All because of Shakur Stevenson‘s last performance against Artem Harutyunyan, boxing commentator ShowBizz the Adult has lost $2,000 in bet. So, of course, unhappy with the loss, ShowBizz did not hesitate to claim Shakur was no Deontay Wilder nor Gervonta Davis. He critically pointed out that the boxer lacked the art of hitting!

When Tim Bradley Jr. and Ryan Garcia among others criticized Shakur Stevenson, the boxer from Newark objected. However, Bradley Jr. and Garcia felt Shakur hesitated against Artem Harutyunyan in the ring. Meanwhile, as Stevenson compared himself to none other than Floyd Mayweather, the boxing world was left furious. In everyone’s opinion, Shakur is not taking risks and thus is deficient in attack.

Boxing commentator ShowBizz the Adult felt the same. In his opinion, Shakur Stevenson needs to throw more punches as he lacks the ability to knock someone out with one punch. “When you don’t have the power of a Wilder, when you don’t have a pop of an ‘AJ,’ when you don’t have the pop of a Gervonta Davis or Beterbiev or some crazy s**t, sometimes you got to string punches together [because] it’s the art,” he began.

When you guys say the art of hitting and not getting hit, hit is first. That’s the first he forgot. He has the art of not getting hit. You got that part, that’s 50%,” he added, critically analyzing Stevenson’s performance. In this connection, he referred to Shakur’s last performance against Edwin De Los Santos. After a “stinker,” in Bob Arum’s words, defending his unimpressive fight against Santos, Shakur said he fought with an injured hand.

So, ShowBizz the Adult thought Shakur would have a better match against Artem now that his hand had healed. This led the commentator to place a bet of $2,000 on Stevenson which he unfortunately lost. So, he added, “You got me capping saying that it was only because he had one hand. That’s the only reason. And I put $2,000 down and lost it on MyBookie.
