Ryan Garcia gave Shakur Stevenson a dose of actuality on social media, kicking him whereas he was down following his much-criticized win over Artem Harutyunyan final Saturday evening on the Prudential Middle in Newark.
He steered that Shakur “microdose on shrooms,” which is his manner of giving Stevenson a way to deaden the ego hit he’s taking from the followers’ backlash over his uninteresting win.
Ryan’s Brutal Honesty
Garcia put Shakur underneath a microscope, telling him on X that “everybody is aware of you’re terrified within the ring. You battle like a scared man.” That’s Ryan telling it like it’s within the traditional Howard Cossell style, and Shakur most likely doesn’t need to face that reality.
WBC light-weight champion Shakur has fired again at his many critics on social media, attempting to defend himself on how he carried out.
Shakur received a twelve-round unanimous determination, nevertheless it was not the spectacular effort he wanted to encourage one of many huge promoters to scoop him up on the free agent market. He wanted a knockout, however the energy wasn’t there, and he didn’t go all-out with a flurry of punches when Harutyunyan regarded surprised within the ninth.

Eddie Hearn of Matchroom mentioned he received’t pay Shakur the type of cash Bob Arum was with Prime Rank. Except he modifies his thoughts, Shakur can neglect about signing with him, and it may not be price it anyway if he can’t ship Tank and Lomachenko on a silver platter.
Matchroom has nobody to supply Shakur apart from Andy Cruz, Regis Prograis, Liam Paro, Jack Catterall, and Richardson Hitchins. Some or all of these guys would possible beat Shakur, and he’d have to maneuver as much as 140 for over of them. They’re not big-money PPV-level fights within the U.S., none of them.
