Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson will be at Madison Square Garden

[champion4ever]

Who has Shakur beaten, absolutely nobody. See how Navarette stop Valdez.

Well as far as Teofimo Lopez is concerned; Why doesn’t this sucka ever fight bruthas?

All off his signature wins and only loss have all come against older white fighters; Euros and Aussies to be exact.

Likewise, his only loss of his professional career has come against a white fighter. Who was also an older fighter.

Richard Commey was a Ghanaian boxer. He wasn’t a black American. So he doesn’t count.

However, still he was an older fighter too. Name me just one elite black American fighter that “Gordo”has fought in his professional career; Just one. You can’t because there aren’t any?

So, I don’t buy this narrative that Lopez always rises to the occasion when he is overmatched or expected to underperform. The guy is and has always been overrated.

Therefore, he doesn’t stand a chance of defeating Shakur Stevenson because he would be the first elite brutha of the bunch he has ever fought since turning pro.

teo bailed on a turki backed haney fight for whatever reasons he only knows, some crap about selling his soul or weird stuff like that, he didnt fancy it anyway but hes onboard for shakur in another turki backed fight so it was nothing to do with turki his bailing on the haney fight, he just sees himself doing better v shakur than haney seems to me anyway

Ridiculous comment. Both are world champions, with one of them on the P4P list. That’s a main event now or 10 years ago.

None of them ever got a significant win ever and one flunked badly at 135 when the weight cut failed badly. Got a gifted and ducked the rematch. This is a fight rooted in fanboyism.

Teofimo beat Lomachenko fair and square. Shakur Stevenson beat William Zepeda who was highly ranked by multiple sanctioning bodies at the same time.

Kambosos beat him already up so that he ended up in the hospital never rematched any of that (or any rematch for that matter against whoever) so it is hard to take these fights serious at world level.
