The Promoter Eddie Hearn says that Shakur Stevenson’s profile rose because last year he signed with the wide room and claims “big fighting” with them. The fans disagree with Hearn. They feel that Stevenson’s stock was constantly falling since last year due to a broad match and his performance against Josa Padlei. He needed nine rounds to pull out electricians.
He expects Stevenson (23-0, 11 Kos) to shine in defending his VBC lightweight against William Zepeda (33-0, 27 hp) 12. July in New York.
Stevenson must look like gold in this fight, because he wants to be desirable to fight Gervont “Davis” Davis. If it’s on her bike all night, the tank won’t want to have anything to do with him. He won’t want to chase Shakur around the ring.
Listen “Big Fights” Harn
“I believe that we have been working together in a short time, he had great fights, he earned great money, and his profile continued to grow,” Eddie Promoter in Brian Campbel said YouTube Channel, the story of Shakur Stevenson.
For the record, Shakur had fought only once Since the signing contract with two fights with Hearn companies in August 2024. years. If one fight was against Josh Padlay this year 22. February. When Hearn says Shakur had “some great struggles”, because he signs with him, it was slightly excluded. An electrician, Padley, was the first Stevenson fight, and William Zepeda would be his second 12. July.
Shakur’s profile reduced further from arrival on board with wisten, because he decided to fight for Padley as his replacement opponent after Floyd Schofield pulled out last February. Stevenson was stupid to agree to the idea that Padley was used as his replaceable opponent.
These were 3 options to replace Shakura.
- Herrera kernel: Unoriented candidate with a recorder of 17-0 with 15 knockouts. He would be dangerous for Shakur because of his strength, size and young.
- Josh Padley: Electricizer who hit the light with four nockings that eventually chose. Listen, how to report, recommended Padley as a replacement. If the idea was to ensure that Shakur continued long enough to get the fighting Gervonta Davis, Choosing Padley was a way to do so. Jadier Herrera would be too risky because he has power and talent. It’s NE-No, Shakur’s shot.
- Moussa Gholam: Moroccan fighter without significant victories and marginal strengths. It’s surprisingly this guy isn’t chosen, but a better blow from Padley. So, if the idea was to choose the least of three for Shakur, Padley was the best.
Shakur’s reputation at risk
“I think this struggle is the perfect fight to show how great (Shakur) is. I just feel that the style is really suitable to have fun,” Hearing in Stevenson said.
Zepeda is a style bad for Shakur, who will not have a choice but to escape from it 12 rounds to pull it on victory. He will not be able to stand and struggle because the zepeda is insultingly superior to them.
This struggle is likely to be similar to Shakur fought against Edvin de Los Santos, running around the Ring for 12 rounds. The critique that Devin Haney took over his timefresses against Jose Ramirez, 2. May there will be nothing compared to them on Stevenson.
