McGIRT warns Shakur Stevenson: Potshots will not overcome Teofimo
Published
9 months agoon
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.

Jose Benavidez Sr. publicly invited Artur Beterbiev and his team to enter into negotiations to fight David Benavidez.
The comments came after Beterbiev recently discussed previous talks involving both camps. Benavidez Sr., who is David’s father, trainer and manager, said he is ready for the fight to continue.
“Right now, if Beterbiev is watching, their managers are watching, or whoever is making this decision, I am David’s father, coach, manager. Let’s sit down. Let’s make these fights happen. These are the fights we want to make,” Benavidez Sr. he told Fight Hub TV.
“We never got an offer. Like I’m telling you, we never got an offer. But these are the fights we want. With all due respect, I think Beterbiev is a great fighter, man. He’s a very threatening fighter. He’s one of the best right now. He and Bivol are some of the top fighters, but these are the fighters we want to prove ourselves and want to fight.”
Benavidez Sr. added that organizing the fight shouldn’t be a major problem if both sides are interested.
“Let’s organize this fight. It can be fought in five minutes,” said Jose Senior. “These are the fights we want. We are ready to give the people what they want.”
David Benavidez became a three-division world champion earlier this year when he defeated Zurdo Ramirez in the cruiserweight division. Since then, Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol are often mentioned among the potential opponents of Benavidez’s next fight.
“Let’s go,” Benavidez Sr. said. “We are ready. These are the fights we want.”

Muhammad Ali recognized one boxer as the true greatest boxer of all time: “I still say he was the best”

Many boxing fans consider Muhammad Ali the greatest of all time, but he once revealed his own choice.
Ali’s notable achievements include winning the world heavyweight title three times while talking about the greatest fights in history, including “Rumble In The Jungle” against George Foreman and “Thrilla In Manila” against Joe Frazier.
His final record was 56 wins in 61 fights, also defeating the likes of Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, Earnie Shavers and Ken Norton, and also became a cultural icon outside the ring.
These achievements are why many fans consider Ali to be the greatest of all time, but in a renewed interviewthe heavyweight legend once revealed that he chose Sugar Ray Robinson for the honor.
“This man was attractive. The timing, the speed, the reflexes, the rhythm, his body, everything was attractive.
“I’d say I’m the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the best of all time.”
Robinson reigned as the world welterweight champion for five years, from 1946 to 1951, and went on an incredible 91-fight unbeaten streak.
His record at one stage was 129 wins from 132 fights, 85 of which were knockout victories. After reigning at welterweight, he moved up to middleweight, where he became a five-time world champion in that category.
When he finally hung up his gloves in 1965, he finished his career with a record of 174 wins in 201 fights, and it’s clear why Ali considers him the best.

Tim Bradley explains why Lamont Roach can beat William Zepeda

Bradley says Roach’s experience against pressure players and southpaws will give him an advantage on August 1
Tim Bradley thinks Lamont Roach Jr. he is the player best placed to make William Zepeda lose. In a speech on his YouTube channel, Bradley selected Roach as the winner of the vacant WBC lightweight title on August 1 and cited the fight’s stylistic advantages as a key factor.
“I’m picking Roach to win this fight,” Bradley said on his channel. “I think it’s a perfect match in style. I think Roach fights southpaws better than orthodox fighters.”
Roach comes into the fight coming off a draw with Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz and a contentious draw with Gervonta Davis, as well as two physically demanding fights against high-pressure fighters that Bradley says has prepared him for Zepeda’s relentless approach.
“I think he fought one of the best southpaws in the world in Tank Davis. And he did damn well against him,” Bradley said. “He wasn’t scared by the force of the impact.”
Bradley believes Roach has the tools needed to neutralize Zepeda’s pressure.
“When guys who like to get forward and be aggressive, nine times out of 10 they don’t like being tackled,” Bradley said. “Roach has the ability to do it. He has the knowledge and the IQ to be able to do it. And if he does it, he will win this fight.”
Bradley also cautioned that Roach cannot afford to leave matters in the judges’ hands, arguing that he needs to create more separation than in recent draws with Isaac Cruz and Gervonta Davis.
