Shakur Stevenson does not promise any retirement against William Zepeda: Can the Braggard finally silence critics and offer a struggle full of action?

Shakur Stevenson says Will not run In his fight against William Zepeda on July 12 in New York City. The light champion of WBC, Stevenson (23-0, 11 kos), responded to the criticism this week that he will not win the fight if he runs from Zepeda (33-0, 27 kos). He seems to believe that Zepeda is made to order him, which is why he is so eager to fight the Mexican artist. Shakur has not shown the same will to fight his number 1 contestant, Andy Cruzor his “brother” Keyshawn Davis.

Fans want Shakur to fight against Zepeda instead of running to all the creation as he did against the last decent rival he faced two years ago, against Edwin de los Santos in 2023. Because Shakur did not leave the Zepeda large puncher, he will be removed without four or five rounds. There is no way that can match the Mexican punch.

Stevenson was abandoned from the T-Mobile Arena to run all night. Its promoters have been careful to combine it against a low-level opposition since then to prevent this from happening again; So we’ve seen Shakur fight a Electrician, Josh PadleyAnd an Artem Harutyunyan that struck a loss and a dismissal.

What about Shakur?

• Boring Fights: People do not like to see Shakur’s amateur style, which he still uses. It focuses on scoring points when hitting and then going up 3 to 5 feet to avoid exchanges. It is always a punch at the same time, followed by the move. Fans see this as boring.
• Smooth registration: There are no significant victories. Stevenson selects opponents who are not a threat to fight it and can overcome them with their boring style of fighting a blow. The best name of his record is Edwin de los Santos, and possibly lost with him. Although Stevenson defeated Oscar Valdez, he was 100% washed when the struggle passed.
• Braggard: Ax, Shakur presumed the great thing he is and how he is the best fighter in boxing. He did everything that was taken without ever fighting with anyone. The fans are annoying to him, seeing it as a fake. He wants to worship -but he does not have to win -fighting and beat the best.
• Pushing too strong to make a cash: Stevenson has been in Gervonta Davis to fight 24 hours a day since his arrival at Lightweight in 2023. He just wants this payment day without winning him by assuming his “brother”, Keyshawn Davis, Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason and Raymond Matalla.

Will not work on July 12, you don’t know the boxing if you think I’m a hehejeje runner https://t.co/qlgar2fvxr
