This is why I knew when Wilder was saying Shaw was next that the fight would not happen. Shaw is too dangerous for Wilder at this point.

Great win for Shaw, and he really needed this.
He shines when he gets aggressive.

[MulaKO]

Brutal knockout

I've always felt Shaw was a somewhat solid enough HW but he reminds me a bit of Tor Hamer.
One of the more skilled American HWs but he just lacks killer instinct.

While I don't ever see him winning a world title or anything I feel if you could instil a bit of belief into him it'd do wonders.

When he's aggressive and sits down on his punches he does well but he almost has this sparring partner mentality where he fights way too tentative.
