Coach Greg Hackett says that William Zepeda “brings out the best” in the featherlight master of WBC Shakur Stevenson on July 12, when they meet in the fight at Queens in Recent York.

Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO) is a guy that Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) wanted for some time, and finally has his wish. It is believed that Zepeda is someone he can easily choose, school and impressively win to fight Gervont Davis.

This fight can be a pure nightmare for Stevenson, where he was beaten by Zepeda, forced to escape and booed from the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens.

The sensitive goal of Stevenson’s body

“Shakur said that because Zepeda has no pressure. Compared to Shakur Steveson, Zepeda has nothing but pressure and will have to bring a lot,” said coach Greg Hackett to this Sports media YSM After saying that Shakur Stevenson said that William Zepeda would see the best version of herself on July 12 in Queens.

Of course, Zepeda will bring more pressure than he showed in his last two fights with Tevin Farmer, because this applies to the featherlight title of WBC and knows that Shakur has shortbread. He also has power. There is no movement that Shakur can do, which will stop Zeda from reaching him and carrying him with body shots. Movers do not like to hit the body because he takes their legs, making them rubber and they are forced to stand.

“Shakur knows that he will have to be challenging all night, and Zepeda knows that he will have to be aggressive all night. That’s why Shakur says that you will see the best Shakur Stevenson, and he will have to bring the best. This is another box of boxing for Shakur. Everything you have to do is to do more. This is all.”

It will be intriguing to see what the “best Shakur” is on July 12, because he has not looked in any of his fights since moving to the featherlight division in 2023. The only two fights in which he looked a bit impressive were against Josh Padley and Shuichiro Yoshino. It was two ponderous, tender guys.

“You don’t have to go there and do not make a knockout. You don’t have to go out and move all night. You just have to be busy. Feel the need to issue a program because people criticize you? No, you don’t have to feel like that,” Hackett said about Shakur. “But feel the need to be great because you fight another warrior who will come there and give you everything he has. Yes, it’s fair.”

Stevenson cannot knock out Zepeda, because it would mean that he would have to stand and be ready to get involved. He won’t do it. Zepeda will overwhelm Shakur with volume and stop him to the body if he tries to get a knockout. Stevenson can only hit, run and hold all night as always. He has him Three -stage rotary movement that he uses from his amateur days. That is why he lost at the 2016 Olympic Games. He was too busy pulling Robeisa Ramirez and without throwing blows as you should in the Olympic finals.

Shakur’s A-Game: running

“I believe that we will also see the best Zeda. It will force Shakur to play his game and all the way, because you will have to,” Hackett said. “His level of concentration is already high. That night we will see elite. He is one of the most focused fighters in the ring. Liquid decision 8-4, 7-5, Shakur.”

Hackett’s mention of the “concentration level” of Shakur, which is the code: “It will be ready to start like a rocket” to avoid Zepeda’s pressure. We have already seen Shakur reacting against Punchers in his fights with Edwin de los Santos and Jeremiah Nakathlia. He is not involved and does not stay on the run, avoiding contact, and he is trying to tighten a petite handful of shots.

What is Shakur game? Even in his last fight with an electrician, Josh Padley, he looked indigent. In his clash with Arty Harutyunyan, his fans of his hometown in Newark, Recent Jersey, they were going to go to the eighth round because he was running away from a featherlight blow.

“From five to eighth,” said Hackett, asked where there are places where Shakur may be in trouble. This is a turning point where you must start receiving it. Zepeda can be quite good around these rounds, but the last four, 9, 10, 11, 12, Shakur. In this way you finish the fight. You have the last impression that you always have the best impression, “said Hackett.

Stevenson may look worse in the rounds of the championships from 9-12 against Zepeda, because it will be under fire and pressure without interruption. Shakura’s defensive game focuses on his opponents Miss Headshots. He is susceptible to the body and always. In this way, Ramirez Ramirez from Kuba improved him at the 2016 Olympic Games. He became interested in Shakur’s body and used his reluctance to commit.

Forthright opinion: I think Shakur Stevenson stops William Zepeda in the 9th or 10th round. #GHB

– Greg Hackett (@Greghackett215) May 26, 2025

“No, different styles” Hackett said, asked if the two fights of Zepeda from Tevin Farmer helped him prepare for Shakur. “Sometimes he was able to get to Tevin, not all the time, a little easier than he would be able to get to Shakur. That’s why I say” no “. These are different body frames and everything. It will be completely different. “

Zepeda received much more preparations for Shakura’s style in his two fights with the farmer than Stevenson, who had the last two clashes with Josh Padley and Artem Harutynaan. These two Airy Hitra were complete opposites of the fight of Zepeda. They were useless as preparations for Stevenson to prepare for the style of the Mexican row.

The fight may be unsuccessful

Shakur runs much more than a farmer, there is a lack of power and he does everything in his power to avoid hit. In other words, he will remain in motion to avoid heat from Zepeda. Like a farmer, Shakur moves, but much more so that it will be impossible to do. He can’t lend a hand it. The chin is tender and is not built for war.

“Tevin is cunning, but not as clever as it used to be. I am talking about being slippery. He is still there, and this appearance of Southpaw could lend a hand a bit to Southpaw. But the way they build them and the way they move is completely different.” Hackett said.

The farmer used as many movements as possible and hold to stop Zepeda in both fights. If more moved, crowds would boo him. He was on the highest limit of how much he stayed with Zeda without receiving Shakur treatment from fans in the ring.

Stevenson is not brave, tough, immense or powerful enough to fight what the farmer is too frail. Zepeda will destroy him because he has no strength or resistance to the fight against the Mexican indolent just like Tevin.

Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown

"Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown"

Solomon Dacres expects to stop Bakhodir Jalolov tonight, but his record offers little support for that prediction against the 6’7″ two-time Olympic gold medalist.

Jalolov has looked sluggish enough lately to give critics room for skepticism. The dominant puncher seen in the amateur ranks rarely appears in his prize ring outings, prompting a few observers to sniff an upset. Regardless, Jalolov looking flat does not suddenly transform Dacres into a top threat.

“Got to get him out of there, man,” Dacres told SecondsOut. “Mid to late rounds.”

That would be a considerable leap for a fighter whose most revealing professional result remains his first-round stoppage defeat to David Adeleye in December 2024.

Dacres describes that loss as a “blip,” but it came against the most notable opponent he had faced. Across five years as a professional, he hasn’t built a record of beating contenders that would make a Jalolov knockout seem likely.

His points win against Vladyslav Sirenko also requires context. Sirenko amassed numbers without testing himself against true threats, meaning that victory hardly proves Dacres can deal with Jalolov’s height, reach, and southpaw boxing skills.

“This fight here is beyond English title level, man,” Dacres said. “This is like world level.”

Jalolov deserves criticism for how slowly his professional career has moved and for performances that haven’t matched expectations. His Olympic medals don’t excuse that, and Dacres has an opportunity to make him work.

Expecting Dacres to win because Jalolov underwhelms ignores his own modest punch output. Managing just three stoppages across ten victories, he lacks the firepower to back up big talk.

For Dacres to land the kinds of sustained combinations required to stop someone Jalolov’s size, he has to pin him down. Jalolov does not fight like a traditional, stationary heavyweight slugger. Even when he looks uninspired, he uses lateral footwork, maintains long range with his southpaw lead hand, and angles off before opponents can set their feet.

Dacres lacks both the foot speed to cut off the ring effectively and the explosive one-punch power to make Jalolov cautious. If Dacres tries to force the issue, he’ll put himself at risk of getting caught. Pressing aggressively against a 6’7″ southpaw who excels at firing straight left hands down the pipe is asking for trouble.

Unless Jalolov completely checks out mentally and stands against the ropes to trade, Dacres will be eating long jabs and counters all night, with a Jalolov stoppage being the far more probable outcome.
