Outlook
Reports Ariel Helwani That #14 WBC ranked a light candidate Jadier Herrera and Josh Padley are two options considered to be a shakur fight on Arthur Beterbiev against Dmitry Bivol 2 cards on the Kingdom Arena. Padley (15-0, 4 ko) is not approximately as talented as Herrera Southpaw, but British also goes with a great victory over Mark Chamberlain.
Herrera is a better fighter than Schofield, and he is much more dangerous because of his strength, technical skills and Jugpaw stops. If Shakur’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, does not mind Jadier Herrera potentially ejects him, this is a great option for replacement and a large upgrade over Floyd Schofield. Cuban had cunning power in her left hand. The way he releases him reminds me of the super medium weight Osley Iglesias. If Herrera hits Shakura with the rest, the spatula will bring him down from the canvas.
Shakur will have a built -in pronunciation if he loses to Jadier Herrera. It can blame that he is arguing in three days and does not prepare for a southern pope with one blow.
Hearn has 2020. Olympic gold medal Andy Cruz, whom he could also use as a replacement. Cruz is as talented as Shakur, but with more power and more fun. He is another one who would have a great chance to beat Shakur. It comes down to whether Hearn believes in Shakur enough to allow him to fight Jadier or Andy Cruz because they both would have a good chance of winning him.
“I understand that I want to keep Shakur on the card, but I don’t know anyone who can come to a three -day place and be in shape,” said Ade Oladipo in Ariel Helwani YouTube The channel, speaking of Shakur Stevenson, who needed a replacement opponent after Floyd Schofield pulled out.
“Three days for everyone to fight against Shakur Stevenson, who is in shape, there will be crazy mismatch. I love Josha Padley. I hope he gets a chance. He entered and upset Mark Chamberlain on [September 21st] Dull [Stadium] card. But what weight now walks around?
“Josh Padley is easy. These guys usually walk with 170 and decrease on that weight. I don’t know where it is right now. I’m surprised [Joe Cordina] He didn’t get a call here. I don’t know if he fought. “
