WBO #1, WBC #2 super featherweight and former WBO featherweight champion Shakur Stevenson (15-0, 8 KOs) outclassed Toka Kahn Clary (28-3, 19 KOs) over ten rounds on Saturday night in the bubble at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Total domination for Stevenson who won easily 100-90 on all three judges’ cards.

“He knew how to survive. He came in there to survive, and that’s what he did,” said Stevenson.

“I want the WBO [130lb] belt first. The winner of Frampton and Herring have to come see me. After that, we want Berchelt!”

Fress, Dzemski remain unbeaten
Nakatani, down twice, then KOs Verdejo

  • Shaqueers fights are about as boring as he is ugly!! I knew I should have switched to the UFC main event.

    • Damn, that’s a lotta hate! Why didn’t you just switch to the UFC main event, again? Don’t worry answering….i think we all know.

  • shakur clout chasing and Tim Bradley is still showing hes too punchy from all 3 ass whippings he took from Pacqiuao and the beating he endured from provodnikov and ass whooping he took against Marquez which most boxing experts thought he lost and according to Bradley tonight if fighters should have their coaches stop fights because their getting hit too much then the feather fisted Bradley would have lost half of his fights and Top Rank/ESPN get rid of Bradley hes starting to babble like the tweaker Paulie “weakest punching champion in the history of boxing” Malaggnagi to Andre Ward you are a class act sir keep up the good work its should be you and Kellerman doing these fights

    • I agree, Bradley needs to go, he SUCKS!!! I’ve never heard someone say so much dumb shit. I liked Paulie though, at least he had boxing knowledge and was a good commentator.

    • There are couple boxers that could do a better role than Bradley. I believe Jessie Vargas is one of them, he is much better than him

    • Tim was making the point that Clary wasn’t even trying to win. Why be in the ring with a guy like stevenson if you’re only going cruise to a shutout loss? Better to quit and spare yourself the time and needless punishment. Makes total sense to me. Clary was in the ring, but mentally he had already quit probably before the fight started. At least that’s how it appeared based on the effort he made…oh, and btw, bradley beat marquez pretty convincingly and outboxed provodnikov. he also deserved the in the first pac fight. Don’t let your personal feelings to Bradley blind you to his actual accomplishments in his fight careeer.

      • Bradley CLEARLY loss to Manny in the first fight. I don’t use this term often but that was a robbery. Outside of that I agree with most of what you said and Bradley did have a good point. However, Bradley is not that great at commentary. A lot times it seems he says stuff just to say it and he seems to almost yell stuff just to make it seem right. Like during the Franco/Moloney fight he screamed it was a headbutt even before the ref did. Then at the end he was outraged and never acknowledged he made the wrong call.

        • I dont know about bradley CLEARLY lot to manny in the first fight. the judges scored it for bradley and so did i. part of the problem with pacquiao fights is the commentary is always so biased in favor of pacquiao people get fooled about what they’re actually seeing. bradley was on his way to winning the second fight too…looked to be ahead after the first 4 rounds, but then seemed to lose concentration. as for his fight commentary, he’s not the best, but he’s also not the worst out there…guys like shawn porter and george foreman were way worse.

          • I think porter does good, but foreman was pretty bad. Emanuel steward was not so good either in my opinion.

  • This guy is pound for pound as boring as scumbag Billy Joe Saunders and equally pathetic and boring Demetrius Andrade. I’ll give them credit they are smart but I’d rather watch grass grow….

    • Yet you choose to watch all their fights in their entirety instead of watching the grass grow. Why am I not surprised?

    • He’s the total package. And still so young. If he gets brought along right, he’ll dominate at the very elite level for years and years to come.

  • Stevenson looked more filled out and solid in this fight. He had Clary on the defensive all night and won every round. There aren’t many who could beat Stevenson at 130 lbs. A fight against Berchelt seems like the one fight that everyone would want to see.

    I can’t see Frampton or Herring beating him, if they do make those matches. Herring looked extremely beatable in his fight against Oquendo while Frampton is just too small to be competitive against Stevenson. It’s time for a Stevenson-Berchelt matchup.

    • berchelt is an amazing fighter in his own right, but i think stevenson is a prodigy. i have stevenson to win againt berchelt in a very competitive decision.

  • Interesting how Master Boxers get classified as “boring” and “unwatchable”. Boxing is an art, hit and not get hit; not MMA savagery, where you hammer fist a man while he’s out cold until the ref stops it. Every fighter has a different style, Shakur has his, he looks pretty damn good to me. The kid is from Brick City, he’ll throw down when he needs to. He has a couple of nice KO’s on his resume, look at his highlight reel. Clary came to survive. I like the plan, winner of Herring/Frampton, then go after the monster, Berchelt. Will be watching that one, great test for each guy, can’t call it right now.

    • Some of these same folks calling stevenson boring due to his brilliant, flawless boxing skills will rave about how much they love the “matrix” lomachenko and completely look past how unimaginative and boring lomachenko actually is.

      • Lomachenko is infinitely more exciting than Shaqueer “woman beater” Stevenson.

    • DMV, MMA is not slavery. It’s closer to what a fight in the street would be. Many of these boxer would get their ass beat once they tangle and go to the ground.

  • Shakur might look boring for the ones expecting a Jose Zepeda vs. Ivan Baranchyk type of fight, no, Shakur is belong to the exclusive club of pure boxers. This type of fighters are the ones that take full advantage of the sport and mostly have a long boxing career, and when is time to go, their marbles still in place. Ask Floyd or Ward about it

    • Its supreme athleticism on display. Pisses people off! They wanna see you get rocked for their own entertainment. Most likely never got in the ring themselves to appreciate a smart fighter. Good Post!

  • What a boring fight. I think watching paint dry is actually more exciting! This guys is out of his weak mind to question Lomachenko’s heart! He fights like he’s terrified of getting hit at least Vasily had the heart to try and finish off Lopez not like this where every round was the same as the last! pop pop and stand back and see what happens, just very basic boring technician the opposite of exciting assassins like Lopez and Davis.

    One more thing Dayum Shakur is FFUUGGLLY! He looks like a cross between an opossum and a human. Can you say hideous?! Like what does Joet Gonzalez’s sister see in him?

  • Reading these comments, I take it a lot of people aren’t true boxing fans, they’re more fight fans. Shakur and Devin Haney have completely dominated in their fights but get labeled as “boring” and then told they aren’t worthy of the big fights. It’s said that prime Ali in this generation would labeled as boring too.

    • Shaheed Mohammed, from the few fights I’ve seen of Ali, he moved around a lot but went for the finish. Floyd, really didn’t and Shakur probably won’t either. At the same token, taking the risk to finish his opponents is probably why Ali had health problems later in his life.

  • I can tell that Shaheed is a Haney and Shakur male groupie. Dude every one is entitled to an opinion why do I get the creepy feeling that you probably have a tattoo on your butt cheek of either Shakur or Haneys image with a heart on it…

    Just saying, dude don’t get so angry that people find these guys just boring?

  • Shakur “beats women and jumps people at gas station with thug friends” Stevenson will get on his Nike against berchelt.

    • Shakur didn’t put his hand on that woman on the video. It was a dude he beat into unconsciousness. Obviously you hate shakur (most likely because you feel threatened by his incredible talent). Nobody is excusing shakur’s behavior, but there’s absolutely no reason for you to lie about him and embellish.
