Shakur Stevenson is proud of his performance last Saturday night, stopping Josha Padley in the ninth round in the successful defense of his WBC’s lightweight title at the scene in Riyadh.
Stevenson (23-0, 11 ko) boast that he showed “The art of hit and don’t hit“In his victory over Padley (15-1, 4 ko), which his promoter Eddie Hearn chose as a replacement for Ill Floyd Schofield.
Tank fight still a dream
It was not an impressive performance that Stevenson’s Olympic Silver Medal was supposed to impress the fans or make a case for him to fight Gervont Davis. For that low -level opponent, Shakur needed a knockout in the first round because Padley was not a world class. Stevenson’s popularity has not increased with these performances.
It was more step back for Shakura, who fought as if he couldn’t fight in higher equipment. He stood straight up, threw his arms shot and hit when he was attacked. It was a very timid thing and it’s not interesting to watch. Turks Alalshikh was supposed to accommodate Shakur-Padley’s fight at the beginning of Saturday’s event with Mohammed Alakel vs. Engel Gomez and Ziyad Almaayouf Vs. Jonatas Rodrigo Gomes de Oliveira.
After the fight, Shakur and Hearn invited the WBA champion in the lightweight category of tank, wanting the following for the unification. They both claimed that the unification of Tank-Stevenson was the “biggest fight in boxing”. They both know that he was obviously not a good enough performance against the weakest fighter who could be found to lure the Tank Davis in a quarrel.
Produced fighter?
If Hearn is not willing to reconcile Shakur with good fighters out of fear that he will lose, he deserves to be neglected by the tank. If a smooth promoter protects a fighter, as we see with Stevenson, he does not appreciate sharing the ring. Currently, Shakur looks like a typical manufactured fighter, protected by his promoters with the only object to get one big fight for money and then reject himself as a worthless garbage after he lost. In other words, Stevenson is Fake Milli Vanilli Similar creation.
Hearn has to align Shakur with these fighters to show that it is really:
- Abdullah Zidar
- Andy Cruz
- Ernesto Mercado
- Raymond Muratalla
- William Zeped
“It was a huge performance. I showed the art of hit and don’t be affected,” Shakur Stevenson said on Media After being in Riyadh in Riyadh last Saturday night in the ninth round of who’s victory. “He really didn’t touch me like that, but I put his hands on him.
“Respect Josha Padley for reinforcement and do what many people don’t want to do. Many people don’t want to get into the ring with me. So, I appreciate it,” Shakur continued. “The reason they don’t want to get into the ring with me is that I understand” hit and not hit. “
“I love it,” Shakur said when asked about his reaction that fans had enhanced him. “Josh Padley is six o’clock in London. So he probably has more fans here than me, but I whispered them. They stopped talking and they calmly and did what I needed to do.”
Many fighters would be ready to fight Shakur, but the money was never there to fight him. He is a southern Pope with an ugly defense style, which includes running. His struggles have increased, and there has never been a reason for no highest level fighter to face such a guy. If Turks Alalshikh wants to lure the Tank Davis with Gazillion or one of other talented fighters like Andy Cruz, he can do it, but Jig will be ready for Shakur. They will not beat any of these fighters and will probably look bad at losing.
