Shakur Stevenson predicted this week that Floyd Schofield would pull out of their battle on Saturday evening, and he was appropriate. Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) predicted Schofield would pull out as a result of he was “scared,” however followers aren’t shopping for it. They assume he was arrange.
Schofield Afraid of Shakur?
‘Child Austin’ Schofield is getting too huge of a payday to tug out of a battle in opposition to a lightweight puncher with glass fingers. It’s not plausible that he backed out due to worry. The unusual a part of Shakur predicting forward of time was that this could occur as a result of how may he anticipate one thing like that so precisely? Schofield didn’t have a historical past of pulling out of his fights. So, why would a weak puncher like Shakur instantly assume he would pull out and stroll away from a career-high payday?
If any individual set Schofield as much as get him out of the battle, that’s so unhealthy. The factor is, it brings a darkish cloud round Shakur now as a result of it was his opponent. That will have been a very harmful battle for Stevenson as a result of this man can punch, and he’d mess up his hopes of getting that huge payday in opposition to Gervonta Davis. Even when Shakur received, his recognition would nosedive if he ran from Schofield for 12 rounds. Along with his energy, we probably would have seen a variety of working.
I’m really scared they’re not going to point out up for the battle, and all this work I’m placing in now. They’re on the lookout for an excuse. They’re on the lookout for a approach out, ” Shakur Stevenson stated on the All The Smoke YouTube channel, suspecting forward of time the potential of Floyd Schofield pulling out of their battle on Saturday.
The way in which Shakur talked made him sound like a harmful fighter to keep away from, but it surely didn’t appear plausible that Child Austin would pull out in opposition to a weak puncher like him. We’ve already seen many instances how Shakur fights when he faces somebody with energy. He runs across the ring. He doesn’t stand and battle. Schofield is among the greatest punchers within the light-weight division, and he’s not given off worry vibes.
Shakur remains to be on Saturday’s card on February twenty second however might be preventing certainly one of two delicate opponents being thought of. These two are Josh Padley and Moussa Gholam. It’s unclear if Stevenson’s purse would be the identical or if it’ll be diminished to mirror him preventing a lower-level opponent.
