Victory with a devastated account. Shakur Stevenson overcame seped in New York

On the night of July 13, a major boxing evening was organized in American New York, organized by The Ring magazine and an influential Turkey Al-Sheikh functionary.

WBC Lightweight WBC Champion (up to 61.2 kg) Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) from the US met with the owner of the temporary title William Seped (33–0, 27 KO).

In the first half of the battle, he looked more efficient and looked more effectively with a seped – he was betting on the number of blows, constantly pressing the favorite and cramming to the ropes. Attacks on the corps from the Mexican constantly worried the favorite.

Stevenson gradually took the initiative – he moved well on his feet, improved work in defense and involved a combination box. Due to the fatigue of the seped, he reduced the speed and missed much more than in the first rounds.

A rather competitive battle went through the distance and ended with the victory of Shakura Stevenson. Despite the solid box from the seped, the judges saw the defeat victory of the American.

Shakur Stevenson (USA) – William Sepeda (Mexico) – UD 12 (118-110, 118-110, 119–109)
