Shakur Stevenson spoke boldly and fired at William Zepeda for questioning his courage to stand and fight against him as Tevin Farmer did. Zepeda (33-0, 27 food) feels that WBC lightweight champion Shakur (23-0, 11 COs) will crumble under his volume punch. He will then do what he always does and run around the ring.
Stevenson-Zepeda will meet next month on July 12 at the co-function at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. The event will be pointed out Dazn ppv. The pressure is being placed on Shakur by Turki Alalshikh, who said this week that it does not want to reduce the ring size to 12 x 12 to exchange fighters.
Zepeda’s relentless pressure
- Reduced Ring: 18 x 18
- Turki Alalshikh’s Richtlijn of “No Tom and Jerry” fights
- Zepeda’s pressure
- Brittle hands
The ring has already been reduced to 18 feet. Many fans believe it was done to ensure that Stevenson does not move all night, which he would have a better chance of doing in a standard 20 x 20 ring. Shakur will be more difficult to move in an 18-foot foot, with Zepeda descending on him, and looking for 100+ strokes per round.
Stevenson promises zepeda beatdown
“Zepeda, I remember everything you just said.” Oh, Shakur won’t exchange with me. Shakur does not have the balls like Tevin Farmer. “Remember these things, Bro. Youtube channel.
Stevenson has a lot to prove in this fight after his actions against Josh Padley, Artem Harutyunyan and Edwin de Los Santos. It was Stevenson’s last three fights on lightweight, and what fans saw was that he was not physically robust enough to compete at a high level in the 135 pound division. He has no power, and his glass hands make him vulnerable. It forces him to run.
