โผ๏ธ ANNOUNCED: Ryan Garcia will defend his WBC welterweight world title against Conor Benn on September 12th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

My respect for Saul has increased over the years
Saul, Loma, and Tank are the only three fighters at the elite level who customarily fight bigger guys
All the rest of these fighters need every physical advantage and a skills gap every fight
So Im working on a story for @ringmagazine on Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. The man has 68 fights to his credit (with more to come). I don't think we'll ever see a run like this again at the world-class level in #boxing. I have great appreciation for this work he's put in
I like Zepeda, heโs entertaining to watch
Roach hasnโt impressed at all since putting on a good performance versus Tank but Zepeda is the type that can bring out the best or the worst in you
We shall see
This is a ๐๐๐'๐-๐๐๐๐ fight! ๐ฎโ๐จ

@MrMoonshine10 Man thatโs just human nature. Dissenters always seem louder than supporters even if itโs only in your head. Itโs what you do with that energy that matters. The great ones use it as motivation, the not so great fold under the scrutiny.
@RickGlaserTheOG Yeah but heโs British. He has no personality and he doesnโt have nearly the aura of a Mike Tyson. The UK just doesnโt produce guys that can carry the sport globally.
@SteveKim323 This fight has been overhyped because the bar for entertainment has been set so low for Shakur. If anything Zepeda deserves more credit for forcing him to fight out of his comfort zone which Shakur himself said he wonโt do again.
@TruSchoolSports Better at what? This generation of boxers are so corny. But in a way Canelo did this to himself. He lost so much respect losing to Crawford.
@heyitsmarcosv Street fights donโt have rules. Worst thing you can do is try to wrestle/grapple which leaves you open for someone to jump in and kick your head like a soccer ball. The goal is to end the fight as quickly as possible on your feet. Advantage goes to whoever has the best hands.
@HighLvlBoxing22 I think he had some decent showings at 130 albeit against not the highest level of opposition. Tbh I think Zepeda deserves a lot of credit for making this fight entertaining. He throws so much that had Shakur not let his hands go it mightโve swayed the judges in favor of Zepeda.
@HighLvlBoxing22@ShannonSharpe He really reminds me of a male version of Claressa Shields. Like her younger brother or something. They have very similar personalities.
@marcelluswiley@jasonwhitlock This entire situation is very unfortunate and man to man I have compassion for you. The biggest losers in all of this are the kids. We are never 100% innocent in any situation Iโm sure thereโs things that happened you probably wouldโve done differently in hindsight.
@HighLvlBoxing22 Shakur really does try to portray himself as a tough guy. He would get way more respect if he spoke like someone who is a tactician rather than this pseudo street persona. His fights and his fighting style never line up with the stuff he pops in interviews and on social media.
Males have been so demoralized that they automatically take the side of the woman even after countless situations has proven that to be unreliable at best. Iโm not saying take any side, let the facts form your opinion. Headlines are immediate, facts take time to surface.

Weโre talking about my arrest, the divorce, the allegations
We separate truth from lies on all things on Hydration Situation, ESPECIALLY when it involves me ๐ฏ
