Shakur Stevenson admits he is fighting Stone killer On July 12, in his main support against William Zepeda in Queens, Up-to-date York. The lithe champion of WBC Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) stopped bragging and finally confessed that he was in the face of an impact machine like no other he had fought before in his eight-year professional career.

Shakura hand power problem

He knows that Zepeda is at a different level than offensive. So he says he thinks he is hit more and can knock him out. However, what Shakur had little power when he fought for 126 and 130 did not move when he moved to 135.

What’s more, his shortcrust hands hinders his power generation. That is why we see Shakur throwing more to the body, because it is an area where fighters with fine hands can throw to provide a pillow to avoid re -damage to the hands.

Threat to Zepeda Nonstop Ground

“I’m fighting the beast in the division. This guy has 33-0, 27 knockouts; he is a frigid killer, machine. He doesn’t stop hitting a guy who was waiting for him,” said Shakur Stevenson in the Ring Magazine magazine YouTube Channel, talking about William Zepeda.

It’s good that Shakur knows what he has, on July 12. You hate watching how it charges straight into the massacre, without properly examining what he will deal with by fighting a machine like Zepeda.

Stevenson is not more hard than the past knockout victims “Camaron” Zepeda, Mercito Gesta and Giovanni Cabrera. Indeed, I doubt that Stevenson could take half a penalty, like a gesture in his loss in the sixth round in 2023.

The gesture tried to run from Zepeda, but it didn’t work. He cut off the ring on it, forcing Mercito to throw him away, and was overwhelmed by blows. Body arrows that Zepeda landed pulled the wheels from under the tough Philippine warrior, leaving it without choosing it, but to stand against the ropes in the last position in the sixth.

The same will probably happen with Shakur. At first he will run, but when Zepeda lands on his body, his legs will fail him, and he will have to stand and fight with the Mexican hit of the volume in the trenches. Unfortunately, Stevenson is not suitable for this kind of war and will fall apart so quickly, maybe before the sixth. He is a guy who is built for moving, and if you pull him out of his natural habitat, It will fall apart. That is why Zepeda is the worst possible opponent in which Shakur could fight.

If Shakur is not able to escape, he will not survive more than five rounds against Zepeda, because it is not hard enough to take an avalanche of the blows that he will take him, just like the gesture and Tevin Farmer. He is a great runner, but when it comes to punishment, Shakur is average and very sensitive.

“I know I’m opposing. Many people try to compare this fight when I fought Oscar Valdez [in 2022 at super featherweight]. Oscar Valdez presses you, but does not throw it without a break. Zepeda is a guy who throws a blow all the time. I will try to break your will, ‘said Stevenson.

Stevenson’s low foot output

Shakur does not add that there is no chance to match the high performance of Zepeda, nor has the impact force to leisurely down the bombing.

In the last fight of Stevenson with Josh Padley in February last year he cast 419 shots, which was a lot for him because his opponent had no power to carefully. Shakur averaged 47.6 Brokes to the round. Unlike this Zepeda, he threw 974 blows to the rematch from Tevin Farmer in March last year and it was average 81.17 Brokes to the round.

The only reason why Zepeda not on average 100 blows per round is that the farmer held a lot and moved, trying to neutralize his crime. It only partly worked because he still threw many blows and was close to rejecting the farmer twice when the farmer turned away from him, give up. The judge could stop the fight on both occasions, but he didn’t decide.
