Andre was one of the greatest boxers in history and so far he proving himself to be one of the greatest interviewers! Great questions. Insightful questions that have those interviewed going deep and sharing. Honest questions and he asks the hard questions many would not ask for whatever reason. Andre, you are doing it! Already, among the best !
The part Shakur is failing to realize is most of his criticism comes from the fact he says he is going to knock this guy out or going to do this or that to a person in the ring and when the fights come he doesn’t live up to what he said. U can’t get upset at people for holding you accountable on what u said u were going to do. Same for Dev he said Ryan was a C level fighter and I’m levels above him but when fight night came he got dropped 3 times by the same punch. Best advice is to Sayless and over deliver. Before blaming others look at yourself in the mirror and own up to your part in things before painting a pic that everyone is against u.
Every boxer for the most part says they are going to knock out an opponent and they try too during the fight. The thing with Shakur is he doesn’t even let his hands go to at least try. He’s boring af to watch.
I agree with the Shakur part, but that Dev part def gets a pass giving what was exposed afterwards. We cant keep ignoring that it helped that CHEATERS performance. Yes he didnt adjust to the left hook but once again the peds helped Ryan performance. 2 things can be correct. They both was dumb imo. Dev's gameplan and lack of adjustments and Ryan cheating.
Awesome interview with two of my favorites. I’m so proud of Shakur, from a kid in Newark, NJ to where he is now, God has truly blessed him. He has good people around him and that will help him go further. Team Shakur all day everyday!
It's a shame this isn't the top comment yet ..Shakur is a proper fighter and a proper role model. Big fan from the UK - they can't avoid him forever. Pure boxing. No smoke or mirrors unlike ...
Damn Andre the goat at this shit, this forsure Shakur best interview. Most informative as well, I didn’t know about some of those stories and I support Shakur, great content.
Why do they have to make it about race all the time? 🙈🙈🙈 There are hardily anymore American white boxers these days. And most managers and promoters nowadays in America are not white 🙄 Playing the race card all the time is like zionists using anti-semetic as a weapon psychologically. 😢
The part everybody miss was when shakur said when ryan lost nobody clowned em, and he basically quit, when haney lost he fought with all his heart but became a meme, the fact black fighters and just black people will pit are own down regardless is really sick man, for example let shakur fight ryan next, its gone be so many blacks wishing shakur lose, regardless of ryan saying racist shit, we hate are own more then we hate racist
Lies. Everyone been clowning Ryan. You so focused being pro-black about everything that you blind to the criticism and hate towards other boxers. It got nothing to do with being black. If someone likes a boxer more than another boxer, let them like that boxer. Stop making it about race. Shakur and Devin have said racist things about white people, but I bet you won't acknowledge that. And I like all these boxers.
@@438i2 you are displaying self hate here again...look up the definition. the disdain and venom for your own is like nothing seen with Ryan. Keep on making these bullshit excuses
@@carlalouis4101 The fact you heard "self hate" in my response is an issue. The moment a black man holds another black man accountable, you immediately call it "self hate". I hold everyone accountable for their actions and defend black peole when necessary. Stop treating black people like a hive mind because we're all free thinkers. That imo is racist and elitist behavior.
If Mohammed Ali, sugar ray, Leonard, etc etc etc had a loss then it’s absolutely fine to take a loss. BHop took a loss in his first fight, it’s absolutely fine to lose come on guys.
Excellent interview. Shakur is engaging and a very intelligent young man who has the character and talent to be the face of the sport. I pray he gets there. His next move is important and I hope it is to Matchroom Boxing with Eddie Hearn. This young MAN has it all.
One of the things I’ve always liked about Ward is when he talks about boxing he’s no nonsense. It’s always his honest perspective with no fluff, no bias, and no favoritism. Just facts from his viewpoint.
Canelo , Fury , Loma, Pitbull ... They Ls don't matter Haney , Charlo , Spence , Big Baby ... They all of a sudden not like that smh , U right bout that fasho Shakur
You already know how it go. If anything I'm starting to look at it as a compliment. We are expected to be great in everything at all times. Thats shows that they know we are special. Why you think they put so many obstacles in our way?
They’ve all fought great fighters and won or close hard fights, what great fighters have those others guys beat? Spence got destroyed, Haney best fight was Loma and arguably lost, regardless of Ryan maybe on peds, Haney still couldn’t adjust to the left. Charlo? Lol..pitbull? What about him? But maybe because it was a good fight but he did loose favor after that….big baby I don’t know him so can’t say nothing
@candoallthings6748 Haney beat Jojo Diaz and Jorge Linares, great Fighters Spence beat so many great fighters from Shawn Porter , Kell Brook, Mikey Garcia, Ugas and loss to arguable the lb for lb best boxer Charlo knocked out Tony Harrison the second time around and only has an exclusive loss to Canelo , another lb for lb star Pitbull lost to Tank and automatically became a star in the boxing world... I respect your opinion we all aloud to have one but all those Fighters have beat very skilled fighters outside of Big Baby (Jared Anderson)
They don’t sell as much…and they don’t run as much as the fighters you just mentioned….stop making it seem like black fighters are the only ones that get hate..Canelo the face of boxing gets hella negative energy like all the black fighters you mentioned..Floyd ducked many fighters but when Canelo ducks yall don’t have the same energy…see what I mean. 😅
Anyone who says Shakur is a boring fighter or anything negative about him is absolutely crazy. His skills are the best I’ve seen since Mayweather, Ali, all the greats.
Lmao. He always says he’s *‘levels above’* his apposition. But on fight night he can’t even break an egg and always goes 12 rounds. This boy is boring af as they say. Devin is more entertaining.
I dont think it matters how the victory is won. He wins unanimously majority of all fights . It may not be what you want but of course he gone talk to sale fights who dont??? @troypolamalupittsburghdynastyf
I watched the Artem fight twice to make sure I wasnt just jumping on the Shakur hate train. Hes actually boring. 1.) He rarely punched in between Artem. Just shelled up while he was throwing punches then initiated his own offense once Artem was done. 2.) He only throws 2 punch combinations max 3.) He doesnt try to get the TKO when he has him hurt.
Shakur's last fight was only disappointing because he didn't show me anything new. But prior to the fight, i knew he had the skills to be one of the best. And i still believe he is one of the best.
You must don’t know boxing and just in the crowd like everybody else, what more do he have to do, at this point yall just talking to be honest. He might not of let his hands go but he is a defensive fighter
@@Kudoe_Edney you know how to read? I'm literally saying that even though he didn't show me anything new in his arsenal - he doesn't have to, because he didn't need to prove to me that he needed more than he already had in order to be great.
I use to think I was going to win a lot of money on that fight. That was before Shakur’s last two fights. It seems Shakur doesn’t like to be hit. & that’s a real problem. I’m happy that fight didn’t happen because I would’ve lost a lot of money
Great interview on both parts the hate u get is crazy SS if I’m not mistaken the art of boxing is to hit and not get hit all the sleep sh*t is just wanting to see you lose I rock with you from Trenton NJ to Newark we in here keep doing you don’t change for nobody 💪🏾💪🏾🥊🥊NJ#SS
I’m from Newark, & Shakur needs to take *newark* off his shorts & replace it with *Texas.* He left as soon as he turns pro. That’s part of his problem.
@@Blessbbyftl no, I had love for him. However, he needs to take *newark* off his shorts if he’s not going to represent it right. *He’s in Texas now,* he’s been in Texas since he turned pro. That was along time ago. He’s definitely acting like a Charlo brother.
@@Ishbikeshave you ever considered he has a huge family, he’s the oldest & breadwinner……why stay in Newark when you can get ACRES in Texas (or Atlanta shiddd the SOUTH period) for the cost of one tiny ass house in Jersey? He grew up in Newark so he will ALWAYS represent Newark but people have a RIGHT to do what’s best for them for their own personal reasons without our own people screaming this stupid sh*t. 😒
Great interview. Shakur don't be emotional about opinions. Remember most of these critics know nothing about boxing. And Arum has a track record all of the best fighters did much better once they left him. Arums biggest misrepresented fighter was Crawford. It's horrible what he did to Bud. Bud should've became a household name 7 years ago. Bud was supposed to fight Manny Pacquiao and Bob blocked that fight. We're NEVER going to be treated fairly because of the God's we are. You're definitely one of the best fighters in the game.
They just don’t know boxing 🥊 period and it’s so many levels to this shit, you have to be a fighter to understand only Thing they can say Is he don’t let his hands go but the way he beat mf Up They don’t even be wanting to Swing lol
@@RenzoPeterson153 I agree and disagree although there is violence in boxing there is a lot of strategy like chess. The difference in style technique setups is what most hardcore fans and people who train enjoy.
NOT TRUE IT EQUATES TO SALES IF MOST BELIEVE YOU WILL GET YOUR ASS WHOOPED AND CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU LOSE TO THERE (EXCITING FIGHTER) SO THEY CAN TELL SOMEBODY I TOLD YOU SO IT ABSOLUTELY SALES BUDDY. BUT IF YOU KEEP WASTING TIME LETTING FIGHTERS LIKE PITBULL AND TANK DUCK AND PUTTING HIM IN THERE WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW HE GONE BEAT THAT WONT SALE ESPECIALLY TO CASUAL FANS WHICH DRIVE THE REVENUE IN THE SPORT
@@LUCIENH82 if he would step on the gas and get the people “who don’t belong in the ring with him “ out of there it would help but u don’t see where he could improve on that. you still think that it equates to sales which it doesn’t. People hate on Devin wanted n seen him take a L did it sell how they thought it would ? Maybe but did it sell how it was hyped up to be no just like Spence vs Crawford
That’s true. Bud is hands down the best boxer in the game right now and can’t sell. But who cares! Selling don’t matter! Winning in the ring does matter! He’s been avoided like a super villain by the PBC and everyone else.
@@Boxingguru114 this yall issue and Shakurs biggest issue yall cant accept constructive criticism i literally didn’t disrespect him whatsoever and yet here you are claiming im hating
He is a good dude. That's really easy to go against in this social media world. He is a super talented hard working confident competitive young dude. He believes in his skills more so than most boxers, he wants the smoke and will have to be protected from himself at times. I'm a fan of the skills and the kid.
I don't understand how one of the great ones Andre Ward can look this man in the face and not tell his man the truth how can you blow up like you one of the best fighters out there fighting garbage fights and fighting nobody can't understand it can I watch this no more Andre Ward tell that man the truth stop gas lightning he needs to fight if he call himself a fighter nobody wants to see no 100% Master sparring partner and that's nothing personal towards him I will tell anybody that claimed to be something that they not the same thing just because he get his feelings hurt everybody gives him a pass but the truth always comes out and he's not that Sakur you need to worry about the people's feelings the people that's close to you are not buying your fights your daughter's not buying your fights it's the public that's buying your face and betting money on you to see if they're going to make some money with you stop saying you're not worried about the people because if you're not worried about the people you should be giving free fights instead of stealing money for pretend fights in line to the public saying what you going to do to somebody but you're not doing it
Glad to see Andre Ward finding success as a great interviewer. I really hate when the person that is interviewing not know anything about boxing. This opens up a space for those great fighter in retirement to continue on in boxing. So many stories when a fighter loses boxing he loses himself. Like me and many other fighters. Casuals do it realize that boxing is a marathon. The longer you can last in the sport the possibility to earn more money increases. But so many obstacles that can hinder you for your average fighter. Shout out Kings boxing and Vacaville PAL. And those who have found themselves in the sweet science.
Shakur. Just from what I see. He is very talented and skilled. The look in his face though when he's fighting; looking scared in the eyes, making that face. It looks like he is afraid to get hit. He very rarely slips a punch and tags you anymore. He totally avoids the mix up. He evades to the point where it's like resetting. Super intelligent feet, but not letting his hands fly. All that can be improved upon. He's got to get off that bike, sit down on his punches and go. That's what I keep tuning in to see. The old Bob Arum didn't hepl much either with opposition selection to showcase his skills. He'll get it together soon though. Shakur has the tools to be great.
I'm really loving Ward's show. I really like Shakur. He still hasn't shown he is a mind blowing fighter. He never shows up and delivers what he says he will. No excuses Shakur!!!! Fight!!! Show some fuking heart!!! Tooo complacent!
Usyk and Loma don’t talk like killers so they don’t get held to the same standard. Color may have something to do with it but they have higher expectations of us. Tank doesn’t talk half as tough as this guy and all he does is take people out.
@@brandonpenn9887 I was a fan but just don’t like the kid. Bud is my favorite fighter but I thinks he’s champ outside and inside the ring, this kid plays hood and hides behind J Prince.
@@Tremelle_ it does. I’m really from Newark. That kid left too early, that’s why he has no discipline. If that’s your family, you should’ve raised him better. Instead he’s online talking about dudes better *strap up.*
Great interview, people are going to over analyze someone they don’t like and Ignore the same thing for the fighters they do. Shakur is learning major props to him and Ward is a great mentor to him 🔥
Idk why people always got to bring race into boxing. Shakur saying fans only clown black fighters when they lose is not true. Ryan got clowned when he lost to Tank and had memes made about him too but he was able to bounce back and get more wins which is why people started respecting him again. It's more so if the fighter is loud and talks a big game and then loses that fans clown them. It's got nothing to do with race.
He just talking in general and race have a lot to do with it, and I understand what he saying a lot of people don’t wanna believe race have a lot to do with shit, only people say shit like that is people that’s not the same color
@@Kudoe_Edney no race only has something to do with it because fans and fighters always want to bring race into it. Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali are both black and have multiple losses yet fans still adore them. It's about how you carry yourself that makes fans turn on you when you lose. If you're a trash talker then of course fans will clown you when you take an L. Just like Conor McGregor is white but fans clown him in his losses because he talks a lot.
@@Slayerboy450thats true… but it’s not the point…. Original comment stated an biased opinion and dude replied with a SOLID FACT….. Tank Literally said he was a lil rusty after knocking Frank out!
Man bro, as a fan of boxing. I fuck with shakur. He has good attributes that can potentially produce a good fight yet He does too much deflecting and no self reflecting 😂. It’s wild. Like bro.. Now it’s a race thing. Gang, you act like other black boxers get hate.. it’s only like 3 or 4 and they are the super hyped up ones
Great interview from two amazingly talented fighters man. Great shit man. Good to expose a piece of your heart in a different manner. Shit I am far from a pro but I fight and can not stand these folks 💯 I get on they ahhhhh for yal when I feel it’s right tho and that’s a fact respect ✊🏾
Man i like Shakur but he need to stop with the cap. De Los Santos was engaging with him so he can't blame him for his performance. He was just scared, and once he felt his power, and realized he was just at good at countering and just as fast as him, all he could do is run and fight him the way he fought. He tried to blame Artem for not engaging when Artem was stepping to him all night. He is just too defensive and cares about winning more than pleasing the fans who paid hard earned money to come watch. Which is why his stock is going down and nobody don't wanna watch him. He also needs to stop comparing himself to Loma, cause Loma is exciting and lets his hands go. He don't stand there flinching for 12 rounds and throwing 8 punches a round.
Shakur was my favorite fighter. I'm from Newark. But I have to admit, i was disappointed after the DeLa santos fight. I really hate that he never rematched and never mentions the guy. Worse, the guy is legit and now no 1 is talking about fighting the guy because of how good he looked against Shakur.
I’m from Newark too. Shakur’s issue is he didn’t build with anyone here. He left as soon as he went pro. He a Texas boy now. Marvin Hagler was a real Newark fighter. I would’ve put money on him over tank until I seen those last two fights. If he doesn’t like to be hit, idk what he’s going to do when Tank hit him.
Thanks dre. I wasn’t part of the chorus of boos. But i did realize how it looked. I thought it was an off night. Later learned the hand story. Last fight was good, regardless of the haters who tried to control a narrative. Also, rayo showed everyone the reason cruz avoided shakur. Cruz can’t fight a boxer, he’s too limited.
Shakur so good most of y’all don’t even know what the f^ck y’all looking at when y’all do watch the fight. The level he on is so different if you never laced up and boxed Forreal you wouldn’t even understand
Long story short he has less experience and skills than tank. Tank is a complete fighter, Shakur is not a complete fighter and struggled in every fight at 135.
The blessing and the curse. If you’ve got Ward, Floyd, Bud and Claressa taking pictures with you and promoting you before you prove yourself you’d better go out there and perform!
i am going to save this interview when i need to go to sleep, Shakur always makes me go right to sleep, some sleep aid company better sponsor him soon.
In all honesty, truthfully, i feel like Boxing fans have/had very high expectations for Shakur but based on what theyve seen thus far, i think people are starting to doubt those expectations, the style and performances Shakur has shown, has produced wins but it hasnt produced fans, especially not casual fans, seems like he's losing fans or not necessarily "losing" fans but garnering more expectations from his fans, people think he'll probably end up like "Bud" if he keeps winning... great fighter, highly decorated but doesnt really produce sells, Shakur may be on that trajectory but he speaks like he should be in the convo with the elite boxers that sell ppv consistently, make the most money cause they get the biggest fights, the "show" makes the money 💰
27:55 REAL BOXING FANS will NOT just throw away fighters who lost fights. REAL FANS appreciate the fact YOU (FIGHTERS) are fighting the best. Besides EVERYONE loves a comeback story. 🥊✊🏾🇺🇸💯🥊
Mayweather did it gotta keep that 0 and ward is mad understanding of what shakur saying cause he still got his 0 lls ain’t nobody tryna lose that mf this ain’t the 70s or 80s Leonard duran haggler days
I agree with Dre and Shakur, The Black fighter finally lose his O he's washed up, Canelo lose to Bivol and fans never criticized Canelo for ducking the rematch, The politics in Boxing is terrible
You’re full of shit foo lmao! Haney was the most hated and then he got all the love! We as fans see what’s up. Shakir talks a whole lot and doesn’t deliver. It’s like stay in your lane my boy.
@@KJVII why bring up Floyd? I think Shakur out-landed everyone he’s faced so your take isn’t valid in any way, it’s hit an not get hit, if you got legs use em. I got time today so go ahead respond with another sour take.
@@TheRingTheMaster because you're trying to pull the race card just like he is, you can box without using your legs, ever heard of lateral movement? I'm sure you got time every day 😂, where you get sour from? Stevenson boxing career doesn't affect my life at all, just giving my take 🤷
The examples he uses are imprecise in my opinion. Loma made a "legend of the sport" (Rigo) quit on his stool after half a fight. Loma drops fighters and fought an 11 year younger, and bigger superchampion in Haney and still brought the heat. Usyk might have some boring fights, but then again he has tons of exciting ones as well in his resume. I hope this guys' race-focus doesn't stop him from becoming a great.
I'm a fan of Shakur, great fighter but he needs to get off that " people call me boring because I'm a young black fighter" STOP! Loma has NEVER been in a boring fight...Rigo was making everyone he fought look silly, Loma stayed in the pocket all night, made Rigo miss & pay for it!
@@oj-2258 he actually right today fans of boxing have all turned they attention off Floyd and on to this generation of black fighters Floyd got called every name in the book bc he couldn’t be beat inside the ring so now they have to diminish his name outside it by calling him boring or a runner but shakur is just a master BOXER he boxes he’s there to hit and not be hit and why would you bring up loma vs rigo rigo was two weight classes below and moved up that’s why that fight was one sided y’all gotta stop holding double standards for fighters yall like and ones yall don’t bc the fighters you like you won’t dare tell them to fight the guy you call boring bc he would get outboxed yall need to learn what the sport of boxing is if all yall care to see is a knockout go watch bare knuckle brawling it’s called BOXING for a reason and again the double standards come from fans calling loma the matrix and calling shakur a runner both use they foot to not get hit again holding double standards
@chriskarim3134 Name 1 fighter who fights like Floyd (money may not pretty boy) or Shakur? This isn't a style Mexican fighter use, eastern European fighters or Asian fighters....so it's not a race thing it's a style thing! Then Shakur is mad that black folks are criticizing him like they should cheer for him just because they are the same race....thats stupid! Shakur is a great fighter and he doesn't need to go out there & brawl but throwing 1 punch at a time and not taking any chances will not win him any new fans.
@@chriskarim3134 Shakur has to understand that when he has belt nobody’s gonna fight him for it because of how he performed against Dela santos. He beat Valdez but got hit with the straight right hand clean in every round. Nobody believes that he can dog someone. He had the opportunity to fight Martin then it’s a money problem because Errol is involved…Dude is crazy, support black fighters but he asked for more when it comes to fighting those guys
Love this. 2 of my favorite boxers. That tank fight gotta happen soon! and Salute to Ward i'm not sure I have ever seen an interviewer who was actually a champion and knows the ins and outs of the game. It's usually a boxing fan doing the interviews. Even Tyson had another person asking questions on hot boxing. Ward is a natural and great at balancing talking and listening. You cant be an interviewer talking all the time. You have to let the person talk. Nore is a victim of that alot and Vlad. Talking too much. Yes give your insight but let the person talk. It should be 30% interviewer(if you have something to offer) and 70% guest. If you have no input , be quiet. A great example of this is Art of Dialogue. He starts off with the question and sits back. He will interject if he has something to offer but otherwise he lets the guest go. Again great job ward. Keep em coming.
Correction☝🏼Andre Ward lost his first fight to Kovalev that fight was a Robbery💯 and Did not want to Engage? 🤦🏻♂️Shakur could not figure out De Los Santos and Ducked him, and Artum was in the pocket in his face the whole night and Shakur did not Capitalize👎🏻 and Loma Stopped Rigodeux 😂Don’t speak on that fight

B-Hop got knocked out of the ring in his last fight by an amateur gtfoh.
Excellent interview. Shakur is engaging and a very intelligent young man who has the character and talent to be the face of the sport. I pray he gets there. His next move is important and I hope it is to Matchroom Boxing with Eddie Hearn. This young MAN has it all.
I hope Dre interviews Spence
Spence hardly says a word.
Yes let's get spence next ward please
That’s a good one..
That'll be a good interview for sure
One of the things I’ve always liked about Ward is when he talks about boxing he’s no nonsense. It’s always his honest perspective with no fluff, no bias, and no favoritism. Just facts from his viewpoint.

Charlo knocked out Tony Harrison the second time around and only has an exclusive loss to Canelo , another lb for lb star
Pitbull lost to Tank and automatically became a star in the boxing world...
I respect your opinion we all aloud to have one but all those Fighters have beat very skilled fighters outside of Big Baby (Jared Anderson)
They don’t sell as much…and they don’t run as much as the fighters you just mentioned….stop making it seem like black fighters are the only ones that get hate..Canelo the face of boxing gets hella negative energy like all the black fighters you mentioned..Floyd ducked many fighters but when Canelo ducks yall don’t have the same energy…see what I mean. 😅
I have been waiting for this full interview! And so far it’s amazing !
MUCH LOVE SHAKUR YOU ARE GREAT AT WHAT YOU DO KEEP UP THE GREATNESS FAM ONE LOVE
Anyone who says Shakur is a boring fighter or anything negative about him is absolutely crazy. His skills are the best I’ve seen since Mayweather, Ali, all the greats.
Lmao. He always says he’s *‘levels above’* his apposition. But on fight night he can’t even break an egg and always goes 12 rounds. This boy is boring af as they say. Devin is more entertaining.
@@troypolamalupittsburghdynastyf😂😂😂
I dont think it matters how the victory is won. He wins unanimously majority of all fights . It may not be what you want but of course he gone talk to sale fights who dont??? @troypolamalupittsburghdynastyf
I watched the Artem fight twice to make sure I wasnt just jumping on the Shakur hate train. Hes actually boring.
1.) He rarely punched in between Artem. Just shelled up while he was throwing punches then initiated his own offense once Artem was done.
2.) He only throws 2 punch combinations max
3.) He doesnt try to get the TKO when he has him hurt.
You can have skills and still be a boring fighter. Nobody is arguing the skills.
Shakur is the man great interview.
In the beginning, Andre Ward saying that he was honored by Shakur's love for his style shows he's a humble guy. Also, the respect he has for Shakur.
Loving this show 💯 🥊🥊
Andre is doing things right and the old school way. This is how the game will still be breathing because of a Andre 💯facts
Shakur's last fight was only disappointing because he didn't show me anything new. But prior to the fight, i knew he had the skills to be one of the best. And i still believe he is one of the best.
You must don’t know boxing and just in the crowd like everybody else, what more do he have to do, at this point yall just talking to be honest. He might not of let his hands go but he is a defensive fighter
@@Kudoe_Edney you know how to read? I'm literally saying that even though he didn't show me anything new in his arsenal - he doesn't have to, because he didn't need to prove to me that he needed more than he already had in order to be great.
Shakur a beast I just don’t like that Tank fight for him because I feel like Tank could really hurt him. But this boxing and that fight gotta happen.
Naw he needs his ass humbled he talk to much time to prove all that shit he say he can do
I use to think I was going to win a lot of money on that fight. That was before Shakur’s last two fights. It seems Shakur doesn’t like to be hit. & that’s a real problem. I’m happy that fight didn’t happen because I would’ve lost a lot of money
I like Shakur however it's Tank by murder
For him to have 9 siblings and to be the OLDEST and under 30 is VERY commendable he kept his head on straight and he’s providing for his family
Great interview on both parts the hate u get is crazy SS if I’m not mistaken the art of boxing is to hit and not get hit all the sleep sh*t is just wanting to see you lose I rock with you from Trenton NJ to Newark we in here keep doing you don’t change for nobody 💪🏾💪🏾🥊🥊NJ#SS
I’m from Newark, & Shakur needs to take *newark* off his shorts & replace it with *Texas.* He left as soon as he turns pro. That’s part of his problem.
@@Ishbikeshater 😂😂😂
@@Blessbbyftl no, I had love for him. However, he needs to take *newark* off his shorts if he’s not going to represent it right. *He’s in Texas now,* he’s been in Texas since he turned pro. That was along time ago. He’s definitely acting like a Charlo brother.
@@Ishbikeshave you ever considered he has a huge family, he’s the oldest & breadwinner……why stay in Newark when you can get ACRES in Texas (or Atlanta shiddd the SOUTH period) for the cost of one tiny ass house in Jersey? He grew up in Newark so he will ALWAYS represent Newark but people have a RIGHT to do what’s best for them for their own personal reasons without our own people screaming this stupid sh*t. 😒
Let’s go SOG! Good work! #boxing #boxingnews
Another one (Great Interview)!
Shakur gotta take accountability for all the talking he does. That’s why the standards are higher for the performance required!
Great interview. Shakur don't be emotional about opinions. Remember most of these critics know nothing about boxing. And Arum has a track record all of the best fighters did much better once they left him. Arums biggest misrepresented fighter was Crawford. It's horrible what he did to Bud. Bud should've became a household name 7 years ago. Bud was supposed to fight Manny Pacquiao and Bob blocked that fight. We're NEVER going to be treated fairly because of the God's we are. You're definitely one of the best fighters in the game.
Two of the best
Yesirrr💯💯
Shakur is a good kid. If he keeps the right people around him, he'll be good. I like his energy. This was a dope interview
MY GUY SHAKUR KEEP BEING GREAT BRO 💎💎💎💎💎
Very good convo. I like seeing SOG give out game on camera 🐐💯💯
I like Shakur if you think he's a boring fighter you don't like boxing you like the violence aspect
They just don’t know boxing 🥊 period and it’s so many levels to this shit, you have to be a fighter to understand only
Thing they can say Is he don’t let his hands go but the way he beat mf
Up
They don’t even be wanting to
Swing lol
Shakur is top 5 P4P and most of the people who watch boxing aren’t smart enough to realize it 💯
Violence is boxing sir, this is not tennis. The nature of boxing itself is violent.
@@RenzoPeterson153 I agree and disagree although there is violence in boxing there is a lot of strategy like chess. The difference in style technique setups is what most hardcore fans and people who train enjoy.
Shakira runs around the ring everytime 😂 tank gon dump his ass off
Two of my favorite guys by far and the main reason why I love boxing.. they love to win the right way...ONE
MOST TALKED AND THE MOST VIEWED DOESN’T EQUATE TO SELLS NO DISRESPECT JUST FACTS
NOT TRUE IT EQUATES TO SALES IF MOST BELIEVE YOU WILL GET YOUR ASS WHOOPED AND CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU LOSE TO THERE (EXCITING FIGHTER) SO THEY CAN TELL SOMEBODY I TOLD YOU SO IT ABSOLUTELY SALES BUDDY. BUT IF YOU KEEP WASTING TIME LETTING FIGHTERS LIKE PITBULL AND TANK DUCK AND PUTTING HIM IN THERE WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW HE GONE BEAT THAT WONT SALE ESPECIALLY TO CASUAL FANS WHICH DRIVE THE REVENUE IN THE SPORT
@@LUCIENH82 if he would step on the gas and get the people “who don’t belong in the ring with him “ out of there it would help but u don’t see where he could improve on that. you still think that it equates to sales which it doesn’t. People hate on Devin wanted n seen him take a L did it sell how they thought it would ? Maybe but did it sell how it was hyped up to be no just like Spence vs Crawford
Stop hating 🤡this is just the beginning don’t worry after he beats tank he’ll be the face of boxing 🤣💯
That’s true. Bud is hands down the best boxer in the game right now and can’t sell. But who cares! Selling don’t matter! Winning in the ring does matter! He’s been avoided like a super villain by the PBC and everyone else.
@@Boxingguru114 this yall issue and Shakurs biggest issue yall cant accept constructive criticism i literally didn’t disrespect him whatsoever and yet here you are claiming im hating
Great job Dre!! Happy you doing these interviews! Exactly what boxing need!
Black Muslim brother here appreciate u SS . Glory to u Inshallah 👌🏾
If your a Muslim you shouldn’t talk about Race
As Salaamu Alaikum, but all the glory is due to Allah SWA beloved
La akhi, all glory is to Allah
He is a good dude. That's really easy to go against in this social media world. He is a super talented hard working confident competitive young dude. He believes in his skills more so than most boxers, he wants the smoke and will have to be protected from himself at times. I'm a fan of the skills and the kid.
Oscar said shakur the most talented boxer he’s ever seen
Facts and he is
I don't understand how one of the great ones Andre Ward can look this man in the face and not tell his man the truth how can you blow up like you one of the best fighters out there fighting garbage fights and fighting nobody can't understand it can I watch this no more Andre Ward tell that man the truth stop gas lightning he needs to fight if he call himself a fighter nobody wants to see no 100% Master sparring partner and that's nothing personal towards him I will tell anybody that claimed to be something that they not the same thing just because he get his feelings hurt everybody gives him a pass but the truth always comes out and he's not that Sakur you need to worry about the people's feelings the people that's close to you are not buying your fights your daughter's not buying your fights it's the public that's buying your face and betting money on you to see if they're going to make some money with you stop saying you're not worried about the people because if you're not worried about the people you should be giving free fights instead of stealing money for pretend fights in line to the public saying what you going to do to somebody but you're not doing it
Facts they gassing his ass up to get put to sleep I hate fake ass people tell him wussup that’s what real friends do
Same thing for Haney Mfkas need to stop playin dumb
All fighters say Shakur is the best and all the fans say Shakur is boring. I like him and can’t wait til mfkrs start feeling his power
What power 😂?
Honestly he is the closest fighter I have ever seen to the greatest. No 🧢!
Hit! Don’ get hit!
He had power at 130. Seems it didn’t carry over to 135, & he doesn’t like being hit. That’s a problem
Keep having Andre Ward interview these great boxers👍🏽🔥
I love Shakur style of fighting... Also respect how he own his style despite the criticism.
Glad to see Andre Ward finding success as a great interviewer. I really hate when the person that is interviewing not know anything about boxing. This opens up a space for those great fighter in retirement to continue on in boxing. So many stories when a fighter loses boxing he loses himself. Like me and many other fighters. Casuals do it realize that boxing is a marathon. The longer you can last in the sport the possibility to earn more money increases. But so many obstacles that can hinder you for your average fighter. Shout out Kings boxing and Vacaville PAL. And those who have found themselves in the sweet science.
Shakur all facts 💯
Shakur. Just from what I see. He is very talented and skilled. The look in his face though when he's fighting; looking scared in the eyes, making that face. It looks like he is afraid to get hit. He very rarely slips a punch and tags you anymore. He totally avoids the mix up. He evades to the point where it's like resetting. Super intelligent feet, but not letting his hands fly. All that can be improved upon. He's got to get off that bike, sit down on his punches and go. That's what I keep tuning in to see. The old Bob Arum didn't hepl much either with opposition selection to showcase his skills. He'll get it together soon though. Shakur has the tools to be great.
29:23 they gone make me me’s of us 😂😂

U caught that too?? 😂
Someone gotta tell him its not pronounced like that lol
@@anyes8623 dawg I was legit crying 😂

They gonna make memes of Shakur saying memes!
I'm really loving Ward's show. I really like Shakur. He still hasn't shown he is a mind blowing fighter. He never shows up and delivers what he says he will. No excuses Shakur!!!! Fight!!! Show some fuking heart!!! Tooo complacent!
Usyk and Loma don’t talk like killers so they don’t get held to the same standard. Color may have something to do with it but they have higher expectations of us. Tank doesn’t talk half as tough as this guy and all he does is take people out.
Y’all weird with this lame excuse to hate on this kid wtf are y’all talking about lol
@@brandonpenn9887 I was a fan but just don’t like the kid. Bud is my favorite fighter but I thinks he’s champ outside and inside the ring, this kid plays hood and hides behind J Prince.
Hold this thought when Tank gets schooled by Shakur lol
I loved watching that,damn,keep up the great work both of you all.
may Allah continue to bless my nephew SS family n friends Insha'allah n alhumdillah ameen sub-pana-lah. Newark nj16thave aka BRICKZ CITY 💯

He a Texas boy now! Marvin Hagler is a *real* Newark fighter. Shakur scared to get hit. Be blessed though..
@@Ishbikes your comment makes no sense.
@@Tremelle_ it does. I’m really from Newark. That kid left too early, that’s why he has no discipline. If that’s your family, you should’ve raised him better. Instead he’s online talking about dudes better *strap up.*

This young man will soon be pound for pound number 1 and will not be appreciated until it’s too late
Wtf?😂😂
The fruit pop generation, they don't respect or appreciate shit
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
P4P most boring fighter on the planet 😂😂😂😂
Big up Andre, great interview, big shout out to Shakur, young brotha keep your head up and stay strong don't let the negative energy get in your way.
Shakur vs Joe Cordina is next. Does anyone give Cordina a chance???
Cordina is teaming up with trainer ben davidson so it should be interesting. But no, Cordina will lose
Great interview, people are going to over analyze someone they don’t like and Ignore the same thing for the fighters they do. Shakur is learning major props to him and Ward is a great mentor to him 🔥
Idk why people always got to bring race into boxing. Shakur saying fans only clown black fighters when they lose is not true. Ryan got clowned when he lost to Tank and had memes made about him too but he was able to bounce back and get more wins which is why people started respecting him again. It's more so if the fighter is loud and talks a big game and then loses that fans clown them. It's got nothing to do with race.
He just talking in general and race have a lot to do with it, and I understand what he saying a lot of people don’t wanna believe race have a lot to do with shit, only people say shit like that is people that’s not the same color
@@Kudoe_Edney no race only has something to do with it because fans and fighters always want to bring race into it. Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali are both black and have multiple losses yet fans still adore them. It's about how you carry yourself that makes fans turn on you when you lose. If you're a trash talker then of course fans will clown you when you take an L. Just like Conor McGregor is white but fans clown him in his losses because he talks a lot.
Boxing is built on race the question is "Why do people pretend it's not?!"
Bullshit
@@pullcounterboxing how is boxing built on race? It's ignorant people bringing up race that makes boxing a race war.
Tank would never make “ ring rust “ excuses. Bro said you’re responsible for training camp but just said “ I never been out the ring that long “
He literally said he was rusty right after the Frank Martin fight. 😂😂 Stop tonsil boxing. 😭
@@TUFFGloveBoxingyea and he still knocked him out. It’s not like Tank was running all fight
@@Slayerboy450thats true… but it’s not the point…. Original comment stated an biased opinion and dude replied with a SOLID FACT….. Tank Literally said he was a lil rusty after knocking Frank out!
We All SAY IT A NEVER TIL IT HAPPENED, we all do it
Stop the 🧢 and he's 🦆 Shakuar now with excuses. He's available to fight in November and yet Tank looking for someone else to fight In November 😩
Man, I just found the channel and Dre is instantly one of my favorite fighter interviewers. I appreciate you man, this channel is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man bro, as a fan of boxing. I fuck with shakur. He has good attributes that can potentially produce a good fight yet He does too much deflecting and no self reflecting 😂. It’s wild. Like bro.. Now it’s a race thing. Gang, you act like other black boxers get hate.. it’s only like 3 or 4 and they are the super hyped up ones
Great interview from two amazingly talented fighters man. Great shit man. Good to expose a piece of your heart in a different manner. Shit I am far from a pro but I fight and can not stand these folks 💯 I get on they ahhhhh for yal when I feel it’s right tho and that’s a fact respect ✊🏾
Man i like Shakur but he need to stop with the cap. De Los Santos was engaging with him so he can't blame him for his performance. He was just scared, and once he felt his power, and realized he was just at good at countering and just as fast as him, all he could do is run and fight him the way he fought. He tried to blame Artem for not engaging when Artem was stepping to him all night. He is just too defensive and cares about winning more than pleasing the fans who paid hard earned money to come watch. Which is why his stock is going down and nobody don't wanna watch him. He also needs to stop comparing himself to Loma, cause Loma is exciting and lets his hands go. He don't stand there flinching for 12 rounds and throwing 8 punches a round.
Shakur was my favorite fighter. I'm from Newark. But I have to admit, i was disappointed after the DeLa santos fight. I really hate that he never rematched and never mentions the guy. Worse, the guy is legit and now no 1 is talking about fighting the guy because of how good he looked against Shakur.
I’m from Newark too. Shakur’s issue is he didn’t build with anyone here. He left as soon as he went pro. He a Texas boy now. Marvin Hagler was a real Newark fighter. I would’ve put money on him over tank until I seen those last two fights. If he doesn’t like to be hit, idk what he’s going to do when Tank hit him.
All love boys! Thanks for keeping boxing great!! You 2 are what it's all about.
This is a good interview because Andre himself is a skillful boxer they on the same page when it comes to the topic
this guy not going to give him hard questions
6:02 I like how André Ward ask again
The kid has freak skills
Pillow fists
Thanks dre. I wasn’t part of the chorus of boos. But i did realize how it looked. I thought it was an off night. Later learned the hand story. Last fight was good, regardless of the haters who tried to control a narrative. Also, rayo showed everyone the reason cruz avoided shakur. Cruz can’t fight a boxer, he’s too limited.
Shakur so good most of y’all don’t even know what the f^ck y’all looking at when y’all do watch the fight. The level he on is so different if you never laced up and boxed Forreal you wouldn’t even understand
Much respect to shakur. Andre ward passed the torch to this man's on this one✨️👑
I just got off work and ima save this video for tonight so I can get a good nights sleep.*
This line is stale asf, you a fan clicking on his vid.
Corny, bro liked his own comment 🤡
Listening to dudes voices, helps you get a good night sleep?
@@draceoedwards431 yes it helps me doze off because he’s all talk and so boring. But not as good as your mom tho. Your moms sleep game is the best. *
Only wierdos hate on Shakur. If you love boxing you know Shakur is the best of the young bucks. But Tank would be tough test
Long story short he has less experience and skills than tank. Tank is a complete fighter, Shakur is not a complete fighter and struggled in every fight at 135.
He just talk to much sometimes
He a ok fighter he won’t beat Tank doe 😂
The blessing and the curse. If you’ve got Ward, Floyd, Bud and Claressa taking pictures with you and promoting you before you prove yourself you’d better go out there and perform!
i am going to save this interview when i need to go to sleep, Shakur always makes me go right to sleep, some sleep aid company better sponsor him soon.
Lol your search history is probably full of Shakur. Commenting 20 minutes after his video has dropped is disturbing
Big facts!!!
Best in the world
🤡
Bit gay
In all honesty, truthfully, i feel like Boxing fans have/had very high expectations for Shakur but based on what theyve seen thus far, i think people are starting to doubt those expectations, the style and performances Shakur has shown, has produced wins but it hasnt produced fans, especially not casual fans, seems like he's losing fans or not necessarily "losing" fans but garnering more expectations from his fans, people think he'll probably end up like "Bud" if he keeps winning... great fighter, highly decorated but doesnt really produce sells, Shakur may be on that trajectory but he speaks like he should be in the convo with the elite boxers that sell ppv consistently, make the most money cause they get the biggest fights, the "show" makes the money 💰
shakur stevensson is not the most talked about...
Yes he is one of the most talk about fighters in the sport.
Is that why you clicked on the video?? You all are obsessed with this guy

27:55 REAL BOXING FANS will NOT just throw away fighters who lost fights. REAL FANS appreciate the fact YOU (FIGHTERS) are fighting the best. Besides EVERYONE loves a comeback story. 🥊✊🏾🇺🇸💯🥊
Mayweather did it gotta keep that 0 and ward is mad understanding of what shakur saying cause he still got his 0 lls ain’t nobody tryna lose that mf this ain’t the 70s or 80s Leonard duran haggler days
Just show him how to control the distance so he's not too far away to counter like Roy said. And inside fighting. He'll be fine.
Dre is a great interviewer
Great conversation!
I agree with Dre and Shakur, The Black fighter finally lose his O he's washed up, Canelo lose to Bivol and fans never criticized Canelo for ducking the rematch, The politics in Boxing is terrible
You’re full of shit foo lmao!
Haney was the most hated and then he got all the love! We as fans see what’s up. Shakir talks a whole lot and doesn’t deliver. It’s like stay in your lane my boy.
Great interview and Shakur really is that guy!!
tank has 12 rounds to hit this boy 1 time..
Great interview all the greats had losses this is why we dont always see the best vs the best
Good interview 👍🏾🥊

No, what Floyd did was box, Stevenson flat out jumps back two feet and continues to do so every time someone comes forward, there's a difference
@@KJVII why bring up Floyd? I think Shakur out-landed everyone he’s faced so your take isn’t valid in any way, it’s hit an not get hit, if you got legs use em. I got time today so go ahead respond with another sour take.
@@TheRingTheMaster because you're trying to pull the race card just like he is, you can box without using your legs, ever heard of lateral movement? I'm sure you got time every day 😂, where you get sour from? Stevenson boxing career doesn't affect my life at all, just giving my take 🤷
@@KJVII lateral movement is literally your legs, side to side and back and forth, you have brain rot
It’s worse when people like shakur tough talk and talk about knocking people out but don’t deliver and running around just makes it look worse
The examples he uses are imprecise in my opinion. Loma made a "legend of the sport" (Rigo) quit on his stool after half a fight. Loma drops fighters and fought an 11 year younger, and bigger superchampion in Haney and still brought the heat. Usyk might have some boring fights, but then again he has tons of exciting ones as well in his resume. I hope this guys' race-focus doesn't stop him from becoming a great.
I'm a fan of Shakur, great fighter but he needs to get off that " people call me boring because I'm a young black fighter" STOP! Loma has NEVER been in a boring fight...Rigo was making everyone he fought look silly, Loma stayed in the pocket all night, made Rigo miss & pay for it!
Lol
I love Loma but the Padrasa fight and the first half of the Teo fight was boring all the greats had boring fights
@@oj-2258 he actually right today fans of boxing have all turned they attention off Floyd and on to this generation of black fighters Floyd got called every name in the book bc he couldn’t be beat inside the ring so now they have to diminish his name outside it by calling him boring or a runner but shakur is just a master BOXER he boxes he’s there to hit and not be hit and why would you bring up loma vs rigo rigo was two weight classes below and moved up that’s why that fight was one sided y’all gotta stop holding double standards for fighters yall like and ones yall don’t bc the fighters you like you won’t dare tell them to fight the guy you call boring bc he would get outboxed yall need to learn what the sport of boxing is if all yall care to see is a knockout go watch bare knuckle brawling it’s called BOXING for a reason and again the double standards come from fans calling loma the matrix and calling shakur a runner both use they foot to not get hit again holding double standards
@chriskarim3134 Name 1 fighter who fights like Floyd (money may not pretty boy) or Shakur? This isn't a style Mexican fighter use, eastern European fighters or Asian fighters....so it's not a race thing it's a style thing! Then Shakur is mad that black folks are criticizing him like they should cheer for him just because they are the same race....thats stupid! Shakur is a great fighter and he doesn't need to go out there & brawl but throwing 1 punch at a time and not taking any chances will not win him any new fans.
@@chriskarim3134
Shakur has to understand that when he has belt nobody’s gonna fight him for it because of how he performed against Dela santos. He beat Valdez but got hit with the straight right hand clean in every round. Nobody believes that he can dog someone. He had the opportunity to fight Martin then it’s a money problem because Errol is involved…Dude is crazy, support black fighters but he asked for more when it comes to fighting those guys
Start fighting 3 times a year . What else do you need to do in order for the fans to understand from you as a fighter?
Shakur is a true Throw Back Fighter he will come out on top
No TF not
😂😂😂😂
Love this. 2 of my favorite boxers. That tank fight gotta happen soon! and Salute to Ward i'm not sure I have ever seen an interviewer who was actually a champion and knows the ins and outs of the game. It's usually a boxing fan doing the interviews. Even Tyson had another person asking questions on hot boxing. Ward is a natural and great at balancing talking and listening. You cant be an interviewer talking all the time. You have to let the person talk. Nore is a victim of that alot and Vlad. Talking too much. Yes give your insight but let the person talk. It should be 30% interviewer(if you have something to offer) and 70% guest. If you have no input , be quiet. A great example of this is Art of Dialogue. He starts off with the question and sits back. He will interject if he has something to offer but otherwise he lets the guest go. Again great job ward. Keep em coming.
Correction☝🏼Andre Ward lost his first fight to Kovalev that fight was a Robbery💯 and Did not want to Engage? 🤦🏻♂️Shakur could not figure out De Los Santos and Ducked him, and Artum was in the pocket in his face the whole night and Shakur did not Capitalize👎🏻 and Loma Stopped Rigodeux 😂Don’t speak on that fight
I agree with Shakur as far as we don't stand with each other and that's sad
Him and dev 2 of my favorite fighters and are the most hated I’m excited to watch them continue to make these mfs sick, they both are going to be on top for a long time💯
