Ryan Garcia gave Shakur Stevenson a dose of actuality on social media, kicking him whereas he was down following his much-criticized win over Artem Harutyunyan final Saturday night time on the Prudential Heart in Newark.
He instructed that Shakur “microdose on shrooms,” which is his method of giving Stevenson a technique to deaden the ego hit he’s taking from the followers’ backlash over his uninteresting win.
Ryan’s Brutal Honesty
Garcia put Shakur beneath a microscope, telling him on X that “everybody is aware of you might be terrified within the ring. You combat like a scared man.” That’s Ryan telling it like it’s within the traditional Howard Cossell style, and Shakur most likely doesn’t wish to face that fact.
WBC light-weight champion Shakur has fired again at his many critics on social media, attempting to defend himself on how he carried out.
Shakur received a twelve-round unanimous resolution, nevertheless it was not the spectacular effort he wanted to encourage one of many massive promoters to scoop him up on the free agent market. He wanted a knockout, however the energy wasn’t there, and he didn’t go all-out with a flurry of punches when Harutyunyan appeared shocked within the ninth.
Shakur naively believes pastures will likely be greener with one other promoter, who will give him the fights he’s been asking for towards Gervonta Davis and Vasily Lomachenko.
The Harsh Reality of Free Company
Sadly, regardless of the place Shakur winds up, be it PBC or Matchroom, they received’t have the ability to assure him Tank or Lomachenko. Additionally, there’s a very good probability that Shakur received’t get a proposal that surpasses and even matches the $15 million, five-fight deal High Rank supplied him to re-sign, which he rejected.
Eddie Hearn of Matchroom mentioned he received’t pay Shakur the type of cash Bob Arum was with High Rank. Except he alters his thoughts, Shakur can neglect about signing with him, and it won’t be price it anyway if he can’t ship Tank and Lomachenko on a silver platter.
Matchroom has nobody to supply Shakur apart from Andy Cruz, Regis Prograis, Liam Paro, Jack Catterall, and Richardson Hitchins. Some or all of these guys would doubtless beat Shakur, and he’d have to maneuver as much as 140 for over of them. They’re not big-money PPV-level fights within the U.S., none of them.
