Hand problems persist for Shakur Stevenson after Padley’s victory

Shakur Stevenson says he injured both hands during his fight against Josh Padley last Saturday night in Riyadh. Shakur (23-0, 11 kos) still stopped Padley (15-1, 4 kos) in the ninth round in a successful defense of the title of his light belt of the WBC in the enclosure, but the injuries of both hands are important.

Problem in hand

He has it hands of glassAnd it has not been cut to fight unless it is against a weak opposition. The 2016 Shakur Olympic Silver Medal has fought only a talented fighting throughout his career, Edwin de los Santos. Due to his hand problems, he was forced to move constantly. Since then, his direction has put him with two weak opponents, Padley and Artem Harutyunyan.

If you get your desire for the fight against Gervonta Davis who has been obsessing, his hands will probably melt and end most of the battle while the fans were received. The fans who ordered the fight against PPV, thinking that it would be competitive, will feel stupid.

It is essential that Shakur show first that he can overcome a true light with talent before he is equal against Davis tank. Right now, Stevenson has been equalized with two weak punchers in fights attached since his disastrous demonstration against the Santos.

My suggestion would be to show two or three of these fighters before Turki gave him the tank’s struggle:

– Andy Cruz: needs to be first
– Raymond Muratalla
– Abdullah Mason
– William Zepeda

Stevenson, 27, did not go against a punch and did not need to sit in his shots to win against this level of opponent. Injuries create many doubts as to whether Shakur is physically built for the 135 lb division. Going back to 130 or 126 can make things easier in Shakur because they will not have to load -the dams in the way it does at 135.

“You have to ask,” How will you hit me? How did you land the punches I saw him throw a million times? “Shakur Stevenson said to According toSpeaking of Gervonta Davis. “I can’t wait for it to happen. Turki is the boy. He says he wants to make the struggle pass.

“If I head and say he wants to fight, I am ready to negotiate and see if we can reach an agreement and make this struggle pass. I do not need it. I make a lot of money when I fight but I would love to happen. Everything is about him, “said Shakur.
