Shakur Stevenson believes he’s the “stronger fighter than Floyd Schofield after sparring with him within the final. The WBC light-weight champion Shakur’s KO price is 45.5%.
Hand Accidents
Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) says he’d had hand issues all through his profession, which restricted his capacity to sit down down on his punches. His glass hand continues to be an issue, as he lately had hand surgical procedure.
In a video posted of Shakur figuring out, he wasn’t utilizing his proper hand. That’s the one he had surgical procedure on. If Stevenson’s hand falls aside in opposition to Schofield, he’s going to be helpless and unable to combat him off. He can’t run his technique to victory like he did in opposition to Edwin De Los Santos and rely on the judges to provide him a victory as a result of he’s the A-side.
“The only thing that makes him a threat is his awkward style. His offbeat rhythm, the jumping in, and just have to be prepared for it. But truthfully, I’m levels about his kid. So, I’m going to show it,” mentioned Shakur Stevenson to Shawn Porter’s channel, speaking about Floyd Schofield.
“I think it’s delusion,” mentioned Shakur when requested why fighters assume they will beat him after they’ve sparred with him. “He didn’t see nothing when he was in the ring. He didn’t get out of the ring and be like, ‘I think I can beat him because he got out of the ring and said I was the greatest fighter he’d ever been in the ring with.”
If Shakur isn’t throwing with energy because of his brittle fingers, it’s comprehensible why his sparring companions consider they will beat him. If Schofield goes by what went down along with his sparring with Shakur, it’s comprehensible why he feels he can beat him. It’s a logical conclusion anybody would attain after coaching with a fighter favoring a fragile, injury-prone hand.
“He DM’d me and said, ‘Bro, you’re better than anybody I ever seen.’ He remembered how the sparring went,” mentioned Shakur about his sparring with Schofield. “He remembered what happened, but I think fighters nowadays they’ve got to be delusional. I think he’s a delusional little kid, and his dad is delusional. They’re telling themselves that to hype themselves up, but I read between the lines.”
If Shakur couldn’t sit down on his punches because of hand issues, how can he name Child Austin “delusional” for believing that he can beat him. It is sensible for him to assume he can beat a non-puncher.
“I feel like I’m stronger than him. I don’t feel like he’s stronger than me. I think people get it confused with me having hand problems throughout my career. I think, truthfully, I’m a stronger fighter than he is,” mentioned Shakur Stevenson.
Shakur sounds delusional right here, saying he thinks he’s “stronger” than Schofield as a result of all you bought to do is take a look at their previous fights on YouTube, and you may fell that Child Austin is a a lot greater puncher.
