Shakur Stevenson: Still unbeaten, and still avoid the most difficult four of Lightweight

Promoter Bob Arum claims that his former fighter, Shakur Stevenson, ‘the lightweight division will dominate years’ after his victory over William Zepeda on July 12.

Shakur’s lightweight peak avoidance

Stevenson has avoided the lightweight pinnacle since he first ended up on the ground of the 135 pound division. He doesn’t want anything to do with these predators:

• Andy cruz
• Floyd Schofield
• Abdullah Mason
• Herrera Cores

Arum says that as long as Shakur (24-0, 11 COs) can continue to weight for the 135 pound division, he believes he will stay on top for a long time. He still has to beat anyone well, and those who do have talent, he will not fight.

“Shakur is one of the best fighters. People say he’s a technician. He’s more than just a technician. He’s a big fighter,” Bob Arum said Fight Hub TVShakur Stevenson, praise of his former top fighter Shakur Stevenson. “He is a fighter as the years are going on and the fighting stacks, people will realize that he is extremely difficult to beat.”

“Best fighters” compared to whom, Bob? You cannot compare Stevenson with the A-level fighters like not Andy cruzBecause he is fighting against the opposition that has been ordered to him since he moved to the lightweight division in 2023.

Analyze Stevenson’s 135 -pound opponents

– William Zepeda
– Josh Padley
– Artem Harutyunyan
– Edwin de Los Santos
– Shuichiro Yoshino

When Shakur runs around the ring, he was difficult for the limited opposition he faced. As we saw in his fight against William Zepeda, he was beaten a lot when he stands still against good opposition.

Stevenson was walked around by his clever promoters by the killers in the 135 pound division, who kept him far from the top guys. Just look at the opposition he faces. They are light years away from the best fighters in the lightweight section.

Arum’s praise: Empty words?

“I wasn’t surprised by the battle (William Zepeda) and how it went, because I’ve always been very high on Shakur and his ability. I think, as long as there is no problem making weight, He will dominate the lightweight division For the coming years, ”says Arum.

I disagree. Stevenson will lose as soon as he faces the lightweight pinnacle (Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason, Floyd Schofield and Jadier Herrera), and the fans who bought him best will feel that they have been fooled by the promoters they have deceived.

If fans just open their eyes and look at the opposition Shakur faces at 135, they would have trapped the wizard. They would see that it was all smoking and mirrors.
