Shakura Stevenson’s talent is a curse? Malignaggi suggests reducing the remuneration needed to land William Zepeda and overcome lightweight avoidance

Image: Shakur Stevenson's Talent a Curse? Malignaggi Suggests Pay Cut Needed to Land William Zepeda Fight and Overcome Lightweight Avoidance

Paulie Malignaggi says that Shakur Stevenson may need to lower his salary by offering part of his purse to lure the ephemeral WBC champion, William Zepeda to fight him. He believes that Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) is avoided by the best guys at the age of 135 because he is so good.

Remuneration proposal

To force these fighters, such as Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO) to fight him, he will have to give up his purse. Malignaggi believes that Shakur’s victory over Zepeda will “force” greater fighting with Gervont Davis.

It is more likely that it will work in the opposite. The impressive victory of Stevenson over Zepeda will forever close the door to the fight with Tank Davis, especially if Shakur runs all night with the Mexican lethargic.

He will have to move around the ring throughout the fight, because if he stands and fights with Zepeda, he will be chewed. Tevin Farmer consumed many penalties in the first six rounds of his last fight with Zepeda, and the only reason he was not detained is that he has a perfect chin.

Shakura promoter, Eddie Hearn, has money to invest in him if he wants to exploit some of his company’s cake to get Zepeda. For a popular warrior, such as Zepeda, it will be pricey. Everything Hearn must offer Zepeda $ 5 millionHe will agree and then hopes that Shakur will make his part without winning. Hearn is scanty and tight, it will cause Stevenson to exist in the shade as long as he stays in the match.

If he is booed by fans, as if he was against Edwin de Los Santos and Jeremiah Nakathlia, he can forget about Tank.

Saudi money has disappeared

The money that according to Shakur will be from the Saudis is no longer after his last fight with Josh Padley on February 22 in Riyadh. Some fans believe that Saudis gave up Stevenson after this terrible performance against the part -time boxer Padley, who fought with a very tedious fight.

“It’s a bit disappointing in which Shakur was in this business. I feel that he is a great warrior,” said Paulie Malignaggi to WarriorSpeaking of how Shakur Stevenson was unable to get the fights he wanted. “It is probably the best lightweight in the world.”

Shakur did not defeat anyone in a slight importance to get the recognition that Malignaggi was overwhelming on him. Stevenson’s fight with Edwin de Los Santos should be a draw or victory for De los Santos. The judges gave it to Shakur, but many fans believe that it was because of his popularity. He shouldn’t lose.

In addition, Shakura’s victories were at a low level of players: Josh Padley [the electrician]An inactive Artem Harutynaan, who took a loss, and little -known Shuichiro Yoshino.

Avoidance

“Perhaps a situation in which he may need a little reduction in salary to get these great fights and try to determine his performance,” said Malignaggi. “It sucks, I know. Only in boxing you can be so good that you are not avoided. No other sport does it.”

It is unlikely that this match does not happen, unless Shakur does not dominate the majority of his purse so that William Zepeda is worth fighting with him. Golden Boy and Zepeda apparently saw Shakura’s fight with de los Santos and will know after watching this competition that the winning decision against him would be impossible.

If the judges give Shakur rounds for landing lightweight blows, holding and running, Zepeda will not have a chance to win. In order for Zepeda to have a chance, the fight would have to be staged on a neutral territory in Mexico.

“When you are so good, they have to go through you to be the best, or they can’t be the best. In boxing you can be so good that sometimes you are avoided if you are not in the right situation and everyone plays the ball without you,” said Malignaggi.

The problem is that Shakur did not show that he is “so good” for top -class fighters at the age of 135 to want to fight him. He showed that he is a runner, a tedious runner and is regularly booed when he stands in the face of the opposition with any pop in their blows. It is not popular and many lightweight years from the implementation of PPV status.

Basically, he is known for its activities in social media on the current promoter X. Shakur, Eddie Hearn, could not be transformed into a star and did not invested the cake so as not to get the fight yet to become a home brand, fighting with William Zepeda and Gervont Davis.

Stevenson’s counseling

“It’s crazy for me because I think Shakur is a lightweight premium world in a lightweight division that has good fighters,” said Malignaggi. “I don’t know what the answer is. Maybe take some cut to try to fight Zepeda and then dominate Zeda. This will force more fights in this way, because then you will dominate a guy like Zepeda.

“I don’t know anymore. It’s such a stupid business. There is a crazy sum of money in it. It moves in a strange way. People play favorite. There is a lot of politics because there is something if there is a lot of money, but it gets so frustrating,” said Malignaggi.

Bradley calls Haney: “Get Mind” among PTSD Talk after losing Garcia

Published

on

Image: Rolly Romero Refers To Devin Haney As Being A Track Star

Tim Bradley says that Devin Haney “must improve the mind” because he can’t continue to perform, as he showed in his last fight with Jose Ramirez. Bradley wants Haney (32-0, 15 KO) to grow out of his mental problems, which he considers as a form of PTSD from the combat service, and returns to being a warrior he was once before Ryan Garcia passed him a year ago.

Haney’s mental state

Bradley has no useful advice for Devin to return to his ex -self, because at first he never had a gigantic chin. He cannot hit, and his chances of competing with the killers at 147 like Jaron Ennis and Brian Norman Jr. They are slim and none. Unfortunately, Haney is too gigantic to return to 140 and 135 to be a bang.

“This form of Devina is not hard to overcome. This form of Devina is uncomplicated. Mentally, the way he behaved in his last fight. I know how you beat Devina. You fell to him,” said Tim Bradley to go on Fight. “Whatever you want to say about his last performance, if you want to call it boxing, you can watch this s ***. I don’t watch it.”

Bradley’s council will not aid. Haney cannot become a brave, engaging warrior, whom Tim wants him to be because the beating he took against Ryan Garcia took something from him. I do not want to put the front line again after this constant bombing of the carpets he took from Kingra.

What was left of keeping a fight or flight that we saw from Haney against Jose Ramirez, in which he looked like he had experienced a flashback. It should be an uncomplicated fight for Devin, but he looked like wild eyes, dealing with fear. Bradley is hard to understand Haney’s behavior, because it is foreign in the way he reacted after the losses in his career.

Tim causes Haney’s dull style

“I don’t want to watch the fight with Haney. I actually try to aid you, Large Dog. I try to keep him 100 to inform you that this is not boxing,” said Bradley. “Two and a half minutes you walk on this ring [circular motion]. You should see your eyes. Your eyes were like cola bottles. “

Turks Alalshikh is still interested in using Haney on his Riyadh seasonal cards. So, no matter how little Bradley and his fans watch his dull fights, he will still be placed on PPV cards to Dazen. He lacked the fight of Teofimo Lopez, which was one of the few options he had for a great payment.

The only other real options for Devin at 147 who earn money are against these warriors:

– Manny Pacquiao
– Rolando “Rolly” Romero
– Conor Benn
– Mario Barrios

Turki will not fit Haney against Jaron Ennis or Brian Norman Jr., because it would be a slaughter. Devin cannot take blows from these warriors and survive more than two rounds. He would probably lose to other pretenders, such as Karen Chukhadzhian and Eimantas Stanionis. These guys are too good to him.

Haney’s Post-Garcia Trauma: Indefinite?

“You were just as scared. They say,” Well, Tim. He has PTSD from Garcia. ” Don’t you think I had PTSD from Ruslan Provodnikov?

Some fighters and soldiers never recover after PTSD. The rest of his life remains with them and it can be like that in the case of Haney. What he went through during the fight with Ryan was a fight and a constant fire for 36 minutes. He was crushed by Garcia and wounded half a dozen times in this fight.

It is too early to know if Devina’s situation is lasting because he had only one fight, but this is not a good sign that after a year he showed symptoms after a year to recover after a beating against Garcia.

A few good fights for Haney at the age of 140 would be against these guys:

– Keyshawn Davis
– Richardson Hitchins

Lomachenko forced Rigondeaux to retire on a stool between rounds, the fourth in a row of the opponent, with whom he did to keep the title.

As a lasting stall at the top of pound rankings for pounds, Lomachenko moved another weight class and challenged Jorge Linares with a airy WBO title in 2018 and won by knockout in the tenth round.

The main card starts at 13:30 ET live in Dazn, and walks with the Ring of the Main Event are expected around 16:30 ET.

Nelson Hysa def. Patrick Korte – KO2

Total mismatch. Hysa sentenced the corta from the opening bell, landing hefty hooks and tearing her head with each neat shot. Kortte knee for the first time after eating a pair of brutal right hands, and then barely survived the round. Hysa returned and finished work in the second – another knocking out, another dam, and the corta was completed. No response, without resistance, only one -sided beating.

Billy Adams Def. Alexander Morales-Punkty (40-36)

Adams boxed around Morales and did not lose a second. Delicate left on his feet, mixed the levels and cleaned his shots. Morales tried to close the gap, but he never put a glove on it. It was a routine, clinical and exactly what a potential potential customer should do. Nothing flashy – only four rounds of pure control.

Sam Gilley vs. Gideon onyenani-Draw (76-76)

Gilley could not cope with the pressure and looked lost in the trenches. Onyenani took him inside, turned him into a fight on a telephone boat and never let him comfortably. Gilley tried to hurt, but persecuted in survival mode. Ugly fight, truthful result?

UMAR Khan def. Moises Garcia-One-Wykna Decision (79–72)

Khan boxed well, but he looked like he was a sparring and he didn’t fight. Brisk combinations flashed, and then pierced long sections without urgency. Garcia had no answers, but he never looked close to folding. It was one-sided-and still forgotten.

Jack Williams Def. Fernando Joaquin Valdez-Punkty (40-36)

Uncomplicated work for Williams, who barely left the second equipment. He remained patient, keen and true against the guy with one win in seventeen attempts. Valdez consumed blows, but he was not a real threat. Williams drove through all four rounds, barely touched and pierced the neat sweeping without sweat.

Lillie Winch def. Katerina Dvorakova-one-like decision (60-54)

Winch kept him neat, keen and all companies from the opening bell. She bitten, turned and closed Dvorakov, without taking risks. The Czech warrior tried to force a fight, but he never passed the front door. Pure control – each round, every second.
