Floyd Schofield Sr. He says he is debating whether to take part in the Saturday fight Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda on July 12 at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Novel York. Schofield Sr. He thinks it will be “Monotonous running match“With Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) in motion, with Zeda” on his ** “.

Shakur Stevenson hand injuries

Floyd sr. He predicts that Stevenson will lose if his fragile “hands of the pillow” do not succumb, and is not able to stop Zepeda (33-0, 27 Kos) with a confined crime. This would be a surprise for seekers because they have Shakur as a favorite. His fans believe that this fight will be a walk around the park for Stevenson.

“Who really wants to sit there and watch the match?” said Floyd Schofield Sr. Millcity boxing About the fight Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda this Saturday, July 12, in Queens, Novel York. “We’ll see because I know that he will be on his bike all night from Zepeda. So it will be a tedious fight.”

As you can see, Floyd sr. There is no certainty that Shakur is trying to awaken it on Saturday against Zepeda. He will return to his base instincts and run away from him to prevent overwhelming. If this happens, it will be booed from the Louis Armstrong stadium by a ruthless crowd, which will not be patient to watch how Shakur uses his impact style.

Shakura “Pillow Hands” warning

“Depending on how his hands persist,” said Floyd Sr. Asked if Shakur will take Zepeda. “They call him” pillows “. If these things start [hurting]he will not have the opportunity to shake [them off] with Zepeda on his **, Like him [Stevenson] He did with “electrician” [Josh Padley]. “

If Shakura’s hands are not under the tension of the battle with Zeda on July 12, he will be forced to run around the ring. Of course, it will resist moving because of the Turka Alalshikha directive regarding the fight of NO Tom and Jerry. But if Stevenson becomes sour and start taking too much punishment, he will go into survival mode and run away.

He will not stay in his pocket and will not fight Zapeda until the bitter end. He will want to save his skin because a knockout loss would be a disaster for his career.

“So I don’t know. It will be good for them. I doubt if anyone will be eliminated. I studied Shakur since he was a child. I don’t rate him on Padley. He is not built so much. That’s why he tries to avoid Floyd. That’s why it happened with Floyd with Floyd with Floyd [became ill last February, causing the cancellation of the fight with Shakur]. That is why people in power try to avoid Floyd. “

Schofield is not the only one with whom his promoters do not want to match him. This is a low list of fighters whose Shakura promoters will not hurry to fight:

– Raymond Muratalla
– Abdullah Mason
– Andy Cruz
– Herrera cores
– Jose “Royo” Valenzuela

Amateur vs. Pro: Shakur’s Flav

“Shakur is not built in this way. He is a good amateur warrior, but good amateurs usually do not create great professionals because they are [throwing light shots]. “

Schofield Sr. Shakur summed up quite well with the commentary that he is a “good amateur”, but this does not translate into being a “great professional”. Stevenson has arrived so far because of preparing for him since he moved to 135.

His promoters kept him away from talented fighters in a division, such as Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla, Abdullah Mason and Keyshawn Davis. The title of Stevenson wins 126 and 130 against smaller warriors. None of these guys now have lanes in these divisions.
