Can Eddie Hearn deliver? Challenges of making Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson

VBC Light Champion Shakur Stevenson received the first fight his two-way contract with Eddie Hearn from last Saturday, stoping the electrician Josh Padley (15-1, 4 KOS) in the ninth round. It is now to hear that money is fighting Shakura (23-0, 11 KOS) against VBA 135-lb Champions Gervonta Davis.

Hearn’s Investment

If Eddie can’t deliver the fight to Shakur tank, it will be interesting to see who fights. Shakur only fought a decent name, because he moves to 135, Edwin de Los Santos and he looked awful in that fight. Andy Cruz is ranked # 1 The candidate in VBC for Shakur’s belt and Hearn was very quiet about being quarreled between them. You can guess why. Shakur is more useful for fighting Davis tanks from CRUZ, who was born Cuba, who is not yet known and not to be a strong promotional pressure from measures.

Built for cash tank

If Hearn allows Cruz fighting Stevenson, he probably beat him and destroyed his dreams against the tank of Davis. He knows that Shakur is very beaten and that’s why he was so interested in deviating against Joe Cordine last October, Floyd Schofield, and then electrician Josh Padley. The opposition pattern is offered Shakura and it is clear It is protected So, the hearing can make a tank Davis fight.

Listen to Turki Alalshikh needed to be interested in making a tank against Stevenson fight because it is impossible without it. It would be too financial risk because Shakur is not a PPV draw. All buying would come from Gervonte’s side, and his PPV numbers were always on the low side of the spectrum, except his fight against Ryan Garcia.

Shakur’s name three divisions won

– Lightly: Edvin de Los Santos for VBC 135-B Belt
– Super Featherna Weight: Jamel Hering for VBO 130-LB Title
– FeatherNeight: Joet Gonzalez, Winner VBO 126-LB belt

The star is produced

Stevens’s three world titles of the world title, was caused by the lack of opposition, which devalves his seat belt. Shakur’s world champion status would mean more if the high-level fighters beat, but these three beaten are not at level level. These are the same things we saw from Adrien Broner, which won four world titles of divisions beating less fighters. For naive fans born yesterday, everything is about it promotional maneuvering Work for fights like Shakur and Broner. How to create a star 101.

“He is 27 years old, in his premiere, he is a world champion with three divisions, he is a super talented fighter. He has a background as an amateur as a lot of professional,” Dan Rafael said Zvona magazine. Now it’s going after the biggest and best fighting. I hope I can do these matches, whoever are against. “

You can release Shakur world titles with three divisions as important, because he is not special enough to win it belts.

“Obviously he talked after the fight she wants to tank Davis. He is in the same schedule as Shakur. The tank is fighting in a few days (against Lamong Roach this Saturday, 1. March in Brooklyn, New York). It would be a big fight Obviously.

“Shakur against the tank is the biggest, the most important struggle that you can do just between American champions. I think every fight can happen.
