Ryan Garcia gave Shakur Stevenson a dose of actuality on social media, kicking him whereas he was down following his much-criticized win over Artem Harutyunyan final Saturday night time on the Prudential Middle in Newark.
He steered that Shakur “microdose on shrooms,” which is his means of giving Stevenson a technique to deaden the ego hit he’s taking from the followers’ backlash over his boring win.
Ryan’s Brutal Honesty
Garcia put Shakur beneath a microscope, telling him on X that “everybody is aware of you might be terrified within the ring. You battle like a scared man.” That’s Ryan telling it like it’s within the traditional Howard Cossell style, and Shakur most likely doesn’t wish to face that fact.
WBC light-weight champion Shakur has fired again at his many critics on social media, making an attempt to defend himself on how he carried out.
Shakur gained a twelve-round unanimous resolution, but it surely was not the spectacular effort he wanted to encourage one of many large promoters to scoop him up on the free agent market. He wanted a knockout, however the energy wasn’t there, and he did not go all-out with a flurry of punches when Harutyunyan appeared shocked within the ninth.
Shakur naively believes pastures might be greener with one other promoter, who will give him the fights he’s been asking for in opposition to Gervonta Davis and Vasily Lomachenko.
The Harsh Fact of Free Company
Sadly, irrespective of the place Shakur winds up, be it PBC or Matchroom, they gained’t be capable of assure him Tank or Lomachenko. Additionally, there’s a great probability that Shakur gained’t get a proposal that surpasses and even matches the $15 million, five-fight deal High Rank supplied him to re-sign, which he rejected.
Eddie Hearn of Matchroom mentioned he gained’t pay Shakur the form of cash Bob Arum was with High Rank. Until he modifies his thoughts, Shakur can neglect about signing with him, and it may not be value it anyway if he can’t ship Tank and Lomachenko on a silver platter.
Matchroom has nobody to supply Shakur aside from Andy Cruz, Regis Prograis, Liam Paro, Jack Catterall, and Richardson Hitchins. Some or all of these guys would possible beat Shakur, and he’d have to maneuver as much as 140 for over of them. They’re not big-money PPV-level fights within the U.S., none of them.
