Stevenson vs. Zepeda: Shakur’s Chance to Stardom

Promoter Eddie Hearn was back in his soap, saying in the media the big one who is Shakur Stevenson and surprised that he is no longer a “American Superstar“Before his fight against William Zepeda on July 12. The Matchs Room promoter does not succeed. He thought he had found pure gold when he signed Shakur, and has tormented himself that he is not being out.

Hearn tries to create an interest in the light champion of WBC Shakur (23-0, 11 kos) for his fight against Zepeda (33-0, 27 kos) to make a case for him fighting Gervonta Davis at the end of this year. It is very dependent on how Stevenson works on July 12, whether he wins, and if he can do it without running.

It will also be if Turki Alralhikh wants to participate in helping to fight the Davis vs Shakur tank. Without his involvement, it is questionable if Gervonta will want to bother in the fight against Stevenson. You will not want to pursue it all over the ring if it does not get involved. You will have to look gold against Zepeda. This is where it begins.

“I have been saying that he is one of the best promoters of sport and I think it has been shown well,” said Shakur Stevenson to Ysm Sports Media About Eddie Hearn.

Why is Shakur not a superstar

“We just started working together. So give -me a chance,” Hearn said about Shakur. “I said it about Shakur before we were represented. These boys, Terence, should be North -Americans for their ability. The good news is that it is (Shakur) 27.”

Boxing style was Mayweather

Shakur and Terence Crawford are not superstar because they have a style of boring and obsolete struggle of the old Floyd’s “Money” Mayweather’s boxing age. If you find a working time machine, paste -Shakur and Crawford and sent them in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, they would adapt well. But in this modern age of sport, they are strange. If you are boring, you are invisible at this time. You need to entertain. If you have a boring style, it is poison for fans.

If Hearn wants to turn Shakur into a superstar, he can move it to England, take it a false British accent and combine it against fighters. Maybe it can be adopted by the British as one of them. I doubt it, but this is your best opportunity.

Sooner or later, Hearn will have to admit that he has chosen an albotross to try to transform into a superstar. Cannot force the North -Americans to want to see Shakur. And no amount of Shakur glass will do the job, because U.S. fans listen to Hearn we think it’s good when he praised the praise in Shakur.

“The crazy thing is that imagine being a world champion of three division and never breaking the sweat. Look at what he did in (Oscar) Valdez (2022),” said Hearn. “I was seeing as a fan. I didn’t know that one day we would work together, but I see it in motion:” I can’t believe how good this young man is. “

Shakur did not fight with enough opposition to 126 and 130 in his title he wins because he had to work hard. His fight against Joet Gonzalez for the WBO title of 126-LB in 2019 resembled a Sparring session. It seemed that Joet was not trying to win. They seemed more friends than enemies.

Shakur’s of the Holy Stuggy

In Stevenson’s struggle against Edwin de los Santos, he definitely broke a sweat because he was running around the ring, looking at stressed after great shots throughout the contest. Shakur approached to lose.

Fans caused Stevenson’s performance

The judges gave him a decision of 12 rounds, but he was not impressive. T-Mobile fans turned Shakur from the fourth round and continued to take a hand when he was interviewed inside the ring. Even when Stevenson went to his locker room, fans continued to burst. I had never seen anything similar. Hearn should not have seen this struggle because Shakur seemed apoplectic inside the ring, being persecuted by the Santos all night.

“It’s what should be run over, not me. I’m a promoter of Essex fats. This is the superstar. This is something that all fighters dream of having talent like this. You are looking for great greatness with this young man,” said Hearn.

Shakur has not done enough to be a superstar in the United States capturing titles at 126 and 130 did not impress the boxing public because the opposition fought and the divisions were not particularly popular with the North -Americans. He captured his Light WBC title in an ugly manner, moving in a close decision on Edwin de los Santos.
