I can't see Shakur knocking Teo out, but I can see him winning a comfortable decision. That is unless he lands so many clean shots that Teo's face is a bust mess and either the ref or corner stop it. That is also something I can't envision happening. That would have to mean Teo is so far behind in levels that he's unable to avoid Shakur's hands often enough to accumulate that kind of damage. I can't see that happening.
The problem with Taylor in his last fights wasn't his legs, it was his hunger and conditioning. Silk PJs syndrome... Also, let us not forget that victories over a few top name opponents (Prograis, Ramirez, Baranchyk) that were overhyped made him look better than he actually was. Catteral exposed him first and Teo finished the job.
Shakur will be patient, walk him into shots and pick him apart all night. TeoFEMALE Lopez has a relatively low boxing IQ. Like Canelo, he runs out of ideas after 5-6 rounds.
