What are the odds on Stevenson vs Martin?
Sorry, we couldn’t find any odds for Stevenson vs Martin yet. If a contest doesn’t have odds initially after it is announced, bookmakers usually release them closer to the day of the fight.
Frank power shots to the body will Expose Shakurs inability to take punches to the body after 4 to 5 rounds. Unable to keep up and rely on the jab set-up, 6th 7th 8th and 9th, he will take A LOT OF PUNISHMENT unfelt before. SHAKURS corner says enough is enough late 9th, early 10th.
Power fighter is going to edge over the defensive fighter. Not saying Martin isnt as good defensive. Frank goes to the body enough to which Shakur admited then recanted about getting hurt too before. Late rounds Shakur will slow and we will see he cant handle power punches. Late 9th early 10th Shakurs corner stops the fight…. The difference will be, Frank knows he cant be hurt by Shakur, especially while Shakur is fighting going back. Taking light punches to get in and land heavy shots will cause stoppage!!!
