Comments Thread For: Head of the class: Shakur Stevenson routs Teofimo Lopez Jnr

No matter who the trainer is. They will not beat Shakur because he never engages. Eddie Reynoso couldn't beat him with Valdez.

Teo would do well with a second ear in his corner. His father alone may be great for fight strategy and camp training, but Teo needs a good cornerman to give him clear and solid instruction as well as motivation.

His father did crack the Loma code with the rear uppercut and helped his son become an Olympian and multi-division champion.

Was anyone excited during the "match"? If that is the NEW boxing Era it's Screw.

I'm thinking they blocked all the Teo fans from buying tickets and they weren't there to cheer on the voluminous body punching in the 2nd half of the fight. That's what was missing. If they were there, there would have been excitement.

Concecaio already showed the blueprint on how to beat Valdez. Shakur was a lot bigger than him too on fight night.

They need Josh Kelly's fans.

Signing out. Great fights and a lot of title changes for one day.

Shakur barely broke a sweat, too good, IQ off the charts

I saw last 3 1/2 rounds. Teo had nothing for him. That was impressive. I thought he lost maybe 2 fights ago to that mover and he did not learn anything against a shakur that was flowing. I liked seeing that side of him

Perhaps you misunderstood me. I agree, Teofimo can't beat Shakur. I'm saying if Teofimo is going to go forward with his career, he may want to replace his dad - he's never going to face Shakur again. He made no case for the public to see a rematch.

And if you are suggesting that Shakur didn't engage, you're a straight hater.

Teo had moments of success but then he would immediately eat a jab. Teo didn't really make many adjustments or anything when he was starting to lose. His Dad gave him a good talking to but didn't really give him directions to win the fight. For the people claiming Teo was winning based off of body shots then go look at the punch stats. Just because Stevenson is punching so fast you can't even see it doesn't mean he isn't landing punches. Stevenson landed 287 punches out of 701 41% while Teo landed 214 out of 742 29%. You're being generous if you gave Teo 3 rounds in that fight.

Impressive. No excessive clinching or running. Wish Tank could still fight.
