[@AusarisTV]

He actually didn’t though. Bradley was right, when you continuously back up without firing any shots while doing so, you do allow your opponent to close the distance on you. Notice when Shakur dropped him, he didn’t take any steps backwards at all. Instead he just stayed planted and he sat on those punches and dropped him as a result of that. That’s what Bradley was talking about. If anything, it proved that Bradley was right.

[@gsl649]

[@pendekarsatria7368]

He too big for Inoue

[@kakonis]

He's too good for Inoue, and Inoue is one of the greatest fighters alive. Stevenson is the second-best alive, after Crawford, and the scary part is I don't even think he's peaked yet.@@pendekarsatria7368

[@itstroy4145]

I don’t think Inoue is gonna be able move up to 135 lol he’s too old now to be jumping that high. Maybe 130 though. But by then Shakur will possibly be up at 140.

[@JohnnyRamRod]

Shakur definitely too big, and Inoue himself said he has no plans going to weights he doesn't belong in

[@the_dirtytwon4096]

That first knockdown was beautifully crafted starting with Shakur's footing outside of his opponents foot which gave him the perfect power angle!!
