Promoter Eddie Hearn isn’t worrried about where wbc lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson’s Brittle Hands Will Hold Up Under the Nonstop Pressure That is put on Him by the Relentless Volume Puncher William Zepeda on July 12th in Queens, New York.
Hearn Believes that Stevenson (23-0, 11 kos) will fight through the bread if his glass hands shamer against zepeda (33-0, 27 kos) and continues to hit him ultil he scores a knockout.
Shakur has knocked out only two fighters sincere moving up to 135, Josh Padley and Shuichiro Yoshino. Those Fighters Resembly Lower-Tatier Fighters. It’s understandable Why Stevenson’s promoters Them Over the Dangerous Contenters.
“Becuse of the style, i think he’s going to land a lot of punches on William Zepeda. He’s had a check and His Hands Are Fine. But in a fight where you landing a lot of power punches against an aggressive fighter, [hand injury problems can occur]”Said Eddie Hearn To Ring Magazine About the possibility of shakur Stevenson’s fragile Hands Falling Apart Against William Zepeda.
What is Hearn Talking about? Shakur is not “Going to land a lot of punches” on Zepeda, Becuse that would mean that he would need to be in the pocket. He physically can’t do that against a volume puncher like zepeda, who will break him down to the body.
Even If Shakur’s Glass Hands Stay Together, He Will Be Worn Down by Nonstop Shots from Zepeda, Particularly to the Head and Body. He’s Stopped Tougher Fighters Than Stevenson, and He’ll do the Same to Him If He Tries to Land Many Punches During The Fight.
What we are going to see this fight is shakur running surround, landing here and then, but staying on the move While the fans Boo Him out of the Loius Armstrong Stadium. The l’ll be here to say, ‘I told you so.’ It’s too Late for Him to Change His Fighting Style.
If Stevenson Were Going to Change His Approach to Fighting by By Becoming A Pocket Fighter, He’d have done it by now, when he was booed out of the t-moobile arena in his fight against de los santos. He had the perfect opponents to experience with a new style in his last two bouts against the light hitters padley and harutyunyan. Those Guys Had no Pop in their punches, and we were Well-Vendreed Before Being Selected As Stevenson’s Opponents.
Alashikh’s Directive: No “Tom and Jerry”
Shakur has been a runner since his amateur days, and he can change his basic nature to become to pocket fighter. I predict he’s going to ignore Turki Alashikh’s Directive of No “Tom and Jerry” Fights, Show Defiance to That Rule by Moving Nonstop, Making Zepeda Chase Him Like A Cat Chasing A Mouse, and Try to Win A Decision in an Amateur-Like Fight.
“Sure His Handes Will Be Knocked Up [injured] In this fight. The One Thing You Can’t Do is Show Any Signs. You’ve just GOT TO FIND A WAY THROUGH. We do see it as a problem. In Shakur’s Mind, It’s by Any Means necessary, Whatever It Takes. He’s Going to Land A Lot of Leather on Zepeda. He can force that stopping Against a Fantastic Fighter, ”Said Hearn.
Stevenson vs. Zepeda: Low Punch Output?
We go to see a low punch output in the 100s for Shakur Against Zepeda. What we saw from William Scull Against Canelo Alvarez Last May will be similar to How Stevenson will perform Against Zepeda.
It was a Mistake for Turki to put Stevenson-Zepeda in the co-feature slot. A Better Fight is the match Between Light Heavyweight Knockout Artists, David Morrell and Imam Khataev. That by far is the best fight on the entitre card, included the main event.
