Shakur has a very good understanding of boxing, distance, striking, timing, defense, very text book. He will make a perfect coach in future.

[DivineNiiji]

Real boxing fans appreciate the skill level Shakur has. He’s probably gonna end undefeated.

[dondada]

Shakur haters “all Shakur did was run” so roidldez face got beat up by the air or what ? 😂

[envopdt]

Shakur - Lomachenko That will be very very interesting and hot fight !!!!

[wayneoo]

i rewatch this fight so much i love shakurs style his stance punch style everything

[MrReav]

Has Valdez heard of jabbing? Like come on. Throwing bombs without setting them up makes it too easy for a defensive, skilled fighter like Stevenson to avoid. You can't fight at the top level without a consistent effective jab... terrible strategy to just throw nothing but power shots at a slick southpaw who is taller than you...

[deeman]

Shakurs timing and movement is unreal!! He may not be the most exciting boxer for the casuals but if u know ur boxing... Loma and Shakur are a glimpse back to the golden era!!!

[nanmanledamtong]

Yes it's called boxing, .... Hit and don't be hit Submitting your face for pounding, then when all is said and done you end up with Parkinson's and can't enjoy your money is Look at Valdez 's face after the fight and tell me about

[MrBri]

Every Hispanic commenter calls Shakur a runner. Can you all please stop this behavior? Don't worry about what nationality the boxer is.

[Lilmoobaby]

When bro tried to get up off the ropes and Shakur put him back down. 😫🤯🤯

[Iso.Ny]

When I look at shakur throwing punches and landed them it doesn’t even look like he’s trying to punch hard😂

[brucejohnson]

People acting like you suppose to stand still and get punched in the face in body!

[notoriousslim]

Even his face was yelling Stevenson beat me down 🥊 Big Win I'm glad they hate it 🤫

[elmagnus]

They hate a slick boxer. They used to hate on Floyd too lol HIT AND NOT GET HIT is boxing! These clowns think you boxing if it look like A Rocky movie. Blow for blow all head shots lol😂🤣😭

[LuisAcosta-cyvp]

Shakur fans hyping him up for this fight …Valdez was the one engaging all shakur did was counter and back up

[Commentreferee]

Tank will beat Shakur….i just don’t think he has enough to compete with tank…

[moneycryptocurrency]

Tank will lose to shakur if he fights him.

[joshuaguzman]

Oscar valdez is better than anyone Tank has fought

[serggr]

Wonder why Shakira is scared of de Los Santos 🤔 😅

[JackKase-tndi]
