Awaiting in a ghost: Stevenson’s public supplication in Teofimo Lopez a x

Shakur Stevenson continues to stubbornly hope that Teofimo Lopez will be interested in fighting him. Stevenson (24-0, 11 kos) says he will fight against Lamont Roach if Teophimo (22-1, 13 kos) “does not accept the struggle ” With him.

A hopeless hope

Stevenson waits and hopes that López will give the struggle he has requested. It is clear to the fans and for this writer who does not happen. López has no interest in fighting Shakur.

I’ve seen it a million times. When someone is not interested, they give you the silent treatment, as theophimo does with Shakur. Teo should not have led Stevenson first, giving it a false hope saying X: “After doing -Shakur Stevenson and make him cry like Lil B **** he is … I’m calling Ryan Garcia.”

Lamont was preparing for resale, so he went to have a struggle between the fight and then fight against me at the top of the year … but it is only if Teo does not accept the fight https://t.co/yqr0eitwco

Only that small line of conversation from Teopimo’s garbage was enough to put Shakur all anxious, making him believe that he was interested in fighting. Shakur took those words in his heart, twisting them in his mind to think that it means “there is a real opportunity.” She is quite fun, but she is revealing about Stevenson at the same time. It shows the despair that has become this day of payment against López.

The silent treatment

Theophimo’s silence is a clear signal: “I’m not interested.” I don’t know why Shakur can’t see the truth.

Initially, López could have been interested in fighting Shakur, but after seeing the judges managed William Zepeda, it had to be a call. No matter how many strokes are theophimo to land; He is not deciding on a decision against Shakur.

The notice of Zepeda

Zepeda buried Shakur with his strong volume in his fight on July 12 in Queens, surpassing him in all rounds of the fight. When finished, Zepeda lost due to a wide unanimous decision of 12 rounds for these scores: 118-110, 118-110 and 119-109. These scores seemed to belong to a completely different struggle. I was on the side of the side and scored each round by Zepeda. It was a total mismatch. Shakur looked like a human peak, making shots without stopping along the ropes for 12 rounds.

If Zepeda (32-1) could not make a decision despite the fact that Shakur, Teophimo, would have no chance of winning, except for Knockout; Therefore, the silent treatment of him. Can Teo be blamed?

The problem with Shakur using Lamont Roach as Plan B is that it is not a big enough struggle to interest boxing fans, which means that it will not attract Turki Alralkh’s interest in paying Gazillions. It is a type of struggle Jerry vs. Jerry. That is a cup of poison For the fans and they will not want anything to do.

The fights that will interest fans and will get Turki to expand are Shakur fighting these boys:

1. Andy Cruz
2. Ernesto Mercado
3. Gary Antuanne Russell
4. Herrera Cores
5. Abdullah Mason
6. Floyd Schofield
