Terence Crawford revealed his aversion to Gervont ‘Tank’ Davis and said Shakur Stevenson would win him. Crawford says he selects the WBC champion in Stevenson’s lightweight category to win the tank because he will not be able to “land his shots” on him. His defense is too good.
Terence does not say that Stevenson can beat the tank if his entire focus is not engaged and avoided a hit. That’s all he does, and fans hate that ugly Mayweather-Esque Hit-and-A-Hit style with the early 2000s.
Shakur (22-0, 10 ko) has been praying to the fight against superstar Tank Davis (30-0, 28 ko) since he moved until 135 2024, but did nothing to marry as a worthy sharing with him.
Shakur has given bad performances in the last two fights against Artem Harutyunyan and Edwin de Los Santos.
Crawford’s personal aversion to Davis
“He wouldn’t even think about 154,” Tedrence Crawford said Talk About Gervont Davis. “Yes, if he could choose his opponent,” Terrence said when asked if the tank would reach 147.
“If the tank could choose his opponent, he would have done it, but he would never come from 135 to 154,” Crawford said, managing to realize that the tank had already moved two divisions. I really don’t like that guy because I don’t like him. I don’t like anything about him.
“I feel like he’s one of those arrogant little fees that uses what he got to protect him. He has a lot of security guards around him and knows he’s in the center of attention. He wouldn’t behave in certain situations,” Crawford said.
Tank Davis has already moved two categories of weight at the beginning of his career at 126. So, why should he raise three more divisions to fight at 154? What is it about? Yes, Crawford is a former world champion in four divisions, but he did not fight the great opposition in these categories. It moves to 168 for a one -time one to get a salary against Canel Alvarez. It’s not like Crawford will stay there after that.
He is just going on a pay day, takes a loss and probably withdraws or returns from where he came from at the age of 154. If he returns to the junior middle category, it will only be for harvesting at Sebastian Fundari, a vulnerable champion. He does not want to fight anyone good, such as Bakrahm Murtazalieva, Vergil Ortiz Jr, Serhii Bohachuk or the rematch of Israil Madrid.
“He is a damn good fighter, I respect him as a fighter. He has skills, he has power and has a huge boxer ability. But his fundamental personality and his ways, nah. I realized Shakur,” Crawford said when asked who would win the fight between Tank Davis and Shakura Stevenson.
“As I said, I respect the tank. In boxing is one of those. We’ll take out his personality and personal things out of him. He is definitely talented in boxing and definitely got it. He definitely respects him in boxing, but Shakur is a different fighter.”
Shakur: Boring truth
Crawford is right. Shakur is a “different fighter”, but he is poisoned for fans and is not good for sports in the sense of helping him grow. It is no coincidence that Shakur’s fight against Floyd Schofield was buried on Saturday at Undercard on February 2nd in Riyadh. This place was set for obvious reasons.
“Shakur is different. People can say that he’s boring. People can say that they can’t hit, but they said the same Floyd because they are defensive fighters,” Crawford said. “Tank will not be able to hit Shakura as if he had hit everyone else. He knows it, and that’s why he’s boring. He’s this, he’s it.”
I hate to break it into Crawford, but the tank could hit Shakur and hurt him. It’s not untouchable. Terrence may have formed his opinion that Shakur has been unnoticed in recent years from watching a smaller opposition, but he definitely hits if he doesn’t run. He should have lost the fight against Edwin de Los Santos because he did not throw the blows.
“He’s trying to diminish everything Shakur did, so it’s not a market,” Crawford said. “But he can’t do it because Shakur is a worldwide champion in three weights. How many actual titles did he have a tank? Like two? Real titles. [Jose] Pedraz, he exhausted Pedraz. Let’s do it on a even playground. Give that man’s time to train. “
Gervont says this as if it were saying that Shakur is boring because it is true. The fighters who have this style are so afraid of hitting them that they will not touch them. They have to get them out of the sport.
“Tank is great for what he does, and I respect the tank in the ring and his skill, his power and attributes. It’s smart. He can remove my **. I don’t say that I would choose Shakur just because of our differences. I say to you as a fighter. Choos. BiH Shakur because I don’t think the tank could land his shots at him as if he were doing everything else.
