Interestingly, he has been facing only scrubs since then, suggesting that his promoter does not want to repeat the fact that he is booed from the venue, as he was in the Battle of Delos Santos. I’ve never heard a fighter boo from round four until they left the ring. The crowd at T-Mobile Arena was booing Shakur as he walked into the dressing room after the fight.
