Shakur Stevenson’s Ominous Silence After Zepeda Win: Is It A Sign Of Underestimation Or A Calculated Ploy?

Shakur Stevenson has been quietly quiet since William Zebida won last Saturday night over Tevin Farmer in Cancun, Mexico. Shakur (23-0, 11 Cos), a lightweight WBC hero, wants the Battle of Zepeda, but it would be bad for his part to look desperate, which will indicate Golden Boy, which is seen as a certain victory.
From Hoya’s warning
If you Oscar de la Hoya, you need to notice Shakur’s silence about Zebida as a red flag. This is a clear sign that it sees the Mexican folder as an appetizer to use as a tool to get the huge payment day he was chasing against Girfanta Davis.
When Shakur is not confident of hitting someone, he explicitly rejects him that he does not deserve or does not mention his name at all. Stevenson does not discuss fighters like Andy Cruz, Raymond Moratala, and the father of God Mason. these The threats of his reign And the possibility of the money battle it was on the campaign’s path against Gervonta Davis.
“Unprecedented” enemies
they The layer that cannot be prejudiced For Shekour, who, although he boasted about himself, he is very repeated with his choice of opponents. We have seen it recently, Stevenson chose to use it Josh Badli As his alternative opponent after his hand -chosen, the 22 -year -old beginner Floyd Chaufield withdrew from his battle on February 22 in Riyadh.
Shakur could fight an artist out of the hard defeated Nawa HerreraBut he chose the weak Badli. Herrera’s power does not need solid drop once to hit the opponent. Therefore, even if Stephenson makes him miss most of the time, he will eventually communicate with a bomb to sleep. Thus, Herrera was avoided in favor of the advanced Badli.
Zebida took a lot of shots from the ancient Gate Gatekeeper, a farmer, to be considered a threat to the defeat of Shakur. Unless the money for the battle against Stevenson outside this world is good, the promotional offers of golden boys need to focus on placing Zebida towards the Davis tank challenge to his belt in WBA. Shakour is very defensive for William’s style of fighting to be effective.
