Shakur Stevenson - Defensive Skills 2022

[@hanzagod]

If anyone was wondering where my recent Gervonta defense highlight went, it was taken down a few days ago by Showtime so I thought I'd switch things up and make a new Shakur video. At just 25, Stevenson is already a 2 division champion and has become one of the most well-rounded fighters in the game. The scary part is he's only getting better! www.patreon.com/haNZAgod

Gotta get it back up, it was one my recent favs. The moment where he drops Santa Cruz gives me chills

Out of Tank, Haney, Garcia (Ryan) and Stevenson. Shakur is easily the most complete. Shame they wont meet up anytime soon.

Shakur Stevenson is the best pure boxer since Floyd Mayweather Jr retired. I agree with you, this young man is in a league of his own.

[@dsmiley250]

I agree 100%

[@cutthroatcorn2815]

Him and tank for sure

[@MetaversalSouljah]

Yeah but tank is no slouch in actual boxing skills and has 2x the power. He can def KO Stevenson. He times the precise moment to unload the KO as well

[@Impact1992]

[@rds00799]

Beautiful skills. Scary to think how much more of a problem he could be if he had a Pernell right step jab instead of just leaving his hand out.

[@combatsportlover6919]

He used that hand as a measuring stick to keep his range as well as control his opponent.

[@rds00799]

@Goochi Goober but when it gets to the point where the ref wants to deduct a point from just leaving it out like that is a good time to switch it up or just pump the jab at least.

[@babyjesus1056]

@@rds00799 nah this wouldn’t do shakur any favors his style is great rn who really needs it is TANK… if he had that stuff Pernell jab I think he knocks shakur out… tank too basic on offense as of now he loves to circle the ring with no jab and goes down on rounds because of low IQ to mediocre fighters … shakur will comfortably outbox him as of now

[@vince11harris]

@@hanzagodthat’s true😂😂😂

[@pushhard2]

See what made Mayweather so great and unique is that his defense never relied solely on his foot work. It was and is the Philly Shell. Shakur's defense is in his legs. So when he gets older and his footwork gets slower he won't have as superb defense as he has now. And he'll be more prone to get hit with shots. That was the same case with Roy Jones. Once his legs went out so did his defense. Mayweather then and now could stand in front of an opponent and they couldn't do nothing with him. Not taking away from Shakur because he's a great master class talent but he needs add more upper body defense to his arsenal for when his legs and youth start to fade.

[@shivekr4823]

RJJ ignored fundamentals and instead relied on his superb reflexes and speed. Shakur is technically very sound and while he doesn't hang out in the pocket, he still has a hand up protecting his face when he's backing up. Floyd is Floyd but let's see how Shakur does over the next few years.

[@hansarabos1426]

Floyd when he was already out of prime still use a lot of lateral circling pivot movement also add in some in and out bounce step and some footwork fake and feints your wrong as well Floyd use a lot his footwork just watch maidana 1 and 2 vs Pacquiao and he use a lot of footwork to defend against a aggressive counter puncher brawler

[@pushhard2]

@@hansarabos1426 Although in boxing you have to make some defensive moves with footwork you shouldn't be RELIANT on it. You're wrong because Mayweather said out of his own mouth ON VIDEO that he beefed up his defense because of not wanting to rely on his legs. Roy Jones said it his self that his legs isn't what it use to be. What are we talking about here?

[@hansarabos1426]

​@@pushhard2 think about it why people who don't know anything about boxing called mayweather a runner yeah that's right mayweather use his footwork while at the same time he is standing there in the ropes, in the corner or in the center of the ring or out of the ropes

Hopefully he goes for undisputed at 130 or moves to 135

[@kakonis]

He doesn't seem to have as much wingspan or mass as Haney, who looked like a very big lightweight in his last fight, but Stevenson at least equals him in boxing brains, and isn't even anywhere near his peak. Add in that he has better "twitchies" as Max Kellerman calls them, and it looks like this kid could unify and reign for awhile, even in a very talent-rich division. Loma's great but definitely past prime. Garcia so far has shown a lot more skill than will. Kambosos reached or even exceeded his ceiling having a great night against an undertrained Lopez, and is probably no longer in the picture (if he activates his rematch clause with Haney, he's a fool). It's gonna come down to Davis, Haney, and Shakur, and I think Shakur is the last one standing when the smoke clears.

[@montezumasboxing5817]

@@JonP1245 he is very talented and his accolades as an amateur are a testament to that . But in the pros , the true definition of the sweet science is being able to box your opponent in phase 1 to set up traps in phase 2 and knock them out in phase 3 That is the true sweet science. I don’t know that Shakur has that type of talent at the professional level where everyone is a grown ass man
