The time has come. Shakur Stevenson is about to lose his 0.

Drained? Teo looks great right now. If anything Stevenson looks a little chubby. He's wasn't ripped at 135 like he was at 126 and 130. We might even see some flab at 140 against Teo.

I get the point and I have no excuse for the **** performance from either of them, it was one of the worst 'fights' if you can even call it that, that I have ever had the misfortune of watching.

Like I said I need to check both out in actual detail rather than as a fan if you will. I do not think Shakur is as great or dare I say talented as some people do but when I think of Teo vs southpaws and pure-boxers I think of him getting outboxed by Kamboses, by the Spaniard whose name escapes me - granted he's very underrated and probably gives Shakur a tough fight also. I felt the fight with Ortiz was razor thin.
That's 3 pure-boxers he's fought, he could be 0-3 vs them.

As horrendous as that fight with DLS was I could easily see this playing out similar. I remember Teo being massively frustrated vs Ortiz and the Spaniard and he ran into multiple check-hooks and got dropped by a total non-puncher. He's very hot headed when someone won't engage and makes him do the chasing and lead.
Teo is extremely athletic and explosive and like virtually every other super fast-twitch, athletic fighter he isn't the most fundamentally sound so he without those fundamentals he's always going to struggle massively vs pure-boxers who have the basics, the fundamentals down.

I think Teo is bigger, stronger, a better athlete, better balance, hits harder, maybe even has better reaction timing but I just think it comes to styles and Shakur being more polished and the better technical boxer. As boring as he is, his composure. I think that simply neutralises the advantages of Teo.

Starting to get really stoked for this fight. If Stevenson moves up another division and beats lineal champ Lopez it'd be a tremendous accomplishment. If Teo wins, he finally gets his just due.

I am from NJ so I’m going with Shakur to give Teo a boxing lesson.

Just hope it’s a good fight.

I’m hyped for this fight too and it’s definitely one of those “anything can happen” matchups. Stevenson’s skills are crazy sharp, but Lopez has power and confidence. It could be a real shake‑up like you said. I wouldn’t totally count either guy out yet.
Also, for anyone planning to watch it live, I had to sort out my streaming setup and ended up looking up the fubotv phone number to check if the fight was included in my package and what channels it’s on. They were pretty helpful getting me squared away so I wouldn’t miss any of the action.
Should be a wild night no matter how it goes!
