Trainer Stephen Edwards says that if Shakur Stevenson is pressing against Garvonta Davis, he will have to play a “risk -free” to avoid getting clipped.

Edwards suspected that Shakur's security-first, point-scoring amateur style would be appreciated by the judges to win the decision against WBA Lightweight Champion Tank Davis (1-3-6, 20K).

Stephen thinks that the judges and fans in this era do not praise the WBC Lightweight champion Stevenson (25-5, 5KO). His only avenue to win is through a decision. Shakur tries to try for him and does not bribe Garvanta enough to get rid of it.

Modern boxing vs. Mayweather era

Shaku's three sections have won the world title by using the old Mayweather-Asco Fighting style. However, one of the major reasons for this is that he did not fight against great opposition to win these belts. Shakur is now against the best at 126, 130 and 135, it will be a separate story. Perhaps he will be empty in each category unless he is the weakest champion.

Stephen Edwards said “I don't think that the fighting style has to fight Shakur Stevenson to win in this fight I don't think it has received enough praise in this era,” Stephen Edwards said Shaun Gitel Shakur Stevenson does not work with judges to fight Gravonta Davis about the amateur hit-and-heet style that Shakur Stevenson uses.

Shakur's fight style is of the Mayweather era, and the judges were then more interested in tolerating that kind of style. The game has been developed since Floyd and the judges focus more on power shots if they are not A-side fighters. We have seen that on February 22, Artur won by the decision of Dimitri Bibol against Betterwive. If the distinction is not popular, he will lose because Bitterwive landed a stronger shot.

Stevenson must use the style of his amateur point-scoring fighting because he can not slip enough to slug with Gravonta without scattering.

“Risk -free” plan

“I think he has to fight at risk -free fight, score point, a non -violent fight, fighting the fight and not taking any chance. Edwards continued on how to fight Tank Davis, “He just needs to score points like amateur boxing.

“Don't try and put no strength in your shots. Just touch Garvonta and get out of the fight. I think he can win, but I don't think the style of the fight has been appreciated enough for his win. Shaku is not a big punch, but he is good to bribe the body. Gravonta Davis is a Master Counter-Pancher. He is about to clip you if you get down to his body.

“I don't know if the judges will appreciate Shakur enough. He would be stupid to change his style to fight Garvonta because he could get the clip if he did it and everyone was going to laugh at him, “said Edwards.

Judges may not need to score a fight because with the bribe of the tank he will load his throw on everything. He would not respect the power of Shakur as he did Lamont because he could only create a dug energy when going to the body. Stevenson is not crazy enough to target Gravonta's body as Josh did against Padley in their fight on February 22, because he would turn back to something soon or later.
