Tim Bradley slams Shakur Stevenson over a claim going into the Foster vs Ford fight in live boxing tonight.
Shakur Stevenson knows Ray ‘Savage’ Ford well. In fact the cousin of Shakur Stevenson is training Ray Ford for his world title fight tonight in live boxing vs Foster.
Former welterweight champion Tim Bradley thinks Stevenson is just sending in Ford to get info for him for a possible fight himself with super-featherweight champion Foster tonight.
Hold up for a second, some points to note on Tim Bradley’s “Minion” Claim:
- Bradley accused Shakur Stevenson of sending Ray Ford as his “minion” to fight Foster for scouting data.
- He called Ford a “baby replica” of Shakur — a dialed-down stylistic clone.
- The fight is the a super featherweight title bout happening today (Foster vs Ford).
- Foster himself called Ford a “lower version” of Shakur who mimics his style.
- Bradley says a dominant Foster win would remove Shakur’s excuses to avoid him.
- Ford and Shakur have known training/sparring connections.
- This fits Bradley’s ongoing criticism of Shakur’s selective matchmaking.
- No concrete proof exists that the fight was deliberately set up as a scouting mission.
- Bradley referenced rumors of Foster dominating Shakur in sparring.
- Bradley wants Shakur to fight the winner (favoring Foster) next.
Stevenson himself recently won a wide UD points win over Teofimo Lopez and is being talked about in a number of fights at the moment.
Foster is not guaranteed to win tonight, Foster vs Ford is a heck of a battle in live boxing tonight.
Let’s see if Tim Bradley is proved right later.
