Hearn presses on Zepeda as the next step in Shakura’s career, but Golden Boy hesitates
Published
2 months agoon

Promoter Eddie Hearn says that he wants WBC to be obligatory William Zepeda to be another opponent of Shakur Stevenson if he wins in his rematch with Tevin Farmer on March 29 at Cancun.
Hearn states that Zepeda (32-0, 29 KO) was part of his original plan of three fights for Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) after he signed him, and still wants it to happen. The original road map, which Hearn had for Stevenson, when he dropped him into a contract with Mathroom, was aimed at taking these fights in this order:
- Floyd Schofield
- William Zepeda
- Gervonta Davis
The match Schofield broke up after he pulled out the disease last week, thanks to which Hearn is necessary to apply for an exchange. He chose a pretender to Fringe, Josh Padley, who turned out to be a mistake on his part because he made Stevenson look like an average warrior in a lost effort.
Not Zepeda, what now?
Hearn wants to continue his original plan to exploit Zepeda as a stepping stone to get a fight with the tank, but it is not clear if it will happen. The head of Golden Boy, Oscar de la Hoya, died down, wanting to fight between Zeda and Shakur. It’s understandable why.
Zepeda can earn a lot more money by fighting Tank Davis than to face Stevenson, who is not an attraction of PPV, and the fight would cause a very diminutive interest in fans. What’s more, Shakur was running around the ring for 12 rounds, as he did against Edwin de Los Santos, playing on the playground for children. This is not engaging for fighters such as Zepeda, Golden Boy or fans.
“I don’t think you will see him in the ring until the back of the summer and we still want what we were promised in the road map, i.e. [William] Zepeda – said Eddie Hearn to Chris Mannix YouTube channel About who he wants the next one for Shakur Stevenson.
Padley fiasco
Shakura’s left -wet -fired left hand was seriously swollen during Padley’s fight, forcing him to exploit his right hand by most of his power. Although Stevenson could still exploit the left when throwing the body, he could not exploit it to throw himself on the head.
“I said I wanted Floyd Schofield, Zepeda, and then Tank. If we go straight to the tank, this is not a problem either. We would like to fight Zepeda. I think Shakur is getting better. People are queuing to criticize Shakur. He had three notice for Josh Padley, “Hearn said, justifying Stevenson’s impoverished performance against Elektryk Padley.
Needed plan B.
Hearn has to start thinking about using someone else for the next opponent of Shakur, because it is painfully obvious that Golden Boy is not interested in allowing him to fight Zepeda. These are more realistic options for Shakur:
– Ernesto Mercado
– Andy Cruz
– Abdullah Mason
– Raymond Muratalla
– Edwin de los Santos
“It wasn’t really an ideal situation, and Padley can fight. It is very hard when you were preparing for a bad blood fight with Floyd Schofield, and then suddenly it is not. This guy [Padley] He comes in and you’ve never really seen him. You watch a lot of material. I thought it was a good performance [from Shakur].
“He never lie down [in his career]. He thinks he is the best warrior in the world and wants to prove it. It was always a plan, “said Hearn, when it was asked what promotions Golden Boy say about the fight between Zepeda and Shakur Stevenson.
“Zepeda is a good warrior, and if he goes through the revenge of the farmer [on March 29th]Why not fight? You wouldn’t only fight if you didn’t think you could win and I understand it. There is a lot of money at the rate and he is [Zepeda] Mandatory for the world title. I hope this fight will be made – said Hearn.

Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford: Twelve -year search for evolution since the defeat of Mayweather
Published

April 19, 2025
Canelo Alvarez says that he wants to show improvements he introduced in his game in the last twelve years against Terenka Crawford in September. Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO) is still bitter in connection with those suffering from the first loss in the ranks of Pro, loses Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2013.
Code cracking?
If Canelo can defeat Crawford, 37 years elderly, prove that he learned after his defeat with Floyd Jr. He will do the code, beating Mayweather 2.0, although an older, less talented version of Senior Lis.
In the then 23-year-old Canelo, there was a lack of spices to defeat the cunning, much more experienced 36-year-old Mayweather. He thinks that if Floyd fought at a different time in his career, he would win.
Crawford has a manweather style, but with more power and slower speed. His style resembles an elderly legend and can be problems for Canelo if he has not evolved from this failure. Although the Mexican star insists that he improves, he doesn’t look like him.
He just became bigger, older and calculated about choosing opponents. For example, Canelo never fought with David Benavidez or David Morrell. He fought a weaker opposition, like John Ryder, Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga.
“This is a plan. This is what they want and everyone wants this fight, but in my opinion I have to deal with the fight of May [William Scull]And then we’ll see. Who knows what’s going on? “Said Canelo Alvarez Ring magazine Asked about the potential fight against Terenka Crawford. “I know what people want, but first I have to deal with this fight.”
Canelo said all the time that he did not want to look through the next fight. He knows that it would be a mistake to assume that he defeats a talented Cuban because he is no longer a spring chicken.
In the last two fights of Alvarez of Edgar Berlang and Jaime Munguia looked like his age after early specification. He looked like 24 -carat gold for four rounds, but then he slowed down dramatically. That is why these two were able to pass a full 12-round distance.
Canelo had them both on the carpet early and looked as if he was going to knock them off easily. The age of 34-year-old Canelo caught up with him, preventing him from graduating from Berlang and Mungui. We will probably see the same in the fight against Scull, but this guy has a talent to win rounds based on his technical skills, which he learned to grow up in Cuba, fighting the highest quality competition every day.
“Now differently”
“Yes, it can be. Showing people that I am now another with experience with a warrior I am today,” said Canelo about whether the fight against Crawford, who has a similar style to Floyd Mayweather Jr, would let him show that he has evolved since his defeat in 2013.
“I always think I need more years before I fought with Mayweather.

Overdue “50%” Canelo Alvarez: justification of injuries or trying to save the Bivol rematch?
Published
2 hours agoon
April 19, 2025
Canelo Alvarez claims that he was only “50%“Due to the injury for fighting the lightweight heavyweight champion, Dmitry Bivol in 2022 Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO) says that he potentially wants Bivol rematch in 2026, because he wants to” show “that he is a better warrior.
Fans don’t buy it
Fans will not buy that Alvarez is losing because of an injury. It just looked like Bivol was too massive for Canelo and had a style that was livid with him. His highest strength was also an essential factor in his victory over Canelo.
The Mexican star looked exhausted after three rounds. He says he had a hand and knee injury that prevented him from sparring or running during the camp.
Inventing excuses three years after defeat makes Alvarez look somehow pathetic. Even if he had all these problems, why didn’t he try to avenge his loss throughout all these years?
Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) dominated Alvarez, winning a 12-round unanimous decision in a fight, which seemed much more one-sided than narrow results returned by Nevada judges on May 7, 2022.
If Canelo loses another fight with William Scull on May 3 or a match against Crawford on September 13, there will not be much interest to escalate to 175 for a rematch from Bivol. Alvarez might as well stay in 168 to continue his glorious pension route.
“I would like to have this opportunity to have this rematch from Bivol. Ring magazine that he wants to fight again with the unified heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.
Canelo could fight him in 2022, 2023 or 2024. Alvarez does not make sense to wait until 2026 to fight him. Is he trying to age him? Was he bad all these years? Fear is a probable reason. He didn’t want to beat again. Now that money from Saudi is involved, Canelo is ready to fight Bivol. This will aid soften the blow of another unilateral loss.
“Yes,” Canelo said, responding to the saying that his loss from Bivol “still does not bother him.” He does not bother me, but I want to say: “You learned something from this fight. What things you don’t have to do again?” I have it in myself: “You have to show that you are a better warrior than him.”
Bivol’s loss clearly bothers Alvarez because he would not be not to quit it now. This failure probably persecuted Canelo and he is Gumped in failure, Playing him in his head like an ancient movie.
50% of the claim
“I have 50% of my skills there,” said Alvarez about the fact that it is only half -capacity to fight Bivol in 2022. “Without a state, nothing, because I can’t escape and I can’t throw as I do or do pads and sparring.”
Canelo shouldn’t fight if he was only in “50%”, because fans do not believe in fighters when they give excuses after failures. Nobody would blame Alvarez if he put Bivol to the fight until he was vigorous.
“You can ask Alex Govski. He was there, helping me in this fight. I have a month without sparring because of mine [injured] hand. Yes, “said Canelo, asked if his wounded knee prevented him from running during the Bivol camp.
“I made a good fight, a very good fight, but not enough. Oh, he is good. He is a very good warrior. You see and everyone says:” Oh, he is nothing. He chose a warrior. ” He is a good warrior;

“In case they lose?”: The theory of the plot of Ryan Garcia about his positive PET after defeating Devin Haney
Published
4 hours agoon
April 19, 2025
Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney got involved in the argument forward and return during the fatal round table of fury on Friday. Kingry revealed his conspiracy theory for a positive test for the forbidden PED in April last year after the fight against Haney in Brooklyn, Fresh York.
Configuration theory
Garcia says that he thinks it was a configuration to be jumped to PED “in case they lose”. He says that Haney’s brother knew about it in advance, which informed him that the configuration task was to pronounce his loss. After Ryan revealed his idea for a conspiracy, he and Haney argued there and back.
Ryan Garcia: “I felt that I won the fight no matter what. I think it was configured in case they lost. I really feel,” said Ryan Ring magazineSpeaking of his conspiracy theory about his fight with Devin Haney and his later positive test for prohibited PED. “What rubbed me in the wrong way was how his brother knew that I was going to check positively.”
Devin Haney: “How could you configure it?”
Ryan: “How do you know?”
Haney: “How could you set it? You said you have a dream.”
Ryan: “How do you know? Nobody wants to answer this question.”
Haney: “He didn’t know.”
Without proof that he was set, Ryan sounded paranoik and too well grounded. The only available information is that Garcia obtained a positive result. The claims that he claims to be a conspiracy sounded like a half -baked idea that did not make sense.
Garcia in winning
Todd Grisham: This left hook was a shot of money, but apart from these rounds you dropped it with a left hook, he won the most, if not all these rounds. Do you feel that you become too overly associated with the left hook? “
Ryan Garcia: “No, I always had it in my arsenal since I was an amateur. Everyone knows it. So it won’t go away. It won’t change. I think I had to fight in places.
“Personally, I think that Devin is very keen. I tried to give him a different look to catch him in balance. Catch him in moments for which he is not prepared, and I think I did it well. It gave me victory. It will not be straightforward in the rematch. I don’t expect it.
“We’ll look at a good game plan and I’m ready to prove that I can always beat him.”
