After watching Schofield 18-0, 12 KOs) turn his back on Giron (20-4, 13 KOs) in the third round and nearly hit the brain in the back of the head, WBC lightweight champion Shakur said to X: “Food”. He also said Schofield is lucky Giron didn’t “clip” him when he turned his back and walked away in the middle of an exchange in the third round.

Giron then knocked out Schofield with a big left hook in round 11. Shakur saw that too, and he has to be confident about his chances of winning a fight against Schofield. Floyd Sr said in the post-fight press conference that Shakur needs to fight Kid Austin.

Schofield won tonight by a 12 round unanimous decision. The scores were 118-109, 116-11 and 118-109.

“Now that he’s shown that he’s vulnerable, it’ll give him the courage to get in the ring,” Floyd Schofield Sr. said. to the media about his son, “Kid Austin”, who appeared to fight against Rene Tellez Giron on Saturday night. .

“In my opinion, Shakur doesn’t have power like Rene. So, I’m ready,” Schofield Jr. said. “I felt that after he caught me with the knockdown, I thought, ‘You know what? I want this to go all the way to the 12th round,” because I wanted to give the fans what they wanted to see.

“After the shootdown, I thought, ‘You know what? We beat the whole fight.”

“Shakur is one of the greatest. That’s why we want to fight with him and Tank,” said Schofield Sr. “Shakur needs someone exciting like Kid. If Shakur keeps fighting boring, his brain is going to keep going down. He needs Kid, Pitbull and Tank. He needs those aggressive fighters.”
