Stevenson vs Zepeda: Measuring results
William Zepeda: 134.6 vs Shakur Stephenson: 135
This was a ritual measurement in which weights were determined before what was later made for the media and fans, so they didn’t get a showdown or play. At that time, Shakur takes his antics, threatens Zepeda, creates hype and tries to show Mexican knockout artists to fans who are not afraid to.
Stephenson, 28, needs to be worried because Zepeda has the power to be aggressive and massive offensive, unlike those seen in the professional and amateur ranks. Zepeda fought tougher runners with better physical attributes than Shakur, knocking them out.
Stevenson’s Strategic Strategy: Movement and Holding
- Movement (running): This is Stevenson’s main line of defense. He doesn’t block punches in his pocket like Mayweather did. He retreats three to five fights to avoid attacks. He is not physically equipped to stand up to a massive number of fighters like Zepeda, so I am planning to see a lot of run from Shakur on Saturday night.
- Frequently retained: This is the tactic that Tevin Farmer successfully helped him survive two battles with Zepeda. He had a very tight grip, which worked to some extent as Zepeda became more difficult to throw freely. In a generous umpire, allowing Shakur to hold him all night without punishing him, he uses this tactic to slow him down.
What makes Zepeda even more dangerous is that he is brave and relentless. He doesn’t hesitate to eat some of Shakur’s shots to reach him, just as Edwin de los Santos was defeated. Zepeda takes the punch just to reach the Jerry-esque Stephenson, landing the combination to the body and head.
Turki Aralshuk is not happy to see Shakur turn Zepeda into a boring battle between Tom and Jerry, but the native from New Jersey, New Jersey doesn’t bother him. Stephenson’s alternative would stand in his pocket and be wiped out by Zepeda.
Shakur pursues the battle of Gelbonta Davis
That loss will destroy Shakur’s dream of landing Money Fight for the past two years, after moving to the lightweight division in 2023. One big fuss On the side of Shakur, with the type of opponent he fought, and his style of running and holding fighting.
