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.

He does not say if he would like Newark, from Recent Jersey Stevenson, to come to 154 to fight or meet him at the age of 147.

“Do you want to do it, Shakur Stevenson? Let’s start it. Without economical conversations,– said Conor Benn Social mediaCalling the delicate champion of WBC Shakur Stevenson to fight.

“Tank” Davis then? Is Benn instead?

The invincible Shakur has a fight for July 12 against William Zezdedie in Recent York. This is a fight that Stevenson hopes that he will be a gate that will give him a lucrative clash of union with the WBA Lightweight Gervonta “Tank” Davis champion. It may not be.

If Shakur cannot fight the tank, he has few options for great payments at the age of 135. To get good money, he will be expected that he will fight someone who wants to see how he is fighting. In this case, Conor Benn can be Shakura’s best option. He can drag Benna back to 147 or press on catching 143 or 144 to give himself a miniature handicap, such as this Conor received for losing from the average weight of Chris Eubank Jr. April 26.

If Shakur does not take over this fight with Benne, he could get stuck in defense of his delicate WBC title against one of these risky contenders:

– Andy Cruz – he took first place from WBC
– Abdullah Mason
– Raymond Muratalla
– Herrera cores
– Floyd Schofield

They are all challenging for Shakur because they have power i / / / skills. His actions will fall if he fights with these guys.

Warren thinks Sheeraz has a chance for Canelo, but he must first conquer the threatening Edgar Berlanga

Image: The Chosen Ones? Fans Question the Logic Behind Berlanga - Sheeraz Headlining New York Show

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.
