Shakur Stevenson vs Artem Harutyunyan July 6th ESPN

Let's be honest. For all the obvious talent possessed by Stevenson he can be a tough pill to swallow. Be it his grasping for elite relevancy on social media or his last ring performance that gave hope to insomniacs worldwide. But he'll have another chance to shine making his first defense of his wbc 135 belt vs
Artem Harutyunyan 12-1 out of Germany.

As far as I know the co main in 130 wbc champ O'Shaquie Foster 22-2 making his third defense vs very crafty and capable Robson Conceicao 18-2-1. But this match feels like a main event affair. Foster is growing on me and styles here have potential for a fun fight.

Keyshawn Davis 10-0 comes in ranked top 3 of 4 at lightweight with the alphabet boys and fights 31-2 Miguel Madueno 10 rounds lightweights. Streaking
Abdullah Mason 13-0 fights Luis Lebron 20-5-1 8 rounds lightweights.

shakur has a chance to shine against an opponent that gave frank martin all he could handle. o'shaquie in tough again. could it be fourth time lucky for robson to get his hands on a championship? he's been hard done by against oscar valdez & emanuel navarrete previously. william foster the third v eridson garcia is an underrated fifty fifty fight on the undercard

These fights look interesting on the undercard. Watched the video yesterday of the fight camp. Some talented fighters on show.

O’Shaquie Foster v Robson Conceicao and Keyshawn Davis v Miguel Madueno should be 2 good contests.

This is the episode I watched.

130 is a division long due to be put in order.
But feels like many are looking up. Really like Fosters frame to fill and overall work rate.

Keyshawn has some holes to fill in when I take a second look at him. Easy to forget he's only had 11 fights but he's talking all the big names, but Berinchyk feels like his destination. They just want to first get him belted up but tbh that's no guarantee this early. Madueno will ask him some questions. Like to see Keyshawn with a mean streak and make a statement here.

mark chamberlain is rumoured to be fighting denis berinchyk next so keyshawn might have to wait on that one

Noticed an early start for espn in 2 hours rather than the 9pm they've been doing. All depends on the NBA wrapping up by then by then :p. Have provider crews doing some type of work a few blocks up hopefully they don't foul it all up. Just shocked they're actually working on a Saturday :p.

Mason v Lebron up first. Healthy looking crowd there too.

Very sharp and constant southpaw jab for Mason. Lebron with a couple partially blocked rights. Speed difference between the two is so wide.

Combos flowing early 2nd for Mason. Left upper and hook has the nose of Lebron bloodied. Lebron still with a slow clubbing right. Mason bobs inside, taunts with the tongue and double left drops Lebron hard! Lebron up...and down again off hooks. Face is busted all up.

Young Too Sharp Johnson anyone ???

Nice defense there for Mason, slips all 4 and hurts Lebron again presses him to corner and corner tosses towel for end of it. Young man doesn't play with his food that's for sure. Pressure combo puncher and great accuracy. Very nice showing for Mason with tko 3.

He's sharp of mind too. Shouts out crowd keeps it professional. "Appetite for smoke"...I like that :-X

Keyshawn Davis v Madueno and his massive beard next up.

Madueno a rough customer. Davis rakes an elbow on ropes, staying sharp with the 1-2s. Davis definitely conscious of the brawling power of Madueno and takes 1st.

Madueno comes out clubbing and bumping in 2nd and warned by ref. It's early...but Keyshawn is walking a rail here. Style and strength wise he cannot stand in with him and getting backed into corners for exchanges. Has to be the rapid sniper here.
