Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson still wants William Zepeda ? but won't 'bow down'

[4truth]

Before Zepeda's struggles with Farmer, this would have been a really big fight but Farmer took all that shine away from it. If Shakur thinks this is a big important fight that the public is clamoring for, he really should rethink that.

I'm confused because I thought Shakur signed to Matchroom. Where's Eddie "earn with" Hearn? Oh that's right he doesn't run his own company anymore. Turki makes the decisions hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahah

Too right mate, where are the “earn with Hearn” and the “time to put the kettle on” council estate chavs?

If they can’t reach a deal then let it go to purse bids and let’s see who is the one that ducks out.

I'm gonna absolutely LAUGH if they go to purse bid only for Shakur to end up with the same, or god forbid a purse LESS than what Turki offered to him...which isn't impossible, knowing Shakur's (lack of) popularity and that the funding for any major Matchroom card is basically from Turki nowadays.

My prediction in no particular order:
1) After seeing the Roach fiasco, DLH decides he'd rather roll the die with Tank vs Zepeda and Shakur loses out on the Zepeda match as a whole. People tend to forget but Zepeda is still ranked no. 1 for Tank's WBA. It will also likely be better money too.
2) Turki, given his tendancies to be petty and hold grudges, decide not to fund it at all and the purse bid won by GB ends up being even less than what Shakur rejected from Turki.
3) Matchroom/Turki puts in the same amount as the offer and wins the bid anyway.
4) Shakur decides to go bow to Turki afterall, they shake hands and hug and everything is nice again.

Why bother bringing Tank into the equation.

He is unstable and no one can predict who he will fight next.

Not exactly a beggar, just someone who needs to corner opponents into fighting him. [Think: Mike McCallum, Saoul Mamby, Jimmy Young]

So a stationary target

am i understanding this they have taken 2 mil off his price for zepeda which brings his purse down to 'way less' than he got for his last fight in saudi v padley

[champion4ever]

Zepeda gets frustrated with all the missing, then hooked & uppercutted to pieces by Stevenson.

People acting like Zepeda is Sonny Liston & Shakur's a young Cassius Clay... oh wait.

I vehemently disagree but respect your opinion.

towel boy??? oh dear

shakur not the brightest saying that

i mean turkey has just paid him millions to fight a gimme fight in padley how many millions only he and turki know and we dont even know what his new offer for zepeda is

"Corner" figuratively, not literally.

Wouldn’t that be Zepeda ???
