William Zepeda Expects A Technical Shakur Stevenson

William Zepeda (33-0, 27 KOS) will challenge the WBC World Lightweight Championship on July 12th in New York Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOS). The match will hold the most offensive fighter in relation to the edition, William Zepeda, against the most defensive boxer Shakur Stevenson.

Zepeda has an average starting rate of 93.9 beats per round, while Stevenson is the boxer, which is least hit against him with an average of 5.4 strokes per round (Compubox). Make for a very interesting matchup.

When asked how he believes that Shakur will deal with his constant pressure, Zepeda said: “After what we have seen, he will move through the ring, but we will have a good strategy. This seems to be the standard stevenon: minimize the damage that he minimizes by boxing on the outside of the damage Was, he was hit much more.

It is doubtful that he will pursue an offensive approach to Zepeda, an opponent who has a knockout rate of 81.8 percent. The last Power Puncher Shakur was Edwin de Los Santos, and in this game he used a very defensive approach. He was very similar to what Zepeda previously described, constant lateral movement and held out of range by maintaining a secure distance from de los Santos. His minimum output rate of 209 strokes was the slightest that he thrown in a 12-round match. After the fight, Shakur said that he had an injury that led to his low work rate.

When Zepeda was asked about the defensive versus offensive dichotomy, he said: “It will be a very interesting fight, a good fight. Where our strategy will keep us afloat.” He did not go into details, but to be able to cut the ring and minimize Steveson’s lateral movement is the key to achieve any kind of offensive success. He also has to be a trigger quickly and quickly throw his strokes, since Shakur only gives him very limited opportunities to land. It has a slight advantage of one and a half centimeters; He has to throw his thrust when he is within reach.

Stevenson is a defensive mastermind, but faces his most difficult challenge in an offensive volume -Puncher, who knows how he can put his opponents immense.
