William Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO) is to challenge Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) at WBC World Lightweight Championship July 12 in Recent York. The match attached the most offensive warrior in terms of performance, William Zepeda against the most defensive boxer Shakur Stevenson.

Zepeda has an average output speed of 93.9 stamps per round, while Stevenson is a boxer that is hit by at least 5.4 strokes landed against him (Compubox). Creating a very engaging duel.

When asked about how Shakur, he would deal with constant pressure, Zepeda said: “From what we saw, he moves on the ring, stays on a distance, but we will have a good strategy. Robust Stevenson.

It is doubtful that he will take an offensive approach against Zepedie, an opponent who has 81.8 percent of the knockout indicator. The last Power Puncher Shakur was Edwin de Los Santos, and in this match he used a very defensive approach. He did very similar to what Zepeda described earlier, continuous lateral movement and persistent by maintaining a secure distance from de los Santos. Its minimum output speed of 209 blows was at least thrown into the 12-round match. After the fight, Shakur stated that he was injured, which led to his low work indicator.

When asked about defensive and offensive dichotomy, Zepeda said: “It will be a very engaging fight, a good fight. Where our strategy will keep us on the surface.” He did not go into details, but the possibility of cutting the ring and minimizing the side movement of Steveson will be the key to obtaining any kind of offensive success. It must also be speedy from the trigger and quickly throw it, because Shakur will give him very restricted landing capabilities. Has a slight advantage of one and a half inch; He will have to quit his stab when he is within reach.

Stevenson is a defensive brain, but he faces the most arduous challenge so far in the offensive volume, who knows how to put great pressure on his opponents.

Louis Armstrong stadium

Dan Rafael informs that there is a “great chance” that the Louis Armstrong stadium will be the place. However, this is still not official.

The scenery of the Louis Armstrong stadium is not much better than in the Barclays Center or Madison Square Garden. When it comes to impressing fans, placing it in this place will not do much.

Event July 12

– Edgar Lianga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz – Headliner
-Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda-Scholar
– Alberto Puello vs. Subriel Matias
– David Morrell vs. Imam khataev

Fans are still nervous that Berlanga (23-1, 18 KO) is in the main event against Hamzah Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KO). They believe that the lightweight champion of WBC Shakur Stevenson in defense of the popular William Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO) should be the main event on this card.

Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) has the title of world champion and captured world titles in three divisions. Berlanga has never won the title of the world and was almost locked in his title challenged against the United Master of the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez on September 14 last year. Sheeraz has a controversial 12-round draw with the WBC Carlos Adames medium weight champion on February 22. Many boxing fans thought Sheeraz lost this fight, but received a draw.

Central Park dreams

It is said that the event was staged at Central Park in Modern York. However, taking into account the regulations and permits to organize a enormous external event in the park, it would be a challenging task. There are also problems with environmental impact. This enormous green park setting is not intended for a huge crowd for a boxing party.

For sources, while the place is not yet official for July 12 #Bebebebasheeraz AND #Stevensonzepeda The card, which will take place in Modern York, there is a good chance that it will land at the Louis Armstrong (14-carat, hide and roof) stadium at the National Tennis Center in Queens. #box

Eddie Hearn says that the match of the trilogy between IBF, WBA and WBO Airy Heavywegt Champion Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev will take place in October or November. He states that Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) “experiences” a slight injury, which he suffered in his victory over Beterbaiev (21-1, 20 KO) in their rematch on February 22.

Hearn says that he has already talked to Turki Alalshikh about the trilogy and believes that Bivol will be “”Do an even better job “ In the third fight with Beterbiev. It’s doubtful. Bivol will not stand and will not fight Beterbaiev. He will move all night, as in the last two fights.

Unconvincing wines

The trilogy would be nice to fans if Bivol stands in its place, and does not run and hold all night, just like in a rematch with Beterbiew. It was like watching Shakur Stevenson’s fight with Ruch that Bivol used. In terms of entertainment, it was one of the least electrifying fights on the whole card tonight.

This is not Beterbiev’s fault. He was running and held Bivol. When fans buy fights on PPV, they like to watch the action and Bivol is not fighting. He is more Shakur’s warrior. Having both fighters on the same card was a mug of poison.

Many fans are still annoyed by a dubious 12-fired Bivol decision in February last year. They felt that 40 -year -old Beterbiev did enough to deserve a win or draw. Bivol’s victory was seen as A decision based on compassion To compensate for the disputed result of the first fight with Beterbiew in October last year. The results were 115-113, 115-113 and 114-114.

The fans noticed that the Comment Team seemed to favor Bivol. It sounded as if they sometimes cheered him, which caused some to reject the sound to filter stationary from commentators.

It seemed that Beterbiev won these rounds: 1, 4-7, 10 and 12. However, the judges gave Bivol based on his lighter blows and favored his impact style. The judges did not take into account the more arduous shots, aggression and the run that Bivol made. On 12. Beterbiev appeared head on his crime and Bivol looked close to stopping.

Purpose of October/November

“Bivol was also in Saudi Arabia. Do we still improve the fight against the trilogy with Beterbiew?” He said about his Chris Mannix YouTube channelTalking to the promoter Matchroom Eddie Hearn about the start of the trilogy between the united heavyweight champion, Dmitri Bivol and Artur Beterbiev.

“Yes, I believe in October, November. His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh]I talked to him again, “said Eddie Hearn.” Dmitriry had a slight injury, which he passes from the last fight, but I’m sure he would be ready to leave, and I’m sure he’ll do even better work in the trilogy. “

Stop running

It would be better if Turki Alalshikh insisted that Bivol fight David Benavidez before he finished the trilogy match. Of course, the chances of destroying Bivol by Benavidez would be high.

At least it would be a warrior who could cut off the ring and deal with the ugly Bivol run to give fans a real entertainment value. This is what these events should be about. After watching two blunt bivol-bb fights with the so-called best in 175, recent blood must be. Benavidez or David Morrell should be those who are arduous to Beterbiev.
