Teofimo Lopez says that he wants to see how the WBC Lightweight Shakur Stevenson champion submitted his blows, throwing more than one next month in defense against Tom William Zazpeda on July 12 at Queens, Fresh York.

Lopez believes that Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) will fight if he tries to defeat Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO), throwing the edges, which is a typical fighting style that he used his entire professional and amateur career. This approach will not be practical against the relentless Zepeda, which can throw over 100 blows per round.

Offens Gatling Gun Zepeda

William Zepeda’s crime is like 19th century Repeatedly, rapid, manually Gatling GunAnd he doesn’t stop throwing. Pop pop style of throwing Shakura strokes would not fit the higher level of Zepeda fire.

Stevenson’s defense was designed to avoid a head shot. It is perfect, bends or moves away to avoid hitting the head. However, Zepeda focuses on throwing the body, and this is an area that Stevenson cannot protect if he intends to follow the Teofimo Council regarding throwing combinations.

View Lopez 50/50

“Shakur [Stevenson] He knows how to box fighters in this way [William Zepeda]. I hope Shakur will cast more combinations. If not, it could be a 50/50 fight – said Teofimo Lopez RingThinking about the fight next month between the lightweight champion of WBC Shakur Stevenson and William Zepeda in Queens, Fresh York.

He asks a lot of Stevenson to stand in his pocket, to cast combinations against William Zezda, because he is not a kind of warrior who “knows how to box.” Teofimo is far with this comment.

Stevenson never fought with a high blow during his professional career. Last time he fought with a warrior with a huge volume crime, he was at the 2016 Olympic Games Robeisy Ramirez. He lost this fight because he couldn’t match the Robeisa combination. Stevenson was later crying without tears, unable to fully understand why he lost. Now we will soon see the same next month when Shakur will face Zepeda.

Shakura glass hands

Teofimo did not mention Shakur glass hands. There are no fit hands to throw a combination that Zepeda must stop by machine. Shakura’s hands are too low to fight and fall apart if he is forced to stand in his pocket and match the absurdly high performance of Zepeda.

Shakur threw combinations in his fight in February last year against the replacement opponent Josh Padley. However, he was a faint British national warrior, whose supervisor Stevenson, Eddie Hearn, dug up as a deputy at the last minute, when his original opponent, Floyd Schofield, withdrew from the fight.

Padley had no power or any offensive abilities. He was only a random guy whose Hearn chose a more hazardous option, Cuban knockout artist Jadier Herrera (17-0, 16 Kos), who would be a nightmare for Shakur. It was Hearna’s wise decision.

Shakur could lose to Jadier, and this ended his striving to fight the great money he was working on against Gervont Davis.

"Tommy Morrison’s Son ‘Died Twice’: Brother’s Battle with Cancer"

Tommy Morrison’s son Trey has revealed for the first time that he has “died twice” while putting past differences aside to support his brother Kenzie through his fight with stomach cancer.

Trey Lippe Morrison made the revelation while asking people to pray for Kenzie, one day after World Boxing News reported that the 36-year-old had been diagnosed with cancer and a GoFundMe had been set up to help with medical bills.

The two sons of former heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison have had their differences over the years, something Trey acknowledged openly before making clear that none of it matters now.

“No 2 other people have had their differences like my brother and myself. F*** our differences!” Trey said.

“My brother Kenzie Morrison is in the fight of his life. I want him here! I love him.”

Trey Morrison ‘Died Twice’

Trey asked those praying for Kenzie to believe that his brother can recover before revealing something he had never previously made public.

“I’ve never shared this, but I’ve died twice, I’m still here, it didn’t matter how tough I was, it was all HIM,” he said.

Trey did not elaborate on when or under what circumstances those incidents occurred and has previously kept his personal health private.

The older sibling suffered serious injuries in a 2023 car wreck that left his boxing career in doubtwhile Kenzie’s own fighting career was interrupted by injuries and inactivity before his cancer diagnosis.

Both followed their famous father into boxing and displayed the considerable punching power associated with the Morrison namebut neither was able to build the momentum once expected.

Now, boxing has become secondary for both brothers.

Brothers Put Differences Aside

Kenzie revealed his stomach cancer diagnosis after spending around a month dealing with stomach and back problems.

In his latest update, Kenzie provided further information about his situation and the urgency surrounding his search for specialist treatment.

“It’s not too late, but we don’t got a lot of time,” Kenzie said.

For Trey, whatever differences existed between the brothers have now been pushed aside.

“I love you Kenzie, and I’ll be with you every step and breath of the way,” he said.

Trey also emphasized his faith throughout the message and asked others to share Kenzie’s fight as widely as possible.

“I truly believe he will do HIM and heal my brother,” Trey said of his belief in God.

“Share everything about my brothers fight, get the word out there, everybody BELIEVE!”

The brothers may have taken different paths since following their famous father into boxing, but Trey’s message makes his priority clear.

He wants his brother here, and intends to be alongside him throughout the biggest fight of Kenzie’s life.

"Teofimo Lopez Targets Next Opponent After WBA Welterweight Title Victory Over Rolly Romero"

Teofimo Lopez already has his next target in mind following his victory over Rolly Romero.

Lopez claimed the WBA welterweight title with a majority decision win over Romero at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, becoming a three-division world champion in the process.

Fans have already began to speculate over who Lopez may turn his attention to next, and it didn’t take ‘The Takeover’ long to make his intentions perfectly clear.

Speaking in his post-fight press conferenceLopez revealed that he is looking to face the winner of next month’s WBC welterweight title fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn.

“September 12th you’ve got Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn. We’ll see what happens there, we’ll watch. Obviously Keith Connolly [Lopez’s manager] manages Conor Benn so if he wins it’s a great fight to take across the pond, and I’m rooting for it anyway.”

Lopez also admitted he could be interested in a battle with IBF champion Liam Paro, but explained why he wouldn’t want to take on WBO champion Devin Haney just yet.

“I’d rather wait for Devin at the end, and the only reason why is to reclaim the whole situation with undisputed, not undisputed. We’ll see what Devin does on that end, so it’ll either be Liam Paro next or the winner of Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn.”

Lopez is referring to when he campaigned at lightweight and insisted he was undisputed champion following his win over Vasiliy Lomachenko, only for Haney to be recognised as the legitimate WBC titleholder, meaning there is plenty of history between the pair.

"Shakur Stevenson Analyzes Rolly Romero After Teofimo Lopez's Victory in World Title Fight"

Teofimo Lopez defeated Rolly Romero to win the WBA welterweight title on Saturday and now Shakur Stevenson has shared his reaction.

Lopez appeared to be in control for the majority of the bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, though the scorecards had it much closer than people expected, with ‘The Takeover’ only getting the nod by majority decision after scores of 114-114, 115-113 and 116-112.

Romero did have a successful fifth round where he was able to rock Lopezbut other than that he failed to get any real foothold in the fight, as he lost his WBA crown and Lopez claimed world honours in a third division after previous reigns at 135lbs and 140lbs.

It was back in January when his time as WBO super-lightweight champion came to an end, suffering a one-sided unanimous decision defeat to the aforementioned Stevenson at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Stevenson has now posted on social media with his verdict on the win from ‘The Takeover’, praising his former rival for becoming world champion in his first bout at 147lbs.

“Yea Teofimo 3 division champ that’s 🔥”

Stevenson also paid tribute to Romero, saying he had ‘respect’ for the former champion for taking on anyone.

“Respect to Rolly a champion who will fight anybody Respect champ!!!”

Lopez now may look towards potential unification fights at 147lbs following his victory, with the winner of next month’s WBC title fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn a possible option, along with battles against WBO champion Devin Haney or IBF champion Liam Paro.
