Theophimo Lopez published an old Sparring clip, showing a slower mailbox with Shakur Stevenson’s appearance. You can see the difference in power and timely accuracy between the slower Theophimo and Shakur. If the clip is indicative of how a struggle would occur between them, it would be a mismatch in favor of López.
The two fighters have gone to social media since last Friday, when Shakur (24-0, 11 kos) called him, saying: “I saw you say you didn’t fight me against me, Teophimo Lopez. What does it prevents from happening after? This is no blow. We make the boxing again very large, “Lil Teo”.
López later seemed to accept a fight against Stevenson, saying, “OK.” It still has to see if he was serious. Although, negotiating the struggle would require a lot of work. Turki Alshikh should involve Teophimo (22-1, 13 KO) to obtain the type of payment he expected to receive for a struggle of this magnitude.
López got $ 10 million for his defense of Wbo heavyweight belt title against Arnold Barboza Jr. On May 2 in Times Square in New York. For a confrontation against Shakur, Teophim would probably want in the neighborhood of $ 15 million. Everything that Teo has, Stevenson would wait for similar money.
Stevenson’s struggle entertainment value
Stevenson would not be worth paying for this type of money. Even in Shakur’s last struggle when he parked his back against the ropes against William Zepeda, it was still not exciting to see – Shakur tried mainly to block the incoming fire and sometimes threw a unique punch. They were never combinations.
If theophimo is only wrapping down with Shakur, he will be disappointing for fans. Many of them are already increasing their hopes.
