But it's slim though, we all know how good Shakur is and he wouldn't let someone deter his goals of fighting for the belt next. So we should lean on Shakur with a big win via ko/tko.
The winning method odds for Shakur to win via knockout should be high because he's not a knockout artist, so it would be profitable if you want to bet that's option. Yoshino haven't lose in any fight and he tend to win via knockout, so it's quite hard to judge how good his chin. I still think Shakur win via decision is high likely to happen, but the odds still not included and if it's not worth, it's better for me to bet via knockout.

Are anyone here surprised by the odds?
I just check on sportsbet and Yoshino is 7:1 underdog. For me I'm, it's expected that this is somewhat be relatively easy fight for Shakur against the Japanese. And Shakur should win here and if he does, as per Bob Arum, he will get the winner of the Loma and Haney fight. So that will be the most compelling fight for Shakur next.

I can't really say if I'm surprised or not because somehow I was already expecting that Yoshino will be a heavy underdog in this fight like a 4:1 odds but 7:1? That's like underestimating Yoshino and just another way of saying that there's no way he can stand up against or defeat Shakur Stevenson. To sum up the upcoming fight, I'm not expecting either from the Japanese boxer because I'm seeing him as more like a local and not used to get in the world stage/ring.
Just good thing though that Shakur Stevenson (granting that he won this bout) will get to fight the winner of Loma-Haney fight. That's what I wanted to see.
Yes, that's the word "underestimated" because the bookies are indeed underestimating Yoshino that his chances to defeat Shakur is little less than slim but what can we do, the bookies surely know the chances as well because this debut fight of Shakur highlights him making a statement as he will going to fight either Lomancheko or Haney soon after this. Same here though, I'm also leaning in-favor of Shakur to win by a way of TKO/KO.
Those handicappers really knows what they do, they are good in what they are doing here so I agree with that odds that they released right now. This is going to be no easy fight though for Shakure because Yoshino wanted to break barriers here and fight in the US and this is his chance as he will have the biggest stage to become known.
But it's slim though, we all know how good Shakur is and he wouldn't let someone deter his goals of fighting for the belt next. So we should lean on Shakur with a big win via ko/tko.

^^ No surprised with that huge odds stack up against the Japanese boxer. He is not well known in the US boxing scene as he just campaign in Japan. Although he has belt to boot, it has nothing as the big competition are in the US.
But who knows what he can do and pull the biggest upset win?
As for Shakur, he should not take his Japanese opponent lightly, still needs to train 100% in this fight and look for the biggest fish later.

Shakur will be the favorite here, its also a home court advantage so this will be a big challenge for Yoshino, both boxer are undefeated so this will be a big pressure to them. Shakur seems to be more fit and active though, if you’ll see his previous matches his aggressiveness is there and a deadly punches are there as well. Who ever wins here will face another big challenge on their next match either with Haney or Loma, so better for them to do their best on this match.
Not sure if there is pressure on Shakur, yeah, he needs to win this fight because it will be in hometown, but he will be facing a somewhat unknown boxer from Japan. I'm not saying that Yoshino is not going to win, but basing on the experience alone of Shakur and Yoshino not exposed, it might be very hard for him to win in US, in my opinion. Yes, whoever wins here, is assured to face the winner of the Loma vs Haney fight. So this is in the mind of Shakur since he wanted to break into the picture and become a champion in another weight class.
Underdog means that you are treated to have low chance of winning.
And even in this community, we all know that Shakur will likely take this W.
And also means that Shuichiro Yoshino chances are not that good against the world champion who vacated his belt because of weight issues, actually, I see this fight as more of Shakur's debut and highlights before he go and pursue the generals of this division. It's no doubt already that Shakur will get defeated in this bout before he can chase titles.
No offense for the Japanese fighter but this bout looks like a good tune-up fight to prepare Shakur for a much bigger bout in the future. In short, just a stepping stone.
Yes, this will be Shakur's debut and we are eager to see him at this division, he has been telling us all that he wanted to move up at 135 lbs because that's where the challenge is, a lot of good names that he wants to fight.
Anyhow, it's going to be a win-win though for Yoshino, also his chances are slim to none, at least he will get to travel and exposed his talent in the US soil. And so even if he losses, who knows, maybe he can still get a fight there, just like Nakatani, who he beat recently. And with the emergence of Inoue in the big US market, for sure there will be a lot of Japanese too that might followed next. Similar to what Pacquiao did to many Filipino boxers when he was at his prime. At least they are given the chance with the likes of Mark Magsayo and Casimero and many more. So this might be the case for Japanese boxer in the next coming years.
And if I recall it correctly, Shakur almost got a fight with the champion directly, Devin Haney but I think Bob Arum doesn't want that for now and chose Loma instead to have the chance because it's much more profitable as people are calling for it since he got back again in the ring.
It's because that a fight has been set between Kambosos vs Loma, and at that time, George has the world title, but Loma has to back up because of his personal reason (war). So things has chance since then, Haney defeated Kambosos twice and now the champion. And so it is just right that Loma will be given the first crack by Top Rank against Haney.
Speaking of Japanese boxers that will follow Inoue's footstep, I just knew that his younger brother, Takuma Inoue, has been fighting at bantamweight already years before Inoue made his statement to climb the same weight class. Takuma got the WBC Interim title last 2018 but has been defeated a year after as he chased the WBC regular belt. But unlike Naoya, it seems that Takuma haven't got his older brothers talent.
Yes, he has a brother as well that campaigns in the bantamweight, but doesn't have the success of Inoue. Two different bread of boxers, just like the Manny, he has a brother in Bobby, but was way below the talent of Manny hehehe. We also have Glen Donaire, older brother of Nonito and we all know the story line when Nonito beat Darchinyan, it was thought to be a revenge fight and he knock him out.

Shakur Stevenson is back on his hometown, this time he will be fighting Japanese Shuichiro Yoshino in April 8 at Prudential Center In Newark.
If he is fighting in his hometown I'm sure he will try to be impressive by giving a great performance and what could be a great performance and this is by knocking out his opponent.Quote
No odds yet, but for sure Stevenson will be the favorite here against Yoshino. If I'm not mistaken, the Japanese is a WBO Asia Pacific and OPBF lightweight, so this guy for sure will give Shakur a good fight.
If he is holding two titles it could only mean that he is the best fighter in the Asian region in that division, but I still see Shakur the better guy to come out as the winner here.Quote
So just imagine if Shakur will win this one, either of the winner of Haney vs Loma against him will be a banger fight.
That's what's likely going to happen he deserves a shot he is also a top dog in that division, and he could give a good fight to the winner of the Loma - Haney.

It seems that this Shuichiro Yoshino is decent enough to face Shakur Stevenson in his debut, looking at the Japanese boxer's stats and recent fights, he is quite good but all of his fights are somehow irrelevant when it comes to the main ring because this Japanese boxer is more of a local boxer who keeps fighting inside his nation and his compatriots, just like Casimero's recent opponent.
Decent but I will say average when he face the likes of Shakur. And no surprise here, I mean Japanese fighters started their career home grown and then venture out of the country if they gain enough experience.
That's why I said his experience are irrelevant because all his fight are just local and this Japanese doesn't have any experience nor heavy names on his rapsheet that is saying that he defeated them. Unlike Shakur, if it wasn't for his weight issue, I bet he can have that undisputed title on his past weight class.
Still, this will be a good test for Shakur for testing the new weight class. I'd say that this fight will highlight Shakur before he goes for a title attempt against the winner of Loma-Haney fight. If I'm not mistaken, Haney wanted Shakur to be his opponent because their camp is quite underestimating Loma already and they want a good fight.
Shakur has been calling out a lot of names in the 135 lbs, that includes Haney and Loma and even Tank Davis.
He is willing to test this skills against this boxers and it will be a great fight to see him against those names in the future.
And has been privileged to be called out by the undisputed champion, Devin Haney, because his camp wanted to test his skills rather than fighting Lomachenko on a mere money fight. But I guess, Bob Arum doesn't want that scenario for now and would like Shakur to test the water first before fighting a champion directly that belongs on the same stable.
Although Yoshino had defended his lightweight title for a long time, he doesn't look like he has the skills to maneuver Stevenson. Still, this is another round for Shakur to break at 135 after all Yoshino ranked in the top 5 on the WBC which is quite impressive.
It seems to be that Yoshino stayed in Japan fighting, so his exposure fighting Western style is very limited up to this point. While Stevenson has beat a good amount of champions, like Oscar Valdez and Herring and also Robson Conceiao.
Yoshino might try to stage a upset, but it's a long shot odds for him.
The undercard list is some that is to look at like Damian Knyba and Jared Anderson who are both undefeated heavyweights. Seems easy win as they fight older athletes with more than 5 loss.
We will see more on the undercard I guess, the good thing with this undercard is that sometimes we will find great boxers in there.
shakur shows high skills every time and is very much exposed to us since he is more covered in media than this Japanese but this tale of the tape shows Yoshino has a large advantage in power over Stevenson, he has 75% knockout while Stevenson's 47%.
I don't think it's a valid comparison because Yoshino never fight with a world champion boxer. In Stevenson's career the highest losses of his opponent only 4, while Yoshino have 7 times fights with boxers have losses more than 4, the highest is 16 losses. I'm not agree if Yoshino has more power, but I tend to agree if Stevenson doesn't have a lot power. Stevenson is only fast and skillful, he ever make Oscar Valdez and Jeremia Nakathila fall, but it doesn't enough to stop them.
It's probably just the numbers or statistics, but we all know that in boxing, it might not be the case specially if you are fighting the likes of Shakur and other defensive fighter, even like Haney, who has the 4 belts right now at 135 lbs.
So it could be deceiving for some and yeah, might not be a good numbers to compare. Stevenson might not have the power vs Yoshino, but definitely, he has more experience and the better between the two and going to be the favorite, likely Yoshino will be 4:1 underdog or higher I reckon.
