Gatling Gun” Zepeda Vs. “Pop Gun” Shakur: Teofimo Lopez’s Blunt Take On July 12th

Teofimo Lopez Says He Want to see Wbc Lightweight Shakur Stevenson Put His Punches Together, Throwing More Than One at a time Next Month in His Defense Against Volume Puncher William Zepeda on July 12th in Queens, New York.

Lopez Believes that shakur (23-0, 11 kos) will strggle if he tries to beat zepeda (33-0, 27 kos) by throwing potshots, which is the typical style of fighting that he’s used his entine pro and amateur career. That approache won’t be practical against the relentless zepeda, who can throw over 100 punches per round with power.

Zepeda’s Gatling Gun Offense

William Zepeda’s Offense is like a 19th-Century Multi-Barreled, Rapid-Firing, Hand-Cranked GATLING GUNand He doesn’t stop throwing. Shakur’s Pop Gun Style of Throwing Punches Would Be No Match For Zeped’s Higher Rate of Fire Offense.

Stevenson’s defense is designed to avoid headshots. He’s Excellent and Leaning or Pulling Back to Avoid Getting Hit To The Head. However, Zepeda Focuses on Throwing To The Body, and That’s An Area Stevenson Can’t Protect If He’s Going To Follow Teofimo’s Advice of Throwing Combinations.

Lopez’s 50/50 Shakur View

“Shakur [Stevenson] Knows How to Box Fighters Like That [William Zepeda]. I’m hoping to see shakur throw more combinations. If not, it could be 50/50 fight, ”Said Teofimo Lopez to The RingGiving His Thoughts on Next Month’s Fight Between WBC Lightweight Shakur Stevenson and William Zeped in Queens, New York.

It’s asking a lot of stevenson to stand in the pocket to throw combinations against William Zepeda, because is not the type of fighter who “Knows How to Box. Teofimo is way off with that.

Stevenson has never ferght a high-volume punching hording his pro career. The Last Time He Found A Fighter With A High-Volume Offense was in the 2016 Olympics Against Cuba’s Dressisy Ramirez. He lost that fight because he couldn’t match dressisy’s combination punching. Stevenson was Left Crying Without Tears Afterward, Unable to Fully Grasp Why He’d Lost. Now, we are about the same thing happen next month when shakur faces zepeda.

Shakur’s Glass Hands concerns

Teofimo failed to mention shakur’s Glass Hands. He doesn’t have Healthy Enough Hands to Throw the Combination Punching That He Needs to Hold Off The Machine-Like Zepeda. Shakur’s Hands Are Too Brittle for Combat and Will Fall Apart IF He’s Forced to the Pocket and Match Zeped’s Ridiculously High Output.

Shakur Threw Combinations in His Fight Last February Against Replacement Opponent Josh Padley. However, that was a Weak British Domestic-Level Fighter that Stevenson’s Promoter, Eddie Hearn, Dug up at the last minute as a substitute when his original opponent, Floyd Schofield, withddew from the fight.

Padley Had no power or any offensive Ability. He was just some random guy that hearn thing over the more danger option, Cuban Knockout Artist Jadier Herrera (17-0, 16 Kos), who would have been a nightmare for shakur. It was a was decision by hearn.

Shakur Might Have Lost to Jadier, and that would have elded his quest to get the Mega-Money Fight He’s Been Working Against Gervonta Davis.
