This might turn to be a cherrypick gone wrong for Shakur. Conceicao imo beat Valdez 8-4 and got robbed on the cards.

Fans want to see Shakur fight the beasts in the division in Hector Garcia and Joe Cordona. They're the real challenges at 130. I don't wanna see Shakur fight bums anymore.

Hahah!! I called it!! I called it!! Maybe not on this particular forum (or maybe I did!), but I had said that this will be Shakur's next fight, and it's a fight that I would love to see. This fight will go one of two ways: Either they sit across the ring and stare at one another or it's a no-holds-barred affair. Conceicao can punch man. Let's see how Shakur does now. This is a real fight.

That's nice dear

Solid fight, probably the best, reasonable option right now for Shakur. Stevenson gets a homecoming and maybe they can get some of the Brazilian contingent in NYC to come out

[PBR Streetgang]

I think this could be a deceptively tricky fight for Shakur. I expect him to win but wouldn't be surprised if Robson can make it a relatively competitive fight (at least win some rounds). He's shown some durability and skills along with decent power and length.

I might go to this one.

Not no sure I would've made this fight coming off a win over Valdez. Robinson boxed pretty damn well in the first half of his fight with Valdez and has the intangibles to make this an ugly,boring but possibly close affair. Not a matchup that is going to create any fireworks which will do him no favors towards the casual viewers imo.

Bob Arum refused to entertain the idea of Shakur unifying the division by fighting the other “unknown” belt holders. He said they weren’t known names nor did they bring anything to the table. Even though those fights would be for all the marbles before Shakur moves up to 135 inevitably.

Boxing would be much better off when this old senile geezer kicks the “gloves”.
