Floyd Schofield posted on social that he’s obtained the contract and it’s a “Carried out deal” for the battle in opposition to Shakur Stevenson subsequent.
We’re nonetheless ready for Turki Alalshikh, Matchroom and Golden Boy to verify that Shakur vs. Schofield is signed for February twenty second. Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) revealed on Saturday that he’d signed the contact. At the moment, he posted the cryptic message, “Child meals,” which clearly is referring to the 22-year-old Schofield.
Shakur’s Name
The 2016 Olympic silver medalist Shakur appears joyful as a result of that is his child, the man that he needed. For apparent causes, Stevenson confirmed no real interest in combating Andy Cruz or giving Edwin De Los Santos a rematch. He is aware of his limitations. Other than Shakur struggling an harm, Schofield is a secure selection with no actual probability of successful.
Some followers had been hoping that His Excellency Turki would veto Shakur’s thought of defending in opposition to the novice Schofield and demand that Stevenson battle Andy Cruz or Raymond Muratalla. That will have stopped this abomination from taking place.
Followers Ain’t Blissful
If the Stevenson vs. Schofield battle will get introduced, it might finish badly for Child Austin, leaving him, Oscar De La Hoya, Shakur, and the followers trying silly. I say the followers as a result of a lot of them shall be speaking up the Shakur-Child Austin battle, believing that it will likely be aggressive, and they are going to be sad when it isn’t.
Schofield and his father, Floyd Sr., have been driving the method, pushing arduous for the Shakur battle. They sound so sure of victory regardless of the younger Child Austin’s full lack of expertise. He regarded horrible in his final battle in opposition to second-tier fighter Rene Tellez Giron on November 2nd. Followers consider the Schofields are thirsty. They know the payday goes to be good.
Individuals wouldn’t thoughts Schofield combating the Newark, New Jersey native Shakur for his WBC 135-lb title if he no less than proved himself in opposition to some contenders, which he’s didn’t do.
Would it not be asking an excessive amount of for Child Austin to have overwhelmed two or three of those abilities?
- Andy Cruz
- Raymond Muratalla
- Abdullah Mason
- William Zepeda
- Denys Berinchky
Child meals!!
