Stevenson’s “great” motivation

When it comes to actually saying that, he’s not going to compete with his No. 1 WBC top contenders like Andy Cruz, so he’s not trying to make the sport “great.” Therefore, Shakur uses “make boxing great again” Slogan of a Selfish When it suits him, but not when he has to take risks by fighting someone who could be ruined His career.

Shakur Qualifications for the Battle of Lopez

Kur wants to cut the corner and gives Teofimo a title shot with a silver platter without winning it. In other words, he wants handouts from Lopez. The sense of qualification from Shakur is clear. He feels he deserves to skip the line as he defeated Josh Padley, Artem Hartignan and William Zepeda.

Would you like to skip Teofimo candidates?

– Ernesto Mercado
– Gary Anchanne Russell
-Jamaine Ortiz
– Keyshawn Davis

If Shakur commits to the £140 division and enters the work so that other candidates are waiting in line, there’s no problem.

That’s an odd call considering Shakur (24-0, 11 Kos) had said recently that he didn’t feel there was a size to fight at the 140. He’s become like other fighters, chasing fabrics rather than wanting the best fight in the lightweight division.

If he beats these lightweights first, it makes sense that Shakur is going to fight a battle from Theofimo: Andy Cruz, Abdullah Mason, Floyd Scofield, Raymond Muratara, Jaidier Herrera.

Stephenson is supposed to heal his hands until November or 2026 after a tough battle with Willim Zepeda. The Mexican volume puncher was connected with 292 of 979 punches and fought well enough to deserve a decision.

Teofimo doesn’t fight “runners”

It’s a waste of time for Shakur to chase payday against Lopez. Because it doesn’t happen. Teofimo will not fight runners. He doesn’t want to take part in the fight between Tom and Jerry. However, if Shakur moves to 140 and is waiting for all the top candidates, he may be able to force a fight.

I saw you say you want to fight me @teofimolopez What will prevent that from happening next, this is not a bluff, make boxing great again
