“It’s a marathon,” says Shakur Stevenson as Fans Bolt: Longevity Over Entertainment in the Boxing Rin

Shakur Stevenson published on social media today, revealing his career philosophy: “It’s a marathon; Longevity is all that matters.“He is talking about his career and why he chooses to play safely, using the style of fighting a blow and not affected. His post suggests that he focuses on having a long career without being affected, even if it means being boring and indisputable.

You don’t have to see

The style is the poison because the fans to see, and Stevenson (23-0, 11 kos) is one of the most essential fighters in the sport.

Stevenson’s comment promoted by Matchroom on “longevity” means that he is adopting the long career approach. To do it, it must limit the risks near zero to avoid giving rise that could be slowly exhausted. Use your first security style goes with this philosophy.

Turki Alralikh and his promoters are already paying millions. Therefore, it does not matter that their fights are boring, not entertaining and much less interesting to see than those of other fighters who do not pay as much as it is. He is paid despite failing to entertain.

Shakur argues that he has captured three world titles in the division, which means he is a great fighter. But, putting a point of look at the fighters that Shakur defeated to win the belts, many of the first 10 fighters in 126, 130 and 135 could have beat the fighters of those who captured their titles.

The titles of three Stevenson Divisions

– Edwin de los Santos – WBC Lightweight
– Jamel Herring – Wbo Super Feather Weight
– Oscar Valdez – WBC and Super Pessage Ring
– Joet Gonzalez – Wbo Pessage Heavy

Remove the laps?

Stevenson will defend its light WBC title against William Zepeda on July 12 in New York. Hope Shakur’s social media fans will not leave their chest. However, one of Stevenson’s coaches said last week that he would “round to protect his hands.” This is not what fans want to hear.

It means that Shakur will move a lot. Since this event, headed by Edgar Berlanga vs Hamzah Sheeraz, will be displayed on PPV, will disturb the fans Stevenson move all night.

It is a marathon, longevity is all that matters
