It seems quite evident to the fans the Light WBC champion, Stevenson (23-0, 11 kos), does it to dodge his mandatory number 1, Andy Cruzthat breathes him by the neck and the tie artist #10 Herrera Cores.
Both Cuban talents want a title shot against Shakur in 135, but tries to run in the £ 140 division to fight the Wbo Light Welterweight Theophimo Lopez champion. What does Stevenson’s native of Newark say, New Jersey? It seems to me that Shakur does not like the heat that these ancient Cuban amateur talents are put on and seeks to flee.
“How do you fight me, Teo? X.
Physical mismatch
Theophimo is too big and powerful for Shakur Stevenson. We just saw fight against electricity Josh Padley Last month, without power and barely, she can remove the part -time boxer in the ninth round on February 22.
Shakur’s opposition has been embarrassing since his fight against Edwin de los Santos in 2023. In the previous struggle of Stevenson before Padley, he fought against the non -punch Artem Harutyunyan, a fighter who lost to Frank Martin and a one -year dismissal.
Physically, Shakur is not built to fight boys such as Teophimo Lopez or anyone with decent power at 140. If you put him with Teo, Gary Antuanne Russell or Richardson Hitchins will end badly for him.
Matchs room promoter Eddie Hearn’s dreams From the configuration of a mega-lluita with Gervonta Davis would have disappeared. It would have no choice but to pour to Shakur because he will not sign him again for expensive Anthony Joshua-Esque four struggles. This will not work anyway because boxing The audience is not a complete fool.
If Shakur goes to 140, their problems are resolved. It does not have to worry about Cruz and Herrera because the first 15 rankings of the WBO at 140 are weak when Superes Teophimo and Arnold Barboza Jr.
