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.

Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown

"Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown"

Solomon Dacres expects to stop Bakhodir Jalolov tonight, but his record offers little support for that prediction against the 6’7″ two-time Olympic gold medalist.

Jalolov has looked sluggish enough lately to give critics room for skepticism. The dominant puncher seen in the amateur ranks rarely appears in his prize ring outings, prompting a few observers to sniff an upset. Regardless, Jalolov looking flat does not suddenly transform Dacres into a top threat.

“Got to get him out of there, man,” Dacres told SecondsOut. “Mid to late rounds.”

That would be a considerable leap for a fighter whose most revealing professional result remains his first-round stoppage defeat to David Adeleye in December 2024.

Dacres describes that loss as a “blip,” but it came against the most notable opponent he had faced. Across five years as a professional, he hasn’t built a record of beating contenders that would make a Jalolov knockout seem likely.

His points win against Vladyslav Sirenko also requires context. Sirenko amassed numbers without testing himself against true threats, meaning that victory hardly proves Dacres can deal with Jalolov’s height, reach, and southpaw boxing skills.

“This fight here is beyond English title level, man,” Dacres said. “This is like world level.”

Jalolov deserves criticism for how slowly his professional career has moved and for performances that haven’t matched expectations. His Olympic medals don’t excuse that, and Dacres has an opportunity to make him work.

Expecting Dacres to win because Jalolov underwhelms ignores his own modest punch output. Managing just three stoppages across ten victories, he lacks the firepower to back up big talk.

For Dacres to land the kinds of sustained combinations required to stop someone Jalolov’s size, he has to pin him down. Jalolov does not fight like a traditional, stationary heavyweight slugger. Even when he looks uninspired, he uses lateral footwork, maintains long range with his southpaw lead hand, and angles off before opponents can set their feet.

Dacres lacks both the foot speed to cut off the ring effectively and the explosive one-punch power to make Jalolov cautious. If Dacres tries to force the issue, he’ll put himself at risk of getting caught. Pressing aggressively against a 6’7″ southpaw who excels at firing straight left hands down the pipe is asking for trouble.

Unless Jalolov completely checks out mentally and stands against the ropes to trade, Dacres will be eating long jabs and counters all night, with a Jalolov stoppage being the far more probable outcome.
