The Night Shakur Stevenson Unified Titles | APRIL 30, 2022

#OnThisDay in 2022, #shakurstevenson unified the junior lightweight titles with his win over #oscarvaldez.
Next up for Top Rank Boxing, Japan’s pound-for-pound hero is set to headline the biggest boxing event his country has ever seen. Undisputed junior featherweight world champion Naoya “The Monster” Inoue will defend all the belts against Mexican puncher Luis “Pantera” Nery on Monday, May 6 at the Tokyo Dome.
Inoue, a four-weight world champion and two-weight undisputed king, will headline at the iconic venue for the first time.
Inoue-Nery and three additional world title showdowns will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ at 4 a.m. ET/1 a.m. PT. Australia’s WBO bantamweight world champion, Jason “Mayhem” Moloney will defend his belt against rising knockout artist and former kickboxing world champion Yoshiki Takei.
The world title quadruple-header also features WBA bantamweight world champion Takuma Inoue (19-1, 5 KOs), younger brother of Naoya, who defends his title against former world title challenger Sho Ishida (34-3, 17 KOs). And, in a flyweight world title tilt, newly minted WBA world champion Seigo Yuri Akui (19-2-1, 11 KOs) battles Taku Kuwahara (13-1, 8 KOs) in a rematch of their 2021 Japanese title bout, which Akui won by 10th-round TKO.

Shakur The One Person From 130-140 That Really Can Beat Tank… I’m Not Saying He Would, But He Definitely Can

Yea with all that running and holding definitely

[@Opulent00]

If you call Shakur a track star while watching this fight you don’t know boxing

[@blackpillproductions2287]

He was the bigger male that night. He only runs when he can't bully

[@Opulent00]

@@blackpillproductions2287 running doesn’t exist in boxing, it’s called not engaging, unless you turn your back and pick up your feet then you’re not running, watch the de la Hoya Tito Trinidad fight, Oscar is known as a toe to toe fighter but this fight the whole fight Oscar uses movement jabs and combinations to win rounds, only low iq fighters approach every fight the same when you have multiple tools in your tool box you fight different types of styles. It’s not a street fight it’s “boxing”, a gentleman’s sport, the sweet science. Ali doesn’t fight George Foreman the same way he fights Sony Liston or Joe Frazier

[@blackpillproductions2287]

@@Opulent00 yes watch the fight again Oscar doesn't look anything like Shakur Neither does Floyd or any other pure boxer in history Because Shakur is a scared little boy fighting smaller shorter armed men

[@Opulent00]

@@blackpillproductions2287 lmao I doubt you’ve even seen it nvm you got it that probably flew over, you’re right a guy who’s profession is to punch other men in the face and who won a silver medal doing it is a scared little boy. You’re right my bad for bringing this up.

[@thatbastardtony9445]

@@blackpillproductions2287mike tyson was smaller and had shorter arms than anybody he fought. Shakur is only 2 inches taller than oscar and was only a inch taller than robson. That fighting smaller men narrative is old and tired. Its been proven wrong already, shakur isnt even a big lightweight lol dude is 5”8 with a 68” arm reach. Robson Conceicao had a longer reach than shakur, jamell herring was 5”10 and had a 72 inch arm reach. By your logic shakur shouldnt fight tank, pitbull cruz or anybody smaller at all because they just simply dont stand a chance.

[@BlackBaudelaire]

I love how Shakur and Bradley were basically just arguing😭😭

[@kairau1519]

Boxing fans a so shit...im from mma..shakur is crazy to watch fight. His defence is insane. He just sits in the pocket and waits. Shakur vs pitbull please 🎉🎉🎉

[@PrimeBoxMexicanStyle]

Buena pelea Shakur dio una clase de boxeo defensivo y Oscar no pudo descifrar el plan 🔥🥊😎👌🏼

[@Olutradez]

I can tell by the comments y’all don’t really like boxing

[@danadudley3127]

That part. They like fighting. Two knuckleheads just throwing punches at each other.

[@blackpillproductions2287]

They don't like fake boxing with racial favoritism shown by the refs for a talentless fighter

[@mercuriusmc213]

Yep, think this every time man. It's the sweet science, being able to manipulate the ring to hit and not get hit. One of the most, if not the most, difficult things in sport. These people have no clue. Go watch BKFC

[@blackpillproductions2287]

@@mercuriusmc213 no you watch some real boxing Shakur looks nothing like pernell Whittaker

[@mercuriusmc213]

@@blackpillproductions2287 He doesn't have to fight like Pernell to be amazingly skilled. I've watched thousands of old fights and new fights. Just because he doesn't look like your favourite fighter doesn't mean he isn't skilled. Give up the hate man lol

@@mdg_45gaming21 No, He’s Just Lying On Purpose Cuz It’s Trendy To Hate On Shakur Now

[@Nick-wm7wr]

Riding waves to hate on people is the modern trend. Hate that

[@jearex_8226]

Shakur had one bad performance n everyone just let that define who he is as a boxer, people really forget how much of a good fighter he is hands down his IQ is there. Yall gotta stop with the dickriding 💯

[@ejm1624]

shakur def leaves himself open for shots, but he somehow gets away with it. Valdez timed him a few times with that left hook, but barely missed shakur by centimeters.

[@notpaper-cr6ni]

Shaker don’t even have real fans anymore😢

[@Mr.matthewRiley-rg5ig]

I like him

[@RelloBluntz]

I rock wit bru

[@kibira_fit]

Shakur is talented

[@katlegogamede2687]

He never had . If it took them a short period of time to walk away after a bad performance

Ppl only hate for likes..

Worse beating a 🇵🇷 put on a 🇲🇽

Remember y’all if shakur was a bum he wouldn’t have haters 😂😂 the haters knows he’s great tryna disguise it by hating on him 💯 that’s a fact

[@Spacemanfilms2002]

This fight genuinely sucked especially after being followed by Taylor vs Serrano which was way better

[@jaytrxps1149]

lmao how did it suck you must like when boxers brawl and trade shots

[@user-pi5sf3lg7s]

Run run shakur😂😂😂

[@recodegamesstudio]

Shakur broke usain bolts world record in the ring

[@mellikevans9055]

he didn’t even run this fight

[@kalwiggy]

Ok, the fight was great and all but who were those 2 women making faces the entire fight?

[@S48432]

Use more feints use head movement don’t go head hunting switch it up go to the body and Shakur is very beatable I think Tank beats Shakur by stoppage 💯

[@user-si2db7gj7x]

When’s this?

[@urstube6901]

huh?
