Shakur Stevenson vs Edwin De Los Santos
November 16th, 2023

Despite having the reach and height advantage, when it comes to boxing, there are different levels and Edwin is just not on the same level as Shakur.

Shakur is too defensively responsible as a boxer which makes him a great counter puncher, also his punch speed & fight IQ is a skill that everyone he has fought has lost to.

Edwin also seems too trigger happy when it comes to letting go of his hands and once he sees an opening he commits so hard he overthrows. With greed like that Shakur will capitalize and will counter.

Considering all aspects from both fighters Shakur Stevenson will win by unanimous decision by outboxing Edwin the entire match.

Devin Haney vs Regis Prograis

December 9th, 2023

Regis is a good boxer who focuses on making the opponent overshoot their punches and counters accordingly. Has a tendency to lean forward to throw a jab, followed by an overhand.

Haney as a boxer is at an elite level of skill that most cannot compare to. His fight IQ and ability to adjust on the fly is supperior to most of his opponents. Moreover Haney uses his jab to almost an excessive amount wins him the distance battle, his hand speed and accuracy allow for him to break down and outbox the competition.

Overall, Haney will win this fight by either unanimous decision or K.O. In round 8 or later.
