Shakur Stevenson v Shuichiro Yoshino 8th April 2023

[Spicoli]

Going to have a hard time matching Jared in company. The man has arrived. Ajagba feels a bit beyond shelf life but decent match. Meanwhile Frank Sanchez sits top 5 and took a clear gimme mismatch tonight.

shakur is sharp. he might get the knockout

[TIC]

shuichiro has no chance here

[TIC]

impressive stoppage & performance from shakur in six rounds

[ruthless rocco]

If these fighters are so great, why are they all fighting bums, and why are the fights not ending in the first round or two?

i'm not sure who said these fighters are so great but shakur was impressive tonight, the stoppage was a bit early but was coming. i agree shuichiro wasn't my first choice of opponent but other fighters turned down the fight as shakur went down the wbc ratings, landin on shuichiro who accepted the fight. shuichiro is not on shakur's level but i wouldn't call him a bum. he was unbeaten & had a couple of good wins. i'm not surprised this fight went past two rounds

WHA?

Hey... I'm all for protecting fighters from themselves. But this one was definitely a bit premature. Sure... Yoshino had no chance in there. But wow, it was stopped at the weirdest juncture.
