Oscar De La Hoya Anticipates Shakur Stevenson Vs. William Zepeda Pestered

Oscar De La Hoya asserts the high end result, tension, and body boxing that William Zepeda does will be way too much for WBC light-weight champ Shakur Stevenson to stand up to, and he’ll be knocked purposeless or shed a selection on Saturday evening in Queens, New York City, live on DAZN

Zepeda’s Stress and anxiety: Stevenson’s Failing?

De La Hoya remembers that Stevenson (23 -0, 11 KOs) has a Mayweather-like combating design. He sees Zepeda (33 -0, 27 KOs) as equivalent to Jose Luis Castillo, a competitor that supplied a prime Mayweather fits with his stress in their 2 battles. Great deals of individuals believe Castillo was worthy of to win the very first one, nonetheless lost.

Oscar thinks the crucial to defeating the Mayweather-esque layout that Shakur has is with tension, constantly punching, and targeting the body. Although Stevenson will certainly run, he can refrain from doing all of it evening without being captured regularly and forced to eliminate.

Shakur is a slower variation of Mayweather when you eliminate his hand rate and minimize his task down 50 %. He punches concerning fifty percent as fast as Floyd, nonetheless he’s never ever before been understood for his price. It’s Shakur’s accuracy. This is mosting likely to be his very first genuine evaluation of his work, because of the reality that he’s never ever combated anyone A-level in any one of the weight programs he’s combated at, consisting of at light-weight.

“Shakur Stevenson, what kind of fighter is he? Specifically like Floyd Mayweather. He recognizes just how to box, has lovely footwork, and stands directly. He makes use of the shoulder roll,” declared Oscar De La Hoya on MillCity Boxing , analyzing the Shakur vs. William Zepeda fight.

Shakur is a pauper’s variation of Mayweather. He’s not in the very same organization in any type of type of division to the Floyd that handled Castillo two times. Stevenson’s crucial protection is his return, which is a three-step. He vacates collection of not simply his opposition however his very own capacity to land.

Defeating the “Cash” Style

“Guess what? Floyd Mayweather [should have] shed to Jose Luis Castillo, which reminds me of William Zepeda, however tosses more strikes,” stated De La Hoya. “Think of this. Floyd had breakable hands. Shakur Stevenson has weak hands. If William Zepeda maintains coming forward, tossing strikes, is very cautious with side-to-side motions with his head, and keeps throwing that jab.”

Shakur is more than likely to require to accept throw a great deal of head shots for him to withstand Zepeda, due to the fact that it will certainly not be sufficient to touch and run. He’s gotten to toss a lot of shots and really hope that he can injure him.

“This covering right below can not obstruct a stab. Throw to the body, toss to the breast. Pin him in the corner and simply maintain tossing type lots. William Zepeda possibly has the most effective outcome in boxing,” stated De La Hoya.

“So, I acquired William Zepeda on purpose or maybe a clog versus Shakur Stevenson. I such as Shakur Stevenson
