Shakur Stevenson responds to Ryan Garcia’s discomfort, quoting Garcia’s “shameful” loss in Rolando “Rolly” Romero

Shakur Stevenson responded to Ryan Garcia on social media, minimizing the importance of his victory over William Zepeda, diverting criticisms referring to his loss in Rolando “Rolly” Romero.

Without power, without danger

In an interview on Friday, Garcia (24-2, 20 kos) said: “Shakur is not that good.” He then devalued his 12-round unanimous victory over the volume Puncher Zepeda (33-1, 27 kos) on July 12, 2025, at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, New York, noting that he had no power. He said that Stevenson does not do well against the “Power Punchers”, and that is why he fought against Edwin de los Santos.

Ryan argued that people were “increasing” Stevenson for being in their pocket against Zepeda last July in Queens, New York. But they did not understand that Zepeda cannot punch and launched many shots. So it’s just a matter of catching it with a punch. This is what Shakur won a decision.

I’m not angry at no ryan, how can I be? I embarrass you from your last fight against Rollies. I went against a real Mexican fighter with a real Mexican style of struggle and beat him in his own game !! Levels affected me when you win your first world title 🦾 https://t.co/rmvfisw2ii

The man just admitted to be afraid of Rolly’s power, my evil to think he was not the best version of him … That’s why he sucks because the power is not all @RyGarcia https://t.co/bpaypodx4h

Ryan raised a good point during his interview with Cigar Talk, with his comment on Shakur doing well against the volume punctures, but not the slugs. In the two fights Stevenson has had against punchers during his career, against Edwin de los Santos and Jeremia Nakathilia, he was on his bike.

The crowd caused the two performances. In the fights where Shakur fought the punchs against Zepeda, Josh Padley and Artem Harutyunyan, he stayed in his pocket.

Why is Shakur “not so good”

“Speaking of Shakur. The power punches do not highlight their skills, but the boys who throw the volume stand out. This type is not so good. They did, as” Oh, yes, it can now be in the pocket. ” Cigar talkMinimizing Shakur Stevenson’s recent victory over William Zepeda on July 12, 2025.
