Cuban Herrera cores It is a new choice as a replacement opponent for the lightweight WBC Shakur Stevenson champion to fight this Saturday, February 22, in Riyadh. Stevenson’s administration needs a substitute after its original opponent, Floyd Schofield, made a disease. Jadier Herrera, 22, has the talent to beat Shakur and leave him in dirt. I would be overwhelmed if Stevenson’s supporter, Eddie Hearn, used Herrera as a replacement.

The prospects
Ariel Helwani References That #14 WBC ranked light candidate Jadier Herrera and Josh Padley are the two options considered for Shakur’s match for Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2 Card at Kingdom Arena. Padley (15-0, 4 kos) is not as talented as Southpaw Herrera, but they are British and comes from a big victory over Mark Chamberlain.
Herrera is a better fighter than Schofield, and is much more dangerous because of its power, technical skills and southpawwy attitude. If Shakur’s supporter, Eddie Hearn, may not matter to him that he may be hit by Jadier Herrera, this is a great replacement option and a great upgrade through Floyd Schofield. The Cuban has a secret power in his left hand. The way it releases reminds me of the Super Middleweight Osley Iglesias. If Herrera hits Shakur with what she left, they will get him out of the canvas with a spatula.
Shakur will have a built -in excuse if he loses Jadier Herrera. He may blame it to take the race in a three -day warning and not prepare for a southpaw with a force with a grocery store.
Hearn has 2020 Olympic gold medal Andy Cruz, which he could also use as a replacement. Cruz is just as talented as Shakur but with more power and a more fun style. He is another who would have an excellent opportunity to beat Shakur. He ranks whether Hearn believes in Shakur enough to allow him to fight Jadier or Andy Cruz, because they would both have a good chance of hitting him.
“I understand I want to keep shakur on the card, but I don’t know anyone who can come in three -day warning and be in shape,” Ade Oladipo told Ariel Helwani’s YouTube Channel, talking about Shakur Stevenson who needed a replacement opponent after Floyd Schofield took out.
“Three days to fight Shakur Stevenson, who is in shape, is going to be a crazy mismatch. I love Josh Padley. I hope he gets the chance. He came in and upset Mark Chamberlain at (September 21) Wembley (Stadium) But what weight is he walking now?
“Josh Padley is light. These guys normally walk at 170 and cut this weight. I don’t know where he is at the moment. ”
