Shakur Stevenson still revolts against him, and he will stick with Saturday’s defensive style with William Zepeda, despite Turki Alalshikh’s comments about not wanting to see any “Tom and Jerry” at his Riyadh season event. WBC lightweight champion Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) says he won’t go “Fighting Others’ Fight” By standing and quarrel.
Stevenson refuses to quarrel Zepeda
Shakur’s provocative counterattack against Turki can be seen as a classic case of biting, as he chose this event. Alalshikh could have chosen a lightweight that is more entertaining and talented to face Zepeda, like Andy Cruz or Abdullah Mason. He chose him, and that’s his thanks.
“They’re okay. They’re not the guys with that ring. I don’t have to stand up and fight someone else’s fight. I fight. If I want to stand there and fight and fight, I’ll do it because I know I can win this fight. So I won,” Shakur Stevenson told Shakur Stevenson of Brian Campbell. channelreacted to Turki Alalshikh’s comments about his unwillingness to fight Tom and Jerry during the Riyadh season.
Have you noticed the attitude And Shakur? He basically said he wouldn’t change anything, rather than agreeing with Turki that he needed to stand up and fight to entertain fans. If he wants to run, he will run. If Shakur runs 12 rounds, Turki will be affected as fans will be reluctant to buy tickets or fight on PPV if they are angry about the lack of entertainment on Saturday card.
Shakur: “Wake up the monster”
“There are a lot of skeptics and people who are against me. When this happens, they are awakening a monster.”
What is Shakur’s expectations for fans? Fans are not blind. They saw his battle with Edwin de Los Santos, pointing out his reluctance to participate and seeing the battle end with a controversial decision. Why don’t they doubt Shakur after the show?
Also, look at the low-level opposition parties that Stevenson’s promoters have been sly matched with him since that battle: “Electricians” Josh Padley and Artem Harutyunyan. Do you think it was by chance that Shakur’s promoters would have brought him in with those guys after performing with De Los Santos? You have to naively not connect points.
He earned a salary for the fight with Zepeda (33-0, 27 KOS), but he failed to attract fans. The Louis Armstrong Stadium venue in Queens has a large number of unsold tickets, which suggests that Stevenson is not available for sale.
You can only imagine buying very few DAZN PPV At the event, Shakur deserves part of it. He is not the person the overall American fan base wants to see.
Why Shakur lost the main event
“I have nothing to do with the Hamzah Sheeraz Kid, which Turki likes,” Stevenson said when asked about his idea of the fight with Zepeda that was not the main event in Queens on Saturday.
Turki obviously wasn’t trying to make Stevenson-Zepeda’s fight headlines and watched the incident bomb after Shakur’s underperformed in the last three games against Josh Padley, Artem Harutyunyan and Edwin de Los Santos. Shakur was booed in two of these battles, and even his own hometown fans were in a strait in the midpoint of the defense against Harutyunyan in Newark, New Jersey last year.
