@alyciambaum I see you putting in that good work, only good can come from good, I am looking forward to seeing your fight at the Madison Square Garden. All the best.
Ryan Garcia has his sights on Shakur Stevenson. While Ryan possesses lightning-fast hands and solid fundamentals, he lacks the ring acumen and mindset to defeat a Shakur Stevenson.
@ShakurStevenson Fathers are rarely objective and often show favoritism toward their son; Ryan’s cousin made a similar statement. It’s worth noting that even the great legends like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Floyd Mayweather Jr. lost fights as amateurs.
Could we see Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia in the ring together after Garcia defeated Mario Barrios to capture the WBC World welterweight title? Boxing insiders believe this is the most likely path forward for both fighters.
Richardson Hitchins pulls out of his fight against Oscar Duarte over the weekend due to reported illness just before the fight. Oscar De La Hoya is calling for an investigation into the matter.
Over the Weekend Ryan Garcia defeats Marios Barios and takes the WBC World welterweight title by unanimous decision, judges scored the fight 119-108, 120-107, 118-109. There has been talk of a possible matchup against Shakur Stevenson.
@ShakurStevenson To be 'The Man' means your operating from a elevated state of mind where doubt can survive. This is pure confidence, the kind of certainty that transcends belief. It is the 'knowing' that comes only to those who have put in the work and achieved total mastery over their craft.
@boxmike_ Mandatory bouts don't typically come with rematch clause to fight again, in this case it would be up Brandon Figueroa's team to decide, there is nothing precluding them from negotiating a rematch. The question is could we see a rematch.
Nick Ball in his fourth title fight lost to Brandon figueroa in the 12 round by knockout, it would be his first defeat with a record of 24-0-1, before the opening bell it was written on his face, that he knew it was going to be a tough fight. Will he exercise the rematch clause?
Shakur Stevenson stripped of his WBC lightweight title after defeating Teofimo Lopez for the WBO junior welterweight title after refusing to pay $100,000 special event fee. Shakur's team refusal was based on the fact that WBC had nothing to with the WBO title fight.
@Alex_Zaccaro4 I remember something the legendary greatest Muhammad Ali said, the goal is the win the fight, not to kill your opponent, there were times he had an opponent in serious trouble he would call the refer in the stop the fight.
Round 10, Shakur lures Teofimo in and counter and using the right jab and right hook, Teofimo is awkward and off balance, Teofimo has no answers for Shakur offense.
Round 12, Shakur is just too good, his offense and defense is another level, Shakur showed he is the best fighter in the world and capture the WBO super lightweight title.
