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.
The former two-time featherweight champion Josh Warrington (32-4-1, 8 Kos) threw a three-time lost series, beating Veteran Asad Asifa Khan (19-7-1, 5 Kos) by a 10-person unanimous decision on Saturday evening on the Arena of the Park community in England.
(Loan: Mark Robinson)
The results are 99-89, 99-90 and 97-91.
Khan looked as if he intended to submit to the point of the competition, but he returned and fought quite well from the seventh round. He pressed Warrington, landing from time to time, thrown out of the outside, thrown out of the outside. In the last four rounds, Josh looked tired and held a lot.
Khan looked like a stronger warrior from the seventh round, pressing Josh and forcing him to hold. The power of Warrington disappeared and did not look comfortable with the perseverance that Khan showed. It can be said that the countryman from India really wanted to win because he fought the heart, and Warrington did not expect this kind of fight.
Illegal blows
He also threw refreshed rabbit blows, which seemed her main weapon in his arsenal. Many judges would punish Warrington for using this blow, but it was enduring from a 34-year-old.
Warrington dropped Khan in the sixth round with an aligned right rabbit textbook in the back of the head. The referee did not see it. Later in the round, the judge punished Khan for losing a mouthpiece. He lost the mouthpiece at least four times in the fight.
It was noticeable. The hit on the back of the head, which Warrington thrown, should lead to at least two points, if not more. I saw a warrior escaping with so many gross blows of the rabbit, without punishment or disqualification.
Based on this Warrington performance, it would be a bad idea for him to face any of the best warriors at 126 or 130. Dazn commentators talked about the possibility that there would be a challenge for the world title. It’s crazy. With record 1-3 in the last four fights he does not deserve to fight for the title. Warrington will be destroyed by any of the champions in both divisions. It wouldn’t be sports.
#1 WBC RANKED FIGHT CENTENER DALTON SMITH (18-0, 13 KO) used its huge advantage to drive a wide 12-round unanimous decision against #14 IBF Fringe Fringer Mathieu Germain (26-3-1, 11 KOS) on Saturday evening in the main event at the Park community arena.
(Loan: Mark Robinson)
Smith dropped Germain, 35 -year -old three times in battle, in rounds 2, 11 and 12. He was punished for a low blow in the 11th round after he began to send himself, trying to knock out his smaller, weaker and senior opponent. Germain sometimes landed, but he lacked power and size to hurt a much larger Smith.
The results are 117-107, 119-105 and 119-105.
Noticeable irritation
Germain spent most of the fight, moving around the ring, trying to avoid massive shots from Dalton, which looked on two larger divisions in the ring than him. Dalton resembled a younger weighing weight in a airy welterweight. He had no chance against him with so many adverse size; That is why he stayed in motion, holding and frustrating Smith.
At the end of the fight, Smithi was clearly annoyed by Mathieu that he did not stand still so that he could land great power shots to knock him out. He tried to force the crowd to pressure from the opponent, that he was still, which was stupid.
Hearna strategy
The person to whom Smith should be furious Eddie HearnFor choosing Germanine from a close rock ranking of 140 pounds in place 14. It is not clear why Hearn matched Dalton with Germanain, and not one of the five best rivals who could give him a real test.
This is a magical question, because Smith has not gained any real experience of this fight and definitely did not prepare him to challenge the challenge of the WBC Lightweight Welter Wweight Alberto Puello master, which is much better than this guy. He could match Smith with Gary Antuanne Russell or Subriel Matias instead of Germanine to prepare him for the title. This would of course be risky because these guys have power that would give Smith problems.
Smith is too large to fight for the title IBF 140-LB against Richardson Hitchins, because there is a 10-pound hydration rule that he would have to follow. There is no chance that Smith can do a secondary weight control without exhaustion to such an extent that it would be an simple sign for Hitchins.
The airy pretender Josh Padley (16-1, 5 KO) reflected from his last defeat, winning a technical knockout in the fifth round of Marko Cvetanovic (13-1, 6 KO) on Saturday evening at Park Community Arena in Sheffield, England.

Locomotive
In his first fight under the recent match agreement, the former electrician Padley dropped the ganggly, slightly striking Cvetanovic twice in the fifth round to get space. Judge Steve Gray stopped the competition after the second knocking out the round. The official stop time was 1:13 Fifth round.
Although the 29 -year -old Cvetanovic defeated the count, Gray decided to stop the fight. Serbian was just beaten in every round, showing zero power, and he had nothing to offer. He was of course well chosen by Matchroom and was considered harmless to Padley.
During the first stunning Padley, he grated forward, landing in constant leftist combinations in a similar way to the piston. He looked like an elderly locomotive with the way he threw his combinations when charging the retreating Cvetanovica. When Josh imprisoned him in the line, he stuck him on the canvas with repetitive arrows.
Cvetanovic showed that a lot of heart gets up and decides to continue the fight, because he just ate 15 shots in the head in this sequence. It is true that Padley cannot break the eggs, but with the way he pounded on him, he has already taken enough. When the action was resumed, Padley was over him, attacking recklessly.
Cvetanovic caught Padley with a enormous right hand, which was thrown in everything he had, but he fired well. Padley continued to unload with the final dam, then sent it after combining with three tough right hands to his head. When Cvetanovic got up, judge Steve Gray decided to stop the fight.
Backward
Padley went down to the ninth knockout defeat with the WBC Lightweight Shakur Stevenson champion on February 22 in Riyadh. Promoter Eddie Hearn, who chose Padley over the much more hazardous Cuban Southpaw Jadier Herrera, so that Shakur could fight, he liked what he saw so much that he signed him on the contract. Most fans were not impressed by Padley.
They were more disgusted Shakur, who wounded in his frail hands and showed little power in the fight with a guy who would not last more than one or two rounds with the airy champion of Gervont Davis or Keyshawn Davis.
