Comments Thread For: Golden Boy Prez Says William Zepeda Wants Shakur Stevenson: 'He Sees Something We Don't'

[boxingitis]

I don't think Shakur is feather fisted. He's been walking down opponents and getting rid of them lately. If anyone in and around that weight is feather fisted it's Haney.

Look at Valdez face after Shakur and look at Valdez face after Navarette. Look at Joets face vs Shakur and vs Navarette.

Shakur don't change a damn thing in your style, keep doing what your doing! Get those W and let your opponents get those L!!!

"but but but but... Zepeda turned down a fight with Shakur".... hahahaha... Shakur gonna avoid Zep or out-price himself just watch.... keep talking

All promoters would love cross-promotion if it suited them. It’s his job to keep Zepeda away until he’s more of a name.

It’s the matchmaker who doesn’t want Shakur, based on this. There was an interesting Tweet by the ex-GBP matchmaker lamenting the new matchmaking. Tbf if you look at the last few GBP cards, undefeated fighters have lost their ‘0’ quite frequently …

Understood, but don't go publicly calling out others, when you're doing the same thing in private!

You're 100% on the money, but it's Oscar - we know what he's going to do .

GBP talks a good game but when push comes to shove, they seldom make big fights.

What are you talking about? They caved in to all of Tank’s diva demands in order to make sure a big fight got made.

And they just did a cross promotional matchup with Rocha vs Santillan.

So Tank/Garcia, that’s one. Is Rocha/Santillan a big fight to you?

There’s NEVER been a fighter that has benefited from crooked scorecards more than Canelo has. EVER!

Well, 2 questions arise then

1) Will Golden Boy allow Zepeda to take that high risk fight? (history says they won't until they completely fall out with the boxer)

2) Would Shakur accept that fight? (he's been talking way too much lately for a guy who has already started refusing fights)

1) Golden Boy has traditionally matched their fighters tough, more so than other promoters.
2) Shakur just turned down an offer to fight Haney for 25% of the purse, then turned around and offered Frank Martin 25%. I could see him overpricing himself against Zepeda.

Nm..2 that's what I am thinking too. Shakur sees himself bigger than what he really is on the business side. It's not matching up to the checks his mouth keeps trying to write.

It will be something if they do let them go at it. I won't lie, I'll watch it but Shakur is doing a lot of meandering lately.
