Anticipating rainfall, if William Zepeda dominates Shakur Stevenson on July 12

Turki Alalshikh wants a “great performance” with Shakur Stevenson in his fight with William Zazda on July 12 at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Novel York. He still wants to utilize Stevenson for other events.

Zepeda pressure test

The airy champion of WBC Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) may not be worth reusing after Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO). Shakur has not fought with such a pressure fighter since his defeat at Robeisa Ramirez in the 2016 Olympic Games, and fell apart in this fight.

The pressure that Robeisa’s gold medalist twice exerts on Shakur is nothing compared to what Zepeda will do. If Shakur lost badly, as I expect, Turki could utilize it on his cards, if he is ready back to 130 or 126, because he is not physically designed for the division of 135 pounds.

He lacks strength and courage to stand and fight with fingers against the killers in Lightqeight. There is a reason why Shakura promoters adapted him to the tender punchating of Josh Padley and Artema Harutyunyan in his last two fights.

It is necessary for Shakur to look good in winning. He can’t stab, move and keep all night, as he did against Edwin de Los Santos in 2023. Will be booed from the stadium. You can only imagine criticism of Shakur. It would be like Pariah later, total outcast.

Shakur Turki expectation

“I want to have a great performance with Shakur because I will try to make more for him,” said Turki Alalshikh to call the magazine X About his high expectations towards Shakur Stevenson to defend him from July 12 ahead of William Zeda.

Turki asks for impossible to want a “great performance” from Stevenson, because he will do nothing more than what we saw from him in the past. He will do it on the track and will have glass hands as an excuse for why he couldn’t stand in his pocket against Zepeda.

“Zepeda, I want to see him in the future [Isaac] “Pitbull” [Cruz]. Berlanga will have another chance. Sheeraz is his third season of Riyadh. Now he sees potential and let’s see from him. “

Requirements of Shakur rematch

If Zepeda wins in front of Shakur, he will have a airy WBC title. Defending the title against Isace Cruz would be a great idea. However, Shakur intends to have a belly about the rematch, and he will not stop watt until he arrives. He will press his promoter, Eddie Hearna to get an immediate rematch with Zeda, because he will be mentally devastated from failure.

You can only imagine the number of posts on Twitter Shakur, which will be every day, clinging to water and inventing some crazyHarebrebed Conspisation aimed at explaining his failure.

Sheeraz-Berlanga forecasting war

“I am looking forward to all four, but that the size of the one in which I think it will be bombs are Sheeraz and Berlanga,” said Rick Reeno. “I have the impression that Berlanga would come out in the first round, looking for a knockout, and Sheeraz accepted it. And they saw the fight against fingers from the first round.”

It would be a bad idea for Hamzah Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 Kos) to get to the trenches from Edgar Berlang (23-1, 18 Kos) at the beginning of this fight. Berlanga is a huge blow and is mortal in the early rounds, in which he shot most of his knockouts during his career.

Coach Sheeraz, Andy Lee, will develop a game plan covering boxing, striving to take Berlanga on later rounds. If Hamzah can survive until the ninth round, he has a chance to precipitate Edgar if he pours him.

Risk of the early round of Hamzah

It is worrying how Austin Williams hurt Sheerase in the first round of their fight in June. Austin is almost not a shot, which is Berlanga, and he had Hamzah close to stopping.

Adrien Broner Flight Post leaves comeback hanging in the balance

Published

on

Adrien Broner talks at the press conference for his last fight.

Adrien Broner has sparked fresh concern after he shared a late-night post from a flight showing multiple drinks as questions continue to mount over his boxing future.

The former four-division world champion posted the clip with the caption, “I’m almost close to Denzel on this,” referring to the film – a comparison that raises its own questions.

The backlash was almost immediate, with comments ranging from mockery to concern as Broner’s latest appearance came days after a tumultuous run that had already cast doubt on his latest comeback attempt.

Some questioned whether the return rumors had died down, while others took a more direct assessment of the current state of affairs. A smaller number urged Broner to peaceful down, but the overall reaction pointed in one direction: uncertainty.

Same pattern, fresh moment

Fasting is not an isolated moment. It follows a pattern in which failures are quickly followed by promises of redemption.

This comes after a messy period in which Broner was already given a “last chance” opportunity to return to the game after admitting he had returned to street life and was asking for one last chance.

Since then, events have unfolded rapidly, from a 48-hour spiral that required intervention to prevent drinking and driving, to further fallout involving those around him. Each moment reinforced the same question: had anything actually changed?

Adrien Broner under pressure

Broner continues to beg, begging for another chance. The final comeback is already approaching the next evening’s moment, when the former champion reaches the age of 37 and is running out of time to make the same promises.

It seems that Don King has become another promoter who has failed to tame “The Problem” who is intent on chasing quick money while living the same lifestyle – it’s getting tiring to repeat it.

For a fighter once on the verge of becoming a superstar, the gap between promise and reality has never been greater.

What will happen next?

There are no longer concerns about whether Broner will be able to return to the ring.

It’s a question of whether he can stay on track long enough to get back on track.

The recording speaks for itself. The reaction was sobering. The question is now elementary – is it the same cycle again?

Gilberto Ramirez leaves with two fights left

Image: Gilberto Ramirez Eyes Exit With Only Two Fights Left

“I think one or two more fights,” Ramirez told Fight Hub TV when asked about his long-term plans. “I have been practicing this sport for a long time.”

Ramirez, 33, said that while he still wants to continue his career for now, he is already thinking about how his career will end, not how long it can be extended. Ramirez said he has achieved key goals in the sport, including becoming world champion in two divisions, but still wants to perform at the highest level before he retires.

That pursuit begins with Benavidez, a fight that Ramirez believes will define his status and push his name further to the top of the sport.

“I will beat him. That’s my plan, to fight Opetaia,” said Gilberto about his desire to fight former IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia.

It’s a shoot-for-the-stars plan for Ramirez, but you can’t blame him for wanting to fight Opetaia. The biggest obstacle is not only the fight itself, but also where Jai Opetaia currently sits. Jai is now the face of Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing.

At the same time, Ramirez hinted at one last twist before his retirement. When asked about moving up again, he left the door open to a possible heavyweight fight, even admitting that he may not be the biggest fighter in the division.

“Why not?” Ramirez talked about moving up to heavyweight. “That would be amazing.”

If Zurdo loses to Benavidez, his plan for Opetaia will likely evaporate and he may just go straight to the heavyweight event for one last payday before he suspends them.

Eddie Hearn expects Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 fight to be canceled and replaced with world title fight

Eddie Hearn expects Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 to be cancelled and replaced by world title fight

The final decision may come after the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao rematch drama ends.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Mayweather and Pacquiao were set to fight professionally more than 10 years after their first meeting, with the event streaming live on Netflix and taking place on September 19 at The Sphere in Las Vegas.

In recent weeks the duel was in doubt, after Mayweather stated that the fight would instead be an exhibition, while Pacquiao continues to insist that it must be a fully sanctioned fight.

Since it is currently unknown whether this will actually come to fruition, this has probably given the clearest signal that this will no longer happen.

Conversation with FightHypepromoter Eddie Hearn said he thinks Netflix can now focus on the WBC welterweight title fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn, essentially replacing the Mayweather-Pacquiao event.

“It’s all a mess. I’m surprised Netflix got into this whole circus… Netflix is ​​modern to boxing, but they need to be a little more solid in the routine because you can’t actually call the fight and it just falls by the wayside and it just doesn’t look great.”

“NO [I don’t believe it will happen]not now. Netflix is ​​only going to do so many fights and the Benn-Garcia fight is now said to be on September 12 or whenever that happens, so obviously this is the fight to replace Mayweather-Pacquiao.

“If it happened Mayweather-Pacquiao, they are committed to that fight, but if it doesn’t happen they will want another fight and from the sound of it it will be Garcia vs. Benn.”

The world title fight between Garcia and Benn has been widely discussed this month, and if Hearn is right, it could spell the end of any hopes of Mayweather and Pacquiao fighting again.
