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

[Viscore]

^^ Everyone is after the money, no more legacy or pride or try to be called the best in boxing. And of course there are styles as well, styles that make people buy tickets and wanted to see the fighters live to see how good they are like Tank Davis. But then again, boxing politics will stand in our for us fans to see if this fight is going to be made or not. But it's better for Shakur to just take one step at at a time, beat Robson in a dominant fashion like he did against Oscar Valdez and as I have said, go and unify the belts, we've seen Josh Taylor did it this year and Canelo has done that in 168 lbs. He should chase history first, before pursuing money fights.

If he will win against Robson in their upcoming fight, then its not only history that he will chase but also lots of money will be in his possessions. However, it’s always good to see a good boxer taking one step at a time because that will also give him enough time to master his own boxing skills and enhance what needs to be more develop. As for Shakur, it won’t be hard for him as he has already titles that prove his worth in the ring.

I really believe that Shakur will really win in this upcoming fight, I know that there's also other factors that could potentially get Shakur defeated but those chances are much slimmer. Though this is just a title defense fight, this fight is also an important step for his career as he will gain more experience from Robson and this fight will open more doors for him. Maybe after this he can go and fight against Joe Cordina to add the IBF belt in his possession.

The name 'Shakur' should, first of all, inspire fear in Robson's mind. I mean, the brother's gloves are smoking hot right now and Rob has got to train extra, and come up with new skills, quickly if he thinks of standing a chance. Who would train so hard, just to get beaten up with the hope of not getting paid in the end? The fight might not really be for the fight per se, but aside money, experience, history, chance and destinies, isn't there always supposed to be a catch? It makes it more interesting I think.

[freedomgo]

^ Everyone is after the money. Top Rank wouldn't want Shakur to be wasted while he is young, they've be matching him to some average fighter until they earned   unimaginable amount.

Bettors is also what they are after and this one sided match is a money maker. Shakur is just too much of an accurate skilled fighter compare to Conceicao. And to make sure he wins, the fight its also going to be held in Shakur's hometown. He has all the advantage in this fight.

I guess that's why Bob Arum is always playing on top of the game as he knows how to make his boxers rise above and on top of that, knows how to make money. Right now, it's a good thing that Bob is welcoming change and lets his own boxers to have their chance to have a legacy in the industry like unifying all 4 belts.

Shakur has a bright future and Bob Arum will make sure that his boxer will be at the top of their game in their own respective division as that means he will keep on collecting profits from each fight they have.

Chances are high for Shakur to win here, I have to look at who is the manager of Joe Cordina, if Top Rank can make a fight with him after this fight. As what we discussed on different boxing threads, sometimes it's the promotion as the hindrance for a huge mega fight. This promotions have ego like Arum having a hard time against PBC and vice versa. So it will be interested if the handler of Cordina is not on Arum's radar.

The odds speaks it all. This isn't really an exciting match. Although an upset is always a possibility in the sport of boxing, I cannot see how Conceicao would manage to defeat Shakur. Robson doesn't have the power to easily knockout Shakur. He doesn't have that strong haymaker that could suddenly turn the tide in his favor. Stevenson on the other hand is very much at his career's peak, very young and quick. And although he isn't a knockout artist either, he could easily outpoint Robson.

That's his skills, he moves quick and he is not a knockout artist so he will be able to conserve his energy well. He is more like a technical fighter, knows how and when to attack, so this one should be another walk in the park fight. 

That's likely going to happen but we should refrain from using that term as we would be underestimating Robson that much if we say that this fight would be a piece of cake for Shakur, even if we know that Shakur truly has the odds in his side.

Surely Shakur himself knows that he ain't the KO artist type but it's quite certain that he will pursue other ways to bring the fight into his favor (fairly) and improve his scores as the fight likely ends in a decision.

very high possibility that shakur will win on this fight. however, if you will bet on him right now, the odds is just like 1.05x, which is not worth if you are betting small. no other betting lines yet are available. maybe, couple of weeks from now, bookies will open more betting lines for this match, like the winning method and if the fight will go the distance. i guess, those betting lines are better to put your money into and try your luck.

Right now is not the best time to place a bet for this fight, it's still too early. I reckon it would be more suitable to bet somewhere like 48 hours before the fight starts and I usually do that but if the odds aren't that tempting to see then I think I'll pass on this fight but I will watch this of course, it's great to see younger boxers making their way to be known in the industry.

Unless you are a fan of Robson, then it's better to place a bet on him ML as the odds are very attractive.

But if you are a Shakur fan, yes, I do agree, it's better to wait for the fight to get close. For sure there will be a lot of betting options for us, like by per round, or round range.

Although when we look a the schedule of this fight, it's 3 weeks from now and for sure the hype is also building specially that this fight is going to happen on Shakur's hometown.

This promotions have ego like Arum having a hard time against PBC and vice versa. So it will be interested if the handler of Cordina is not on Arum's radar.

Since Shakur hasn't lost and has a decent record with some decent knockout percentage, looks like this fight is not that interesting because you can easily speculate how it will end up based on the record of his opponent. Robson is not a knockout artist as well and this fight will be a mind game and probably will reach the official's decisions. Shakur's win against Valdez last time was really a remarkable push to his career and gives him the huge experience to fight some worthy opponents next time. He must not give this Robson some easy fight because the guy is an Olympic gold medalist and also can upset him as well as what he did to Valdez.

Shakur will surely win this fight, it might not be interesting but he has to accept the challenge and win convincingly, if we can see a KO win by him, that would be good to hype his name more and we might see a big fight next time. We thought Valdez was a tough opponent but it turns out it was not.

Maybe one thing that we can hold for Robson is that he gave a good fight and others see that he won against Oscar Valdez. So maybe that is the fight that Shakur is going to look as the blue print on how to beat him and maybe add some of his style too. He beat Valdez very easy, so for sure Shakur has all the tools to put up his own show in front of his own crowd. And yes, he shouldn't let Robson be comfortable like what Oscar did, I'm seeing Shakur overwhelming Robson with his sharp jab and then goes to the body to soften him and then goes to the head in the middle of the fight, and Robson will be confused.

Yeah, Oscar Valdez is supposedly the best opponent for Shakur, but look at what he did to him. It's not even a match, it looks like he is fighting a boxer that he one below his weight class because of how he put a clinic in that fight, both in offense and defense. And Robson fight with Oscar is very close. So we might see another dominating performance by Shakur here and maybe goes up in weight although it will be better if he unify first the belt before moving up to 135 lbs and chase Tank Davis.

I don't know who is the manager of Joe Cordina but his promoter is Eddie Hearn, they are already eyeing for Shakur Stevenson next because the latter holds the WBC and WBO but the deal is still blurred because Bob Arum has also issues with the Matchroom boxing which is also under Eddie Hearn. I can remember that Bob Arum says that the Matchroom cannot produce many viewers that's why the fight won't be profitable.

Well I don't know, I think Shakur is an excellent boxer, and Conceicao has done a good job, although the statistics do not favor him at all, the numbers can also have their own faults, but it fails in itself, but in what in this case nothing is written, there is the surprise factor, and if the odds and obviously the bets are going to focus on Shakur, I do not want to imagine the amount of money that anyone who bets on Conceicao will win a large amount of money and also the boxer He would be positioning himself as one of the best that have entered the ring, in the same way, this fight is still missing, any data is good as the date approaches to make the best decision.

There is a lot of speculation about Shakur, I really wouldn't know what to do with an eventual bet of this kind, when we go to see each other Conceicao is a very good boxer, and it's not for nothing, but I've liked the fights I've seen of him a lot, it is also hard and surely Conceicao will not want to surrender and fight with everything.

I am in telegram groups that are very active in boxing and have a lot of confidence in Shakur, so the odds will be very much in his favor, and this urges me to bet more on Conceicao because the profits that can be produced if the He wins sopn very big, of course I see this from the point of view of a bettor and at the same time as an athlete.

Robson is a decent boxer and can keep up with other excellent boxers in the league too that's why he got this far but the downside is that he have some limitations on how long he can keep up, we saw how he was defeated by Valdez while Shakur didn't have some much trouble defeating Valdez and we can see that the scores are quite wide to compare.

But I support you on your decision mate, Robson's odds is good if ever he wins in this fight but his chances are just slim. Anyway, we never know for sure because there has been lots of upsets lately.

Yes, same here, Shakur have a good chance to win against Robson, but he will have to train very hard and not slack because Robson is a tough boxer. Shakur boxing skills is just way above the current champion here, including lights out Joe Cordina. That will be a explosive fight as well even a match with Hector Garcia who recently beat former champion Roger Gutierrez  to get the WBA belt. So this are the 2 boxers that he need to beat to become the undisputed champion in the super featherweight.

Robson and Shakur both have a very good track record when it comes to their fights.
As of right now, Shakur has fought 18 fights and hasn't lost a single one of them.
As well as Robson, he also fought 18 times. As of right now, he has 17 wins and one loss to his name.

It looks like this will be a really close fight, based on the way it looks on paper. It is true that, at the same time, it does seem like the pendulum is a little bit heavy towards Shakur's side at the moment. But that does not mean Shakur is going to be the winner. There is no doubt that both fighters are very capable and that this is going to be a very interesting fight between them.

[Kelvinid]

It looks like this will be a really close fight, based on the way it looks on paper.

Nah, it will not be a close fight because as we can see on the betting odds below, Shakur Stevenson is the heavy favorite to win the fight.

Boxer   Vegas Odds
Shakur Stevenson   -2000
Robson Conceicao   +1000

https://www.vegasodds.com/news/boxing-shakur-stevenson-vs-robson-conceicao-preview-vegas-odds-pick/

The odds clearly tells who will win here, if this is an upset, well, bettors who would favor Robson Conceicao to win will enjoy that +1000 odds.

[Daltonik]

Indeed, today the bookmakers have a clear favorite Stevenson, and it seems to me that if this changes closer to the start of the fight, it is not in favor of Conceicao, the more interesting the bets will be, because the most sophisticated and experienced boxer can miss.

Actually, it is not totally a bad idea if we consider on throwing some few spare bucks on Robson because we never know, he might be hailed as the winner at the end of the fight I'm just saying because I'm also thinking about it as there could be upsets lurking somewhere and this fight is not safe of an upset either.

Indeed, today the bookmakers have a clear favorite Stevenson, and it seems to me that if this changes closer to the start of the fight, it is not in favor of Conceicao, the more interesting the bets will be, because the most sophisticated and experienced boxer can miss.

Bookmakers seldom make mistakes. The odds difference went this far mainly because of these reasons;
1. Robson Conceicao is not a KO artist. Being heavy-handed is the major cause of boxing upsets as per common boxing saying that it would only take one punch to change the outcome of a fight.
2. Shakur Stevenson is a very technical fighter and is hard to get hit, this would further eliminate further the small chance of an upset as Conceicao is already a light puncher.
3. Shakur is the A-side fighter. Groomed by Top Rank as its next superstar and pound-for-pound fighter, like its former and present fighters De La Hoya, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Cotto, Crawford, Lomachenko, Inoue, and Fury. Close rounds will surely be given to Shakur, even probably not that close rounds for as long as he is not that dominated.
4. Last but not the least, Conceicao is fighting not just in Shakur's state of New Jersey but in his own backyard in Newark. In boxing, controversial hometown decisions happens and are even very common especially in Thailand and South Africa.
