Shakur Stevenson has impressed us as he has done everyone in boxing in recent times as he goes up Lopez appears to be on the decline.
There is a definite pattern of Teofimo Lopez being on the decline in recent times.
As Shakur Stevenson goes upwards and onwards at the same time.
That said, Lopez has some weight advantage.
Weight doesn’t win fights however.
Speaking at the final presser Stevenson at one point said:
“No, it ain’t nothing personal. It’s all business. When it gets personal is when people get emotional.”
Quite smart and on point there.
Reality check for Teofimo Lopez who was the one who started using profane language.
Stevenson for his case just a professional, cold dose of reality for him.
A quality fighter and improving all the time in all aspects of warfare.
Shakur Stevenson is also promising some real controlled aggression ahead of the fight.
This will be chess early days though.
Don’t get it twisted.
Expect this to be a chess battle and a match up of sweet science boxing.
Who is the better boxer will prevail.
