Turki Aralsuk’s “No Tom and Jerry” directive: How does it force Shakur Stevenson to engage with William Zepeda?


Paulie Malignaggi says Shakur Stevenson is a boxer, not a runner, and will hold the blame on fighters who can’t cut the ring. WBC Lightweight Champion Stevenson (23-0, 11 Kos) has been booed in two of his final three fights.

Why fans will make Shakur Stephenson a Boo

  • Boring fighting style
  • arrogance
  • Over hype
  • Waste possibility
  • Unbearable bragging on social media

Stevenson defends William Zepeda (33-0, 27 Kos) in a key battle next month dazn ppv At a Turchiaral Schiff event at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. It’s a fight that Shakur must be further involved as Turki issues an order that he doesn’t want a fight between Tom and Jerry.

Malignaggi: Shakur Boxes, not running

“People were saying, ‘He’ll be coming down to Shakur,'” Paulie Marignaga said. fighthype Turki Alalshikh about some fans who believe he will be unhappy with Shakur Stevenson as he is a known runner. “I don’t think Shakur will run. Shakur’s box.”

Fans disagree with Malignaggi. The battle of Shakur runs only when he doesn’t run is when he is fighting weak hams and eggs like Josh Padley, Artem Hartignan and Yoshino Island. The way Shakur fought Edwin de los Santos is the definition of running, because he fought Padry and Hartiunyan. Those were gimmicks.

Turki Aralschuk had a ring size of 18 x 18 feet at the July 12 event in Queens. Because he doesn’t want a fighter who isn’t running in the fight between Tom and Jerry. He is trying to raise interest in boxing. Rather than chasing away fans, they drift into other sports for entertainment.

If he runs all over the place when he’s fighting a good opponent like William Zepeda, then I don’t want to see the Torki event involving Shakur. If I were Torki, I reduced the ring to 16 x 16 and forced involvement from the fighter. Two fighters, Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez, were paid millions and another Times Square blunder, where they chose to run around the ring all night.

“He goes out of range. He goes back to range. He is occupying space. He is giving space. In the meantime, he is working very clever,” Malignaggi said of Shakur. “It’s not being implemented.

“As long as Turki Alalshikh understands the difference between boxing like that and what Haney and Scull did, it’s not boxing. It’s running. If you were honey, you might have won the fight.

Fans dislike Shakur’s style

Malignaggi cannot convince his fans to believe that Shakur is not a runner. He may think he’s not a runner, but fans do, and that’s something he doesn’t understand. It doesn’t matter that Pauli doesn’t see Stephenson as a fighter who failed to engage. Fans see him as boring and they complain. If he were someone who was paying Shakur’s wallet, he would have listened to the fans a little more.

What makes Shakur look so bad is how he retreats 3-6 feet when his opponent wants to see a land shot. He doesn’t stay in his pocket. It looks very bad to watch, as Stevenson doesn’t have the confidence to stay there like a regular fighter.
