Even Shakur Stevenson has admitted that Gervonta Davis is a special fighter. On Cigar Talk, the boxer from Newark did not hesitate to state that Davis was blessed with a God-given ability to knock out his opponents 90% of the time. Simultaneously, opposing all the doubters, Shakur argued he could give ‘Tank’ a run for his money. However, ShowBizz the Adult remains unconvinced.
Since Vasyl Lomachenko is not “in the mood” for ‘Tank,’ Team Shakur Stevenson is ready to negotiate with Gervonta Davis. Following Lomachenko’s unprecedented exit which has been compared to Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race, Shakur’s co-manager told BoxingScene, “It’s all up to ‘Tank.’ The one thing about Shakur [is] he will take anyone you put in front of him.”
However, ShowBizz the Adult just cannot see a way Shakur can possibly beat Gervonta Davis! “Shakur has slickness but he’s not slick. The best way to explain this is Devin Haney. Devin Haney is not slick, he’s athletic. But, he’s not slick,” he began. So, who has got the slickness?
“Tank“, answered ShowBizz the Adult. “Tank was in there swimming without getting wet. And countering, he’s actually the slick fighter,” he added. In his opinion, Shakur Stevenson is more “elusive“. “He also doesn’t hit hard enough to hurt Tank,” ShowBizz continued, fearing Stevenson would be intimidated by Davis.
“Tank will knock him out. I put $10,000 on Tank for the knockout,” he concluded confidently on his stream. Although ShowBizz the Adult expected Shakur to be intimidated by Davis, Shakur’s co-manager felt otherwise.
Shakur Stevenson is not afraid of Gervonta Davis
Other than ShowBizz the Adult, Kenny Ellis, one of Gervonta Davis’ coaches, claimed that only fear could prevent Shakur Stevenson vs. Tank Davis. “The only thing that can stop that fight is fear,” Ellis said, doubting if Shakur was serious about facing ‘Tank.’ But, Shakur’s co-manager, Josh Dubin is confident that the WBC Lightweight champion truly wants the fight. “He’s been begging for it for a long time,” Dubin said.
“What Shakur wants to do – let me say it plainly – is to unify at 135,” he added. In Dubin’s opinion, as Lomachenko understood he would potentially lose against Davis, the Ukrainian boxer walked away. However, it is not the same with Shakur. “Shakur’s own enemy is his own greatness and other peoples’ fear of him,” Dubin added. With that said, do you expect Shakur Stevenson to put Gervonta Davis in a fix? Or, do you align with ShowBizz the Adult?
