Hearn Confident Shakur’s Brittle Hands Will definitely Stand up to Zepeda’s Unrelenting Stress and anxiety

Marketing Expert Eddie Hearn isn’t bothered with whether WBC light-weight champ Shakur Stevenson’s breakable hands will definitely stand under the continuously anxiety that is put on him by the relentless quantity puncher William Zepeda on July 12 th in Queens, New York City.

Shakur Stevenson’s “Brittle Hands” Trouble

Hearn thinks that Stevenson (23 -0, 11 KOs) will certainly hammer out the pain if his glass hands shatter versus Zepeda (33 -0, 27 KOs) and remain to strike him up until he rankings a ko.

Shakur has actually knocked senseless simply 2 fighters considered that increasing to 135, Josh Padley and Shuichiro Yoshino. Those rivals resembled lower-tier rivals. It’s easy to understand why Stevenson’s marketers selected them over the damaging oppositions.

“Due to the style, I think he’s going to land a great deal of punches on William Zepeda. He’s had a check and his hands are great. However in a battle where you’re landing a great deal of power punches against an aggressive boxer, [hand injury problems can occur],” declared Eddie Hearn to Ring Publication regarding the opportunity of Shakur Stevenson’s fragile hands damaging down versus William Zepeda.

What is Hearn discussing? Shakur is NOT “mosting likely to land a lot of strikes” on Zepeda, since that would certainly show that he would definitely need to be in the pocket. He literally can not do that versus a quantity puncher like Zepeda, that will certainly damage him to the body.

Zepeda’s Nonstop Stress and anxiety on Shakur

Likewise if Shakur’s glass hands stick with each various other, he will certainly be made use of down by continually shots from Zepeda, particularly to the head and body. He’s quit more difficult rivals than Stevenson, and he’ll do the very same to him if he attempts to land countless strikes throughout the battle.

What we are visiting in this battle is Shakur running about, touchdown right below and later on, nevertheless continuing to be on the moving while the followers boo him out of the Loius Armstrong Arena. I’ll be right below to claim, I educated you so.’ It’s far too late for him to modify his fighting design.

If Stevenson were more than likely to modify his strategy to getting rid of by winding up being a pocket rival, he would definitely have actually done it currently, when he was booed out of the T-Mobile Industry in his fight versus De Los Santos. He had the perfect challengers to discover a brand-new design in his last 2 rounds versus the light players Padley and Harutyunyan. Those people had no appear their strikes, and we were well-vetted prior to being selected as Stevenson’s oppositions.

Alalshikh’s Guideline: No “Tom and Jerry”

Shakur has actually been a jogger thinking about that his amateur days, and he can not change his standard nature to end up being a pocket rival. I anticipate he’s mosting likely to disregard Turki Alalshikh’s guideline of no “Tom and Jerry” battles, disclose defiance to that plan by transferring continually, making Zepeda chase him like an animal feline chasing after a computer system mouse, and attempt to win a choice in an amateur-like fight.

Hearn Predicts Stevenson Will Hammer Out Pain

“I make sure his hands will be knocked up [injured] in this fight. The something you can’t do is reveal any type of indications. You have actually simply reached find a means with. We don’t see it as an issue. In Shakur’s mind, it’s by any means required, whatever it takes. He’s mosting likely to land a lot of natural leather on Zepeda He can require that standstill versus a superb competitor,” stated Hearn.

Stevenson vs. Zepeda: Reduced Strike Outcome?

We’re seeing a reduced strike outcome in the 100 s for Shakur versus Zepeda. What we saw from William Scull versus Canelo Alvarez last May will definitely resemble exactly how Stevenson will definitely do versus Zepeda.

It was an error for Turki to put Stevenson-Zepeda in the co-feature port. A much better fight is the match in between light heavyweight ko artists, David Morrell and Imam Khataev. That certainly is one of the most efficient battle on the whole card, including the centerpiece.
