Teofimo Lopez thinks Shakur Stevenson is “overrated,” Strengthened by fans who think he “got the goods”. Lopez (22-1, 13 KO) states that the former world champion with three Stevenson divisions was falling.

Fans agree Stevenson not the same warrior

This view of Teofimo reflects what many boxing fans said about Newark, native Shakur in Novel Jersey (24-0, 11 KO). He did not look like the same warrior because he moved to the league 135 pounds on April 8, 2023 against Shuichiro Yoshino.

Teofimo Lopez says Shakur Stevenson has overrated

It seems that Stevenson has lost something from the game since leaving the Super Feather Wweight Division. Regardless of whether it was an raise in weight or the punishment he took in a 12-round unanimous decision victory with Robson Conceicao in saying goodbye to the fight for 130 pounds on September 23, 2022, something changed with Shakur.

“The most overrated boxer now? I will say it. I think Shakur Stevenson, with which I will face. I think he is overrated. He decreases in his style, but people strengthen it as if he really got the goods,” said Teofimo Lopez for this Stories indescribable About his possible fight with Shakur Stevenson in the first quarter of 2026.

What happens if Stevenson is knocked out?

If Teo blows up Shakura from water in January 2026, his popularity will fall like a stock market in 1929. A bad loss with a knockout for Stevenson would shed airy at him, showing that there was never such naive fans, especially after 2022.

It will be intriguing if Turks Alalshikh washes Shakur Stevenson’s hands, leaving him from the future Riyadh seasonal cards after defeat. Will Turki propose Shakur, allowing him to fight with Josh Padley fighters or will he reduce his losses, treating him like a leper?

If Turki will give Shakur one more chance, he must accept the challenging love approach Offering him Set up a contract: Fight Andy Cruz or nothing. If he refuses, say goodbye to the Riyadh season forever. I would do it if I was Turks. I would like to be a fly on the wall when Turki conducts this conversation.

Stevenson’s career stayed with the tape?

There were promoters of Stevenson, the highest ranking and boxing Mechroom, did a admirable job, hiding the fall, matching it to ultra-finger, basically maintaining it together with the adhesive tape, the beating of the opposition they fed him. We saw it with Shakur tailored to these fighters since 2023:

  • Josh Padley
  • Shuichiro Yoshino
  • Arten Harutyunyan
  • Edwin de los Santos
  • William Zepeda

This is what clever promoters do when they fall. They can keep them in making matches, sometimes for years, to make sure that the luxuriousness of the warrior has not dropped. Canelo Alvarez is a great example. You have a warrior who broke up many years ago, but was supported by matches.

“I can’t wait for us to finally face this square circle and really show the world,” said Teofimo.

Adrien Broner Flight Post leaves comeback hanging in the balance

Published

on

Adrien Broner talks at the press conference for his last fight.

Adrien Broner has sparked fresh concern after he shared a late-night post from a flight showing multiple drinks as questions continue to mount over his boxing future.

The former four-division world champion posted the clip with the caption, “I’m almost close to Denzel on this,” referring to the film – a comparison that raises its own questions.

The backlash was almost immediate, with comments ranging from mockery to concern as Broner’s latest appearance came days after a tumultuous run that had already cast doubt on his latest comeback attempt.

Some questioned whether the return rumors had died down, while others took a more direct assessment of the current state of affairs. A smaller number urged Broner to peaceful down, but the overall reaction pointed in one direction: uncertainty.

Same pattern, fresh moment

Fasting is not an isolated moment. It follows a pattern in which failures are quickly followed by promises of redemption.

This comes after a messy period in which Broner was already given a “last chance” opportunity to return to the game after admitting he had returned to street life and was asking for one last chance.

Since then, events have unfolded rapidly, from a 48-hour spiral that required intervention to prevent drinking and driving, to further fallout involving those around him. Each moment reinforced the same question: had anything actually changed?

Adrien Broner under pressure

Broner continues to beg, begging for another chance. The final comeback is already approaching the next evening’s moment, when the former champion reaches the age of 37 and is running out of time to make the same promises.

It seems that Don King has become another promoter who has failed to tame “The Problem” who is intent on chasing quick money while living the same lifestyle – it’s getting tiring to repeat it.

For a fighter once on the verge of becoming a superstar, the gap between promise and reality has never been greater.

What will happen next?

There are no longer concerns about whether Broner will be able to return to the ring.

It’s a question of whether he can stay on track long enough to get back on track.

The recording speaks for itself. The reaction was sobering. The question is now elementary – is it the same cycle again?

Gilberto Ramirez leaves with two fights left

Image: Gilberto Ramirez Eyes Exit With Only Two Fights Left

“I think one or two more fights,” Ramirez told Fight Hub TV when asked about his long-term plans. “I have been practicing this sport for a long time.”

Ramirez, 33, said that while he still wants to continue his career for now, he is already thinking about how his career will end, not how long it can be extended. Ramirez said he has achieved key goals in the sport, including becoming world champion in two divisions, but still wants to perform at the highest level before he retires.

That pursuit begins with Benavidez, a fight that Ramirez believes will define his status and push his name further to the top of the sport.

“I will beat him. That’s my plan, to fight Opetaia,” said Gilberto about his desire to fight former IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia.

It’s a shoot-for-the-stars plan for Ramirez, but you can’t blame him for wanting to fight Opetaia. The biggest obstacle is not only the fight itself, but also where Jai Opetaia currently sits. Jai is now the face of Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing.

At the same time, Ramirez hinted at one last twist before his retirement. When asked about moving up again, he left the door open to a possible heavyweight fight, even admitting that he may not be the biggest fighter in the division.

“Why not?” Ramirez talked about moving up to heavyweight. “That would be amazing.”

If Zurdo loses to Benavidez, his plan for Opetaia will likely evaporate and he may just go straight to the heavyweight event for one last payday before he suspends them.

Eddie Hearn expects Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 fight to be canceled and replaced with world title fight

Eddie Hearn expects Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 to be cancelled and replaced by world title fight

The final decision may come after the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao rematch drama ends.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Mayweather and Pacquiao were set to fight professionally more than 10 years after their first meeting, with the event streaming live on Netflix and taking place on September 19 at The Sphere in Las Vegas.

In recent weeks the duel was in doubt, after Mayweather stated that the fight would instead be an exhibition, while Pacquiao continues to insist that it must be a fully sanctioned fight.

Since it is currently unknown whether this will actually come to fruition, this has probably given the clearest signal that this will no longer happen.

Conversation with FightHypepromoter Eddie Hearn said he thinks Netflix can now focus on the WBC welterweight title fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn, essentially replacing the Mayweather-Pacquiao event.

“It’s all a mess. I’m surprised Netflix got into this whole circus… Netflix is ​​modern to boxing, but they need to be a little more solid in the routine because you can’t actually call the fight and it just falls by the wayside and it just doesn’t look great.”

“NO [I don’t believe it will happen]not now. Netflix is ​​only going to do so many fights and the Benn-Garcia fight is now said to be on September 12 or whenever that happens, so obviously this is the fight to replace Mayweather-Pacquiao.

“If it happened Mayweather-Pacquiao, they are committed to that fight, but if it doesn’t happen they will want another fight and from the sound of it it will be Garcia vs. Benn.”

The world title fight between Garcia and Benn has been widely discussed this month, and if Hearn is right, it could spell the end of any hopes of Mayweather and Pacquiao fighting again.
