Shakur Stevenson says He won’t run In his fight against William Zepeda on July 12th in New York City. The WBC Lightweight Champion Stevenson (23: 0, 11 Kos) reacted to criticism this week that he would not win the fight if it comes from Zepeda (33: 0, 27 Kos). He seems to believe that Zepeda is ordered for him, which is why he tries to fight against the Mexican Knockout artist. Shakur has not shown the same willingness to fight against his #1 candidate, Andy CruzOr his “brother”, Keyshawn Davis.
The fans want Shakur to fight Zepeda instead of running against the last decent opponent, with whom he had confronted himself against Edwin de Los Santos two years ago. So that Shakur does not run in front of the high-volume puncher Zepeda, he is taken apart without four or five rounds. Under no circumstances can he adapt against the Mexican puncher.
Stevenson was booed from the T-Mobile Arena because he had run all night. His promoters have taken care of tailoring him against only low resistance in order to avoid this again. So we saw how Shakur fought against you Electrician Josh PadleyAnd a light artem Harutyunyan that corresponds to a loss and discharge from a season.
What’s wrong with Shakur?
- Boring fights: People don’t like to watch Shakurs Amateur style, which he still uses. He focuses on gate points by striking and then increasing 3 to 5 feet to avoid the exchange. It is always one blow after the other, followed by the intervention of the step backwards. Fans see that as boring.
- Soft recording: No significant victories. Stevenson chooses opponents who are not a threat to beat him. The best name of his recording is Edwin de Los Santos and he probably lost it. Although Stevenson defeated Oscar Valdez, it was washed 100% when the fight took place.
- Disturbant: On X Shakur boasts how great he is and how he is the best fighter in boxing. He brags all of this without ever fighting against someone. The fans are upset about him and see him as a fake. He wants to be worshiped, but he doesn’t have to earn it by fighting and beating the best.
- Too hard for a payment: Stevenson has helped Gervonta Davis since his arrival in Lightweight in 2023 for a fight around the clock for a fight. He just wants this payment day without earning him to take over his “brother” Keyshawn Davis, Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason and Raymond Muratalla.
I won’t run on July 12th. You don’t know if you think I’m a runner LOL https://t.co/qlgar2fvxr
