Shakur Stevenson v Robson Conceicao 23/9/22

[mikeeod]

Really surprised by him missing weight- but he is a big kid for 130 and I know exactly how demoralizing it feels to bust your ass and not be able to get enough sweat going to dry out and make weight. I was about to say it may be a reflection of a lack of work ethic that may prove disastrous in the future but remembered that Floyd missed weight once also and was one of the hardest workers ever. Still- I wish he had made the weight, defended the belts, and then moved up for his next fight.

Late edit: Just watched the weigh in and Shakur didn’t look too “sunken in” in the face- seems like he could’ve wrung out a little more water/fluid. Also, Robson had probably the most intense stare I’ve seen. This will be interesting.
