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

Teo had no plan B and the idiots in his corner didn't give him any good advice, not that it would have mattered. They couldn't even deal with his cut.

Only way to beat Shakur is to Joe Frazier your way inside and bully him. You have to avoid the jab by moving side to side on the way in. Teo tried to out box a superior boxer.....who the hell told him that plan would work?

Only Devin can beat him, probably has a longer jab. Shakur will step back all night if anyone gets a cm closer to him or pot shot them on the way in.

The quote was "very rare does a Latin beat a black..."

Ol boy pointed out Stevenson's dad is Borikua. No where in there did he say anything about PR's being a race. But if you ask any of them, it dont matter what color they are, they are Borikua. Maybe your level of comprehension isnt as high as you thought, kid.

Latin is not a race either. I guess you still don't realize there are black Latino's. So you're statement makes absolutely no sense. Brush up on your comprehension skills because that does absolutely nothing to refute what I said.

The usual cadre of casual fans worship this sort of performance. Jab, jab, jab, run, hold, jab, jab and call it defensive genius while usually entering the ring a full weight class or two bigger. It’s always predictable to see which fans will pretend this is entertaining. Let’s not forget these same fans were calling Teo trash before he agreed to fight Shakur. Suddenly it’s a great win. Which is it, was he trash or a great fighter? Floyd and his fans did this all the time.

I think Shakur beats Devin. That would prove to be a high interest fight, maybe (probably) not an entertaining fight, but definitely a high interest fight.

I didn't see any running or holding. Shakur stood right in front of Teo, parried every jab, or stepped JUST out of range. Teo was ineffective and couldn't touch him.

Prio to the Zepeda fight, Shakur was TERRIBLE to watch. These last two fights he's stood right in front of his opponents and beat them. Easily

Best in the world!

Yeah that was a masterclass. He beat the hell outta 2 time lineal champ Teo. He's up there with the top 3 P4P in the world imo.

Shakur Stevenson made it look easy Saturday night, dominating Teofimo Lopez Jnr over 12 rounds at New York City?s Madison Square Garden to win a junior welterweight title.

That goes without saying. Congratulations to Shakur Stevenson. He definitely proved that he is the cream of the crop.

Oh if only had he put the cherry on the top like Keyshawn and Shu Shu did by turning it up. I believe had Shakur did. He would have gotten Lopez out of there.

Teo wanted to give up. He looked like a broken and confused fighter who was looking for a reason to tap out but Stevenson didn’t give him one. He was just too cautious.

In any case, great performance by Shakur as he once again proved that he is still the best of the rest.

Where did I ever say latin is a race? Lolol
You ASSUming makes you the ass & does EVERYTHING to not help your rant. Ever been to PR? They dont gaf about color. Why you so hung up on it? Matter of fact any Boricua will tell you "todos somos mezcla ", meaning we are all mixed.
Relax, kid.

Ouch! Lots of pain and lots of tears in here. It's like the morning of September 14, 2025 all over again.

You let me know how do you beat a person who only jabs and steps back all night? Are you literaly going to run after him? If you go forward he catches you with the jab or he steps back, rince and repeat for 12 rounds.

He stood in the pocket. If you can't hit him while he's in your face, that says more about you than him. There was no "running" last night. That's the narrative used when a certain race of fighter whoops a certain other race of fighter. Go watch Whitaker vs. Chavez and tell me if there was any running.
