I’ve actually come to really like Stevenson. His box IQ is off the charts and it’s pretty cool hearing past opponents fawn over his skills. He’s a bit of a brash kid but seems to be a good one. Looking forward to seeing him box Lopez’s ears off.
I still find Shakur boring as a fart. The only reason I will watch this fight is the hope that Lopez can show up at his best and that his crisp punching can win this fight before we all fall asleep watching Shakur keep stepping back all night long. I know the odds of that happening are pretty slim and that most likely Shakur will win a boring points decision but I live in hope. This fight goes the distance as neither has the power at this weight to knock each other out.
