Topic: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Shuichiro Yoshino April 8 - page 7. (Read 773 times)
We don't need a poll on this one, it's an easy choice for us to pick Shakur, I've checked Shuichiro's highlights on Youtube, the guy can punch and has heavy hands but he did it to low-level fighters, Shakur is a fighter who takes a punch to deliver punches I don't know if Shuichiro can do this, I will not rule out an upset but it's unlikely because the stake is just too high, the winner will fight the winner of the Loma - Haney fight, and this is what Shakur is dreaming.
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.
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.
Another easy fight for Shakur and he really need to pass this one easy to have a chance for that next fight that would be the best fight to watch in the future. It might be an easy fight but he doesn't need to slack, instead, he needs to give some serious training and bring that until he will gonna fights Loma or Haney whoever wins that fight. Chances like this are few and it is as if he was given chance to train with a price before getting in the ring fighting a real fighter of his caliber.
So just imagine if Shakur will win this one, either of the winner of Haney vs Loma against him will be a banger fight.
I believe Shakur will have no problem beating Yoshino, but the winner of Haney vs Loma, that's hard to predict though. Anyway, whoever wins that fight will surely be a great match-up for Stevenson, but hopefully, Loma will advance so the right will not be boring against Stevenson.
No way for Shuichiro Yoshino can pull an upset against Shakur Stevenson, this fight will happen in US and this is the first time for Yoshino will fight in US. I think Stevenson will become heavy favorite with the odds around 1.10x. I think the odds for Stevenson win via KO would be quite high since the fight will high likely end via decision. We need to look for odds 9-12 rounds, if it's high, it's worth to bet.
And with that, I think Shakur is playing safe here in his first fight at 135 lbs. Although in paper it looks like Yoshino is really a good fighter, but he hasn't fought outside of Japan and me too, I doubt that he can spoil Stevenson.
So far no odds yet as this is just announced, but we all agree that Stevenson will be the huge favorite here.
And the over/under rounds might be in the 7.5 range.

Boxing fans here already know who Shakur Stevenson is and his reputation, there are already many threads about his fight here in the gambling section, but we are not aware of who Shuichiro Yoshino just found out that he is an undefeated fighter with a 75% knock out percentage checking his highlights on Youtube he mostly fought from his hometown, the one fighter he fought with good caliber is Nakatani,
I don't think he has a good chance against Shakur who is battle tested against the top fighters in his division, this will be a good tuneup fight for Stevenson because the real test will come against the Loma - Hany winner.

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.
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.
^^ I would agree, decent to good opponent for Shakur but I doubt that he can upset Stevenson at this point. So I will have to put Shakur here winning maybe by a knockout or complete domination of the fight.
No offense to the Japanese fighter, he had the belt in Asia, beat Nakatani who gave Teo Lopez all he can handle and also fought Loma in his comeback fight. But that is not enough resume to beat the likes of Shakur right now.

This will serve as a title eliminator, winner of this fight will get the winner of Haney vs Loma.

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.
