Shakur Stevenson Sounds Off

“I’ll be honest with you all, I’m not going in there to have a long fight. I am going in there to get him out of there”.

“I put pressure on myself. I don’t really feel like getting pressure from anybody else. it’s already going to put on a hell of a performance it won’t even really matter. I’ve been in the gym focusing on my craft and I’ve been locked in so I don’t think anything that’s going on in the world is messing my training up”.

Shakur Stevenson’s speed was a big hurdle for Caraballo throughout the fight. Not to mention his cardio was on the pace throughout the fight.

When asked about boxing trying to compete with the UFC, Stevenson seemed unmoved. It is clear the young star is keen to put on amazing performances.

“I think it’s going to take some time when you have shows without crowds. By the end of the year, boxing will have the biggest fights back and everything will be back to where it’s at”.

“I have got to talk to my team after the fight and see about 130 [division] but If I could get a big fight I would unify. If not I will be at 130 trying to get a bigger fight there”-Shakur Stevenson

In light of his performance, the young star has drawn many comparisons to Floyd Mayweather. It remains to be seen whether Shakur Stevenson can live up to the lofty image of ‘Money’ Mayweather.
