Shakur Stevenson is promising true carnage in the boxing ring for Teofimo Lopez but comes across as very calm and precise about it.
That level of intelligent aggression and relentless could work very well for him.
Of course Lopez will try to do the same.
It is up to him to try.
Stevenson has been holding back much already and you get the sense he is ready to deliver one hell of a beating on Saturday night by this:
Stevenson despite the fighter moving up looking to become a four-weight champion and might be giving away some natural strength, isn’t worried at all.
Professional boxing is about skills and ability on the big occasion which these two fighters have been in many times now.
Neither are green at the highest level of world championship boxing anymore.
Lopez’ trainer and father was a noticeable absentee however from the final press conference.
