Floyd Schofield Sr. says his son, Floyd Jr., is not going to lose to WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson in their fight in Riyadh on February 22. He says that fans are tripping up if they believe Schofield Jr (18-0, 12 KOs). come up just for the sake of it.
Boxing fans believe Floyd Jr. and his father talks about this fight just for money. They don’t think they can win and will be dominated by Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) on DAZN PPV.
The way they pushed for this fight and ignored promoter Oscar De La Hoya, who said that Floyd Jr. need more experience, make it seem like it’s all about money. If Schofield Jr. had at least one quality win on his resume, fans would believe he really wants to win.
“We come to win”
“We’re not going there to lose. You guys are rambling. We were against the odds. I tell Oscar (De La Hoya) to fight, and we’re going against the odds,” Floyd Schofield Sr. said. social mediaand talks about his son’s fight against WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson on February 22nd.
“We are used to this, fighting with our backs against the wall because we have something to fight for. We break generational curses. We enjoy it. We go out to have a blast. I hope you all agree to the fight.
“We thank Shakur for the opportunity. We are going to continue to be humble because it is time to grow in our lives. I want to be humble and spread love, but at no time are we going to lose a battle spiritually. Come on, you gotta be real for it,” Schofield Sr. said.
It says a lot about Shakur that he is 22-year-old Schofield Jr. if he chose his opponent rather than choosing the much more qualified contenders like Andy Cruz, Edwin De Los Santos, Raymond Muratalla, Jose ‘Rayo’ Velazquez or Isaac’. Pitbull’ Cruz. Stevenson doesn’t want to lose until he gets the Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis fight. To Floyd Jr. to pick is Shakur’s way of ensuring he doesn’t get hit.
“You already know who I am. You can all watch on the internet. I’m going to be a humbler version of myself and a calmer version. The bottom line is that we go out to win. We know we’re the underdog, and we love it,” Schofield said.
Floyd Sr. needs to keep talking because he’s the only one really promoting this fight. Shakur did nothing on his end to improve the game, and Schofield Jr. is also quiet. He is not a talker.
Upset in Riyadh?
“So, please don’t lose all your money betting on Shakur. Don’t be mad at me. Don’t come up with some nonsense because you lost your family’s money betting on Shakur. We have to prove what we say, and we’re going out there to rock,” Schofield said.
“The WBC title is on the line and the new. I tell you all. Keep sleeping. You are all going to have a nightmare. Go to sleep, Shakur,” Floyd Sr. said.
Schofield’s only chance to win is by knocking Shakur out because he’s not going to win a decision. For that matter, he may not even win any rounds. Like Floyd Jr. fought Rene Tellez Giron in his last fight on November 2nd, he doesn’t belong in the same ring as Stevenson.
