5 days agoon

William Zepeda’s coach, Panda, release the cat from the bag, revealing that Shakur Stevenson rejected Fighting with Zapeda of May 4 (correction: May 3) for Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull Undercard in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Zepeda’s fight denied
Panda’s coach says he was told that it was so “Too early” for Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) for the fight of Zepeda. Of course, it strengthens the view of fans about Newark, coming from Recent Jersey, Shakur, that he quit a real fight in favor of tomato cans to ensure that he will not be defeated.
I was afraid of that. Shakur avoids real threats to milk his delicate WBC title and Keep artificially his undefeated record. Zepeda (32-0, 27 KO) would be a nightmare for Shakur, who would run after all the creation to refrain from imprisoning and forcing to defend against avalanches.
“After Shakur won the last fight [Josh Padley]We were supposed to fight in Saudi Arabia on May 4, but someone said it was too early – said coach Panda Millcity boxing About Shakur Stevenson, who said it was “too early” to fight William Zepeda after winning Josh Padley on February 22. “Yes, Canelo [vs. William Scull] Undercard in Saudi Arabia. “
Stevenson’s strategy
Shakur will not be able to go back to the fight with Tank Davis tender opposition to infinity, Hoping that he would be able to convince him to fight him. Tank can see himself that Stevenson is not fighting the world -class opposition because his bad experience against Edwin de los Santos. These are real insidious things.
WBC must put Shakura’s feet to the fire to force him to fight Zepeda or No. 1 Andy Cruz. He can’t just sit on his WBC title like a mother of a hen, waiting for Tank Davis to give him a payout day, after which he led the campaign because he moved to delicate in 2023. Tank should insist that Shakur faces these three fighters before he gave him a fight for which he entertained him:
- Andy Cruz
- William Zepeds
- Keyshawn Davis
To get the final pot of gold against the Lithe Division King, Shakur should be ready to make a final sacrifice. These three are sufficient tests for Shakur to show that he is worthy of meetings with his height, tank. I don’t ask much. Just fight these three, Shakur, and if you go through these three Apical predators You still get the day of payments against Gervont in one piece.
If Stevenson loses with one of the killers at 135, Goldmine Fight that he is feverishly lobbying for Gervont Davis permanently; Therefore, when Shakur needed to be replaced after his hand-collected opponent, a 22-year-old novice, Floyd Schofield withdrew from the fight on February 22 in Riyadh, Nokaut Jadier Herrera (17-0, 15 Kos) was passed on or delicate Hitter Josh Padley (15-1, 4, 4 Kos) with his frequency of 26.67% KO.
If anyone had doubts that Shakur protects his undefeated record, his choice of Padley over the Cuban talent of Herrera told everyone what you need to know.

Promoter Eddie Hearn predicts that on April 12, the struggle of unification between Jaron Masters Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis will be “the biggest fight in the USA this year”, when the headline at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Up-to-date Jersey.
Hearn says that this fight will show whether Ennis (33-0, 29 KO) is “real great” or not. Unfortunately, Ennis looked great in his last defense of the title against Karen Chukhadzhian on November 9 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Some believe that the shoes showed his real colors and that he was never as good as noise.
Stanionis: Test
After Jaron worked for a 12-round decision, boxing fans began to jump over, abandoning the Ennis ship and perceiving him as a lost case.
It was not the first time Ennis looked marginal, because in his first fight he turned in bad performances against David Avanesian, Roiman Villa and Chukhadzhian.
Although Ennis talked about a good game, he did not look like the same warrior who had been organized with a higher class of fighters since he was. His boxing IQ is gone. We saw Karen so loudly and clearly when Karen taught him in November last year. The promoter of Matchroom, Hearn, may have remorse the buyer, regretting pouring the signing of Ennis.
If the shoes look bad against Stanionis on April 12, it will be engaging to check whether Hearn will keep him on board or give it up like a bad habit.
“This is the biggest fight in the USA this year. It is supremacja. #1 against No. 2. WBA, IBF and Ring Magazine,” said Eddie Hearn to Stamping At around April 9, the fight between the IBF Errol Spence welterweight master and WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis in Atlantic City, Up-to-date Jersey.
“This is the best struggle in the welterweight and stylistically division, it is such a brilliant fight. Stanionis is a beast- the whole action, a bunch of action and a really good technique.” Shoes “are really against it. Despite all the noise and everything, this is a fight in which “shoes” show that it is a real great, and I can’t wait. “
Hearn is wearing his promoter’s hat when he claims that Ennis vs. Stanionis is “the biggest fight in the USA this year” because apparently not. There is an excellent card on May 2 at the Times Square, which has several fights that will attract greater interest in fans than this.
“Hall Boardwalk, I think we will have 10,000 there. It will be absolutely amazing,” said Hearn. “This is the biggest fight in the USA this year and the best fight in the USA this year. Yes, April 12 at Hall Boardwalk.”
In Boardwalk Hall there will be a nice crowd for the ennis-Stanionis party. Shoes and Stanonis will have to keep a fun program to make fans elated. Hearn hopes that the shoes are making a number on Eimantas so that he can start setting another unification fight with the WBO WBO BRIAN Norman Jr. Or more likely that WBC Master Mario Barrios.
It seems to me that Hearn will save Norman Jr. Finally, because he is the most tough of the other two masters he would have to defeat. The longer Ennis is waiting, the better for him, because Norman Jr. He can be picked up by someone, which would save him a problem with fighting him.
“It’s a unique collection of two lanes. WBA and a ring magazine,” said Boots to Matchroom boxing about his fight with Stanionis.
“It’s a good fight. Stanionis is one of the best. I think he is one of the best in this weight,” said Derek “Bozi” ENNIS. “This is where you will see shoes at a different level. They have not seen a high level yet. I think that the shoes have fallen into the habit of exclusion.

Joyce vs. Hrgovic, the battle for the meaning: “I will win” – predicts Joyce

Joe Joyce predicts that he will defeat the pretender for heavyweight Filip Hrgovica in a 10-round headliner on Saturday, April 5, live at DAZN at 14:00 et/11: 00 PT with Co-OP Live Arena in Manchester, England.
No warrior can afford another loss if they want to stay in hunting for a shot in the title of world champion. 32 -year -old Hrgovic was knocked out in the eighth round by Daniel Dubois in June last year in Riyjad in a fight in which he was a favorite to win.
Hrgovic was put as a substitute after Dillian Whyte withdrew from the fight with Joyce because of an injury. He is a complex deputy for Joyce and he doesn’t look good.
“The Juggernaut” Joyce (16-3, 13 KO) has a 1-3 record in its last four fights and slipped out of the 15 best rankings after his last defeat with Derek Chisor on July 27 last year. Joe’s performance in this fight was one of the worst in his career because he looked slowly at 281 pounds.
It seems that Joyce has not cut the Saturday fight against the replacement opponent of Hrgovic (17-1, 14 KO), which can be a bad news for him. In the last three fights of Joyce he weighed in the years 280. And this is too much weight for him, because he is too free to carry this kind of size. It must be in the 250s, but it doesn’t look like it happened.
“It is quite highly rated and it is a name that will return to the top,” said Joe Joyce Queensberry About his fight with the pretender Filip Hrgovic on Saturday, April 5 in Manchester, England. “Bookmakers are not always right. Let’s see. This is a great fight,” said Juggernaut Joyce, asked why Hrgovic became a favorite, even though Daniel Dubois lost.
Hrgovic occupies #6 IBF, #6 WBA and #6 WBC. After the way he looked with his loss with Dubois, he will probably have to focus on winning the position to fight in the eliminator of the world championship title to become a must. None of the champions will give Hrgovica the title of world champion in voluntary defense because he is too hazardous.
Second round
“This is not the best situation, but there is a great recovery,” Joyce said about his thoughts about Dillian Whyte withdrawing from the fight. “Yes, it’s a pity what happened to his finger, but it can happen in boxing.”
Whyte would still be a really complex fight for this version of Joyce, but more possible to win than towards Hrgovic. This is a bad duel for Joyce, unless he finds a youth fountain.
“I know his posture, his style and who he trains,” said Joyce about Hrgovita. “I have a good idea for what to do and how to beat it. It was a great performance, and I try to do the same,” said Joyce about his five -time win in the decision with Hrgovic at the World Series of Boxing in 2013.
“We had fights, we learned and we intend to have a great fight. There is some history, but I will win.”

Coach Mickey Bey says that Terenka Crawford should not be hefty on his title challenge against Unified Super Middle Wweight Champion Canelo Alvarez in September.

Bey thinks that Bud is smarter, who has inflammation from 165 to 168 at night. He says that Crawford should fight more or less the same weight in which he weighs, because it would allow him to maintain speed against Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO)
Crawford will not give any additional power than what he had at the age of 154 or 147. Adding muscles does not improve power in many cases, especially when a fighter in a hurry during one training camp. The only time to add additional muscles improves the power when the warrior is on PED, as in the case of steroids designed to create strength.
The perfect weight of Crawford
“In my opinion, I would not be hefty. I would come at 165 and on the same weight to fight. 165 or 168,” said coach Mickey Bey to Millcity boxing Asked what weight, Crawford, he should break free to fight with the United Champion of the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez on September 13.
Crawford already looks like he has packaged a lot of pounds and seems much larger than during the last fight. Of course, the training camp did not start. Maybe Crawford will eliminate, but it doesn’t look like it will be. He counts on the possibility of matching Alvarez in the size department.
“He shouldn’t hydrate much. He should just stay where he is. Why would he hydrate a lot when he is growing?” Bey said about Crawford. “I’m talking about the best form. Yes, it can weigh. I say that Crawford should be under 170 in the ring or at the age of 170.”
Crawford will be tardy if it again takes 180 pounds after incision of the fight against Canelo, and this will act against his ability to move around the ring. The best thing for him is his speed and mobility. It will be devoted to this if he spends up to 180 years.
Fight night weight
“Whatever feels good in sparring many times, in this I came to. 168-171, I would remain in this respect. This is the only factor, he was not too free. 165 and fights anywhere on the same weight. He will probably have 165 or 170 when he will fight. He can do 160 very uncomplicated or 154, he can do.
“So he can enter everything like Floyd at the age of 154. With Crawford, when he is in the best shape, it will probably be in the 160s.
