Timothy Bradley predicted that Shakur Stevenson will get a landslide victory over William 'Camaron' Zepeda and retain his World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight title this Saturday, July 12 in New York.

On his YouTube channel, Bradley explained that for Stevenson to be successful, he needs to work hard and contain Camaron Zepeda to prevent him from hitting him.

“Shakur is going to come out of the corner with all his strength. He’s going to show us something we’ve been waiting for since the (Jamel) Herring fight (in 2021). I think we could see something like that with Shakur in this fight. I’m telling you, if his hands are healthy, it’s going to be a massacre, a landslide victory. It could be a knockout. Zepeda fights one way. He goes on the attack, and that’s it. I’ll tell you what I like about him: He’ll attack that body,” he said.

“There will be times when Shakur will have to step in, contain, and work hard, just like Farmer did. Farmer was successful in pushing Zepeda back. Shakur needs to stay close and push this man back at times. He needs the courage to say, ‘I’m going to stand up, back you up, and be skillful in front of you. You’re not going to hit me. I’m going to hit you,’” he added.

According to experts and sports insiders, Camaron Zepeda could cause problems for Shakur Stevenson with his aggressive style. The American tends to move a lot in the ring and has been criticized for his lack of action in his fights.

In fact, Turki Alalshikh has already made it clear that he will no longer support runners in the Riyadh season due to the boring fights on May 2 and 3. This puts pressure on Stevenson and he will surely have to opt for a trade with the powerful Zepeda.

After surgery on his hand, the American champion returned to action in February and knocked out Josh Padley on a card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Instead, Camaron Zepeda got a rematch against Tevin Farmer and repeated the result of the first fight. With this victory, The Mexican defended his position as the WBC mandatory challenger and will now seek to become the absolute champion against Shakur Stevenson.

Shakur Stevenson, 26, is coming off a victory over Josh Padley, who replaced the injured Floyd Schofield Jr., to defend his absolute WBC lightweight championship. The American has a record of 22 wins, 11 by knockout, and no losses.

Meanwhile, William 'Camaron' Zepeda, 28, retained his interim WBC lightweight title against Farmer again and remains undefeated in the sport. The Mexican fighter has a record of 33 wins and no losses, 27 of them by knockout.
