Shakur Stevenson says he’s the “new model’ of his preventing type will probably be even higher than the one he had earlier than. Followers need to see Shakur unveil the brand new him in his title protection in opposition to the prospect Floyd Schofield on February twenty second in Riyadh.
Type Shift
Is it attainable for Stevenson to vary his type? He’s been utilizing the identical hit-and-not-get-hit type since he was within the amateurs, and he’s about to show 28. Usually, a fighter is about of their methods by the point they’re close to their 30s.
Shakur wants to vary his type on the double as a result of he’s going to be within the highlight in opposition to Schofield on Turki Alalshikh’s card. If he places in one other boring efficiency, it’s uncertain that Turki will need to use him for any of his different playing cards except he’s buried on the backside.
WBC light-weight champion Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) claims he doesn’t worry energy as a result of he stood within the pocket in his final battle in opposition to Artem Harutyunyan on July sixth with out transferring. That man was coming off a yr layoff and a loss to Frank Martin.
Harutyunyan is a weak puncher, so it was not a present of braveness on Shakur’s half that he didn’t transfer like he did in his battle in opposition to Edwin De Los Santos on November sixteenth final yr. Artem is nowhere close to the puncher stage of De Los Santos or Jeremiah Nakathilia. Stevenson was booed out of the ring for his operating in opposition to the 2.
The New Shakur
If Stevenson can keep within the pocket in opposition to Schofield, 22, that will be saying one thing as a result of he’s an enormous puncher with explosive energy and will dent his chin if he connects with a few of his pictures.
It’s vital that Shakur, 27, change his preventing type quickly as a result of the fellows that Turki Alalshikh favors are those that convey it. Tyson Fury is a uncommon exception, however he makes up for it by being a clown exterior of the ring and roughing up his opposition inside it. Some individuals just like the junk.
