Shakur Stevenson destroyed the last press conference of today by talking about his opponent, William Zepeda, and not talking him. He repeated the same things he said during the build-up of their lightweight title fight this Saturday, July 12. A Good muzzle Would have come in handy today to pip Shakur.
Zepeda silenced: Shakur’s Antics
Shakur (23-0, 11 COs) sounded like a parrot and slapped the same ‘belt to a **’ line he said in every interview.
The moderator, Wade Pemons, lost full control of the press conference, which allowed Shakur and Edgar Berlanga to talk about their opponents when it was their time to talk. You could see the appearance of Hamzah Sheeraz’s face that he wasn’t happy not to talk if it was his time to discuss Saturday’s fight with Edgar.
Microphone cut -off necessary
Turki Alalshikh needs to set up future press conferences better and find a better moderator while he is with it. Wade is useless to control the fighters and has no charisma.
Ideally, there should have been a cut-off switch in microphone that Wade could have pressed to prevent the two from being able to prevent their opponents from talking. In future press conferences, one must be added because it is unfair if fighters are not allowed to speak. It is usually the B-side that gets this treatment.
Oscar de la hoya, “He stands in front of William Zepeda, who is a machine. He wanted this fight for a long time. This fight was supposed to take place a few years ago. Zepeda is probably one of the most active fighters and throws over 100 strokes,” said the promoter Oscar de la Hoya.
“It’s not going to be an easy battle. Shakur Stevenson has wonderful skills like Floyd Mayweather, but when Mayweather fights against Jose Luis Castillo, I think we’re going to see something similar. Turki wants to shrink the ring. I look forward to it a lot. I won my husband, William Zepeda. ‘
Shakur Dures de la hoya
Immediately after De la Hoya stopped talking, Shakur dared him to bet on the outcome. It was a real movement with a low life, which was regularly done by fighters who have nothing of interest to have a fight. So they try to act bravely by risking their opponents to bet. It has been done too many times to be compelling.
Stevenson needs PR -Help
If Shakur can’t think of anything to prepare him with talk points for press conferences and interviews, he must hire a good PR -Man who can help him. It is so boring to listen to him and come up with interesting things. He is just as boring outside the ring as he is in it.
Shakur Stevenson: “I’ve been calling this guy for three years. Come on Saturday night, I’m coming to hit his A **. I stand by it. I’m on the point. They act as if he is a big threat. He is #1 with all the sanctions. ‘
