Forced Commitment: Shakur Stevenson’s tactics were challenged by an 18 -foot ring. Zepeda

The change to an 18 -foot ring for the July 12 card has created doubts among the fans if Shakur Stevenson will have enough space to escape the 100 points out of more than 100 William Zepeda in round volume in his fight against his fight.

No getaway for Shakur

Shakur’s promoter Eddie Hearn cannot be happy to change the standard 20 -foot ring to a smaller one of 18 x 18. He signed it in the hope of landing the fight against money against Gervonta Davis.

Hearn coincided with Stevenson against Josh Padley in his first fight with Matchroom to ensure that he remains on the way to the tank’s struggle. In a smaller ring against a punching machine like Zepeda, Shakur is launched in the wild. It is not made for the fighting that Zepeda brings.

The light champion of WBC, Shakur (23-0, 11 kos), is at its best in a 20-foot ring where you can avoid the pressure of its opponents by means of its tactic. In a smaller ring of 18 x 18, it will force Shakur to get involved and avoid his usual struggles of Tom and Jerry type.

Zepeda is excellent when cutting the ring, but its possibilities fall against a engine like Stevenson in a 20 -foot ring. We saw how Shakur was diving to escape the pressure that Edwin de los Santos.

Turki’s entertainment target

Turki Alshikh wants fights on July 12 Dazn PPV card to be entertaining. Transfering to a smaller ring will force runners like Shakur to stand and fight Zepeda (33-0, 27 kos), which he may not be able to do without beaten. In a confined space of an 18 -foot ring, Stevenson will have no choice but to negotiate more with the Mexican artist.

It was as if it were a rocket that was thrown into space, in the way it jumped to tear off the situations when they were trapped. He was not surprised that the crowd received him all night for his boring performance.

Zepeda doubts Shakur’s “balls”

Zepeda doubts that Shakur sells with him how Tevin Farmer did in his two fights, saying he does not have the “balls” to fight aggressively. Even Farmer was very moving and holding up to prevent Zepeda from being eliminated. The second struggle was almost all moving.

A 16 -foot ring would have been even better for the July 12 event, as it will force Shakur to trade more with Zepeda to give fans a more entertaining struggle. Even with an 18-foot foot, Stevenson could have enough room to make it a dark struggle for fans.
