Edgar Berlanga blew Shakur Stevenson, responding to the fact that he complained that he was the most important support on his undercap on July 12’s mega meeting at NYC’s Central Park. Berlanga informed Shakur that he would be the one who awakens the crowd in the main event after falling asleep with his boring action on his bottom map. Edgar added that he was “the king of New York”, and said he didn’t want Shakur to shake his hand when he saw him.
The native of Brooklyn, New York, Berlanga (23-1, 18 COs), is in a super-middleweight fight against Hamzah Sheeraz. WBC lightweight champion Stevenson (23-0, 11 COs) is upset that his big fight against William Zepeda (33-0, 27 COs) does not get the best invoice by Turki Alalshikh.
Nyc don’t buy it
Shakur believes his fight should be the lead if he is a world champion. However, he does not keep in touch with modern box fans. Holding a belt now means nothing. Fans want to be entertainedAnd Berlanga-Sheraz has more chance to provide it than Stevenson’s struggle with Zepeda. If the indigenous Shakur, New Jersey, had a reputation to be a Brawler, he would probably be placed in the choice position.
Berlanga is nice to look at, and his personality is ideal for creating interest in the 12th card. He doesn’t even try to be a villain. It’s just him. Berlanga Fit into the villain character roll without falsifying it. As far as Shakur is concerned, he does not belong in this era. He must be back in the Mayweather -era when fans were more tolerant of boring battles. You can’t fight like that right now. Shakur should be grateful that Turki even puts him on his card, because he really has to wash his hands of him and say, “Be away.”
We already know that Shakur is a pure runner -upAnd he’s going to move uninterrupted against the volume Puncher Zepeda for 12 rounds. If he did stand and snail with the Mexican puncher, he probably wouldn’t last more than six rounds. Zepeda was thrown on average up to 100 strokes per round, and Shakur is on average a quarter of it, even at its best days.
“They got me the co-head event under Edgar. I am the biggest star on the map. I’m the man who wants to see people, ‘Shakur Stevenson says to the Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FMAnd complain about his fight against William Zepeda, which was placed on the bottom map of Edgar Berlanga against Hamzah Sheeraz on July 12. “I got the best resume.”
Stevenson doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The fighters who want to see fans on the 12th map of July 12 are Berlanga and Zepeda. The two hold the most interest in fans in the American Shakur, is basically just the opponent facing the entertaining volume Puncher Zepeda. As far as fans are concerned, Mexican star Zepeda is the true champion in that battle, not Shakur.
“I’m also the most competent. Just to put me on his (Berlanga) bottom map. It doesn’t make sense, ‘says Stevenson. ‘Take me out of the map (July 12), what do you think the card is doing? No one is going to pay attention to. They pay attention to it because of me. ‘
It makes all the sense that Turki put Stevenson on the bottom map on July 12. You must believe that Turki and his team were carefully thinking about weighing the fight that would attract the most interest of fans in New York and Nationwide. Berlanga against Sheeraz will attract more interest in New Yorkers, the US and the UK than Shakur-Zepeda.
“He (Turki Alalshikh) is trying to fight the best, but I want the biggest and best fights. I want to fight against the tank,” says Shakur, keeping the drum beat for a collision against Gevonta Davis. “I think Central Park and Times Square, I think it’s cool.”
Shakur must forget a minute of Gervonta Davis and focus on the task against Zepeda. It’s not a sure thing, win. We have already seen how difficult it was for Tevin Farmer to handle Zepeda’s pressure in their two fights, and he is more robust and powerful than Shakur with a long shot.
The pariah road
If Stevenson runs off from Zepeda like against Edwin de Los Santos, he will be thrown by the New York fans from the Central Park venue. Even if he wins, his stock will drop so low that Tank Davis doesn’t want to do anything to him. Link would be a pariah.
“It’s crazy that I really told people that it was a double main event and 2 superstars on the fighting card, but now!” said Edgar Berlanga on InstagramRespond to Shakur Stevenson’s complaining that he was placed on his bottom map on July 12.
“King of New York S ***! Ya goes to sleep, then I’ll be the one you’ll wake up with fireworks! PS: Don’t shake my hand if you see me, I don’t want to break your hands before the fight. You in my city, Homie. Don’t forget! @Shakurstevenson
