"GROW THE HELL UP!" TIM BRADLEY UNCUT ON SHAKUR STEVENSON "BORING, BRILLIANT" STYLE & FREE AGENCY

International Boxing Hall of Famer and 2023 Boxing Broadcaster of the year, ESPN's Tim Bradley, breaks down Shakur Stevenson's recent title defense win over Artem Harutyunan last Saturday. Check out everything the former 2-division champion had to say about all the talk surrounding Stevenson's style, free agency and critics.
Interview by Sean Zittel.

Winning is all that counts. Not some keyboard commentary. If dancing wins, keep dancing.

[@KingQov]

And critiques from people who do not do his actual job is hilarious. If he wins he wins. Boxing isn't just one dimensional but the fans are. Enjoy the unique skill of someone. Going 12 rds is hard let a lone winning. Now you may want greater competition which I understand but he isn't boring. He just is not your style of boxer. Everything is someone else's opinion and not valid to that person. Simple. He should not switch up his style he should evolve it. But. Not by listening to fans. He needs to listen to the men who are in and once was in his shoes. Fans are mentally slow, volatile, and novices of the sports they enjoy. They want the simple flash pop boom. Nothing else. Especially when you're in the shape of a Mohammad Ali. Congrats you're the goat and can't even control your own body. But. The fans love you? I guess that's good enough for a man who has nothing else to live for. But, for a man with a purpose knows who he is. No. Boxing like an idiot getting hit is dumb. Going for knockouts is dumb. Listening fans on anything is dumb.

The biggest knock on Stevenson is that he makes super bold claims outside of the ring, but then doesn’t deliver come fight night. He would be adored if he had a truthful approach to who is a boxer, but for different silly reasons, he wants to be a tough guy & talk crazy to opponents- he wants to be feared and not loved for being a technician, and he will not take accountability for the backlash. All in all: people sour on you when you constantly talk bigger than your what your production is.

Bradley is not lying man. He not only see what we see as fans, he also "Hears" first hand of what business suits think of Shakur. Why would Bradley have to lie. Shakur insulting Bradley for no reason, and truth is. Shakur aint above Bradley, and Bradley is already in the Hall of Fame. Shakur still got to get there. Bradley should be an allie, but it seem Shakur running off wise men by being unwilling to listen, and just incapable of taking criticism. Thats a sign of immaturity on Shakur part. Look! No one is saying Shakur is not a great fighter, and he is not talented. In no way shape of form. Shakur issues is his "Mouth" and Inability to take criticism. One thing about the internet. The people in it smell blood. Shakur showing weakness in the wrong place. "THE FANS". You need to sit down, and think Shakur. A wise man told me when I was young. "Dont build everything up, just to tear it down with your mouth." No cap. Shakur need to understand what that mean. Slow down youngsta. You taking it too personal. (Golden Nugget) Change the lingo in your presser, and take a "Fast" from social media. All the way up until your next fight. I promise you young bull. You will see results. But arguing with "We The Fans" homie. Its gone make it hard for folks to have an "emotional buy in" to purchase your PPV during inflation."If" that is your goal. Its on you big dawg. BUT It would behoove you. To let the Fan war go. Blessings to you Shakur. Wish you the best!

Shakur is like having a Ferrari and only going 40mph, still winning, but could be winning sensationally. Fans and his opponents lose. Wanted so much more from the dude but it is what it is.

I think Shakur is in need of a reality check. If he turns down Ortiz after this last fight I don't know what to say. Either way he needs to be more active. I say all that but I also say that those top names (not all but most) are using the "he is a boring fight" in order to duck him cause he would beat them, cause if SS get's clipped he is going to get on that bicycle and out point them and cruise to a victory cause they just can't hit him. His skill is undeniable but there is no willingness to engage. I don't think him and Tank ever fight. Like and respect your thoughts and words.

Tim doesn't understand the fans...Ali was entertaining even when he was being defensive and would never get boo'd today. Sugar ray knew how to finish opponents with punches in bunches and would never get boo'd because we don't boo fighters who fight like that currently. Everyone know Tim loves Shakur but shakur is stunnted as a boxer and with his own skill set. Unfortunately shakur doesn't look like a fighter most people will support because he is literally afraid to take chances since he went up in weight.

[@donaldnowthe69yroldggrant69]

He's not scared,he's just overconfident and childish. He's amazing and has to figure out how to market himself in and outside of the ring. He's also sensitive,so was Ali who surrounded himself with different minded people who could give him emotional support along with tough love and support during the hardest fights. This is a different generation today who don't know they're going in reverse without a cause. This foundation today is on shaky ground however they will find their way and will do just fine. Come on Shakur,this chance comes around only once in a lifetime. Figure it out like all of the greats who came before. It's hard doing what you make look easy. Respect your Grandfather,that's a helluva burden for you to be carrying.
