Stevenson vs Zepeda - Major rival of Manny Pacquiao makes emphatic prediction
Tim Bradley is expecting a dominant performance when Shakur Stevenson returns to action this weekend, live on DAZN.
In recent fights, Stevenson has been criticised for his negativity, but it is hoped that Zepeda’s relentless output can help bring out the best in the three-weight world champion.
Waiting for the winner are numerous potential showdowns against some of the biggest names in the sport such as Gervonta Davis and Teofimo Lopez.
For Stevenson, a fighter who has always chased the biggest challenges, the Zepeda bout is expected to be the toughest of his career, and the Golden Boy promoted star certainly has his backers.

The Mexican star has impressed on his ascent up the rankings, and he now has the opportunity to become world champion.
Bradley, a fighter who did not walk away from any challenge and faced the legendary Manny Pacquiao three times, has been impressed by what he has seen from Stevenson and he has given his backing to the New Jersey man.
“Shakur is going to fight his way out [of the corner]. He’s going to show us something we’ve been waiting to see since the [Jamel] Herring fight [in 2021],” said Bradley when speaking on his YouTube channel.
“He beat the brakes on Herron. That was one of his best performances. I think we might see something like that for Shakur in this fight.
“I’m telling you that if his hands are healthy, it’s going to be a massacre, a landslide victory. It might be a stoppage. Zepeda fights one way. He comes forward, that’s it. I’ll tell you what I like about him. He will attack that body.”
