“It’s A Marathon,” Says Shakur Stevenson As Fans Bolt: Longevity Over Entertainment In The Boxing Rin

Shakur Stevenson published on social media today and revealed his career philosophy: “It is a marathon; Duration is everything that matters.He talks about his career and why he decides to be on the safe side, using the hit-and-and-not-hit style style. His contribution indicates that he focuses on having a long career by not being hit, even if this means boring and not observing.

Don’t have to overlook

The style is to be seen for fans, and Stevenson (23-0, 11 Kos) is one of the most most likely fighters in sport.

The Matchroom von Stevenson’s comment on “Longevity” means that it follows the long career approach. To do this, he has to limit the risks to close zero to avoid being done headshots that could slowly exhaust him. The use of his most security style fits this philosophy.

Turki Alalshikh and his organizers already pay him millions. So it doesn’t matter that his fights are boring, not entertaining and far less interesting to be observed than that of other fighters who are not paid as much as he is. He is paid even though he is not entertaining.

Shakur argues that he has conquered three divisions world championship titles, which means that he is a big fighter. But the fighters who defeated Shakur to win his belts would have beaten the fighters with 126, 130 and 135, of whom he conquered his titles.

Stevenson’s three-division title

– Edwin de los Santos – WBC lightweight
– Jamel Herring – WBO super feather weight
– Oscar Valdez – WBC and Ring super spring weight
– Joet Gonzalez – WBO feather weight

Losing laps?

Stevenson will defend his WBC Lightweight title against William Zepeda in New York on July 12th. Fans on social media hope that Shakur will not run in front of him in their co-feature fight. However, one of Stevenson’s coaches said last week that he would “take rounds to protect his hands”. The fans don’t want to hear that.

It means that Shakur will move a lot. In view of the fact that this event, which Edgar Berlanga is listed against Hamzah Sheeraz, is shown on PPV, fans will annoy the fans that Stevenson will move all night.

It is a marathon, durability is everything that counts
