Maxi Hughes says that he gives Shakur Stevenson an advantage in the fight with William Zedaa on July 12 at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Up-to-date York. However, Hughes is not sure if the lightweight champion of WBC Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) can stop Zeda (33–0, 27 KO) with the assist of feeble hands and a lack of impact power.
Non -capable pace of Zepeda
Hughes learned how arduous it was to leisurely down Zepeda when a Mexican artist stopped him in the fourth round last year. He says that William is just approaching, throwing blows and making arrows to land on his volume.
Hughes thinks Zepeda will do against Shakur and thinks that he can be successful if Newark, from Up-to-date Jersey feeble glass hands They are not sturdy enough to withstand pressure.
If Shakur loses, Turks Alalshikh may need to consider removing him from future Riyadh season cards, because there would be no sense of artificial support for his career. Promoter Eddie Hearn could save money without bothering with the extension of Stevenson’s contract from the stable in the match.
Hearn is fighting how he intends to change Shakur in “Global Star” And we fans think it’s crazy. They got stuck, watching Stevenson’s fights on ESPN and know what he meant.
“Immediately after this fight I thought:” I think he defeated Shakur. ” And I still give Shakur because of his skills and how Tevin Farmer did well against Zepeda – said Maxi Hughes Boxing fans Asked who wins the fight Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda on July 12 at the Louis Armstrong stadium at Queens, Up-to-date York.
Zepeda overwhelmed Maxi Hughes with volume, forcing to stop the fourth round in the fight in March 2024 in Las Vegas. He tried to pack Zeda, but the Mexican went through his arrows and buried him with blows in the third and fourth rounds. Zepeda will try to do the same Shakur, which is even less puncher than Maxi. The power he had will not be effective because of his feeble hands.
“One is, he [Zepeda] He does not leisurely down, and he does not get tired and is good inside – said Hughes about William Zepeda.
Shakura’s shortbread
“It will be fascinating to check if Shakur, We know he has shortbread handsor can he stop him. Because one thing was that he would still be ahead, and if Shakur does not hurt him, Zepeda would go: “I will take a few of them to go inside and land.”
There is no doubt that Zepeda will go through Shakura’s arrows to get closer to the landing. In this way Zepeda fought with Tevin Farmer and defeated him in both fights. He was approaching the farmer’s breaking in their rematch on March 29 at Cancun, Mexico. Tevin turned away from his back, looking like he was in grave trouble in the fifth and sixth round of Zepeda’s attack.
Shakur does not hit almost as tough as a farmer and is less willing to absorb shots. I am trying make a break for it When the Mexican Tom Puncher Zepeda begins to put it in. It can be a fight on the track, just like the fans saw in the fight of Stevenson with Edwin de los Santos in 2023. When Puncher Tomu massacre the warrior, the last thing they do is desperate retreat. They basically gave up the fight and try to save themselves, escaping. This is the case in war and boxing.
“So it’s so fascinating there. I can try to get places in Up-to-date York. I wouldn’t mind watching it,” said Hughes about the fight of Stevenson-Zepeda.
“” Delicate Hands “Shakur Stevenson can cost him vs. Zepeda, says Hughes.

“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.
It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.
“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”
Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.
“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.
“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”
The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
