William Zepeda looked at the Grand Arrivals in New York today and sounded for his title challenge of WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson on Saturday, July 12 in Queens.
Zepeda (33-0, 27 CO’s) says he acknowledges the skill that Shakur (23-0, 11 COs) will fight, but he will take the opportunity to win the victory and “Write my name in golden letters” In the history books.
Will Zepeda Stevenson shock?
Mexican Brawler, Zepeda, says he has already found his plans for the next day after defeating Stevenson. He wants to walk with his WBC title at Central Park in New York.
“I visualized myself with a win and the next day with my title and my belt in Central Park,” William Zepeda said during today’s Great arrivals In New York. “I understand that he has skills, but I’m going to take this opportunity and with golden letters, my new victory in the history books of boxing.”
It would be a great dismay if Zepeda was to win, as the supporters and odds considered the fight as a clear victory for Shakur. Few people give Zepeda a lot of chance in this battle. It wasn’t that before Zepeda’s two fights against Tevin Farmer. The problems he beat the 35-year-old farmer have fans doubt his chances of defeating Stevenson.
What people forget is the criminal farmer who had to take the battles. Despite running and holding a lot of the time, Farmer still had a terrible beat in both competitions. We saw the disadvantages of what it did to Tevin when he was knocked out in the first round in his next fight.
It is doubtful whether Shakur can take half as many shots of Zepeda without succumbing to Saturday. Running, holding and using his tight arm may not be enough for Shakur to keep Zepeda off. He will have to fight against him.
“It’s my place. This is my opportunity, and I can’t wait to show the fans what I really are,” Shakur Stevenson said. “There are many doubters, there are many haters, and many people who think I am not who I say I am. So, Saturday night, we will see if they are right or wrong. I promise you that they are wrong. ‘
The doubters are there because they saw Shakur’s fight against Edwin de Los Santos, and noticed that he ran all 12 rounds. He had no offense other than Peck and run.
The judges gave Stevenson a big break by giving him credit because he fought like that. Hardcore fans have seen that the low-level opposition hakur has been combined since De Los Santos had an electrician, Josh Padley, and the light, inactive Artem Harutyunyan.
Stevenson’s “Jerry” strategy: Why?
“If you call me ‘Jerry’, then I’m a **. That’s what I’m coming here for. Tom-Jerry, Jerry is a ** which is a **. Belt for Mother F **** A **, ‘Stevenson said when asked what his theme was for his fight against Zepeda.
Shakur’s remark about Tom and Jerry was in response that he was asked about Turki Alalshikh’s remarks about not wanting to see fights where fighters who are not involved, and just run around the ring.
Many people believed that comments were made to Stevenson, whose fights looked like a mouse chased by a cat at the rare opportunities he fought at a good opposition. If he matches poorly, as in his last two fights against Padley and Harutyunyan, Stevenson may stand in the bag to mix it. He doesn’t do it if he fights guys with power.
“He’s going to keep to his mo by keeping him on reach and using the left hand,” said commentator Sergio Mora. “His accuracy is what makes Shakur Stevenson so difficult to beat. That is not the power. ‘
Stevenson: Old school or outdated?
Stevenson is a potshot fighter from the nineties in the old, outdated form of Mayweather. He is a setback of fighters from a bygone generation before the arrival of the Internet, cable television and other forms of combat sports.
People were willing to watch runners in the past because there were fewer options for entertainment, but that is no longer the case. You cannot do this without harming the events and injuring the promoters who are raising the money because fans do not want to see the style of fighting.
