Jamel Herring vs Shakur Stevenson - WBO super-featherweight title

[TitoFan]

It's over.

Was a bit surprised by the stoppage but can't second guess. Herring was little more than a punching bag in there, and no way he was going to win the fight.

Thx! Shakur has that swagger. Wasn't sure if he had something to back it up.

A night of early stoppages.

jamel had lost most of the rounds. his eye was messed up & things were only going to get worse for him. oscar, chris & roger better hide

[Master]

That was a very impressive performance from Stevenson to win the title. He looked so composed and strong against the Herring.

Reminded me of Floyd's breakout fight against Hernandez way back in 1998.

True and maybe Stevenson is far from Floyd's level too.

it was a good performance. there is a lot of work to do before we starting comparing him to floyd's level. the case can be made that he is currently the best at one thirty but i'd like to see shakur prove that

"Is Shakur Stevenson Afraid Of Moving To Lightweight Division?"




Jamel Herring hasn't even finished shaking out the cobwebs from his TKO loss to Stevenson... and this dude is saying Stevenson's "afraid" of moving up to lightweight.

Sometimes I have to wonder about the biases and thought processes of some of these writers.

By my count, he must've said Shakur was "afraid", "lacked self-confidence", and "lacked courage" to move up to 135 at least half a dozen times.

Number one... Shakur just recently moved up to super feather. He gave up 3 inches in height and 4 inches in reach to Herring. He will naturally be at an ever bigger disadvantage against the lightweights.

Number two... what's wrong with Shakur wanting to unify the division he just recently moved to?

There's Oscar Valdez (who Shakur called out literally minutes after knocking out Herring)... Michael Berchelt is still around... and there are a few more names.

No... it's not the star-studded lightweight division. But the writer's just gonna have to get over it for the time being.

Then he compares Shakur to Canelo. Please...

Shakur WANTS to fight Oscar Valdez. Called him out. Canelo says he doesn't want to fight Benavidez because Benavidez is Mexican.

In any case... apples and oranges. Shakur has all of 17 fights on his record. He's 24 years old. Give him a little breathing room before you start making stupid comparisons.

I doubt Shakur will even have a mega-hype-machinery behind him like Canelo has had all his career.

Biggest difference between them is: Shakur will fight anyone at any time, any place. No diva demands... no ridiculous catchweights... no marinating... no waiting till they're over the hill... no picking out weak titleholders at higher divisions before scampering back down to safety.

Stupid comparison.
