The Boxing Historian

“[It wasn’t possible]… Start counting over the dear boy, and he’ll get up.”

-Manager Wilson Mizner, upon hearing of the death of his fighter, “The Michigan Assassin” Stanley Ketchel, in 1910.

Shakur Stevenson cautiously dominates Jeremiah Nakathila en route to a unanimous decision victory.

In what was a boring fight overall, the defensive mastery of Shakur Stevenson was on display. Nakathila was held to just 28 landed punches out of 305 thrown through twelve rounds. However, at no point did Shakur make any attempt to get his overmatched opponent out of there.

All three judges scored the fight 120-107, as Stevenson improves his record to 16-0 (8 KOs).

This basically sums up last nights charade. I’m disgusted in Floyd Mayweather for this… my favourite fighter growing up too…

It is unacceptable that he did not knockout Logan Paul within 3 rounds. I know it’s an exhibition but to perform that bad against a NON-BOXER is unacceptable for someone who claims to be “the best ever.”

Oh! And shame on for broadcasting this garbage 🗑
