Shakur Stevenson vs Joet Gonzalez | ON THIS DAY FREE FIGHT, STEVENSON'S 1st WORLD TITLE WIN
Спорт
Look back at this free fight 2 years ago to this day when #ShakurStevenson beat Joet Gonzalez to win his first championship. Stevenson became a 2 division champ when he beat Jamel Herring this past Saturday. #HerringStevenson
Next up for Top Rank Boxing, Jose “Chon” Zepeda wants a third world title shot. Josue “The Prodigy” Vargas, born in Puerto Rico and raised in the Bronx, hopes his hometown main event is the ticket to title contention.
Zepeda and Vargas will meet in a 10-round junior welterweight main event Saturday, Oct. 30 at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden. Zepeda is ranked No. 2 in the world by the WBC, and Vargas, winner of 13 straight bouts, hopes to knock “Chon” off his lofty perch.
Zepeda-Vargas and a 10-round bantamweight tilt between undefeated Puerto Rican knockout artist Carlos “Purin” Caraballo and former world title challenger Jonas Sultan will stream and live and exclusively on ESPN+ starting at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.

Shakir biggest asset is his understanding of distance, his range game on point… he not even defending half of these shots he just letting them fall short, his feet are always perfect for the situation he is in. Class.

I became a Shakur fan early on as I hail from Newark, NJ. I was at this fight ringside 3rd row. Great fight....Shakur dominated. He has improved so much and has gotten bigger and stronger. His ring IQ is one of the best boxers I have seen. His fight against Herring really showed this kid is destined for greatness. The best is yet to come.

That young man has a rare talent - it's refreshing to see the lost art of true defensive boxing. He barely broke sweat against a strong opponent. With a defense like that he is rarely going to get hurt. He has the opportunity to dominate for years and retire rich and healthy.

Shakur is incredible!!!!!!
The key to beating Shakur is win the foot war, stay on the outside of his right hand circle away from the left 🤷🏾♂️ and feints get him reacting randomly going high and low or don’t hit at all and slip to the outside and hit him with a straight right
And now he's unified at 130. Bro movin fast

Feel like it is underdiscussed how much less energy Shakur uses than his opponents over the course of most fights - nothing wasted, he has graceful, economical footwork, he uses a soft jab for range-finding and blinding, doesnt throw when he doesnt have something to throw at, and he's setting the distance such that his opponents are always hustling in, and out, and trying to find a place to set up to attack. Gonzalez is burning tank allll fight with these exaggerated feints, and crashing in when he's not even ready to throw, bc he has no confidence about where Shakur is going to be when he does. But Shakur is moving much less, most of the time.
Imagine losing to someone who then went on to ass blast your sister lol
O cara não toma golpe! 😱

How is Shakur 5'8, and joet is 5'6, but joet looks to be a lot more taller than shakur?

I wonder if it was too much head movement by Gonzolez. Maybe if he wasn't constantly moving his head and upper body, he could be more effective when he does feint. In a way it seems like the constant head movement made him easier to predict.
