Throughout an interview this week, Ryan Garcia roasted Shakur Stevenson, responding to his complaints about not one of the prime fighters eager to face him.
Protection-Solely Doesn’t Reduce It
Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) is making a case for being so good that widespread guys keep away from him for concern of getting beat. Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) has a distinct take. He says that Shakur brings “no cash to the desk” and isn’t an incredible fighter as a result of all he does is “protection.”
Ryan feels that Shakur wants each offense and protection to be a “nice fighter. ” He solely focuses on protection with him, and he nonetheless wins, however barely, as we noticed in his battle in opposition to Edwin De Los Santos.
Don’t inform promoter Eddie Hearn as a result of he signed Shakur lately and is reportedly paying him $5 million for his battle in opposition to Joe Cordina on October twelfth. He thinks Shakur shall be a “international famous person” quickly, and he doesn’t perceive why he already isn’t a star within the U.S.
Stevenson didn’t land something in that battle, however the judges gave him a questionable win final November. If De Los Santos had been extra widespread, he would have gained as a result of he had landed the higher photographs, and Shakur wasn’t attempting to battle.
It was revealed right this moment that Shakur vs. Joe Cordina battle plus undercard is priced at $14.99 on PPV subsequent month on October twelfth on the Kingdom Area in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The principle occasion battle between gentle heavyweight champions Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol shall be proven free of charge on ESPN+, which is a really unusual state of affairs as a result of that’s the one battle the followers are fascinated about seeing on the cardboard in giant numbers.
“Everyone needs to see you, however you don’t convey no cash to the desk. So why would anyone wish to see you?” stated Ryan Garcia to the Say Cheese YouTube channel, reacting to being informed that Shakur Stevenson stated no person needs to battle him.
“You’re not like that, bro. We watch your whole fights, and also you run, and also you run, and also you run. You virtually misplaced to Edwin De Los Santos [last November] and didn’t even throw one punch. Tim Bradley is [glazing] you each likelihood he can get. You’re a bum, bro.”
A Query of Leisure
Shakur positively doesn’t meet the factors for what U.S. followers take into account leisure and doesn’t appear to slot in with this period’s followers, who count on extra from their fighters. Previously, followers had been extra accepting of defensive artists earlier than the creation of the Web, however now they’ve increased requirements, and Shakur doesn’t meet them.
“You’re Shakur Twitterson. You’re nothing. You’re only a man that’s boxing. He’s not that good, bro,” Ryan continued about Shakur. “He’s good, however he’s not nice. Nice can do offense and protection. You possibly can’t simply do protection.
“Mayweather didn’t simply do protection. He did offense and protection. You [Shakur] solely do protection, and by some means you continue to win. I don’t get it,” stated Ryan.
