Shakur Stevenson Easily Defeats Alberto Guevara; Calls Out Warrington…Again!
Newark, N.J. (July 13, 2019) — Ever since he turned pro following the 2016 Olympics, featherweight contender Shakur Stevenson wanted to return home to Newark. In front of 5,150 fans at Prudential Center, Stevenson, the WBO No. 1 contender, knocked out two-time world title challenger Alberto “Metro” Guevara (27-5, 12 KOs) in the third round of a scheduled 10-rounder.
“That was a great performance I put on for the city of Newark. Top Rank, y’all all have to give me better competition I want the IBF and WBO {titles}.
“I would love to go to England to fight Josh Warrington.
“I surprised myself today. I was going to the body a lot. I saw him at the weigh-in. He didn’t look like he was in shape.
“There is only one way to describe tonight – amazing! Seeing all of my family, friends and everybody from the city come out to support me was incredible.”
Stevenson (12-0, 7 KOs) dominated the opening round, scored a pair of knockdowns in the second and finished things off with a knockdown in the third.
It was a short, brutal and just what the crowd wanted.
