Stevenson vs Zepeda: Weight results

William Zepeda: 134.6 vs. Shakur Stevenson: 135

We did not get the clashes and theaters because this was the ceremonial weight where the weights are determined before it is made for the media and the fans later. It is then that we will see Shakur doing his old ones, trying to intimidate Zepeda, create a drum and show fans that he is not afraid of the Mexican artist.

Stevenson, 28, must be worried that Zepeda has power, an aggressive and large offense, unlike what he has seen in the professional and amateur ranks. Zepeda has fought against tougher runners with better physical attributes than Shakur and has taken them away.

Stevenson’s struggle strategy: Movement and Holding

1. Movement (Run): This is Stevenson’s main defense line. Does not block the punches in your pocket in the way you made Mayweather. He retires from three to five fights to avoid attacks. We will see a lot of Shakur on Saturday night because he is not physically equipped to place himself on a ground against a large fighting fighter like Zepeda.
2. Keep frequently: This is a tactic that Tevin Farmer successfully used to survive his two fights with Zepeda. It worked to some extent, as it kept so strongly that it made it difficult for Zepeda to fight free. With an indulgent referee that allows Shakur to keep all night without penalizing him, he will use this tactic to stop it.

What makes Zepeda even more dangerous is that it is brave and relentless. He will not hesitate to eat some of Shakur’s features to reach him, as Edwin de los Santos did in his loss. Zepeda will take these punches just to reach the Jerry-Esque Stevenson to land his combinations with his body and head.

Turki Alshikh will not be happy seeing Shakur turning his fight with Zepeda into a struggle of Tom and Jerry Bored, but Newark, New Jersey, will not mind. The alternative for Stevenson would be put in his pocket and annihilated by Zepeda.

Shakur’s search for Gervonta Davis’s struggle

This loss would destroy Shakur’s dreams of landing the money struggle pursuing against Gervonta Davis for the last two years since he moved to the light division in 2023. It is a great traffic On the part of Shakur with the type of opposition he has struggled and his style of struggle and maintenance.
