Shakur Stevenson is not only in full control through four rounds, but nearly produced the bout's first knockdown. A left hand landed for the Newark, New Jersey native, and Lopez's glove appeared to have touched the canvas. However, referee Harvey Dock ruled that the stumble was caused by Stevenson stepping on Lopez's front foot.
Nevertheless, a masterclass performance thus far by Stevenson. Lopez catches an earful from father and head trainer Teofimo Sr., who insists "You're gonna hate yourself tomorrow," if he doesn't pick up the pace.
