Floyd Schofield responds with entertainment at Shakur Stevenson who reduced his first knockout of Tevin Farmer last Saturday night.
Shakur rubbed off Schofield’s knockout and said on X, “Any fighter who is dangerous in the first round, especially these lil children.” In other words, it was not skills and training by Schofield (19-0, 13 COs) who won him. It was just simple aggression of a younger fighter.
When Schofield told of the remark of WBC lightweight champion Shakur, he said he should focus on his fight against William Zepeda on July 12, because he is “coming”.
Zepeda (33-0, 27 food) is seen as a real threat against Stevenson (23-0, 11 COs), which has been carefully linked by his promoters since his poor performance against the Great Puncher Edwin de Los Santos in 2023. Shakur has been combined against the Ring Santos-Santos.
Farmer KO: irresponsible or skill?
“He might want to take some of the advice on the (William) Zepeda fight. He has something else to worry about. Zepeda is coming. So, he has to be better on his A-game, ‘Schofield told the media during last Saturday night Press conference after battleRespond to the fact that Shakur put Stevenson on X, and he reduced his victory over Tevin Farmer.
Stevenson further devalued Schofield’s victory by adding, “Don’t get too hip is irresponsible.”
What Shakur says here is that Schofield’s knockout was the result that the farmer was “irresponsible” rather than being a product of Floyd’s talent and skills. He says it was a mistake of the farmer, rather than the training and strategy Schofield used. He is not a big enough person to give him credit for his victory. Shakur should frame it as an error of the Boers.
“Of course I will love the winner of the fight. But as I said, they both have a difficult night against each other, “Schofield said of the fight against the winner of the Shakur vs. Zepeda struggle. “Shakur and I have an unfinished business. It’s going to happen in the end, and I will be able to prove what I’m going to do in February. ‘
Schofield can forget to fight Shakur if he overcomes Zepeda. He wants the Gervonta Davis fight to fight. Even if he doesn’t manage, he’s not going to look in Schofield’s direction. What little chance he had to fight Stevenson after his actions against Farmer. The last thing Stevenson wants is to face a contender with one -time force.
