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.
