Will fans Boo Stevenson again from the stadium from the stadium?

Coach Greg Hackett says William Zepeda will take out ‘the best’ in WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson on July 12 when they meet in the co-function in Queens, New York.

Zepeda (33-0, 27) is the man who wanted Stevenson (23-0, 11 COs) for a while, and he finally has his wish. It is believed that he thinks that Zepeda is someone he can easily choose, school and win impressive to get the Gervonta Davis fight.

This battle can be a pure nightmare for Stevenson, where he was beaten by Zepeda, forced to run and hit the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens.

Stevenson’s vulnerable body target

“Shakur said that because Zepeda has nothing but pressure. Compared to Shakur Steveson, Zepeda said nothing but pressure, and he would have to bring a lot of it,” said coach Greg Hackett said IceM Sports Media When Shakur Stevenson said that William Zepeda will see the best version of himself in Queens on July 12.

It is clear that Zepeda will bring more pressure than he has shown in his last two fights against Tevin Farmer, because it is for the WBC lightweight title, and he knows that Shakur has Bros hands. He also has power. There is no amount of movement that Shakur can do that will prevent Zepeda from coming to him and pull him off with body shots. Movers do not like to hit the body because it takes their legs away, makes them rubbery, and they are forced to stand.

“Shakur knows he has to be sharp all night, and Zepeda knows he has to be aggressive all night. That’s why Shakur says you are going to see the best Shakur Stevenson, and he will have to bring the best. This is another night of box for Shakur. All you have to do is do more. This is that. ‘

It will be interesting to see what “The Best Shakur” is on July 12, because he has not looked in any of his fights since he came up after the lightweight section in 2023. The only two fights in which he looked slightly impressive were against Josh Padley and Shuichiro Yoshino. It was two sluggish, weak guys.

“You don’t have to go there and strike out. You don’t have to go out all night. All you have to do is get busy. To feel the need to host a show because people criticize you? No, you don’t have to feel that way, ‘Hackett said about Shakur. “But to feel the need to be wonderful, because you fight against another fighter who will come in and give everything he has. Yes, it’s fair. ‘

Stevenson could not knock out Zepeda because it would mean he had to stand and be willing to get involved. He’s not going to do it. Zepeda will overwhelm Shakur with volume and turn him to the body as he tries to get a knockout. Stevenson can only hit, run and hold all night as he always does. He has his Three-step retraction that he has been using amateur days since. That’s why he lost in the 2016 Olympics. He was too busy to pull back against Robeisy Ramirez, and did not throw push as you are supposed to be in the Olympic final.

Shakur’s A-Game: Running

“I believe we’re going to see the best zepeda too. It’s going to force Shakur to be through the whole way, because you’ll have to do it, ‘says Hackett. “His focus level is already high. Tonight we see elite-like. He is one of the most focused fighters in the ring today. Smooth decision 8-4, 7-5, Shakur. ‘

Hackett’s mention of Shakur has its ‘focus level’, it’s a code for ‘He’s ready to get off like a rocket’ to avoid the pressure of Zepeda. We have seen Shakur reacting against Punchers in his fighting against Edwin de Los Santos and Jeremiah Nakathilia. He will not get involved and stay on the flight and avoid contact, and he tries with a small handful of shots to Nick rounds.

What is Shakur’s A-Game? Even in his last fight against the electrician, Josh Padley, he looked poor. In his collision before that against Artem Harutyunyan, his hometown fans in Newark, New Jersey, were on his way to the exits against the eighth round because he ran off the light hitter.

“Between five and eight,” Hackett said when asked where there were places that Shakur could be in trouble. This is the turning point where you had to pick it up. Zepeda may be pretty good around those rounds, but the last four, 9, 10, 11, 12, Shakur. This is how you have completed a fight. Your last impression is that you are always the best impression, ”says Hackett.

Stevenson may look worse in the 9-12 championships against Zepeda, as he will be by residential fire and uninterrupted pressure. Shakur’s defensive game is centered to miss his opponents. He is vulnerable to the body and always has it. This is how Cuba’s Robeisy Ramirez became the best of him in the 2016 Olympics. He targeted Shakur’s body and utilized his reluctance to get involved.

Honest opinion: I think Shakur Stevenson stops William Zepeda in the 9th or 10th round. #GHB

“No, different styles,” Hackett said when asked if Zepeda’s two fights with Tevin Farmer helped him prepare for Shakur. “He could sometimes get to Tevin, not all the times, a little easier than he could get to Shakur. That’s why I say no. These are different body frames and everything. It’s going to be very different. ‘

Zepeda got a lot more preparation for Shakur’s style in his two fights with farmer than Stevenson received in his last two clashes against Josh Padley and Artem Harutyunyan. The two lights meters were the complete opposites of how Zepeda was fighting. They were useless as preparation for Stevenson to be ready for the Mexican Brawler’s style.

Fighting can be uninhabitable

Shakur runs more than farmers, does not have power and does everything he can to avoid. In other words, he will keep going to avoid the heat of Zepeda. Like Farmer, Shakur will move, but much more to the point where he will make the fight uninhabitable. He can’t help it. The chin is weak, and he is not built for war.

“Tevin is smart, but not as smart as he used to be. I’m talking about being smooth. It’s still there, and the Southpaw look may have helped a little to the Southpaw. But the way they are built and the way they move is completely different. ‘

Farmer used as many movements and blows as possible to prevent Zepeda from being stopped in both battles. If he had moved more, the crowd would have struggled. He was the best boundary of how much capture he could do against Zepeda without receiving the Shakur treatment of the fans on the side.

Stevenson is not brave, robust, big or powerful enough to fight as Farmer did because he is too fragile. Zepeda would destroy him because he did not have the power or resistance to the Mexican Slugger than Tevin did.
