Why is Stevenson such a big favourite for this . I think this will be a close fight

[Ruthless-RKO]

This feels like Shakur’s first world title fight.

But if he wins this, he’s already a 2-weight world champion

I don't think Stevenson has lost a round as a pro. Herring is decent but not special. The Frampron fight flatters him. Carl was shot

[NoScoutingReports]

Hoping Herring can pull this off, top bloke and a solid fighter but I feel Shakur will get the job done via decision - he isn't fan friendly but he's an effective boxer. Got to be one of the thinnest undercards to a world title show ever? Fingers crossed the main event doesn't disappoint.

Old school crossover right here; if Shakur is as good as some people think he should win… if he isn’t he will lose.
Good fight. After Stevenson’s last performance I’d love for Herring to jab his head off.

And we thought some of the UK undercards are poor. Christ.

Is Stevenson mentally underdeveloped? He looks like an absolute nightmare to look after.

Impressive stuff from Stevenson best I've seen him, fought with intent, excellent jab to start the fight, really sharp, landed the left hand and right hooks around the side of the guard, took Herring apart systematically, Herring did improve as the rounds went on but he was still always second best, Stevenson took his foot off the gas a bit but he turned it on in the 10th after the doc checked Herring's eye, a couple clean shots landed and the ref stepped in, no complaints

[Ruthless-RKO]

[Dioufy]

Shakur fought very well… won every round… but what an early stoppage to take a bent from a champion.
Quality skills by SS but I wonder if there’s going to be a lack of power at 130/135lbs.
