The smell of despair
This could be a waste of time for Stevenson to continue to call Gervont because it sounds desperately As if it were begging for the remains of the table, And he doesn’t go to his career. Tank’s permanent pressure makes Shakur look like his focus is in the fight with big salaries he knows he can’t win. This is so extraordinary When a person needs the way Shakur is.
Stevenson did not fight anyone from moving to 135 two years ago, and it seems clear that there is no talent to win the best guys in the division; Therefore, he pushes the non-stop for the Davis Mega-Payday tank before one of the candidates beat him. Shakur’s promoters may have told him to call Gervont 24/7, knowing that he was not good enough to create his way to the star.
Stevenson’s style is not suitable for becoming stars. He misses power and is not rough enough. His hands fell apart from crossing the weight of £ 135.
“Next week is arguing. He seems to be focused on me, and Lamont Roach is focused on him. I think I’ll bet on Roach,” Shakur Stevenson said last Saturday night MediaTalking about Gervont Davis instead of his very criticized appearance against Josh Padley.
“Yes, these are the two best boxing fighters,” Shakur said when asked if he would encourage him to fight Tank Davis if he wins the Roach fight. “Tank Davis is a hell fighter. I keep saying he has great skills, but I’m better than him. I’m better than him in hit-and-not-get-hit, and he can’t beat me.
There is no top victory
WBC 135 LB Champion Stevenson (23-0, 11 ko) thinks he has done enough to set up a fight for a tank Davis (30-0, 2899 Kos) beating #12 Josh Padley ninth by knockout last Saturday night in Riyadh and defeat Arttem Harutyunyan to twelve rounds of unanimous decision on July 6 last year.
These are not high -level fighters, but this is what Shakur’s promoters were willing to reconcile with him after his close call against Edwin de Los Santos. After Stevenson’s performance, his promoters went in the opposite direction, focusing on the candidates for the edges.
“Tank’s style: he’s a power scraper. He’s a guy trying to break out. I’m a guy trying to break and separate you. When a knockout comes, it’s coming. These are two different styles, but I’m better than him in boxing art,” he said is Stevenson.
