Shakur Stevenson vs. Zepeda: challenging Turki’s “No Tom & Jerry” demand

Shakur Stevenson stays in stubbornly that he will stay on Saturday in his defensive style against William Zepeda, despite the comments of Turki Alshikh on not wanting to see more “Tom and Jerry” struggles at his Riyadh season events. WBC light champion, Shakur (23-0, 11 kos) said he won’t go “Fight against someone’s struggle” standing and quarreling.

Stevenson rejects Brawling Zepeda

Shakur’s challenging momentum against Turki can be seen as a classic case of bite the hand that feeds, as he chose it for this event. Alralhikh could have chosen a slight and talented and talented to face Zepeda, like Andy Cruz or Abdullah Mason. He selected it, and this is the thank you.

“They are not important. They are not the ones who do not put themselves in this ring. I do not have to put -and fight against the struggle of someone. I fight against my own struggle. And if I want to put myself there and fight this struggle, I do it because I know that I can win this struggle. So it only matters that it comes out victorious,” said Shakur Stevenson in Brian Campbell. canalreacting to Turki Alralikh’s comments on not wanting a struggle for Tom and Jerry at his Events of the Riyadh season.

Notice the attitude With Shakur? Instead with Turki that he must keep and fight to entertain fans, he basically says that nothing will change. If you want to run, you will run. Turki is what will be affected if Shakur runs for 12 rounds because fans will be reluctant to buy tickets or struggles on PPV if they are angry at Saturday’s card entertainment.

Shakur: “wake up a monster”

“There are many doubts and people who go against me. When this happens, they wake up a monster,” Stevenson said.

What expects Shakur of the fans? Fans are not blind. They saw their fight against Edwin de los Santos, pointed out their reluctance to participate and saw the fight ended with a controversial decision. Why would they not hesitate for Shakur after this performance?

In addition, look at the low -level opposition that Stevenson’s promoters have coincided with the struggle: “The electrician” Josh Padley and Artem Harutyunyan. Do you think it was an accident that Shakur’s promoters put him with these boys after he acted against Los Santos? You should be naive for not connecting the points.

Gazillions is paid for the Zepeda struggle (33-0, 27 kos) and has failed to bring the fans. The Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens has a large number of unable tickets for the Saturday event, which indicates that Stevenson cannot sell.

You can only imagine the low number of purchases Dazn PPV For the event, and Shakur deserves part of the guilt. Not someone is the General Fanbase of the United States who wants to see.

Why Shakur lost the main event

“I have nothing to do. It has something to do with Hamzah Sheeraz Kid that Turki likes,” Stevenson said when he asked about his thoughts about his fight against Zepeda, which was not the main event of the Saturday at Queens event.

Turki obviously was not about to put Stevenson-Zepeda’s struggle on the headline and see the event bomb after the poor performances of Shakur in his last three fights against Josh Padley, Artem Harutyunyan and Edwin de los Santos. Shakur was rolled up in two of these fights, and even his own hometown fans left the tickets through his defense against Harutyunyan in Newark, New Jersey, last year.
