Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – February 22: Shakur Stevenson punches Josh Padley throughout the WBC world … [+]
No matter what Shakur Stevenson does, it will never be enough until he stops worrying to please critics, hellbent to never enjoy.
On Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Stevenson did what he had to do against Josh Padley of late replacement. Stevenson successfully defended his light WBC championship when he scored a ninth round tko. Padley’s corner threw into the towel after a third knackdown in the ninth round.
Here is a look at the end:
Padley performed well, all things considered, but he was clearly overcome in the fields of skill and athlete. Stevenson took his time, as he does normally, but ultimately took the stop.
Typically, fans had tones to say to follow Stevenson’s latest victory. The constant boxing personality posted this image of him to troll Stevenson – one of his favorite passages:
While it can be an argument that Stevenson should follow more conclusions, this is not his style, and fight fans who do not appreciate that expose their limited suction of sport.
Next to an issue that many have to deal with sports and entertainment. Coincidence loves FLAIR more than technical greatness and accuracy. The matter with Stevenson is that he is extremely frustrated by the lack of respect for fans and people who simply do not have an appreciation for what he does.
In the case, Stevenson focused the Saudi crowd as they brought his victory.
I take Stevenson by accepting a zuzar role, but he will have to live in that position and not tighten the fence.
It will be very difficult for Stevenson to swallow this kind of situation when the opponent he can get more assessment than he did. Predictively, Stevenson’s rival, Gervonta Davis, took the opportunity to offer some little secret criticism with this simple post on X.
No matter what someone says, Stevenson remains the harshest challenge possible for Tank Davis. He knows this, and anyone who really understands boxing also knows.
Can Stevenson beat the tank? No one knows, and is still one of the biggest and best fights to do in this sport.
Earlier on the card, Callum Smith surpassed Joshua Buatsi in a light epic war in heavy weight that could position the former for another blow in the title 175 pounds. I would also like to see him confront David Morrell if the title shot or a war with David Benavidz is not available.
Agit Kabayel became the first man to stop Zhilei Zhang when he destroyed the Big Bang body along the way to the sixth round victory. Kabayel is a temporary WBC heavyweight champion, but he is close to winning a blow in a lawful world title.
Vergil Ortiz Jr. It seems great in making a unanimous decision of victory over Israil Madrimov. Ortiz vs Xander Zayas or Sebastian Fundora would make much sense.
In one of the worst fighting, Hamzah Sheeraz and Carlos Adams fought in a divided less than with soul.
Here is a look at all the results from the Beterbiev-Bivol 2 card.
