Shakur Stevenson is still calling on Gervont Davis after his more tough victory over William Zeda on Saturday evening at Queens, Novel York.
Stevenson (24-0, 11 KO) defines his hope to fight the tank as “the biggest fight in boxing.” If this is true, it would mean that it is bigger than the fight of Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenca Crawford.
Considering that Shakur Stevenson fought for the subordination for the last two fights, he cannot be seriously treated for his “biggest fight”. Stevenson is not a draw, because we saw many empty places at the Louis Armstrong stadium last Saturday.
Shakur did not look spectacular in his 12-round unanimous victorious decision on Zepeda (33-1, 27 KO). In the first six rounds he was pierced throughout the fight and overwhelmed by blows.
What the judges got Stevenson-Zepeda
The judges were very nice to Stevenson with their score. Indeed, one judge won it 11-1 for Stevenson. He gave Zepeda only one round in battle. It’s unbelievable.
This was what he had 10-2 For Shakur, which is equally surprising. If you saw the fight, you’ll know it’s almost a draw. In the first six it was tough to give Shakur more than one round. He did not sweep the whole second half. He still seemed to lose two rounds.
The results are 118-110, 118-110, 119-109.
Criticism of Shakura’s performance
The fight won too wide
Not enough crime
I made a lot of shots
He shook during the fight
He ran during later rounds
“How constant he was. He really wanted to win this fight,” said Shakur Stevenson to the Ring magazine YouTube Channel asked if there was something that surprised him about William Zepeda in their fight last Saturday.
How Zepeda went through Stevenson
Zepeda went through and twisted Shakur in battle. The results of wide judges did not reflect the numerous shots that Zepeda landed. He definitely did it. Shakura’s looked face showed that he took more punishment than Zepeda, whose face was untreated.
“No, he did not do,” Shakur said, responding to his daughter, who said, “he almost knocked you out.”
Shakur looked hurt and was almost dropped with his right hand from Zepeda in the third round. He barely stopped on his feet and was beaten in the round. No wonder Stevenson doesn’t want to admit he was hurt. It would be absent for him.
“He was stable. He continued. He was tough. He put on a lot of work today. So I give him respect,” Shakur said about Zepedy.
The struggle strengthened the view that fans have, that Stevenson has no power because he was unable to hurt Zeda at any time of the competition. He often landed in purity against Zepeda, but the Mexican behaved as if it were nothing. He showed no signs that he had ever wounded.
Why Stevenson wants Davis’ fight
“What next? I told you all I want the biggest fight in boxing. You already know what I want. So let’s do it, “said Stevenson about the desire to fight Gervont Davis.
Of course, Stevenson wants Davis to fight for a gigantic payment he gets, because it is not about wanting to fight the best. Shakur is wise enough to know that the tank has worsened without fighting enough. The money has changed, the tank, taking his ambitions.
Tank Davis vs. Shakur is not the biggest fight in boxing. This is even the third biggest fight. It is not clear whether Stevenson tracks things, but Gervonty’s supplies have dropped dramatically since his controversial draw against Lamont Roach in March last year. The boxing world Tank Davis lost this fight and received a 12-round draw of judges.
Gervont worsened his situation, arrested last Friday behind the home battery. Although he is not there, he took a lot of criticism.
The popularity he once had was decreased because he consistently chose a indigent opposition, without challenging himself, facing the best.
At the age of 53, Rahman is currently preparing for his return to action on July 14, although no opponent has yet been announced for his six-round bout at Novel York’s ESL Ballpark.
In his last professional career, he lost to little-known opponent Anthony Nansen in 2014, but Rahman clearly believes he can surpass George Foreman and become the oldest heavyweight champion in history.
Whether he succeeds remains to be seen, but the American clearly believes he has a better chance of winning the trophy than 37-year-old Fury.
In fact, Rahman went so far as to suggest that The Gypsy King’s career was preceded by Deontay Wilder, who he felt had also gone way over the line.
I’m talking to Master B4Rahman suspects it was their trilogy in particular that caused significant fatigue for both heavyweights.
“I just think Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury beat [their] careers apart – they abandoned their careers in this trilogy. It’s over for both of them.
“You will never see the best Tyson Fury [again]. It’s over. [He’s] done.”
Jose Benavidez Sr. publicly invited Artur Beterbiev and his team to enter into negotiations to fight David Benavidez.
The comments came after Beterbiev recently discussed previous talks involving both camps. Benavidez Sr., who is David’s father, trainer and manager, said he is ready for the fight to continue.
“Right now, if Beterbiev is watching, their managers are watching, or whoever is making this decision, I am David’s father, coach, manager. Let’s sit down. Let’s make these fights happen. These are the fights we want to make,” Benavidez Sr. he told Fight Hub TV.
“We never got an offer. Like I’m telling you, we never got an offer. But these are the fights we want. With all due respect, I think Beterbiev is a great fighter, man. He’s a very threatening fighter. He’s one of the best right now. He and Bivol are some of the top fighters, but these are the fighters we want to prove ourselves and want to fight.”
Benavidez Sr. added that organizing the fight shouldn’t be a major problem if both sides are interested.
“Let’s organize this fight. It can be fought in five minutes,” said Jose Senior. “These are the fights we want. We are ready to give the people what they want.”
David Benavidez became a three-division world champion earlier this year when he defeated Zurdo Ramirez in the cruiserweight division. Since then, Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol are often mentioned among the potential opponents of Benavidez’s next fight.
“Let’s go,” Benavidez Sr. said. “We are ready. These are the fights we want.”

Many boxing fans consider Muhammad Ali the greatest of all time, but he once revealed his own choice.
Ali’s notable achievements include winning the world heavyweight title three times while talking about the greatest fights in history, including “Rumble In The Jungle” against George Foreman and “Thrilla In Manila” against Joe Frazier.
His final record was 56 wins in 61 fights, also defeating the likes of Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, Earnie Shavers and Ken Norton, and also became a cultural icon outside the ring.
These achievements are why many fans consider Ali to be the greatest of all time, but in a renewed interviewthe heavyweight legend once revealed that he chose Sugar Ray Robinson for the honor.
“This man was attractive. The timing, the speed, the reflexes, the rhythm, his body, everything was attractive.
“I’d say I’m the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the best of all time.”
Robinson reigned as the world welterweight champion for five years, from 1946 to 1951, and went on an incredible 91-fight unbeaten streak.
His record at one stage was 129 wins from 132 fights, 85 of which were knockout victories. After reigning at welterweight, he moved up to middleweight, where he became a five-time world champion in that category.
When he finally hung up his gloves in 1965, he finished his career with a record of 174 wins in 201 fights, and it’s clear why Ali considers him the best.
