Shakur Stevenson on if he might be interested in fighting Liam Paro after he beat Subriel Matias
“Yeah, I mean depending on how big he get. When I say bigger, like is he going to become a bigger star and become like a big fight and make it fun and something I would like to do? Yeah, I wouldn’t mind. I sparred numerous of rounds with Paro and I’m pretty sure Liam Paro knows how good I am and he can sit there and cap to the media and all that, but like truthfully speaking he know what level I’m on.”
On if he was surprised Paro beat Matias
“Actually, yeah, I kind of was surprised but I be kind of basing things off me being in the ring with certain people and don’t realize I’m on a super high level so I can’t compare my experience with Liam versus the experience that Subriel had. So I was kind of surprised just because with me — I’m basing it off me and him being in the ring. But congrats to him, he put up a hell of a fight and Liam shocked the world.”
