careful u will have bread on your case, u should make an equivalent comment about bivol and should be in the clear

Not to say he isn't very talented but there is no suspense when he fight anyone of quality, if he is looking good, clearly winning the first 3 rds you just know its going to be a repeat until the final bell.

Shakur is such an eye sore to watch, I really hope Teo can win this so he doesn't have to be featured anymore.

An “eye sore” for you NOT for boxing purists. Maidana must be a must see fighter for you because of his brawls?

He is not that skilled from what i have seen, talented yes fast hands, feet, good reflexes its not the same as skill. Its like someone took Zab Judah and powered him down significantly.

Teo isn't exactly lighting up the world with his own performances. Let's see if he decides to take offensive risks since Shakur doesn't have a power or reach advantage. He beat Barboza primarily due to the gap in athleticism, but that probably won't be the case vs. Shakur.

Agree, that is what happened in the Barboza fight, not the best performance since McComb really won the fight with Barboza clearly maybe even a shut out and got jobbed so he never should have been in there with Teo yet Teo didn't impress. Teo will have to take the initiative here or it'll likely be a 12 rd snoozer probably Shakur winning in that case.

Rooting for Teo as I have followed him since he was like 8 fights into his career. Loved his daring to be great attitude. His braggadocios call out then beating the king Loma. His win over Taylor cemented his class. I believe he fights to his comp level. His fast twitch fibres, counters and power should hopefully be enough to defeat an accomplished fighter like Shakur who is truly an incredible fighter. Prayers that both men put on a classic and come out healthy and incredibly wealthier

Teo is more athletic and Shakur is smarter. I think what everyone else is saying is that Shakur will win by UD. Teo was really impressive against Barboza but Stevenson is much more coordinated and balance than him. Teo will probably rattle him early on with his explosiveness but once shakur figures out his timing then he'll catch him coming in. But I do hope Teo wins because he's a good person generally speaking.

It doesn’t matter. He’s still ain’t defeating Shakur Stevenson though. That much I can promise you. Teo is so overrated. He hasn’t done Jack since defeating Loma; A man 10 years his senior. Beating up old men is hardly my definition of a P4P fighter.

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

Why am I not excited for this when I feel like I should be?

Shakur fights are like watching Paint Dry. He is not exciting. He doesn't go for the kill. He still has the amateur mindset of outpointing and not of BEATING the opponent.
