Floyd Schofield Sr. says his son Floyd Jr. won’t lose against WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson on February 22 in Riyadh. He says fans are stumbling when they believe Schofield Jr (18-0, 12 KOs). is only brought up for that reason.
Boxing fans believe that Floyd Jr. and his father are only talking about this fight because of the money. They don’t believe they can win and are dominated by Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs). DAZN PPV.
The way they pushed for this fight and ignored promoter Oscar De La Hoya who said Floyd Jr. needed more experience makes it seem like this is all about the money. If Schofield Jr. had at least one good win on his resume, fans would believe he really wants to win.
“We come to win”
“We’re not going out there to lose. You’re annoying everyone. We defied all odds. “I tell Oscar (De La Hoya) to make the fight and we’ll go forward against all odds,” Floyd Schofield Sr. continued social mediaabout his son’s fight against WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson on February 22nd.
“We are used to fighting with our backs against the wall because we have something to fight for. We break generational curses. We enjoy it. We’re going out to fuck. I hope you all join the fight.
“We thank Shakur for the opportunity. We will continue to remain humble because it is time to grow in our lives. I want to be humble and spread love, but at no point will we lose a mental battle against ourselves. Come on now, this requires all of you to be honest,” Schofield Sr. said.
It says a lot about Shakur that he chose 22-year-old Schofield Jr. as his opponent instead of the many more qualified competitors like Andy Cruz, Edwin De Los Santos, Raymond Muratalla, Jose “Rayo” Velazquez or Isaac. Pit bull ‘Cruz. Stevenson doesn’t want to lose before he gets the fight against Gervonta “Tank” Davis. By selecting Floyd Jr., Shakurs ensures he won’t get beaten.
“You already know who I am by now. You can all watch on the internet. I will be a more humble version of myself and a calmer version. The bottom line is that we will compete to win. We know we’re the underdogs and we love that,” Schofield said.
Floyd Sr. needs to keep talking because he is the only one who is truly promoting this fight. For his part, Shakur has done nothing to spice up the game, and Schofield Jr. is also silent. He is not a speaker.
Excitement in Riyadh?
“So please don’t lose all your money betting on Shakur. Do not be angry with me. Don’t make up nonsense just because you lost your family’s money betting on Shakur. We have to prove what we say and we go out there to rock,” said Schofield r.
“The WBC title is at stake and the new one. I’m telling you all. Go back to sleep. You will all have a nightmare. Go to sleep, Shakur,” Floyd Sr. said.
Schofield’s only chance to win is to knock out Shakur because he won’t win a decision. For that matter, he may not even win a round. The way Floyd Jr. fought in his last fight against Rene Tellez Giron on November 2nd, he doesn’t belong in the same ring as Stevenson.
