Shakur Stevenson believes that he is “a stronger fighter than Floyd Scofield after sparring with him in the last. The knockout rate of WBC lightweight champion Shakur is 45.5%.
Hand injuries
Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) says he has had hand problems throughout his career, which has limited his ability to sit on his punches. for him Glass hand He remains an issue, as he recently underwent hand surgery.
In a video posted of Shakur exercising, he was not using his right hand. This is the one who underwent surgery. If Stevenson's hand collapses in front of Scofield, he will be helpless and unable to fight him. He can't fight his way to victory like he did against Edwin de los Santos and rely on the referees to give him the win because he's the top team.
“The only thing that makes him a threat is his antics. His off-kilter rhythm, the jumping, and he's got to be ready for that. But honestly, I'm levels about his son. So, I'll show that,” Shakur Stevenson told Shawn Porter. channelTalking about Floyd Scofield.
“I think it's an illusion,” Shakur said when asked why fighters think they can beat him after they've sparred with him. “He didn't see anything when he was in the ring. He didn't come out of the ring and say, 'I think I can beat him,' because he came out of the ring and said I was the greatest fighter he had ever been in the ring with.”
If Shakur doesn't throw that hard because of his fragile hands, it's understandable why his sparring partners think they can beat him. If Scofield was going through what happened in his sparring with Shakur, it's understandable why he feels he can beat him. It's a logical conclusion anyone could come to after training with a fighter who prefers a fragile, injury-prone hand.
“He sent me a direct message and said, ‘Bro, you're better than anyone I've ever seen.'” “He remembered how the sparring went,” Shakur said of sparring with Scofield. “He remembered what happened, but I think fighters these days They must be delusional. I think he is a delusional little boy, and his father is delusional. They say that to themselves in order to inflate themselves, but I read between the lines.
If Shakur can't sit on his punches due to hand issues, how can Kid Austin be called “delusional” for thinking he can beat him. It makes sense for him to think he can beat a non-puncher.
“I feel like I'm stronger than him. I don't feel like he's stronger than me. I think people get confused that I've had hand issues my whole career. I think, honestly, I'm a stronger fighter than him,” Shakur Stevenson said.
Shakur seems delusional here, saying he thinks he's “stronger” than Shuffield because all you have to do is look at their past fights on YouTube, and you can conclude that Kid Austin is a much bigger player.
