Hand problems persist for Shakur Stevenson after winning Padley

Shakur Stevenson says he injured both hands during his fight against Josh Padley on Saturday night in Riad. Shakur (23-0, 11 kos) still stopped Padley (15-1, 4 kos) in the ninth round in a successful defense of the title of his light WBB belt in the place, but the injuries for both hands are worrisome.

Hand problems

He has Glass handsand is not cut by fighting unless it is against the weak opposition. The 2016 Olympic silver medalist Shakur has fought only for a talented fighter throughout his career, Edwin de los Santos. Due to the problems of his hand, he was forced to move constantly. Since then, its management has put it with two weak opponents, Padley and Artem Harutyunyan.

If you have your desire for the fight against Gervonta Davis of which she has been obsessed, her hands will probably fall apart and end up most of the battle while fans will boo. Fans who ordered the fight in PPV, thinking that it would be competitive, will feel stupid.

It is essential that Shakur first prove that he can overcome a true talent weight top before being combined with Tank Davis. At this time, Stevenson has been deliberately matched against two weak blows in consecutive fights since his disastrous performance against the saints.

My suggestion would be that Shakur demonstrates two or three of these fighters before Turki gives him the tank fight:

– Andy Cruz: You need to be the first
– Raymond Muratalla
– Abdullah Mason
– William Zepeda

Stevenson, 27, did not face a hitter, and did not need to sit in his shots to win against this level of opponent. The injuries create many doubts about whether Shakur is physically built for the 135 -pound division. Returning to 130 or 126 could do things a little easier for Shakur because he will not have to charge in HI’s shots as he does at 135.

“You have to ask you. How will it hit me? How will his blows to me land that I made him throw a million times? Shakur Stevenson said to SecondSpeaking of Gervonta Davis. “I can’t wait for it to happen. Turki is the guy. He says he wants the fight to happen.

“If he approaches me and says he wants to get the fight, I am willing to negotiate and see if we can reach an agreement and make that fight happen. I don’t need it. I win a lot of money when I fight, but I would love that this fight happens. Everything is in him, ”said Shakur.
