William Zepeda says that he transforms into a “animal” when he is in the ring and plans to publish it when he challenges Shakur Stevenson for his lightweight WBC title within eight days of July 12 at Queens in Recent York. This is the biggest fight in his 10-year professional career Prof career Prof of the biggest fight against WBC 135-Funtowa, and plans to exploit the best.

Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) lit a fight, informing boxing fans that it was only in the park to face Zeda (33-0, 27 KO). However, considering how much Shakur has talked about the desire to fight him over the past two years, it is clear that he considers it a risky fight for him. Shakur knows that there is no offensive talent that suits Zepeda.

Shakura glass hands

This part of Stevenson is missing, and his glass hands put him even more disadvantages. His path to victory is to exploit the amateur scoring method to win the decision, provided that the judges ignore higher products and more challenging strokes from Zepeda. If the judges won the fight as a professional competition, Stevenson will probably lose, because his shots will be much smaller than Zepeda in every round.

“This is something that people know me. I’m very placid. In the ring I turn into an animal,” said William Zepeda to Boxing DAZN About how he changes from a soft person outside the ring into a cruel beast in her. “I like to exchange. I love to fight.”

Zepeda is not the type of opponent to which Shakur is accustomed to fight. He stood up the low output fighters who load on individual shots throughout the eight -year professional career.

A high -volume offensive can be overwhelmed by Shakur, especially in the 18 × 18 feet in July 12. It will be a shock for his system fighting with a Mexican knockout artist in a smaller ring and using a lot of pressure on him so that he does not run away.

Compact ring, huge problem

– no power
– low output
– not accustomed to brawling
-18-meter ring

“I know that it is challenging to be a warrior who throws many blows. I know it’s demanding to beat me,” Zepeda said.

It will be very challenging to defeat Zeda, because even when he is vigorous with two operational hands, he never showed the opportunity to cast many shots as a professional.

27 -year -old Stevenson comes from the antique form of throwing matters, moving and holding when his opponents are approaching. Watching is effective but uninteresting. Until now, this style worked for Shakur, but its opposition was largely fighters like in the middle of the road.

Despite the acquisition of three global division titles, Shakur did not fight fighters at level A or at the elite level. The opposition he faced were guys like Josh Padley, also known as “The Electrician”, Artem Harutyunyan, Joet Gonzalez and Shuichiro Yoshino. The Shakura record is 100% built, which shows that he is a warrior created in the laboratory.

Turk’s call to fight

Turki’s post Alalshikh in social media about the fact that they no longer want fighters who are not involved in their Riyadh season cards, he was a signal for Shakur Stevenson and other like him, that they must resist instinct to run and fight if they want to invite to his events.

We will see if Stevenson will ignore Turks and will fight as he always does or listen to the message, wanting to satisfy him and earn millions that were paid by Zepeda in his pocket. This is a kind of fight that Turks and fans want to see from Stevenson on July 12.
