Post fight interview
Shakur Stevenson (21-0) won his third world title on Thursday in Las Vegas, but in many ways it feels like he lost something.
Stevenson’s defensive ability proved king against Edwin De Los Santos (16-2) as the Newark native won by unanimous decision (116-112×2, 115-113) and won the WBC lightweight title – his third championship in as many divisions.
“De los Santos made CompuBox history tonight. His 40 punches are the fewest punches thrown in a 12-round fight in Compubox’s 38-year history. In the co-main event, Emmanuel Navarrete landed 23 power punches in the 11th round. Stevenson and De los Santos landed 19 and 14 power punches, respectively, in 12 rounds. Neither fighter reached double figures in punches in any round. Stevenson won the fight with 46 jabs.
