Oscar de la Hoya promoter revealed today that Shakur Stevenson “He withdrew from William Zepeda’s fight.“Shakur published the reason for pulling out on X, saying that Turki promised him the financial amount of Zepeda’s fight, but now” returns to it. “

Extending

Shakur did not mention how much Turk’s money he planned to offer him the fight of Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO), but it looks like he had changed his mind. Stevenson decides not to move on with the fights on which he focused more “Bag” than in his heritage or increasing his popularity. What happened to Shakur who wants to show that he is the best? Now he focuses on money, sounding similar to Edgar Berlang.

It would be captivating to know how much Turks offered Stevenson in the past to fight Zapeda. If there is the same amount he got to his last fight with a part -time boxer Josh Padley on February 22, then it should be enough to go with the match. Apparently Shakur was well paid for defense against Padley on the Dazn PPV card in Riyadh.

PPV risk

If Stevenson expected him to get $ 10 million for the title defense against Zepeda, he cheats. It is not an attraction of PPV and it will probably never be. Zepeda could not fail to introduce purchases, because in the last two fights he devoted himself to petite performances against Tevin Farmer.

The Mexican inactive Zepeda probably lost fans of these two fights. That Turki would try to sell the Shakur vs. fight. Zepeda as the main headliner in Dazn PPV would be a financial disaster. Even with a loaded card, the event bombed this event if Shakur is in the headliner.

Stevenson has not increased its popularity from the time of switching to a lightweight division in 2023. This is the main problem. In his first match at the age of 135 he fought with some vague Japanese warrior, and then he had a terrible performance against Edwin de Los Santos, in which he was thrown out of the T-Mobile arena by fans for escaping from him for 12 rounds. Stevenson followed this equally monotonous fight with Art Harutyunyan in his last fight against the highest rank.

Instead of fighting a perilous blow, Jadier Herrera, on the card on February 22, Shakur chose the slightly striking electrician Josh Padley. It is quite obvious that in the way Stevenson is matched, it is kept away from tough opposition to make sure that he will not look bad again.

When you take all this, why would Turks want to pay Shakur, what was he hoping to fight with Zepeda? If so, Turks should wash Shakur’s hands and treat him as if he were concealed. He must focus on thrilling fighters of his cards. Stevenson does not meet these criteria.

Broken promise

Rol they told you that? Turki promised me a number, and now he was returning to this number that he promised me and sending his towels to lead me information, telling me simply what he would try. Ion was lying down to anyone, Mr. de la Hoya now negotiate! https://t.co/s33ooy0cefy

Ron Kearney should never be let in the boxing ring again. Not tomorrow. Not the next month. Never. His shameful performance in progress David Adeleye vs Jeamie TKV Tshikeva He was not only incompetent – he was even threatening and robbed a warrior about a possible win in a way that was nothing shameful.

What happened in the sixth round was not a wrong judgment – it was a total crash from a judge who either did not know the rules, or simply bottled this moment. With both heavyweight closed in the clinch, Kearney clearly shouted “Break” twiceIN Tshikevy’s glove tappedAnd he created a standard gesture that signals a pause in action. Every warrior worth his salt knows what will happen next: go back, protect yourself and resume when they were said.

Instead? Tshikeva warned the command. He dropped his hands. Exact moment meant be secure in this sport. Then Adeleye, with zero hesitation and zero warning, broke him with a loaded left hook that put Tshikeva on the floor.

What did Kearney do? Don’t call a foul. Don’t wave it. He counted. Counted. It was pure knocking down. Absolutely stunning.

Then, while Tshikeva – clearly swayed, his legs disappeared – he tries to recover after a blind shot, which should never have landed, Adeleye ends him. Second knocking down. Fight. Task completed.

It wasn’t just “controversial”. It was inattentive. It was someone who lost control of the fight and played with the safety of a man. In heavyweight boxing, you are dealing with glove artillery – when developing a warrior to break, and then allowing him to eat such a blow not only unfair, it’s reckless.

Ben Shalom promoter said Ring That it was “one of the most shameful things” he saw? He is polite. It was farce.

When Ref deny Despite “Break” he called “Break” Every camera angle Raising the voice and hand taps? This is not just incompetence. He is a man trying to cover his own after ruining the war of the warrior and potentially his career.

This fight has to overturn. There are no two ways to do it. It was DQ, elementary and elementary. If the British board allows this to stand, they are as guilty as Kearney.

Ron Kearney should not reject a charity organization, not to mention the British fight for the title. You don’t make such mistakes and return to the ring as if nothing happened. It is not suitable for this work – he proved it last night before the whole world.

Absolutely shocking.

Tim Tziu wanted to return on Sunday in Australia. After abandoning two fights in a row in 2024, former Red Heated Titlist saw his career and reputation. However, when he entered the ring in the Newcastle Entertainment Center in Australia to fight the American Joey Spencer, Tziu seemed freely, while the hymn “Land Down Under” played in the arena. For a man with his career potentially on the line, Tsyza certainly looked comfortable to Australian compatriots. His junior in medium weight with Spencer was the main PBC card and is planned for ten.

In the first round, 24-2 Tsyzy and 19-1 Spencer start carefully. In the end, both men knew how to end the fight early. Tsyzyu exerted pressure in the second, walking forward and protruding his stab. On the other hand, Spencer was still patient, although he slipped and hit the mat in the closing moments of the chapter. Tsyzyu raised the pressure in the third, throwing and landing impressive combinations. Spencer began to shoot himself as the round progressed, but Tyu looked faster from two fighters.

Tsyzyu started landing a combination of blisters in the fourth. In the last minute, Spencer’s round went from a competitor of the game to a bruised and beaten training bag. Spencer’s team wisely entered and threw a towel before the American used more damage. “I proved it to everyone in the world,” said gleeful Tsyza later. “I came back, honey, I came back.” A potentially huge fight with Keith Thurman was raised in an interview after the fight. “Sign a contract, Gigantic Boy,” Tisz said with a smile. “Sign the contract!”

One look at the bruised and bloody face of Spencer, she told viewers everything they had to know about the quality of the recurring fight of Tsyzu. Although Spencer was not considered an opponent at the highest level, he was not considered a second degree warrior. Indeed, before the weekend the man was seen as a potential rising star. However, he just couldn’t keep up with Tisz. As it was said: “They have levels in this game.” Now Tsiza may look at the future at larger things. Fighting with Thurman would certainly be intriguing. Thurman, long with the best welterweight in sport, probably exceeds its excellent number due to high inactivity. Because TSZ still returns to his feet, there may be a huge factor of curiosity in the game.
