Teofimo admitting that he doesn't want to cut off the ring.

Teofimo has brick feet. Almost as bad as Broner

Teofimo admitting that he doesn't want to cut off the ring.

So the assumption is Shakie needs ample space to be able to run, and he's objecting to a 18 x 18 ring? Is that the story?

We have no clue whether Shakur has accepted or declined Teo's (rumored) demand. Do I think a smaller ring will have a major impact on the fight's outcome? No.

If Teo turned down a $11 million purse to fight with Devin Haney. Then why would we hold our breath for a Lopez/Stevenson showdown? Teofimo would never take the fight. Especially if he is making less than Stevenson. I promise you that.
