REPORTED · Social Beef · Rumor-Meter: COLD 🔵 (it's trash talk, not talks)
Report cards are out, and somebody's contesting the grade. 📝
On Saturday night, Floyd Schofield beat Lucas Bahdi by unanimous decision in Chicago to win the vacant WBA lightweight title. Shortly after, Shakur Stevenson handed out letter grades on X, typo and all:
"A C lever fighter beat a F level fighter!!" (@ShakurStevenson on X, Oct 10, 8:46 PM PT)
Lever, sweetie. We'll grade the spelling another day. 😘
Bahdi saw it two days later and did not take the F quietly:
"Just seeing this. Well this "F level fighter" would put your little running ass on the canvas and to Zzzzzz.
Keep focused on Zuffa actually getting you a fight. @Zuffa_Boxing @MostVpromotions" (@PrinceBahdi on X, Oct 12, 8:30 AM PT)

BoxingNews24 points out the gap Bahdi is aiming at: "Shakur is grading other fighters while his own next bout remains unsettled." Their read is that the knockout claim "is something Bahdi would have to prove," but that the Zuffa jab "is harder to ignore."
Shakur's actual next fight? Haney vs Stevenson has been reported as targeted for Nov 28 but isn't signed (see our draft 01). That's why "get Zuffa to book you" stings a little.
Shakur punched down at a guy who just went 12 rounds for a world title, and climbed off the canvas in the 11th. Bahdi punched up at a champion. Points to the underdog for the comeback line. Still, nobody is negotiating Bahdi vs Stevenson, so the meter stays firmly COLD.
Who won the X exchange?
Bonus: If they ever fought, who wins? Stevenson by decision / Stevenson by KO / Bahdi upset
