Will Boo Fans Stevenson get out of the stadium again?

Greg Hackett coach says William Zepeda “the best” WBC’s light champion, Shakur Stevenson, will come out on July 12, when they meet in the Co-Cinquena combat in Queens, New York.

Zepeda (33-0, 27 kos) is the type Stevenson (23-0, 11 kos) wanted for a while, and finally has his desire. It is believed that he thinks Zepeda is someone who can easily choose, at school and won impressive to achieve the Gervonta Davis struggle.

This struggle could be a pure nightmare for Stevenson, where he has been hit by Zepeda, forced to run and left the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens.

Stevenson’s vulnerable body purpose

“Shakur said that since Zepeda has nothing but pressure. Compared to Shakur Stunson, Zepeda has nothing but pressure, and he will have to bring -very much,” said coach Greg Hackett a Ysm Sports Media When he said that Shakur Stevenson said William Zepeda will see the best version of himself on July 12 in Queens.

Obviously, Zepeda will make more pressure than he has shown in his last two fights against Tevin Farmer, because he is the light title of the WBC, and he knows that Shakur has his hands broken. It also has power. There is no movement that Shakur can do, which will prevent Zepeda from reaching him and bring him with body shots. Transfers do not like to hit the body because they take their legs, making them fried and forced to keep.

“Shakur knows that he will have to be sharpened all night and Zepeda knows he will have to be aggressive all night. This is why Shakur says you will see the best Shakur Stevenson, and he will have to bring the best. This is another boxing night for Shakur. All you have to do is do more.

It will be interesting to see what is the “best Shakur” on July 12, because he has not looked at any of his fights since he moved to the light division in 2023. The only two fights in which he seemed slightly impressive were against Josh Padley and Shuichiro Yoshino. These were two slow and weak boys.

“You don’t have to get out of there and get a tie. You don’t have to go out and move all night. All you have to do is be busy. Feel the need to make a program because people criticize you? No, you don’t have to hear that way,” Hackett said about Shakur. “But feel the need to be great because you fight for another fighter who will come and give you everything he has. Yes, it is fair.”

Stevenson cannot eliminate Zepeda because he means that he should be kept and willing to be involved. He will not. Zepeda will be overwhelmed by Shakur with volume and stopping it in the body if he tries to get a eliminated one. Stevenson can only hit, run and keep all night as he always does. He has his Movement in three backward steps Which has been using since its amateur days. That is why he lost to the 2016 Olympic Games. He was too busy pulling back against Robeisy Ramirez and not punching in the way in the Olympic finals.

Shakur’s A-Game: Running

“I think we will also see the best Zepeda. This will force Shakur to be in his game all the time, because you have to do so,” Hackett said. “Their level of approach is already high. Tonight, we will see how the elite. It is one of the most focused fighters in the current ring. Smooth decision 8-4, 7-5, Shakur.”

Hackett’s mention of Shakur with his “level of approach”, for this, “will be ready to take off as a rocket” to prevent Zepeda’s pressure. We have already seen how Shakur reacts against the punchers in their fights against Edwin de los Santos and Jeremiah Nakathilia. It will not be hooked and will stay in the race, avoiding contact and tries to make it with a small handful of shots.

What is Shakur’s game? Even in his last fight against the electrician, Josh Padley, he seemed poor. In his confrontation earlier against Artem Harutyunyan, his hometown fans in Newark, New Jersey, went to the outings in the eighth round because he was running from the light heartbeat.

“Between five and eight,” Hackett said when he was asked where there are spots that Shakur could have problems. This is the turning point where you have to start picking it up. Zepeda could be quite good around these rounds, but the last four, 9, 10, 11, 12, Shakur. This is how you finish a fight. The last impression is that you are always the best impression, “said Hackett.

Stevenson might look worse in the rounds of the 9-12 championship against Zepeda, because it will be under the pressure of fire and without stopping. Shakur’s defensive game is focused on making his opponents lose their heads. It is vulnerable to the body and always has it. This is how the Robeisy Ramirez de Cuba improved at the 2016 Olympic Games. He joined the Shakur body and took advantage of his will to involve.

Honest opinion: I think Shakur Stevenson stops William Zepeda in the 9th or 10th round. #GHB

“No, different styles” He said Hackett when asked if the two Zepeda fights with Tevin Farmer helped him to prepare for Shakur. “He was able to reach Tevin sometimes, not every moment, a little easier than he would be able to reach Shakur. So I say no. They are different frames of the body and everything. It will be very different.”

Zepeda obtained much more preparation for the style of Shakur in his two fights with Farmer than Stevenson in his last two clashes against Josh Padley and Artem Harutyunyan. These twice light were the full opposites of how to fight Zepeda. They were useless as a preparation for Stevenson to prepare for the style of the Mexican brawler.

The fight could be indisputable

Shakur runs much more than the farmer, he has no power and he does his best to prevent it from occurring. In other words, it will remain in motion to prevent the heat of Zepeda. Like Farmer, Shakur will move, but much more to the point where the struggle will not be seen. You cannot help it. The chin is weak and is not built for war.

“Tevin is cunning, but not as cunning as before.

The farmer used the maximum movement and withholding possible to prevent Zepeda from stopping in both fights. If it had moved more, the crowds would have blocked it. He was on the final limit of the amount of participation he could do against Zepeda without receiving the Shakur treatment of the fans on the side.

Stevenson is not brave, resistant, large or powerful enough to fight the way Farmer did because he is too fragile. Zepeda would destroy him because he does not have the power or punch resistance to fight the Mexican slug as much as Tevin did.
