Stevenson jumps to Hearn and "big fight" Turki just to step sideways vs Cordina moving back up and coming off a tko loss. Brilliant.

Weird one this. Shakur talks up fights with all the top dogs in a stacked division and ends up getting Cordina to jump a weight the fight after he lost his World title.
And how do all the top LW’s feel about Cordina getting this fight?
Hey, I like Cordina. I was gutted he lost his title. He’s a great technically skilled fighter. But this seems a bit of a stretch for him if you ask me.
It feels like they’re just throwing names together.

Really does feel like some fight manufacturing just to fill a date rather than make an appealing match. One minute he’s being seated with Hearn and Turki watching the Crawford card and the next they’re rolling out this steamer. Looks like he has a two fight deal with Eddie and supposedly a Zepeda match in February but have to see.

Shakur has made it fairly clear last few days he’s literally just about chasing the bag. He went from “chasing greatness” to just pay me millions and I’ll ride someone else’s undercard doing a tune up. That’s the part of Hearn and Turki throwing all these multi millions for subpar match ups that will help to impede actual mega fights down the road. Guys doing these soft touches will want 2,3 times as much when it comes to a serious top threat.
