[Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23

[Baofeng]

It was reported that Stevenson's next opponent will be Robson Conceicao and the fight will be held at Shakur's home town of Newark, N.J.

As what we witnessed this year, Stevenson defeated Oscar Valdez to claim the WBC belt, he has the WBO belt when he defeated Herring.

On the other hard, Robson Conceicao lost to Oscar Valdez, but it was very controversial, Valdez was found to have PEDs in his system and the biased scoring.

Stake has the odds already:

Stevenson - 1.05
Conceicao - 9.60

It seems that Stevenson is about to hit his prime and we have seen how he clearly dominated a tougher opponent in Oscar Valdez. Initially we thought that Oscar has a good chance against Shakur because of his left hook and power. But Shakur uses his boxing skills and very technical in dismantling Valdez and even score a knock down during their fight. For me, Stevenson will win this by a large margin if it goes to the judges scorecard and there will be no controversies , clear victory. A poll might be good though.

Jesus the odds is making Robson too weak.
Shakur by the way is already in the Pound for Pound list. Shakur will win this with wide UD if not by KO. Hard to outclass Shakur will his skills he is like semi-Loma back in his prime days. Neither Robson or Cordina will win against him which I believe is his next fight too.

I agree, Robson might have given Oscar Valdez all he can handle, but against this version of Shakur we might be looking for a knockout or unanimous decision as you have said. Could be a wide margin and then we will see brilliance of Shakur just like in the Valdez fight.

Maybe after this fight, Shakur might go with unification fight with maybe Cordina IBF champion or Gutierrez at WBA.

I think Shakur can clean up this division in the next year or so. And then probably go up to 135 lbs division and maybe look for the money fight there. It will be a great fight between him and Davis. We've seen him and some of the boxers in the Davis vs Romero fight and he said that him and Davis will be great.

Anyhow, if he get past Robson and chances are high that he will, he will target the two champions and then unify and go up in weight.

He did made a good run since he retained his title, Herring, Valdez and Conceicao will just be few down his list. Stevenson got a long way for his career and this is just giving Conceicao another chance for a title. Its a hard battle for him though.

Conceicao doesn't have a KO power, I'd just give that to Shakur. What he have is the height and reach advantage which will give a hard time for Shakur for every round. Its just how they could outbox each other.

Shakur Stevenson is a young and hard-hitting boxer and it seems to me that he is faster and more technical compared to Robson Conceicao, so Shakur has every chance of winning, perhaps, and he has not bad chances for a knockout.

I think Herring did have the same or even longer reach than Robson but Shakur was able to negate it during their fight and become the aggressor and switch strategies as the fight progresses. He uses his ring IQ, attack the body more in the latter round to soften up Herring.

I think that will be the same strategy that he will do in this fight to offset Robson height and length against him and win by out boxing Conceicao.

[Hypnosis00]

Shakur Stevenson at 1.05, I would simply think that he will win this fight, I'm not seeing an upset here, this is most likely another tune up fight for him better get a big fight again. His opponent is not popular, though with 17-1 record, that's nothing if he had not into popular fights.

Robson Conceicao

[coin-investor]

Shakur just keeps getting better he is good in defense and offense although he lacks in power, I agree that he should be in the top list of pounds for pound Robson Conceicao is a good fighter but no way he can beat Shakur, it's only a matter of time before he rules the Super featherweight/Junior lightweight (130 lb/59 kg) because all the champions in other organizations like Gutiérrez and Cordina can't match his skill, so I bet Shakur Stevenson to win the bout via knock out.

[coinerer]

Shakur Stevenson is a strong team and they have higherly winning chance. So they always offer low returns for betting on their behalf. They have a 90% chance of winning the game and most of the time they win. so i am always support Shakur Stevenson every times. and i make bet behalf them

[Beparanf]

The odds is very small that is not worth it to bet at all. This match is not interesting at all for me even if this a title fight because Stevenson is dominant on this game not because he is the current title holder but rather he defeat Oscar Valdez in dominant way which is the previous holder of one of his belt while Conceicao was beaten by Valdez.

I under that each boxer has different style so there might be some changes but Stevenson previous matches are all resulted on convincing way so I will not be surprised that odds is terrible.

It was reported that Stevenson's next opponent will be Robson Conceicao and the fight will be held at Shakur's home town of Newark, N.J.

This would be a battle of former Olympic medalists, silver for Shakur while gold for Robson if I'm not mistaken.

Just wonder why this fight is going to be held in New Jersey and not in Las Vegas where gamblers could see live the unified champion, Shakur Stevenson. Maybe Bob Arum has something to do with this as I read an article after Shakur won against Valdez that Arum is not too fond of Shakur being a defensive fighter and can't draw a massive crowd which I believe might be the reason why this fight is to be held in Shakur's hometown.

yes, robson got his gold medal at 2016 olympics. but the reason why it will be in NJ, maybe they are not looking for huge gate payout here. but talking about the odds, bookies are seeing that robson is not a threat to shakur because of the wide gap. who knows, this may be an upset, if robson will prepare for this fight. so let's see...

Perhaps the sticking point is that Shakur will show his talent on his hometown? But I somewhat agree with Bob's observation, Shakur style as we all known is very frown by casual fans except for those hardcore and his fans. So maybe him making the fight in Shakur hometown will draw some fans into the gate and then later Bob Arum can spin it around down the line saying Shakur is the A-side because he bring fans to buy tickets for his fight. Clever move and a win-win for Shakur image and Top Rank.

Not sure if he lacks power, if I'm not mistaken, he knock down or knock out his opponents with body shot. And I would say that he has one of the most powerful body shots in the lower division. But this fight is again another best test for him, we've seen how his defense is, so I'm expecting of him to somewhat show his prowess just like what he did on taking apart Oscar Valdez. Dela Hoya even twitter that he is a combination of Floyd and Canelo.

[btc_angela]

It was really a masterful and class shown by Shakur in the Valdez fight. In that fight, he really moves like Floyd Mayweather (just finished watching the highlights just now). There were rounds that Valdez is the aggressor and pushing the fight, even pinning him in the ropes. But Shakur is too intelligent to be trap and that jab is really superb. And then he combine it with body shots and then going to the head. I doubt know how Robson Conceicao will counter that.

[Jawhead999]

Shakur is really huge favorited and it makes me to bet him is really unprofitable, I think I wouldn't bet and only watch the fight.

Honestly I don't know why Shakur want to fight against Conceicao because he already enough power to beat other champions e.g. Joe Cordina and Roger Gutiérrez, so he will become undisputed champion on super featherweight division. I'm expecting a KO from Shakur on the late round 9 or above.

I also tend to agree Conceicao won that fight against Oscar Valdez, but in this fight he would completely lost against Shakur.

Stevenson - 1.05
Conceicao - 9.60

The odds are very small for Shakur and I am also sure odds for the rounds will be over 10.5 rounds and very small too. If this was an ICO, it would be one of those scam pump and dumps that have been forgotten after the first pump hehehe.

Shakur Stevenson should challenge the other championship holders in his weight class for a move on unifying all the championships similar to Naoya Inoue.

His probably targeting both champions later, this is just another step for him, different kind of style and see how he will adapt on Conceicao. I think if he gets over Conceicao just like how he dispose Valdez, both Cordina and Gutierrez will be an easy fight for him.

I don't think there will be much difference or change in the odds. Stevenson is taking over this division and as I have said, unification this might will happen. Perhaps just a question on how much money is involved against Cordina and Gutierrez.

Edit: I also added a poll.
