The smell of desperation
It can be a waste of time for Stevenson to keep calling Gervonta because it makes him sound desperate as he is begging for table pieces, And he had nothing going on for him. Tank’s constant pressure makes Shakur look like his focus is getting a big payday in a fight he knows he can’t win. It is as abusive if someone is needy as Shakur is.
Stevenson has beaten no one since he moved up to 135 two years ago, and it seems clear that he does not have the talent to defeat the best guys in the division; Therefore, he presses uninterrupted for the tank Davis Mega Pay Day before being beaten by one of the contenders. Shakur’s promoters may have told him to cry out Gervonta 24/7, knowing he was not good enough to create his way to stars.
Stevenson’s style is not suitable for becoming a star. He has no power and is not physically rough enough. His hands have been breaking since moving to the 135 pound weight class.
“He has a fight next week. He seems to be focused on me, and Lamont Roach is focused on him. I think I’m going to put my bet on Roach, ”Shakur Stevenson told the mediaTalk about Gervonta Davis instead of his very criticized performance against Josh Padley.
“Yes, these are the two best fighters in boxing,” Shakur said when asked if he would strive for a fight against Tank Davis if he won his fight against Roach. ‘Tank Davis is a hell of a fighter. I still say he has good skills, but I’m better than him. I’m better than he’s on a hit-and-not-hit hit, and he can’t hit me.
No top victories
The 135-pound WBC champion, Stevenson (23-0, 11 COs), feels he was done enough to set the table for the tank Davis (30-0, 28 food) by beating #12 Josh Padley by a ninth round knock out last Saturday night in Riyadh and defeated Artem Harutyunyan by a unanimous decision of twelve round on July 6 last year.
It is not at high -level fighters, but that is what Shakur’s promoters were willing to match him after his close call against Edwin de Los Santos. After the actions of Stevenson, his promoters went in the opposite direction and focused on fringe benefits.
“Tank’s style: He’s a power station. He is a man trying to strike you out. I’m a man trying to break you down and take you apart. When the knockout comes, it comes. These are two different styles, but I’m better than in the art of boxing, ”says Stevenson.
