Gervonta Davis coach Kenny Ellis said Shakur StevensonMissed the boat” Do not fight with tanks when providing it to him. They have now “continue” to other things. Kenny said he believed Shakur was trying to “aging him” and his strategy would not work properly.
Aging claims
Ellis didn’t say Stevenson (23-0, 11 kos) lost his chance to fight him, but he said he had a chance to miss it. Newark, a native of New Jersey tried to age him, but that didn’t work. Now, he will have to endure it.
If Shakur cannot get the battle of tank Davis, his choice is 135. His profession as a world title could be abruptly ended by these combatants:
– Andy Cruz
– Raymond Muratalla
– Abdullah Mason
– William Zepeda
– Herrera Core
Assuming Shakur’s entire purpose reaches 135, it is through a money struggle with Tank Davis, which looks like he has failed. He was young and could rise to 147 to catch up with the battles with Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney. That might be a good one Plan b Stevenson’s choice, rather than staying in lightweight and letting his career sink by the aforementioned warriors. I can’t see Shakur beat Cruz, Mason, Herrera, Muratara, or even Zepeda. They have too much offensive ability to attack him. He has those glass hands that limit his ability to do.
“I think he might age him, but he won’t age anytime soon.” Millcity Boxing About Gervonta Davis, who he believes Shakur Stevenson may try and “age”. “I don’t care, because it may have happened. I really don’t care.”
It’s hard to believe Shakur will try to age Tank Davis. He has been calling Davis left and right since moving to the lightweight division in 2023. He was almost begging for tanks to fight. Why did he try to age him? It sounds incorrect.
“People want you to do it when you want to do it. No, it won’t work that way. We’re the face of boxing. You missed you; you missed the boat. He missed the boat. They didn’t control us. They didn’t tell us when to move. They didn’t tell the tank when to move,” Ellis said.
Zepeda deal is not there
WBC lightweight champion Shakur wants to fight William Zepeda, but in his opinion, the deal with Turki looks pretty good now. Stevenson said this last Saturday x About his plan to fight Zepeda:
“This fight was ordered by the WBC. I’m still championing and not quitting anything. If we can’t reach an agreement (with the Golden Boy), it’s the wallet.
Stevenson complained to X that Turki no longer offered him the money he thought he would fight against WBC interim lightweight champion Zepeda (33-0, 27 KOS). Now he offers less than Josh Padley’s last fight.
Missed opportunity?
Kenny said: “It’s possible. You’ll never know. Like the tank said. He might retire. We have to wait and see what he is doing. Whatever he does, I will respect it. If he keeps going, he has my support.
“There are a lot of opportunities for these guys, and they don’t catch it. Keep going. Life keep going.”
