Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda Is A Phone Call Away

Ehh. I would love to see Zep hammer Shakur into a corner stoppage, but don’t believe he’s fast enough to land those unending punches. So… It sounds like a good fight but probably won’t look like a good fight.

Shakur just posted him vs Zepeda and Abdullah vs Floyd…. That would be fooking sick.

So definitely not happening lol

Abdullah gets trashed by Floyd.: Shakur doesn’t want any smoke

[BustedKnuckles]

I like Zepeda and I hope I’m wrong but I don’t see ANYONE out pointing Shakur. Could be a snooze fest. I’d still like to see it.

I don't want to see it. Maybe someday he'll be able to look back and say to himself, proudly, "Yeah, the glory days, I ran from the best." But I don't want to be there for it.

Zepeda vs anyone else near the top would be better.

Easy work for Stevenson. De la Hoya knows it and really doesn't want this fight

[crimsonfalcon07]

Zepeda should just get on the horn himself. Can't leave these things to the coke junkie.

Come on now..I'm all for it considering Stevenson doesn't currently have any viable dance partners but let's be real here for a sec, Zepeda is slow as molasses and anyone thinking he has a real chance at beating Stevenson just because he was able to beat a 35-36 year old Gesta and 34 year old Hughes probably needs their head examined. As you can see Bob has no problem making the fight, seen plenty of guys like Zepeda in the past, kinda gives me Viktor Postol vibes when he was on his run before Crawford...

You’re right, he could go the tank route who never fights any real threat.
To say you are the best. You have to fight the best.
ELITE fighters always find a way to win. The ones that don’t AREN'T ELITE.

Shakur wants no smoke

Based on what? The most likely scenario is that GBP are just making a lot of noise with no real intentions of making that fight. As usual………,
