Things got very heated at the final press conference and Shakur Stevenson walked up on Lopez and had to be restrained by security here.
Lopez for his part didn’t even square up with him.
Stevenson clearly has Lopez rattled who resorted to depraved profanities at points.
A man who talks about Muhammad Ali quotation books in one sentence and talks the opposite of how the great Ali would talk at press conferences.
Ali always did everything with wit, wisdom and left his killer mentality to the fight — Lopez came off terrible here:
What do you think Muhammad Ali would think about that Lopez?
Lopez is garbage. Good fighter and his father a class act but just junk, rubbish in recent times. Garbage. Waster.
He has been in decline but will have a size and weight advantage over Stevenson who is looking to move up to become a four-weight world champion.
Obviously the above will get some attention on Lopez and build the fight but look it counts for nothing obviously when the first bell goes.
Lopez is stepping in there with a boxing genius at the weekend who is well seasoned despite his young age at this point.
Roll on the fight.
