McGIRT warns Shakur Stevenson: Potshots will not overcome Teofimo

Buddha coach McGiRT claims that Shakur Stevenson cannot rely on his ordinary style of fighting Potshot when he goes against Teofimo Lopez in their planned match at the beginning of 2026.

Why the volume impact is necessary

Teofimo (22-1, 13 KO) is also a Potshot warrior, but he is a bigger blow. There are also no frail hands, such as Newark, Native Shakur in Newark (24-0, 11 KO). If their fight includes the tactical battle of Potshot, Lopez will be victorious because Stevenson’s weaker shots will not impress judges.

McGIRT says that for Shakur to submit WBO Lithe Wytreight, Teofimo, he will have to focus on the volume hit.

The basic problem is that Stevenson never had high performance as an amateur or professional. He comes from the form of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Potshot and it may not be possible for Shakur to change his style to 28 after so many years of using this approach.

“Shakur has to quit more blows and control the pace of the fight. He can’t just rely on streams and expect you to win every round with someone like Teofimo,” said coach Buddy McGiRT To Millcity boxing About Shakur Stevenson, who must augment his result to defeat Teofimo Lopez in 2026.

Can Stevenson change its DNA?

Throwing with one shot at once Now in Stevenson’s DNA. If Shakur tries to leave this style against the much more powerful Teofimo, he could be knocked out. She would break Stevenson as a warrior to change what is in his mental code.

We saw what happened to Shakur when he stood and fought with William Zezda in their fight on July 12, 2025 at Queens, Recent York. Zepeda made it on the ropes, landing countless shots.

What was compelling in this fight, in addition to the strange scoring in favor of Shakur, which did not match the real competition, was how Zepeda seemed to drop him in the third round. The judge not only did not consider this to be knocking down, but the judges gave Shakur a round. Zepeda worked Stevenson throughout the round, asking him with a machine gun shots, just to shoot a round at him

“If Shakur wants to show that he is the best must augment the volume, Close these forceful rounds. He has skills, but he must let his hands go more to do it undeniable, “McGiRT said.

Nation Vegas “Take: Shakur’s Potshot Habit buried him

Shakur is physically and mentally unable to augment volume without cleaning by Teofimo and left in the ground. Suicide would be suicide to operate Stevenson volume against Teo. This style is a blind alley for Shakur, and they would collect his broken pieces if he tried to operate it.

If the Buddha were in his corner, ordering him to accuse him of the earth to confront Lopez in the open area, he would be torn by the powerful Brooklyn in Recent York. Stevenson showed against Zepeda that he has no chin to take a difficult head shot when he is not thrown, hiding his head like an ostrich.

Shakur is lucky that McGiRT is not his trainer, because he knocked him out if he forced him to attack, using volume against Lopez. The only way Stevenson can fight with Teo is to operate the same running approach, which he used to win a dubious 12-round unanimous decision against Edwin de Los Santos on November 16, 2023.

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.
