Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson fine with William Zepeda next, open to unification with Gervonta Davis

[Jrock56]

Zepeda looks pretty vulnerable after his last showings so that fight can happen quick. I get it. Wish it was like that all the time.

I think he was agreeing with you

Maybe I misunderstood it but hard disagree usually means hard disagree.

Hard disagree? Did you watch his fight with Artem Harutynyan? Every time Shakur hurt him and had in in trouble he would back off. Did he ever open up and let his hands go on Edwin de los Santos? I am not mentioning his last fight because that was a last minute substitute part time boxer.

Shakur is an intelligent boxer. And he's getting better with experience. He doesn't let his hands go with everyone....and you're not supposed to. Many won't let their hands go with Edwin De Los Santos. Would you let your hands go with Mike Tyson in his prime? I think not. It's called "Boxing", not "Knock em Out" or "Get Knocked Out".

Stop it. You can like his style if you want, and you can defend his style too. But it's just silly to claim that he is anything but an evasive boxer.

So his fights are going the same way unless he ever changes that style, and that same style makes him boring to many boxing fans.

This fvkcing boring bum already turned down a stank fight hence why Bronx2245 stop cheerleading for the fight

Shakira really using it as a negotiation tactic is hilarious. Turki, zepeda and Oscar don't give af

I still want to see it! However, I do think it will be a bigger event if Shakur beats Zepeda, and Tank wins his rematch!

Shakur Stevenson is smart and building up a future opponent that he knows can't beat him and have shown a weak chin even with Tevin Farmer plus he's easy to hit which a counter puncer will have a field day on! I think compairing Shakur to Tevin Farmer at this stage in the game is like Judas to Jesus let's be real! The levels are completely different and age as well. Gervonta will go on to beat Lamont Roach and hopefully we'll see him in a mega fight before he hangs them up.

Stop calling professional boxers who make a living getting beaten in the face for a living bums, you basement dweller. This is the third fighter you’ve called a “bum” in two days time. Stop with the childish emotional outbursts.

[landotter]

Either is fine. Neither would suck.

[Teetotaler23]

Shakur DIDN'T turn down a fight with GTD. Espinoza recently came out and cleared things up saying a contract was N-E-V-E-R sent! Stop with nonsense. Shakur has been one of the most consistent in calling out GTD while they keep coming up with excuses and no contract being sent, E-V-E-R!!

Why can't Shakira send a contract?

[NoAgendaBoxing]

Shakur has been begging for a fight with Tank for a long time and, quite frankly, it is embarrassing. It is obvious that Tank does not want to fight him. Shakur's next fight will be with Zapeda and, once again, it will be a boring points decision. No, he is not going to beat anybody up because that is not his style. He does not open up and let his hands go with anyone half dangerous because he does not want to be countered.

For all the talk, name calling and bravado, we have seen the script play itself out a number of times so we know what to expect. I will not be paying for the fight but will be streaming it if I have nothing better to do on that day. Shakur is not a "must watch" show on my list.

He will definitely beat Zepeda up, because he has nothing to make Shakur worry.
