Shakur Stevenson vs Devin Haney sparring (video)

Thought some people might be find this video interesting after Shakur's win last weekend. I always wanted to see Shakur and Haney go at it in the future at some point no matter the outcome of Kambosos/Haney. Although I do think think Shakur slaps Haney around.

 

I’ve seen a lot of their fights. Always felt Shakur was better. Haney is talented but not as dominant as he should be, I feel.

 

Shakur is a lot mentally sharper than Haney.

He can innately execute moves and see openings that it takes Haney longer to process.

 

He's a much better ring general, too. Haney let's things get out of his control far too often for a "master boxer".

 

Yeah he looks visibly nervous at times. Hopefully Kam ends his hype train.

 

For 16 yoa v impressive

 

16 yoa though in there.

 

He still looks nervous today in the ring I think is the point.

 

That'd make Shakur only 17.

 

I agree. It's hugely impressive all the same for these guys to be at that level. Remember Tyson used to cry before fights, too. If you get belted in the head hard, the nerves will go away fast....

 

I think Haney is clearly the lesser guy but if it comes down to it the fear and instinct will trump all.

I think Shakur beats him.

Two unlikeable dudes , all the same.

I used to know these divisions by heart but since 2015 I couldn't tell you who was who or what weight they were at.

 

Whereas Shakur comes off genuinely cocky and arrogant, I can’t say the same of Haney. He gives off energy that he’s unsure of himself IMO.

 

Newark is filled with legitimately cocky MFs.

 

We were talking about last week's fight in the barbershop yesterday.

Myself and three other dudes were all in agreement that Shakur beats the brakes off of Tank.

 

I heard Stevensons Newark pals beat the shit outta some guy in the casino later in the evening after his fight

 

I think Shakur outboxes Tank a good deal, although I'm curious to see how he can handle Tank's power. We have yet to see someone rattle Shakur and test his chin.

 

Yeah I think Shakur is just too good for Tank. He’d have to be defensively responsible, but he’s got too much skill and speed for him.

Shakur’s toughest test would be Loma IMO, but I still think he beats him.

 

I honestly think Loma's style would be poison for Shakur IMO. Loma does well with defensive counter punchers. If Loma is still the same fighter as he was before I think he would give Shakur hell with his movement, angles, and offense. Unless Shakur changes up his style as a more rough street fighter I can't see him outboxing Loma.

 

Stevenson is much bigger than Davis and lomachenko. He has the range to trouble either although I give Davis a better chance at beating him.

 

Tank has a puncher's chance against anyone from 130-140.

But if Shakur has a good chin, Tank is fucked.

 

I think Loma's skill level is one of the most overrated things in boxing history.

 

Loma gets unbearably overrated no doubt but his skill set is still something to appreciate. Of course he's not flawless but he's still a very skilled operator.

 

I cant see him outboxing Shakur at this point. I think you guys would be surprised at how often Shakur beats him to the punch, and he would struggle tremendously with Shakur's range.

He looked good against that Japanese bum whose name i already forgot, but I predicted that he would look good.

Shakur is a different problem for him.

 

Last time Loma faced a guy with real quickness and WON it was 8-9 years ago.

 

even at his best beating little gary russell jr or tiny, ancient rigondeaux has no bearing on how he'd do vs a 5'8 150lb stevenson

 

Russell even on his best day isn't the class of Shakur.

 

No, it was when he faced Linares.

 

Linares went life and death with Kevin Mitchell.

 

Linares is/was faster than Stevenson will ever be, and would beat everyone Stevenson has fought.

Loma is a class above Stevenson.
