Hearn presses on Zepeda as the next step in Shakura’s career, but Golden Boy hesitates
Published

Promoter Eddie Hearn says that he wants WBC to be obligatory William Zepeda to be another opponent of Shakur Stevenson if he wins in his rematch with Tevin Farmer on March 29 at Cancun.
Hearn states that Zepeda (32-0, 29 KO) was part of his original plan of three fights for Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) after he signed him, and still wants it to happen. The original road map, which Hearn had for Stevenson, when he dropped him into a contract with Mathroom, was aimed at taking these fights in this order:
- Floyd Schofield
- William Zepeda
- Gervonta Davis
The match Schofield broke up after he pulled out the disease last week, thanks to which Hearn is necessary to apply for an exchange. He chose a pretender to Fringe, Josh Padley, who turned out to be a mistake on his part because he made Stevenson look like an average warrior in a lost effort.
Not Zepeda, what now?
Hearn wants to continue his original plan to exploit Zepeda as a stepping stone to get a fight with the tank, but it is not clear if it will happen. The head of Golden Boy, Oscar de la Hoya, died down, wanting to fight between Zeda and Shakur. It’s understandable why.
Zepeda can earn a lot more money by fighting Tank Davis than to face Stevenson, who is not an attraction of PPV, and the fight would cause a very diminutive interest in fans. What’s more, Shakur was running around the ring for 12 rounds, as he did against Edwin de Los Santos, playing on the playground for children. This is not engaging for fighters such as Zepeda, Golden Boy or fans.
“I don’t think you will see him in the ring until the back of the summer and we still want what we were promised in the road map, i.e. [William] Zepeda – said Eddie Hearn to Chris Mannix YouTube channel About who he wants the next one for Shakur Stevenson.
Padley fiasco
Shakura’s left -wet -fired left hand was seriously swollen during Padley’s fight, forcing him to exploit his right hand by most of his power. Although Stevenson could still exploit the left when throwing the body, he could not exploit it to throw himself on the head.
“I said I wanted Floyd Schofield, Zepeda, and then Tank. If we go straight to the tank, this is not a problem either. We would like to fight Zepeda. I think Shakur is getting better. People are queuing to criticize Shakur. He had three notice for Josh Padley, “Hearn said, justifying Stevenson’s impoverished performance against Elektryk Padley.
Needed plan B.
Hearn has to start thinking about using someone else for the next opponent of Shakur, because it is painfully obvious that Golden Boy is not interested in allowing him to fight Zepeda. These are more realistic options for Shakur:
– Ernesto Mercado
– Andy Cruz
– Abdullah Mason
– Raymond Muratalla
– Edwin de los Santos
“It wasn’t really an ideal situation, and Padley can fight. It is very hard when you were preparing for a bad blood fight with Floyd Schofield, and then suddenly it is not. This guy [Padley] He comes in and you’ve never really seen him. You watch a lot of material. I thought it was a good performance [from Shakur].
“He never lie down [in his career]. He thinks he is the best warrior in the world and wants to prove it. It was always a plan, “said Hearn, when it was asked what promotions Golden Boy say about the fight between Zepeda and Shakur Stevenson.
“Zepeda is a good warrior, and if he goes through the revenge of the farmer [on March 29th]Why not fight? You wouldn’t only fight if you didn’t think you could win and I understand it. There is a lot of money at the rate and he is [Zepeda] Mandatory for the world title. I hope this fight will be made – said Hearn.

Promoter Frank Warren says his warrior, Hamzah Sheeraz, would have “Chance of beating” Canelo Alvarez, if he wins before Edgar Berlang in their fight on July 12 in Fresh York.
Alvarez sensitive?
The problem is that Hamzah (21-0-1, 17 KO) will not defeat Berlanges (23-1, 18 KO) to get from the exhausted Mexican star. Canelo looked 100% shot in relation to William Scull on May 3. As he looked, he lost to Sheeraz and in a rematch from Berlang. Both warriors may have too much firepower for Alvarez, whose work indicator has fallen almost nothing.
Sheeraz plays more than he can chew, heading against Berlanga, the size of a weight in the circuitous weight in his first fight in 168. He should start with a smaller warrior to acclimatize him to the division before he accepted the great puncher, such as Berlanga.
It doesn’t seem that Canelo will pass by her next opponent, Terenka Crawford, on September 12. Due to its strength smaller, more lively Bud Crawford has a good shot in winning this fight.
“Twenty years as a professional, he is [Canelo Alvarez] I have done it since he was a child. You look at him and wonder: “If Hamzah can beat [Edgar] Berlanga, then I have to like him so that he had a chance to beat Canelo, “said Frank Warren Ring magazine He would have a good chance of defeating Canelo about his belief that his warrior, Hamzah Sheeraz, if he got Edgar Berlang on July 12.
Sheeraz is in the face of beating?
Berlanga is much larger and stronger than Sheeraz that in the first few rounds he can blow him up in the next galaxy. It hits too demanding and Hamzah looks like he has a glass jaw.
You can’t blame Warren for supporting your warrior, Sheeraz, against Canelo, if he arrives so far. However, without a miracle of the event on July 12, he will be thrown out of the lottery by Berlang. The only way Hamzah would have a chance to fight Canelo if he loses this fight is Turks Alalshikh who wants to do it. I don’t know why he would do it if Berlanga lost.
