- International Boxing Hall of Famer and 2023 Boxing Broadcaster of the year, ESPN's Tim Bradley, breaks down Shakur Stevenson's recent title defense win over Artem Harutyunan last Saturday. Check out everything the former 2-division champion had to say about all the talk surrounding Stevenson's style, free agency and critics.
Interview by Sean Zittel. - กีฬา
He got to learn the difference between hate, disrespect and critique. You're getting critiqued on your performance. No one is hating or disrespecting you.
💯💯💯
Facts
Winning is all that counts. Not some keyboard commentary. If dancing wins, keep dancing.
And critiques from people who do not do his actual job is hilarious. If he wins he wins. Boxing isn't just one dimensional but the fans are. Enjoy the unique skill of someone. Going 12 rds is hard let a lone winning. Now you may want greater competition which I understand but he isn't boring. He just is not your style of boxer. Everything is someone else's opinion and not valid to that person. Simple. He should not switch up his style he should evolve it. But. Not by listening to fans. He needs to listen to the men who are in and once was in his shoes. Fans are mentally slow, volatile, and novices of the sports they enjoy. They want the simple flash pop boom. Nothing else. Especially when you're in the shape of a Mohammad Ali. Congrats you're the goat and can't even control your own body. But. The fans love you? I guess that's good enough for a man who has nothing else to live for. But, for a man with a purpose knows who he is. No. Boxing like an idiot getting hit is dumb. Going for knockouts is dumb. Listening fans on anything is dumb.
@@KingQov Critiques coming from...the people who watch you fight. I think it makes perfect sense..boxing is for entertainment, so if it's not entertaining, why not complain?
Shakur has a higher tweet volume than punches
😂😂😂😂
And You have more youtube comments than paper. At least Shakur can back his talk up 🤷♂️
And his bank account should be higher than either and that's all that really matters.
😂 bruh
Meanwhile you talking on TH-cam 😂
Tim had to have a coffee to stay awake for the fight! 🤣🤣🤣
For parts of it I fell asleep.
shakira needs to stop all that fancy shyt, stop running not even women boxers box like that they let their hands go and bang unlike shakira running away from edwin lmfao 😂
Shakur had the nerve to say dude was running and the fans was booing because of buddy. He is mad delusional.
How ironic. He blamed artem defense and running the reason he didn't perform well 🤡 taste of his own medicine
Insaneeee 😂 . He won the fight but lost the battle . Boxing is apart of the Entertainment Industry so the fans will always matter 💯
Dude was running 🤡
@@josuerizo10 He won. So he must have performed well enough. Remember, the only score cards that count are the judges.
@@charlesm7589 It will matter to Shakur during negotiations....which is why his last offer was like only 15m for 5 fights...which he turned down.
Tim Bradley is a company man, but I respect him. He was a warrior in that ring. He also didn’t tell one lie in this interview.
Just stays glazing Shakur 😂😂
Tim said "fighters are scared to fight Shakur, like they were scared to fight Crawford"..... THATS BS......smfh, aint nobody scared to fight Shakur in the ring!!
They not scared but they not interested in his style he hard to beat you gotta chase him down@@WaleAkinsefunmi-ci9pl
@@WaleAkinsefunmi-ci9plyes they are
@@WaleAkinsefunmi-ci9plit’s a reason top talent haven’t gotten in the ring with Shakur it’s because he won’t be easy to beat
This interview was Better than the Shakur fight
😂😂
@@BreakHarpethat's cold 😂
That doesn't say much.
FaCtx‼️
Omg that's the best quote so far..
The biggest knock on Stevenson is that he makes super bold claims outside of the ring, but then doesn’t deliver come fight night. He would be adored if he had a truthful approach to who is a boxer, but for different silly reasons, he wants to be a tough guy & talk crazy to opponents- he wants to be feared and not loved for being a technician, and he will not take accountability for the backlash. All in all: people sour on you when you constantly talk bigger than your what your production is.
naw people are hung up on the “boring”
he needs a stop his next fight
he needed it this time
💯
22-0. 3 division champ.
Yep you can't say you will k.o. some one and don't.
@@bryanboone3875 💯
Bradley is not lying man. He not only see what we see as fans, he also "Hears" first hand of what business suits think of Shakur. Why would Bradley have to lie. Shakur insulting Bradley for no reason, and truth is. Shakur aint above Bradley, and Bradley is already in the Hall of Fame. Shakur still got to get there. Bradley should be an allie, but it seem Shakur running off wise men by being unwilling to listen, and just incapable of taking criticism. Thats a sign of immaturity on Shakur part. Look! No one is saying Shakur is not a great fighter, and he is not talented. In no way shape of form. Shakur issues is his "Mouth" and Inability to take criticism. One thing about the internet. The people in it smell blood. Shakur showing weakness in the wrong place. "THE FANS". You need to sit down, and think Shakur. A wise man told me when I was young. "Dont build everything up, just to tear it down with your mouth." No cap. Shakur need to understand what that mean. Slow down youngsta. You taking it too personal. (Golden Nugget) Change the lingo in your presser, and take a "Fast" from social media. All the way up until your next fight. I promise you young bull. You will see results. But arguing with "We The Fans" homie. Its gone make it hard for folks to have an "emotional buy in" to purchase your PPV during inflation."If" that is your goal. Its on you big dawg. BUT It would behoove you. To let the Fan war go. Blessings to you Shakur. Wish you the best!
Tim is going to always keep it real. He doesn't follow the crowd. Yet ppl don't like the truth these days 🤦🏾♂️
You hit it right on the nail good assessment bro
@@swahjones4706 at the end of the day these young men don’t know a world without socials where anyone with an opinion can post it where you can see. It’s easy to say ignore it but it’s nothing something you have to deal with. He should handle it in the ring, however if he wants to do differently that’s his choice. If he fights the fights with the big names attached people will tune in if not for no other the reason than to see he lose
Great post and easily the golden nugget Shakur needs to see/take in, you pinpointed things perfectly. Unfortunately your assessment won’t see past the YT comment section. But I wish this somehow caught his attention and he would internalize it.
spot on
He was on his side the whole fight until he couldn't be anymore
He was on his side for a round, than he started acting weird af😂
@@joe3rd403This the same dude that's been claiming Shakur would easily beat Tank. So let's not act like he's weird bc he was critical for 1 fight.
@@WillWilliams-vo4nkright 🎯
@@joe3rd403 So, he really was being himself. TB is weird. Smh.
@@joe3rd403Bradley was getting tired
I literally just ran into Tim Bradley at EWR airport Sunday morning. We discussed Tank vs Shakur and Loma vs Tank. Very cool guy.
If shakur beat a pound for pound fighter in the fashion he’s been fighting that would be fine. It’s the fact that he’s fighting C+ fighters & can’t finish them or hurt them that has everyone doubting him. The fact that he couldn’t drop Artem is puzzling.
Only C+ fighters will fight him. Top fighters know they will lose. Shakur is stuck in a conundrum. I like your post.
@@mrcain4916 He has the ability to fix that conundrum with his damn hands! If he would have stopped artem maybe guys would be willing to take a pay cut to fight him. Shakur is a B- fighter in my eyes. You have to have power at the top level. Tank would destroy this kid in 6 rounds. Even frank martin dropped & hurt artem.
@@mrcain4916 ortiz called him multiple times,and he much better than artiom he fighted in last fight.shakur refused
@@HumbleHtx my problem with SS, like you say, is his unwillingness to throw his hands from fear of getting KO'd himself, IMO. I don't feel you need power but it definitely helps. I felt that if he listened to his coach/trainer he could have at least got the stoppage. Instead he kept doing the same stuff and we got that uninteresting fight. Shakur is like having a Ferrari and only going 40mph, still winning, but could be winning sensationally. Fans and his opponents lose. Wanted so much more from the dude but it is what it is. Thank you for the reply
@@tadasblinda8708 Yeah he is a better opponent than Artem for sure. SS was still thinking he was going to get that next rung on the ladder up turning down Ortiz. I think Shakur is in need of a reality check. If he turns down Ortiz after this last fight I don't know what to say. Either way he needs to be more active. I say all that but I also say that those top names (not all but most) are using the "he is a boring fight" in order to duck him cause he would beat them, cause if SS get's clipped he is going to get on that bicycle and out point them and cruise to a victory cause they just can't hit him. His skill is undeniable but there is no willingness to engage. I don't think him and Tank ever fight. Like and respect your thoughts and words.
No Lies Were Told In This Interview 💯
Shakur is not busy enough. He doesn’t have to knock folks out but throw more combos - ala Ali, SRL or Pretty Boy.
@@iloveyou281000money through way more than Shakur
Pretty boy knocked ppl out lol
@@iloveyou281000had to get to being Money May .. he didn’t come in the sport fighting like that AT ALL! He earned it and he still ain’t run like Shakur lol
@@1derPuckexactly
He threw 500+ how much more busy do you want him to be?
Shakur needs a good pr honestly because social media is going to ruin his brand
Is going??? IMO he already did
Facts
Already did lmao
Bingo!! He needs to stop talking so much and just fight.
None of these new guys should be running their own social media.
Boxing fans don’t only just want to see wild swinging to get knockouts like Wilder. We still want to see extremely high skill and talent, and fights that end in knockouts are awesome, especially when spending hard earned money on the fight. Tank is powerful and usually knocks people out, but in no way is he unskilled and wildly swinging. Tank has immense talent and skills!!
Tim normally be glazing Shakur so to see him finally keep it real is awesome
Ironically it only happened because it was Shakur’s last fight with top tank. That’s who Tim is representing. He’s a bias Company man..
@@IshbikesIkr 🤣
@@Ishbikestalking about shakur should’ve stayed patient and loyal😂😂like do you see what Bob and top rank on?!!
Shakur took a shot at his KO ratio so his feelings are hurt! 😅
He isnt keeping it real😂😂😂not with those name drops and disrespects he threw ,he is trying to cope hard shakur is nothing like those men ,its not the same
😆 🤣 😂 I don't understand why anyone believes Shakur can beat Tank... Shakur still fights like an amateur, and he's slow with a long torso that Tank will ultimately punish. Whatever Shakur can do, Tank can do better
Beat him …maybe
Beat him up helllll no lol
Shakur beats you like he a pro
I don’t understand why Tank is not fighting Shakur next 🦆
@@PristineSportsNetworkhe’s not a ppv attraction $$$$$ and it’s being explained in
This video he’s good but boring
Shakira is not a paper view attraction. He's worse than Devin Haney 😂😂
I don’t even wanna watch him fight tank right now until I see something better
That was his last fight, that’s why Tim is talking like this. Remember, he was the main one caping for shakur
Shakur needs to fight some of the guys Tank has already beaten like Pitbull Cruz and Frank Martin. He needs to raise his stock cause it’s in the ground right now.
Fr..ain't no 1 under 25 fights ready for Tank
If he Beata Tank what you gonna say then?
@@PredatorKingdom He won't
As much as i find tim bradley a bit annoying as a commentator hes speaking pure facts here 😂
If only Tim could be this fair to Tank. It's crazy how quick he will judge Tank and spread misinfo. But he'll defend Shakur even while criticizing him.
Mannnn U see how carefully he’s choosing his words when talking about shakur bro it’s crazy 😂
Can’t believe he said that about sugar and pernell 🛑
Both of those fighters would have torn him a new one. News flash! I don't think Tim would beat Shakur. It would be a boring ass whooping
Yeah... That was crazy
Yeah, he made a bad point with those two although I get what he was trying to say. Today's fans would never boo Pernell or Leonard at no point during a 12 round bout. Tim is still a great boxing analyst tho, but I disagree with that point
Shakur will never be a SRL or Pernell, so that's the only part I disagree with. What he's saying is fans will say they're running. Pernell lost many decisions in fights he won, because of his style let's not forget that.
@@CoachQ773Why is it crazy? I’m Sugar’s biggest fan but nowadays guys that dance around are not very appealing. Now Sugar could flip that switch and get after anybody, but all that stuff on the bicycle probably wouldn’t be appealing now. Sugar got props for it because he followed Ali’s era and that’s how Ali fought…and Ali was appealing to almost everyone. Different era now bruh…none of the elite fighters nowadays who are extremely entertaining fight like that.
this was actually a really good and honest interview from Bradley....
Na bro, sugar ray moved in with so much finesse and dude had feints for days, shakur just backs up in a straight line and clinches. Then he only throws one punch at a time. Sugar ray would dominate in ANY era. Shakur is better than most guys, but hes no where near the best. De los santos has so much more to offer than shakur, but shakur is the hypejob theyve invested in.
You support roid users
Shakur problems is he's not busy enough. He can box his style, but he needs to throw more punch.
Tim didn’t had punching power when he was a boxer of course he going to support him
Tim Bradley is completely right, we boxing fans are getting smarter and are not going to be fooled into thinking that running is fighting. Speaking of MMA, the only way to stop a runner is to grapple and you can't in boxing.
I felt Tim was fair during this fight, I’ve seen him be very biased before but this wasn’t one of those times
I’m going to start a goFundme to get Bradley new knee pads.
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your comment is funny about kneepads
S/o Tim Bradley 💯💪🏿🥊🇺🇲🥶👑 Great Champion
Knee pads is crazy 😂😂😂
Nobody today will boo Sugar Or Sweet Pea stop it Timothy they threw hands
Yes they would because Sweet Pea spent years being more defensive than offensive, Sugar Ray, idk. Hell, Rigandoux was just like sweet pea and they wouldn’t fight him and fans called him boring. He had to go up too far in weight to get fights.
Naw Sweet Pea defense was exciting and then he would strike like a viper with a 4 punch combination
If you boo sugar ray don’t watch boxing lol his style was sick
@@realife1542 He would be one of the most hated boxers these days.
@@realife1542
Agreed, Sugar Ray was stopping dudes and was exciting, I can see them booing Pernell Whitaker though.
Tank DOESN’T NEED to fight Shakur! What do he get out of that? IN FACT, Tank sent that boy a contract offer he turned it down. Stop acting like Shakur the boggy man. That’s Tank.
He does NEED to I don't wanna see tank vs bums anymore
Imagine if there was footage of canelo or any other Mexican fighter beating on a female in a parking lot with his friends. For dam sure they wouldn't have a boxing career but here you have shakur not only turning his back on top rank despite top rank supporting him shakur has the audacity to accuse top rank of racism. Its not only shakur who's a problem its his supporters like Tim Bradley who dont tell him the truth and act like they don't know the real reason why top fighters won't fight shakur
I mean to be fair tim did tell him some Truth right here
@@chavinho7793 he told him the obvious truth that can't be hidden anymore and then went right back into his turtle shell when it came to what he should have told him.
@@user-xg8zt1uf6d well it needed to be said
It’s not that people want to see Shakur get hit more or just all out brawl but would like to see him take a coupe chances because he has skill
🎯...agreed
Bradley said the same thing then later talked about the Provodnikov fight. Dude said his speech was slurred for months and he’s still dealing with complications from that fight. And that fight was 2013
He Doesn't Have The Skill To Take A Punch For The K.O. I Think He Should Fight His Fight Cause Nothing Else Is Going To Work For Him.
Yeah but that's the risk you take in this sport. You can't swim without getting wet. Even Floyd got hit a few times underrated chin@@tcincali9642
@@tcincali9642 what's that got to do with it? You can take chances without getting in brawls like Bradley did with provodnikov that is a once in a lifetime type fight.. Shakur is acting like a scared little girl while fighting Harutunyan an unknown German guy LOL
I don’t wanna see shakur knock anyone out. I just wanna see him throw punches in bunches, putting his punches together more
which would oddly enough, probably result in him getting more ko's🤦🏿♂🤦🏿♂
@@remyogun8270He has to be willing to eat a few more shots though. Maybe he knows he has a weak chin and is protecting it.
That’s what leads to knockouts 🤦🏾♂️
Word! If you’re not going to KO anyone, make a MF quit on the stool because you putting an MF beating on them. Floyd got Gatti’s team to throw the towel. That’s what I need
And if he did he would have stopped Artem. Yet he's afraid to get hit 🤷🏾♂️
Shakur, keep doing you. The minute you change to meet someone else's preference is the minute you get knocked out. The majority of hate is coming from Hispanic fans, who aren't Shakur's fan base, and Tank's fans, who are only hating because Shakur and Tank are rivals. Keep doing you, Shakur.
Shakur is Hispanic 🤡
Your just here to instigate shakurs the one saying what he's gonna do before the fight tricking people in to tunning in and never does what he says
It’s was black fans leaving the arena tho
@@user-xg8zt1uf6dlong as he keeps winning and you keep REPLYING to comments
Facts! And on top of that we live in such a follower/hater society that as soon as 1 or 2 ppl started the boring narrative the masses of sheep will jump on it for likes and keep it going. I hate these times
You can't compare Shakira Tweeterson to Sugar Ray Leonard, Pernell Whitaker, or Muhammad Ali... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tim kept it a Thousand. That’s all we can ask for.
Ironically he kept it *100* on Shakur’s last fight with top tank. That’s who Tim is representing. He’s a bias Company man.. Michael Bisbing from ufc is the same type of company man. He didn’t keep shit 100

@@greatesteva8665 he lost easily both times although I was rooting for Tim Bradley. And robbed Manny one fight
Not Tim copping pleas for Top Rank. Top Rank promoted Floyd but Floyd dazzled in the ring he did more than his part.
Hell yeah Bob took care of him he is definitely gonna ride with Bob…
Floyd was unknown to casuals before the de la Hoya fight. Casuals never appreciated good boxing skills just want to see knockouts
@@alwaysrite411 I lived during that time Floyd was in fact not unknown to casuals.
Floyd was a winner but didn't really dazzle. The two things that sky rocked his career were beating Oscar De La Hoya and marketing himself as a villain on HBO 24/7. Both were brilliant moves.
What's worse this "company man" is pushing the same narrative hr hated hearing about himself. True hypocrite. You couldn't do what Shakur does or you would've Bradley.
Tim B that was a honest and unbiased statement!!! I appreciate your style of commentary and then you come on a show and stand on business!!!! Salute 🫡 Tim Bradley!!
Great interview and great advice & I Pray and hope Shakur listens to the logical in this because this can really benefit his career and life going forward.
Tim showed his true colors he does not like Ryan, Teo, or Tank he hates them fighters
Why would he hate them
I don't think Shakur is boring I actually enjoyed watching him fight. I'm just a fan of boxing one of my favorite fighters Chris Byrd and Sweet Pea, I'm a Roy Jones jr supporter as well but I just like watching Boxing period
More power to you …I Fell Sleep😂😂I know im not paying for this Boring Shitt😅😅
I remember when Ike Ibeabuchi beat Byrd’s ass lol
@@eduardoperez3149the fight was free it's Top Rank promotions 😂😂😂 Top Rank have Keyshawn Davis, Boots Ennis, Shakur Stevenson careers going to waste because they can't make fights.
@FIELDRaw3 You have no idea what you're talking about. Boots was affiliated with the PBC and now he's with Matchroom.
I love the way he fights. True skills. People don’t know how hard it is to avoid punches from another trained professional! Movement is not running
Sometimes it appears Shakur is still in sparring mode.
Honestly his sparring is better than his fights
Shakur washed someone for 12 rounds. He is only called "boring" because he doesn't get hit. If he got hit more then he'd be more exciting? Ridiculous. People are watching BOXING. If you wany a slugfest watch BKFC or slap fest or w/e. People just want him to LOSE. That wack ass narrative that only slugfest are exciting is bs. When Loma, Bivol or Sunny Edward's do the same it's called MASTERCLASS but when Shakur or Haney do they're boring. GTFOOH
No because he talks like he’s a body snatcher and THAT guy and goes into the ring and throws no punches and is always on his back foot
@@FMM45right. People are more critical of Shakur bc of all that talking he does. Like he’s some killer. Then goes in the ring and fights like an amateur. Fighting to out-point you.
@FMM45 shakur talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk , he couldn't even drop Artem which is disgraceful
@jimcalhounpsychiatrist5973 Really? Winning 12 rounds so easily that it looks like a mismatch aint shit huh? There is literally No One else doing what he does at this level go bring your hating nonsense somewhere else. That shit won't fly here.
@@FMM45 Bro Landed almost 200 punches. Landed. And walked forward 85% of that fight. You're just repeating bs you hear on Twitter.
Bradley is one of the few people who like Shakur over tank though
Bradley knows Shakur can't beat Tank after the Harutyunyan fight reality has set listen to his excuses and body language,give him time he's going to give it up smooth lol
Bradley is bias. He doesn't like Tank personally. He's not looking at the match up between the two objectively.
Tanks gonna need the stoppage which is possible but shakur can also get a early 4-1 5-1 lead and be able to stay away from the fire long enough and sneak a couple rounds after that. The middle rounds of that fight will be interesting
@@realife1542
Doubt it
@@realife1542what if tank fights him like he did Pittbull?
Why do people pretend like tank can’t throw a lot of punches?
Shakur needs to look how abdula Mason is approaching his fights Mason is slick and powerful in there he's boxing inside the pocket and outside the pocket and his countering is on point his style of fighting is exciting to watch there's a way to fight in that style and Mason is that guy to study if I'm shakur he's not as experienced as shakur but I'd rather pay to see Mason in action
I love Mason great young prospect, but he fighting the bottom of the barrel right now come on now, look at Shakur first 15 fights he was stopping people also
Been trying to tell mfs mason is who they trying to convince us shakur is
Its comparing apples to oranges. Mason is a prospect fighting showcase fights right now. Shakur is fighting elite caliber competition
Abdullah mason ain’t even taken a solid shot on the chin yet for people to be talking about him the way they do. Kids got skills but don’t compare him to guys who are already establishing themselves. I believe once tanks trainer gave Abdullah mason the co sign all of tanks fanboys are now on masons jock. Smh. This is strange era of boxing fans.

Great way to put it in reality perspective for the fans and how we feel and our choices in who we watch. Excellent observation Sir.
Bradley was trash as a fighter in real life. Shakur is not what they’re pumping him up to be he’s good, but he’s not as good as everyone say he is Bradley says he’s good because he’s better than Bradley ever was
Sharkur ain’t fought one fighter we thought would beat him. He’s scared to get hit its obvious him and Devin have been exposed

This is the best and truthful interview that you gave so far how about Shakur Stevenson
Thank you Tim!! Shakur is a excellent "Boxer" but he is afraid to Fight. He's scared to get hit. No dog is afraid to get bit. We talked about this @SeanZittel
Tank, and Terrance Crawford have got us spoiled to their skill sets, and their abilities to KO most of their opponents. When boxers like Shakur, and Devin Haney who are excellent boxers get in the ring and can't deliver like Tank & Bud, they look like amateurs therefore they're being HIGHLY criticized. And let's face it, popularity puts butts in the seats. If these guys aren't pleasing the fans they're not making money.
Haney has the dog in him though shakur doesn't
No dog in him
Not AT ALL!!
Exactly Shakur could’ve finished off his opponent in like the 6th round when he had the chance but instead he let him off the hook and want to argue with his trainer and not listen to him especially when he told his corner he was gonna stop him.
yall out here talking crazy
@hectorreyes8867. Bottom Line!!
None‼️
Naw fuck that sugar ray Pernell and Floyd Ali won’t get booed don’t try that shit to big up Shakur yall gotta stop that shit 💯💯
real talk 100%
They talked bad about floyd aswell b4 he retired
Floyd did get booed they all said they ran. Real boxing knows know greatness
Floyd got booed sometimes.
Floyd got boo’d so did Terence bud Crawford and Andre ward lol what all of them got in common they all great
He's a free agent now, if he really wants these fights, _he_ needs to make it happen. Floyd let Oscar pick the weight, the ring size, the gloves, the venue, the date, the ref, the judges AND took less money. He understood what it would do for his career.

Actually he wont make it because he doesnt sell and his numbers are dropping a lot, eventually people wont be paying and he'll be screwed. I dont wish for the young man to fail BUT its his mouth that writes checks his ass cant cash. This is his own fault
Shakur is boring af. Not a ppv attraction. Feed him to tank and let's get over this hype job.
What I been saying
Feed him to Pitbull
Istg
Shakur doesn't throw enough punches for us fans it's called a fight not a defense. Tickets and the pay per view is expensive. He thought people would let him skate to number one fighter without being entertaining.
Shakur needs a strength a conditioning coach focus on strength and power, he needs to believe in himself and go for the Knockout.
Tim always saying someone needs to knock someone out and he literally had 13 KO's his whole professional career
To be fair, he took chances, traded and fought tho.🥊🥊
H. O. F you no shit about boxing
Watch the video. He explained that.
He addressed this in this video @@RaphaelAshanti
And that’s why y he can tell him what the fans want. No rush no reward.
Shakur got no killer in him
REAL boxing conversations
Good channel
Great interviews
I am not a Tim Bradley fan at all but I have to give him his respect for keeping it all the way 💯 in this video.
Tim doesn't understand the fans...Ali was entertaining even when he was being defensive and would never get boo'd today. Sugar ray knew how to finish opponents with punches in bunches and would never get boo'd because we don't boo fighters who fight like that currently. Everyone know Tim loves Shakur but shakur is stunnted as a boxer and with his own skill set. Unfortunately shakur doesn't look like a fighter most people will support because he is literally afraid to take chances since he went up in weight.
He's not scared,he's just overconfident and childish. He's amazing and has to figure out how to market himself in and outside of the ring. He's also sensitive,so was Ali who surrounded himself with different minded people who could give him emotional support along with tough love and support during the hardest fights. This is a different generation today who don't know they're going in reverse without a cause. This foundation today is on shaky ground however they will find their way and will do just fine. Come on Shakur,this chance comes around only once in a lifetime. Figure it out like all of the greats who came before. It's hard doing what you make look easy. Respect your Grandfather,that's a helluva burden for you to be carrying.
Also his personality is shit
Tim you know you ain't nothing but a company man .
Why wouldn’t he be ? U ain’t paying his bills . Shakur ain’t paying his bills .

Bradley is stating the obvious. Not hard to do.
Lol im so confused. When he was calling the fight he was making every excuse possible to explain why the fight wasn't boring. Doing his best to not talk shyt about shukar. Lol now he flipped to the other side while podcasting. Something really wierd about Bradley. Shoulda said all this shyt on live tv the other day
@@mikerhem1273he said she was trying to be nice about it. He was trying to make Shakur look bad on air
Nice to see Bradley not being biased fair play 👏 👍 👌 solid interview
I fell asleep listening to Bradley.
I fell asleep watching Shakur Stevenson
The attention span these days is slim
@@MajorChipHazard16 😂
He talked facts
@HatersHaveOpinion1 both can be true
Shakur is good but he’s not fan friendly fighter people that don’t understand boxing will find him boring people that do understand boxing will find him boring. He’s definitely not doing any pay-per-view. Nobody would watch people get upset watching and when the fight is free, imagine they have to pay lol
has nothing to do with this pretentious horseshit of "not understanding boxing". Shakur is boring b/c he fights too safe and conservative...he has no heart and
people can see that
Most experts that I've seen have never denied Shakurs skill set, they just want to see him take it to the next level with his aggression which he is fully capable of. He's just too cautious right now.
I don’t blame a fighter for not wanting to fight some one who wants to put you to sleep and out score you especially if the opponent is good. The better the opponent the more boring the fight will be. You can tell when he’s in there against some talent because his temperament and intensity decreases! He gets in survival mode like he claimed artem did.
Video of him beating up them females in Miami parking lot you'd think he got a kill switch but seeing him use his energy to argue with his trainer instead of following instructions and going for stoppage is zesty behavior what kinda Champion goes back and forth with cornerman during a fight regardless but on top of that his coach was giving him SOUND advice is Shakur IQ so good he don't need cornerman eyes 👀🤯 I don't know what they see in him Shakur got Silver medal Mayweather got Bronze and Ward got Gold but pride is always the beginning of the end and anger rest in the belly of a Fool Mayweather would never argue with his corner and he TBE even in Pac fight when his father said he was fighting scared Ward would never and Ward was really shook up when he got ROCKED against Kovalev but his Trusted he corner so much Hunter was able to get through to him with that legendary corner talk and Ward DELIVERED too much respect and honor to even think to argue Crawford would never go back and forth with BoMac during a fight he talk with his jab and combinations BUD goes out and stops the fight actions speak louder than words especially during a boxing match character is important and Shakur disrespecting his corner is huge character flaw even if they in wrong but his corner was telling him right and it was his own Grandfather making it worse no respect for his own Elders on national TV I can't see him keeping his 0 Can't blame people for walking out fight early I'm happy with money I spent on fight though cause Keyshawn Snapped and went for stoppage didn't get it but Great performance Foster should've won but idk I hope he learn his lesson yes his defense is masterful beautiful to watch but that's NOT BOXING the Sweet Science is about making em Miss and Making him PAY look at Mayweather perfect defense but he don't just roll shoulder only and stand in pocket WORKING Mayweather make em miss but come back with right hand and stab jabs to body the hurt business working on inside not just slipping and dodging
@@enegron6987 💯💯💯 And yea Mason look special 🥶
Shakira should fight clarissa.....THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING 😂😂
@@barryedgerton6685 🤣💯
@@barryedgerton6685 the man didn't even give Honor to God after fight that's another Character flaw in my book Shakur ain't like he don't need God or a cornerman is crazy
Learn how to use commas and full stops fool
That’s why ppl respect Teo, he takes chances❕
SS should fight his style. Having said that, we don’t have to tune in.
My thing is this Shakur built his name up by fighting the same way his whole career so why are people bitchin now people put shakur up there wit the best boxers in the game with him fighting the same way his whole career I feel like it’s an agenda
That’s actually not true … He actually dropped people at 126-130 . At 135 he is very hesitant to let his hands go Because he’s afraid of what might come back. He’s a much more defensive fighter at 135.
@@REDDSBULLDOGSOFFICIALLies and goes to show you aunt really watching Shakur. He has fought legit the same way. The competition in the other weight classes was just lower. Shakur isn't scared to get hit either but why should he want to get hit? His job is to hit and not get hit back
I think it’s more of as the fans we see he is ah step above his competition so we’re expecting him to step on da gas and really piece these guys
@@animedebo8183 lies ? His first fight at 135 he broke a record for the least amount of punches thrown and landed in the history of boxing and his second fight he got boo’d in his home town because he couldnt hurt nor drop the guy that frank martin made take a knee. At 126-130 shakur definitely dropped guys with combinations wtf are you talking about im a shakur fan myself, your just such a fannboy you don’t live in reality you just think everybody attacking your fav fighter lmao get off his nuts lil bro
Have u been under a rock? Now that Shakur has been saying he is the best, fans want to see him show he is the best.
Zittel about to get the most candid interviews from the Boxing world
Company man Bradley
Exactly
You’re a clown. Shakur blaming everybody but himself for his performance. I like Timothy Bradley take on Shakur.
I clipped on this video to hear him protect Shakur. Then I forgot that was his last fight at top tank, so Tim is like *well, he’s not with us anymore & I still need to work*
Why not they paying him you would do the same smh 😂
@chavinho7793 I wouldn't, but that's just me. I guess.
Damn good interview this was great information wow
We know what the other fighters see that would give them problems, Its not Shakur's speed, it is not his power, it not his aggression So what is it then?? Nobody wants to risk losing to Shakur just because they can't catch him, that's an annoying way to lose.
Tim don’t deserve to be in the HOF or a commentator he bias af
So true
I used to respect him bc he's a former boxer and I want them to make more ex boxers commentators, but dude is ridiculous sometimes I can't stand to hear him anymore. He just sat his aas here and said I love how shakur stand in the pocket and stands right in front of his opponent and make em miss and make em pay......nigga where!?? Shakur is the pocket maybe 60 secs in total thru a whole 12 round fight. Idk what tim be smoking
What video are you watching he was complimentary of shakur an he was critical of him also what was he supposed to do totally bash shakur like everyone else, he won the fight so can't totally bash him but there is alot he needs to work on, those are the facts ,an that's what he spoke facts.
I love Shakur’s technical skills but he needs to hit the weight room and work on his actual strength and punching power on some shaolin monk/thai boxer type shit or he won’t be able to punch with Tank in the pocket when the pressures on.
So shakur ain’t stop his first opponent at 135?? Nobody will beat shakur he’s the best boxer at 135 not the most powerful
@@hbamcashonly5516 true but when you face someone with ring iq, Technicality and power it’s not gonna go in your favor yk
You can’t teach power.
Tactically shakur shouldn’t be trying to punch with tank in the pocket. Shakur best chance of winning is to stay on the outside and keep tank and the end of his punches.
@@ThrowEmBack I think you can. You teach power through the technique and fundamentals of throwing a punch properly. The more you work at it the harder you will punch. But that doesn’t mean you will have natural concussing power like a ko artist. Those type of guys are born with that power.
His PR is what he does in the ring. He has the skill set to stand in the pocket and not get hit. And still be able to put hands on dudes. But he's afraid of getting hit. No one cares if he gets hit or not. What they care about is that he has the skill set to put hands on guys without getting touched. But the further he gets into his career. The more he fears getting hit.
This is well needed shakur will only get better guys just be patient people who know boxing sees the potential in shakur
Tim acting like he wasn't a SNOOZE FEST during his boxing career. The nerve of these clowns.
In conclusion, it was boring.
Like he Was BETTER THAN SHAKUR!!! 🙄🙄🚮
Tim Bradley was a dog wth you talking bout? Dude had some great wars.
@@ismaelbarrera6017 yeah they got tim messed up, had a great chin, tim was def in some fire fights, and got clipped a few times and still stood there trading blows.
Man go back and watch Tim. I don’t like dude at all but he was entertaining af.
Does Bradley’s knees hurt from all that Shakur glazing?
What?
He don’t feel them things anymore from jumping from Shakira to bud 😂🎉
Shakur does the best to his abilities he's just not that dude or like his trunks says "him",good but not great
His knees and jaw bones
I get pushing fighters but espn shoves these garbage narratives down their viewers throat… Shakur isn’t the bigger guy anymore so finally his deficiencies are showing he can’t cut the ring off or put more than 2 punches together
shakur said he was a C level fighter and he was going to stop him…he show more aggression on twitter..nobody said he had to knock bro out these guys keep putting words in our mouths…we want the fight to be entertaining…real boxing fans know you can be defensive and still entertaining
That was smooth Shaun w/ the Tiger Johnson scenario and showing the double standard Tim sayin the fans ain't gonna pay your hospital bills, yet when it comes to Kur "you gotta perform" so which one is it??
He ain’t no Ryan. He doesn’t really want all the smoke
Shakur the only fighter that the fans n pros gotta give an explanation on why he performed the way he did!
not true, lol, he is winning fights, thats all he NEEDS to do, wtf 😂
He’s overrated he is fighting real live cab drivers lol I would like to see shakur fight Frank that’s a good fight for him
Facts I agree With Tim B on this one ☝🏽 & good outlook & interview Sean 💪🏽
Fighting is supposed to be violence not a dance contest or pity pat it is what it is
Shakur is the master of the basics, the matter of the amateur style.
Bradley is dropping straight jewels in this interview. Hope y'all are listening. But, y'all probably not!
Bro ppl hate him so much their not listening.
We know all of this. Shakur is boring. Bradley can’t save him.
I loved this dialogue...💯
I hope these young "Kings" take this & use this advice...(DING-DING 🥊)
Being somebody who played sports from a young age, alot of ppl in that world, especially the elite ones don't grow up until they hit some resistance of some kind in their respective arena. He ain't even gotta lose, getting dropped or rocked might b jus what he need 💯
If Tank fought like Shakur, Tim Bradley would hate on him so bad.
Tim never hates on someone who boxes he’s not a casual who thinks knockouts the only way someone can win matches
@@bobharris7447tank can box and knock you out what’s your point? Maybe if Shakur stfu and fight wouldn’t be a problem he told dude not to run and still couldn’t stop em
@@CEOTOON who said he couldn’t ? I know I actually watch boxing and I box. And so what he didn’t stop him he put up a good performance
@@bobharris7447 not equal to all the shit he was talking before the fight artem doesn’t go 5 with Abdullah mason or tank AND Keyshawn would’ve stopped em late
@@CEOTOONfacts
Blaming MMA on fans not being engaged with a technical fight is a cop out for his boy😂 how the HOF teach Shakira to be more aggressive and he becomes less aggressive in the fight 😂???
Facts😂😂 and saying MMA fighters have no technique is crazy yeah they don't have the same technique as boxers but that's because you have to worry about so many different things. I would like Tim to get in the ring with a retired MMA fighter and see how well his technique does when the other guy is calf kicking you every 10 seconds😂😂 I bet he don't last a round
Comparing sweat pea to shakur is crazy
One thing yall forget besides skill and IQ is can u handle that spotlight. Tank lives in it. Shakur last 2 fights with the most eyes on him he shrunk. He is not ready for other reasons besides skill!!!
