Speaking of the WBC convention,
As the WBC convention continues to move forward, a slew of bouts was recently ordered. Amongst them, a WBC title eliminator between Stevenson and Isaac Cruz was officially penciled in.
https://www.boxingscene.com/shakur-stevenson-welcomes-isaac-cruz-title-eliminator-i-dont-duck-dodge-anybody--170355dI think this is a great fight for Shakur if he step up to 135 lbs, Pitbull is no pushover, the pressure and the power, let's see how Shakur will cover that one. He want's to fight Devin Haney but I guess he needs to go in line. I think Loma will have the first crack, but then again the problem with Shakur vs Cruz might be their promotions and network ties. Hopefully the WBC could be their middle main so that this title eliminator will happen next year.
I'm surprised if Shakur want to move to lightweight division, after I read a news on 3 weeks ago if Shakur losses all his belts because he missed the weight against Conceicao, it's make sense. Well Isaac Cruz is a good stepping stone for Shakur before he want to fight Haney, Loma or Tank. Lightweight division is very exciting and bloody since each boxers has capabilities to beat the other boxers.
Maybe the real champion on lightweight division need to fight the top 5 boxers before he need to move to the next weight.
Well, Shakur is a boxer who is always looking for the best. Could it be that he wants to move up in category so that he can be much more famous? he wants to do the Russian Bivol thing, who doesn't want rematches with anyone right now, just win titles and get a lot of fame to make good fights and have so much fame that each fight makes them win a lot of money, that's what they really want, if they fight esclar is because apart from fame, they want money and I don't blame them, it's a very hard sport, they risk their lives in an impressive way, if they can get money from it, it's the most logical thing and it's well deserved.
In this order of ideas I base myself to think that this is possibly what the boxer Shakur wants, basically a boxer I imagine who seeks the same goals.

Damn, how long was that when it happened? It's so long, right? Are we this old already?
We are not that old, because we can still remember it.
Marquez was unbelievable that time, most of the fans thinks that it will be a win for Pacquiao but that lucky punch that landed solidly
and give him the win.
I agree that it was one of the biggest upsets as this was part of that long-series rivalries between Pacquaio and the Mexican fighters,
maybe or not maybe it was the reality back then that pride is greater than money unlike now, money is more than anything.
It's true. Most of Marquez's counters are accurately done and Manny is getting frustrated because of it. I think that is one of the reasons why he came back for more punches which became one of the biggest mistakes in his career. Well, that's the after-effect of a counter strategy to make you lose your temper and throw your game out.
Pride and honor before and without a doubt even non-sports enthusiasts are going to wait for the match and get PPV.
Now, it's way different, exhibition matches left and right.
The fight between manny pacman Pacquiao vs manuell Marquez for me is one of the best fight in the history of boxing because their fight runs until 4 fight because of rematch but still that fight is not a small fight as we all know that fighters are very strong and very strategic in terms of fighting. That lucky punches by Marquez makes manny pacman down in the ring as we all know that manny controlled the fight but when he is in greediness to knock down his opponent then a lucky punch make him as sleep for a while.
Well we all know very well that Paquiao is a boxer who will always give his best and for the show too, in addition we know that Pacquiao's style is very explosive from a start and it is an honor to have him to see him box, knowing that he is a legend it is very obvious that the tendency will always be for him to win, this is something that cannot be denied, for me Pacquiao is a boxer who always determines the course of every fight, he is the one who will give a before and after, no there is another way to see it and he will win because I don't see any other way to see Pacquiao in an exhibition fight, I can't deny that I would like him to return to boxing like before.
