Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson is set for January 31st

Let's check Teo's record against featherfisted movers....

Oh no

 

I'm looking forward to this fight, despite Stevenson's reluctance to mix it up. Teo will come forward, which will force Stevenson to be more active offensively. I think Stevenson is the more talented fighter, more elusive defensively. But Teo has an outside chance at a decision. If Stevenson is running too much, the judges may tilt it towards Lopez.

 

Adames vs Ammo is a good match.

 

Teo is as good a counter puncher as Shakur, the issue is he’s less patient and more emotional.

If he can remain disciplined and patient like he has in his best performances, he can win this.

 

I think this fight will show us if Teo fights to his level or if boxers who move are his kryptonite. Something tells me it’s more the latter, which is why I’m surprised he took the fight. Josh Taylor is only effective going forward and Loma is much better fighting on the front foot with his short reach although he can fight on his back foot too.

 

I tend to agree. I mean, would Jamaine Ortiz not be a fight he should have “got up for” after giving Loma a fit not long before?

Hoping I’m wrong though, I like Teos boxing style.

 

Two extremely arrogant and very gifted fighters close to facing off this Saturday. Their egos is through the roof yet they also acknowledge what each of them bring to the table come fight night. Very hyped to see how this plays out.

Shakur by wide unanimous decision, as usual...

 

Teo got this because he knows how to take a half step back

 

Which Teofimo will show up? The one who fought Kambosos or Lomachenko?

That's the X factor.

 

Feeling hyped for this, feels like it’s been a minute since the last genuine superfight.

 

Teo is $3.45 with Sportsbet I think I will have a punt on that.

 

The egos are huge on these delusional clowns the loser is going to have a very hard time coping.

 

Definitely agree with this, but Shakur moreso than Teo I think, we've seen Lopez humbled by Martin and Kambosos (to some degree, although he did make excuses for that) - Stevenson thinks he's above Inoue P4P and called Sugar Ray Robinson a bum, his delusion is on another level, which is saying something given how egotistical Lopez is.
