Tim Bradley wants Shakur Stevenson to stand on his land on Saturday, July 12 and fight William Zepeda in the bag to show that he has the courage to beat him on his own game at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.
Tim wants Stevenson to show his bravery by dealing with Zepeda (33-0, 27 COs). However, if he does, he will endanger his fragile hands for another injury. He’s not going to beat a punching machine like Zepeda with just one hand, and he can’t run to a controversial victory like against Edwin de Los Santos. The judges will not sponsor him a second time.
Bradley’s Zepeda “Massacre” forecast
Tim Bradley believes that WBC lightweight champion Shakur (23-0, 11 COs) is going ‘Slei’ and could possibly achieve a ‘downtime’ of Zepeda.
Tim predicts that Stevenson Zepeda (33-0, 27 COs) will beat just as badly as he did the former WBO Super Featherweight Champion Jamel Herring in 2021. He sees that Shakur can do the same to Zepeda as against the 35-year-old herring. I don’t see it happening, but I saw the fight. Harring is nothing like Zepeda.
“Shakur is going to fight his way (from the corner). He’s going to show us something we’ve been waiting for since the (Jamel) herring fight (in 2021),” Tim Bradley said on his channelTalk about Shakur Stevenson against William Zepeda fight on Saturday. “He hit the brakes on Herron. It was one of his best performances. ‘
Why zepeda shakur beat
- Uninterrupted pressure
- High volume output
- Superior power
- Shakur’s glass hands
- To force a war
Jamel Herring was an old fossil, slender and weak by the time Shakur fought him. In contrast, Zepeda is younger, bigger, stronger and throwing uninterrupted bumps. He is a very different fighter. What 24-year-old Shakur Stevenson did to Herring in 2021, he couldn’t do it against Zepeda because the shots were thrown back to him.
Stevenson is now 28, less muscular than he was at 24, and fights in the lightweight section, where his power was not assigned from Super Featherweight.
“I think we can see something like this for Shakur in this battle. I tell you that if his hands are healthy, This is going to be a slaughtera victory in the landslide. It can be a downtime. Zepeda fights in one way. He comes forward, that’s it. I’ll tell you what I love him. He will attack that body. “
Shakur should fight in the bag
It is virtually impossible for Stevenson to achieve a stop of Zepeda, because to sit on his shots to get a hard enough push; He will stand still. He can’t do it against a body spun like Zepeda. It is in Shakur’s best interests to stand in the bag and go to war with Zepeda, because that’s what Turki Alalshikh wants.
If Stevenson wants delay himself with Turki To get to his good side so that he will succeed with the Gevonta Davis struggle for which he left, he must fight Zepeda in the bag and swing if necessary. Even if Stevenson is blown in ruins, he will look heroic, and Turki can pity him for being a brave soldier.
“There will be moments where Shakur will have to enter, suffocate and work, as Farmer did. Farmer had success when he pushed Zepeda back. Shakur must stay close and push this man back. He needs the courage to say, ‘I’m standing, backwards, and I’m going to be skilled in front of you.
Turki Alalshikh’s battle demands
The reality is that Shakur cannot stand and be avoided before Zepeda. He is a body sponsor, and Shakur’s head movement does not work to avoid the shots. If he is going to withdraw and retreat all night, it will lead to a Tom and Jerry situation.
That’s what Turki Alalshikh doesn’t want. We have all seen Shakur fight before, and he always pulls back when he is attacked when he fights someone with power. He stands in the bag against Jamel Herring, Josh Padley and Artem Harutyunyan because they had no punching force. Zepeda does it.
