After facing criticism for several recent fights in which he was seen as fighting a boring style, including drawing boos and walkouts from live crowds, Shakur Stevenson entered Saturday's WBC lightweight title fight promising to bring the fight to William Zepeda.

Shakur Stevenson picked up one of the biggest wins of his career on Saturday night, earning a unanimous decision win over William Zepeda at Louis Armstrong Stadium in New York.

Shakur Stevenson (24-0, 11 KOs) promised to hold his ground and deliver an exciting performance. The only thing he wasn't able to do against William Zepeda (33-1, 27 KOs) was score a knockout, but the WBC lightweight champion put together a boxing clinic to retain his title with a unanimous decision at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens.
