    If Lopez finds himself on the front foot chasing Stevenson around, he'll end up plodding forward ponderously and losing.

    Lopez actually wins this fight fairly easy. Shakur has faced nothing close to Lopez, whereas Lopez has faced, and beaten, better competition.

    I'm picking Teo. I went off Stevenson starting from that shitter of a performance vs De Los Santos. I watched a few De Los Santos fights and that was an easy KO if Shakur was what he was hyped up to be. Wait and see De Los Santos get destroyed when he steps up. I think Teos power is going to make Shakur go into scared runner mode again.

    The undercard is set for Jan. 31 at MSG.

    Keyshawn Davis makes his 140-pound debut vs. Jamaine Ortiz.

    Shu Shu looks for his world title vs. Carlos Castro

    Carlos Adames defends his middleweight title vs. Ammo Williams

    “Big Baby” Miller returns

    Keyshawn vs Jamaine should be good....

    Based on what? It would be good if Davis beats that marica down.

    Is he gonna show up to fight or run like a bitch all night again, though ?

    Yeah I agree with Neil. I don’t see fireworks here. Ortiz is gonna be on his bike the moment he takes a good shot.

    That said, I don’t think Keyshawn is all that good. He’s more sizzle than steak.

    The Adames fight should be entertaining although I don't think the outcome is much in doubt.

    Ammo williams hasn't looked very good or even good in the fights I've seen.

    Sheeraz was much bigger and did alot better against him than vs adames

    The 2 fights weren't that far apart but there's a possibility sheeraz didn't have as much left after making 168 vs adames.

    I don't think adames will totally dominate this fight, hes no lock

    Teofimo Lopez sparring with Guillermo Rigondeaux, Shakur Stevenson, and Gervonta Davis.

    Just heard Shakur Stevenson bought 300 tickets to his own fight and giving them out to the underprivileged kids in Newark. That’s real @ShakurStevenson salute to inspiring the next generation

    I'm trying to determine which one to root for. I'm not too fond of either one, but Fimo (when he's on) is more exciting, so I've decided to pull for Lopez.

    My mind hasnt changed on the winner though. I think Shakur will outbox him.

    Shakur Stevenson: “I got hurt with a body shot. They(the crowd) and he(Valdez) don’t know that I’m really hurt. I went back to corner & I sat down, looked at my grandfather and said ‘yo, I feel like I gotta throw up’….”

    Rare for a Fighter to ADMIT Such a Thing Mid-Career, But There's Always Been a Level of SINCERITY To Shakur That REED Appreciates...Also, REED Can't Recall Even 1 Meaningful Bodyshot 'Fimo's Ever Landed...So No Worries About Shakur's GLASS Body Being Exposed in a Couple Weeks...


    REED:confused:

    It is, but the thing is when fighters talk it's really hard to take anything they say without a grain of salt. I'm not saying Shakur is embellishing. There are many fighters however who would say something similar but really the only point
    is to big up themselves on how they absorbed it and recovered.

    I suspect that Lopez is too dumb and will try to walk Shakur down rather than counter, and will end up plodding forward ponderously.

    That's exactly what i thought he would try with Lomachenko. (and probably what Loma thought too)

    Obviously we'll see. Fimo seems best when he's faces opposition that poses a threat so he doesn't walk in overconfident thinking he can just do whatever he wants. That time may have passed. (or not matter)

    This fight will be interesting but I don't expect it to be particularly exciting. I feel like whoever gets the upperhand first will have it all night.

    I think it'll be a good fight. I sure as fuck aint expecting no Leonard-Duran 1, but I dont think it'll be boring.

    Hope so. But should be good even if it's not.

    Would make for a better action fight and better performance by Stevenson

    If lopez is smart and doesnt do that he can win in an absolute stalemate stinker pose fest

    If lopez wins impressively where does that rank him amongst the best boxers on the planet ?

    Certainly he returns to the top 10. Where exactly I'm not sure.
