William Zepeda says he is not worried about the running that WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson will do on Saturday night, July 12. Zepeda (33-0, 27 COs) she says ‘Punch volume“It would be the key to bring him to the whole at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.
Shakur Stevenson’s defense style
Yet the clinic that Shakur will undoubtedly use His second line of defenseIn addition to his movement, Zepeda will require him and Punch to kill him while holding on. Otherwise, Shakur will use this tactic all night to neutralize the violation of Zepeda.
The WBC -Tussentage champion Zepeda fought many runners like Stevenson while taught the ropes in Mexico. William’s last two fights against veteran Tevin Farmer gave him a good practice to prepare for Shakur’s style.
Farmer ran, holding single pot shots all night, holding and throwing and still incorporating a terrible amount of punishment into both competitions. We saw what was left of Boer in his fight after his fighting with Zepeda, while he was destroyed by Floyd Schofield in one round.
Shakur had a challenging tone this week when he talked about the warning “Tom and Jerry” given by his paymaster, Turki Alalshik, and said, “If you call me Jerry, then I’m a **.” He seems to have acknowledged that he is “Jerry” for this battle, but he does not support his defensive fighting style.
He points out that Sugar Ray Leonard and Muhammad Ali used movement in their fights. What he does not say is that those fighters were much more involved with their opponents, and that they did not withdraw 3 to 6 feet when they were attacked. Shakur moves so far out of reach that he can’t hit himself.
Mauling Shakur: Ideal plan for Zepeda
“I think Zepeda should be Shakur Stevenson Maul. He has to be all over him and pull shots at the body,” Mike Coppinger said to the YouTube channel of Ring Magazine. “Zepeda learned a lot from the 22 rounds against Tevin Farmer.”
Zepeda did not do a good job of misleading the farmer in the clinic in one of their battles. That’s why Farmer returned repeatedly to the tactics of surviving the fighting, because he would have been knocked out if he hadn’t climbed regularly when Zepeda got close. Zepeda will have to change this part of his game because Shakur holds a lot. This is one of the reasons why he was beaten by Robeisy Ramirez in the 2016 Olympics. He tied the Cuban too often and did not fight against him.
PONSE VOLUME key for zepeda
“I have to make my combinations beautiful and long and let my opponent come in the end,” Zepeda said during the open workouts of today for his fight against Stevenson. ‘Definitely my talent can be implemented.
“Shakur is a fighter who will always move, but my volume will be the one who will put pressure on him. It will be the key to success on Saturday. ‘
