What It Is Like In The Ring With Shakur Stevenson
One of the best fighters in the world would not be joining him other wise.
Here is what it is like training Stevenson and actually stepping in there with him in the boxing ring:
Lot’s of similarities there to Mayweather with the high guard at times from Floyd’s younger days.
Very hard to get clean punches in on him with such a tight guard and solid defense.
His awareness of what is coming his way and punch deflection is quite excellent.
Stevenson next faces his toughest fight to date against William Zepeda.
An undefeated rising star from Mexico smashing up the fight game at the moment.
The fight takes place on July 12th in Queens New York.
