-0, 12 COs). The retired porter is just the latest. Stevenson helped Terence Crawford, 37, and Floyd Mayweather with this battle.
This is a sign of worry. Stevenson is to circle his wagonsAnd all the help he can get from veterans for his fight against Schofield. He gets tips left and right from the three veterinarians to help him sponsor against this young lion. I smell fear.
With Shakur’s glass hand, if it is not 100% on February 22, he will be in trouble. Schofield is not the type of man who wants to fight someone with just one hand. Running from this man will not work because he knows how to cut off the ring, and he will put a little fire under his back.
Otta votes in the Porterway Podcast this weekend to find out how this Thang shook out, but I will say it … The child just looks longer, from the angle at which the photo was taken! pic.twitter.com/ebwutywor0
