00:34can't take this from me i worked very hard for it at the press conference teofimo lopez issued a brutal
00:40warning to shakur stevenson making it clear that he will punish him in the ring he said that even
00:45if he is seen as the underdog he will show what he is capable of lopez stressed that people
00:50underestimate him at their own risk and promised a dominant performance that will leave no doubt
00:54about his skill power and determination
00:56teofimo lopez shows intense determination ahead of his fight with shakur stevenson
01:08confident and focused he declares he will dominate in the ring ready to prove his skill power and
01:13strategy lopez's mindset is clear he is fully committed to winning and leaving no doubt about
01:18his abilities yeah beat him up beat him up and we know at one point you contemplated retirement seems
01:27like you're in a good place now you're active where are you at right now where are you feeling
01:30about your career mentally i'm in the bahamas somewhere having a coquito or something bro
01:35teofimo lopez makes it clear that he will not allow shakur stevenson to take the belt he worked so
01:41hard to earn he emphasizes the sacrifices behind his success explaining that the title represents years of
01:47struggle pain and dedication for teofimo this fight is about protecting what he built through
01:53hard work and perseverance he believes strongly in himself and is determined to defend his position
01:57in the ring lopez views this moment as personal driven by pride and effort and insists that no one
02:03can take away something he earned through blood discipline and commitment and talking of being in the
02:09ring um yes shakur stevenson obviously you guys are both in las vegas i'm hearing that you did link up
02:15today a face-off happened between the two of you yeah face-off happened um things of that nature just
02:20you know just to create create the things that are in motion already so we're we're really adamant
02:26about fighting each other next and i can't wait for us to really lace it up and i see him across the ring
02:31and really when that bell rings lights out for him what's it like seeing him now kind of face to
02:37face when you look at him what do you see because obviously you're not locked in just yet and
02:41the closer it gets to a fight obviously things turn a little bit but when when you do look at
02:46shakur what do you think of him i think um i don't think too much of it you know i think that he's
02:54he believes in himself that's one thing but i'm here to destroy his dreams and all that he wants to
03:00do and become you can't you know you can't take this from me i worked very hard for it i've i've bled for
03:06this you know and i'm not taking nothing from him but i just believe that what's gonna happen next
03:11is to is for destiny and the boxing ring to the side koya breaks down the shakur stevenson versus
03:17teofimo lopez fight emphasizing that it is likely to go the full 12 rounds though the dynamics of the
03:24first six rounds could shape the outcome he notes that shakur may not come out aggressively at the
03:29start choosing instead to fight off the back foot and observe lopez's approach if teofimo can dominate
03:35or convincingly win the early rounds it could influence shakur's strategy in the latter half of
03:39the fight making it more competitive lopez is described as a front runner someone who relies on
03:44early energy and explosiveness and okoye questions whether he can sustain that intensity throughout
03:50if shakur senses he has lost some of the early rounds he will be forced to open up later creating
03:55an intense finish and potential for close championship rounds conversely if lopez loses the first few rounds
04:02clearly shakur could cruise to a comfortable unanimous decision this breakdown highlights the strategic
04:07chess match between both fighters where timing energy management and round by round execution will
04:13be key to victory because i don't think that shakur is going to come out and try to fight or take the
04:19fight to teo in the first six rounds at all so if he's fighting off the back foot if teo can make it
04:25so that he's convinced he's convincingly or he's convinced at least shakur that he may have won
04:31four of the first six rounds you know if it's four or two in shakur's mind going into the second half of
04:37the fight or if i'm looking at him stealing those first six rounds then it's an interesting fight going into
04:42the tail end because teo to me is a front runner right i want to see if he can carry his energy and
04:47his explosiveness late in the fight and not wear down and then when shakur starts to open up you know
04:54can you steal some of those championship rounds from him and make it like a close fight i think if it go
04:59if teo comes out and does what he usually does which is try to swarm shakur early and keep shakur on
05:05the defensive early then he can try to steal a lot of those early rounds and if he does that
05:11then shakur has to fight in the tail end of that fight now to make it real interesting
05:15if if if i'm looking at the first three rounds first four rounds and teo looks like he's losing
05:19those rounds convincingly then it's an easy night for shakur unanimous decision in my opinion you know
05:24what i mean because i don't think teo is going to bring anything late in the game you know what i
05:29mean to this fight i think he's if he is who he's always been you know he's going to get gassed after
05:34like the seventh round and then take some rounds off and when he does that shakur will open up and start to
05:39try to pick pick him apart pot shot and do things like that but this is the perfect fight narrative
05:45wise for shakur because i've been waiting for shakur to get into that fight where you know he doesn't
05:51have the fight where he doesn't have his viego corrales fight you know what i mean where you think
05:56he's actually in danger shakur has been the he's been outclassing everybody he's in the ring with you
06:03know i mean then the guys that you think could give him some word like de los santos i know people hate
06:07when i bring that fight up but i want to see him actually in danger shakur stevenson shares that
06:13his drive comes from a deep competitive spirit constantly seeking the toughest challenges in
06:18the sport watching teofimo lopez's previous performance stevenson was struck by his confident
06:24flashy style which reminded him of a young roy inspiring a desire to test himself against such
06:29skill he views this upcoming fight as a crucial opportunity to gauge his abilities against an elite
06:34opponent while adapting to a new set of strategies reflecting on his earlier fight against william ada
06:40stevenson recognizes it was unconventional and demanding yet it proved invaluable for his growth
06:46showing he could thrive under pressure and adversity he learned that fighters who apply
06:50constant pressure are meant to challenge him yet he successfully managed that style reinforcing his
06:56confidence now facing lopez stevenson feels well prepared to handle the speed power and unpredictability
07:02of a high level opponent his focus adaptability and accumulated experience give him confidence
07:08that he can navigate the fight intelligently turning it into a comprehensive test of his skills
07:13mental fortitude and readiness to compete at the sport's highest level but bro what is it about
07:19you that has you you know looking at a fighter that you know is the truth and then saying i want to
07:25fight him it seems like it should be normal if you're a fighter right but that stuff is dying off in the
07:29game right now and i feel like you wanted the last of the dying breed that that actually want real
07:34challenges yeah i'm competitive bro so it's like i want to be the best so when i see certain guys out
07:41there and i seen teo his last fight i was there front row and i'm like damn this dude is like
07:46like he's like a baby roy like he's like doing things hands down flashy um and i thought it was
07:54i thought it was cool so it kind of made me want to get in the ring with him and see if he could do
07:58them things against my style your last fight was against william zapata in july and you fought a
08:05totally different way it wasn't the easiest way or the best way to fight but i think it was good for
08:12you and your development because it not only sent a message to the to the rest of the division
08:16one up you know your division at that time and then the one above you but it sent a message to
08:20the fans but but i think it also did something for you to prove to yourself that man listen that wasn't
08:25like my best performance but i showed you i can get it out the mud what did that performance
08:30kind of do for you now that you look back at it honestly i think like style wise i think that
08:36zapata style is the style that's supposed to give me the most trouble like guys that box and give me
08:43time to think is the guys that's gonna have a fit with me all night but the guys who press me and
08:49put me in put me against the ropes and throw a million punches that's the style that's supposed
08:54to give me trouble so i went out there and i prevailed against that style and now i'm fighting against a
09:00boxer which for me it just makes it more fun i don't have to deal with a guy that's trying to like
09:08wear me down so much right chris algieri weighs in on the significance of the shakur stevenson
09:14versus teofimo lopez fight emphasizing its importance for the sport he advocates for match-ups where top
09:20fighters face each other taking risks regardless of potential losses noting that fighters can remain
09:26elite even with setbacks algieri believes this fight embodies that philosophy representing a high
09:32level clash rather than a brawl filled with non-stop punches the technical skill and strategy on display
09:37will keep fans on the edge of their seats highlighting quality over sheer volume he stresses that a victory
09:43for shakur would solidify his position among the top five to seven pound-for-pound fighters though many
09:48argue he already deserves that recognition algieri frames the fight as a throwback matchup or legendary
09:54clashes between the best of a weight class he underscores the drama skill and history such fights
10:00carry comparing the anticipation and tactical intrigue to classic encounters demonstrating that
10:05high-level boxing remains as thrilling and meaningful as ever or the health of of boxing on this side of
10:11the world you know listen there's nothing like the garden we've we've both fought there many times i've
10:16fought in the big room it's it's there's nothing like the garden just the vibe like you said champ
10:19that's around that and this fight is deserving deserving to be here it's that good of a fight
10:24uh it's that big up fight and especially like i said like the health of of american boxing this is
10:30one of the best fights that can be made and putting it in the garden just makes too much sense but the
10:34the idea of the turmoil the eyes on it the the spectacle the circus chris you talked about the
10:41idea that tfimo was kind of lives in this that's where he flourishes that's what he loves this idea that
10:46because there's so many eyeballs on it's going to be kind of a circus does that favor tfimo a little
10:50bit when you look at the strategy yes no i'm gonna say it well i can't say for certain because
10:54there's no certain with tfimo lopez he's one of the most up down left right guys i've ever been
10:58mercurial you could say yes but when he is on he's damn near unbeatable i mean he's such a good athlete
11:04he is such a good boxing iq um he's so physical and explosive and again i've said this on past shows
11:10i've called him many times for top rank been around fight weeks and it just seems to me
11:14the more out of sorts he seems the more uh back against the wall it looks like the the more that
11:21he's an underdog the better he performs and this could be that kind of situation new york is a tough
11:25place man it's they're they're already gibbering but you're going back and forth saying like you know
11:30he he he reps brooklyn but it's kind of questions about his brooklyn roots can he really rep brooklyn in
11:34the way that he says he can so he's already getting that getting that heat for that i don't know it might
11:38might be uh might be a good thing to kind of to poke the bear in terms of how how well tfimo is going to
11:43show up paulies that's a huge you're from brooklyn that's a big insult to say that you're not really
11:47from brooklyn a little bit assault him a little bit assault him but i'll tell you what i don't
11:53there's so many thoughts in my head with this with this situation because tail female is at his most
11:57dangerous when he's when he's counted out and this is going to be one of those fights where he's going
12:02to be counted out bruce carrington analyzes teofimo lopez's upcoming bout with shakur stevenson
12:07highlighting a key vulnerability in lopez's approach difficulty handling dynamic movement
12:12despite his natural athleticism and heavy hitting ability lopez may struggle to adjust when faced with
12:18an opponent who constantly changes angles and maintains disciplined spacing carrington emphasizes
12:24that stevenson's composure and tactical awareness could exploit this weakness forcing lopez to over
12:29commit or miss opportunities by controlling distance and pacing stevenson can make lopez fight on
12:34stevenson's terms rather than imposing his own style carrington also notes that while lopez excels in
12:40explosive bursts and aggressive exchanges his reliance on raw power can be counterproductive
12:46against a patient mobile fighter stevenson's defensive intelligence and ability to reset after
12:51each combination may frustrate lopez limiting his effectiveness and energy over the rounds ultimately
12:57carrington suggests that lopez must adapt his movement strategy and patience if he hopes to overcome
13:02stevenson's technical proficiency the analysis portrays a fight where skillful footwork timing and ring
13:08awareness could tip the balance showing that athleticism alone may not be enough to secure
13:13victory against a highly disciplined and intelligent opponent i feel like uh teo is going to bring the
13:18fight he's very athletic um you know he has a lot of explosiveness and uh but i do feel like when it
13:26comes to shakur bro his movement may frustrate him the only thing that worries me when it comes to
13:32teofimo is his frustration like is he going to be able to work well with a mover you know we've
13:40seen you know difficulties that he had with sandor martin we've seen the difficulties that he had with
13:45jimmy nortiz guys has been moving around and not staying still like if you keep teo moving around he
13:52can't play on his feet what can he do we're gonna have to find that out on uh you know january 31st and i
13:58think shakur he's probably one of the best guys to you know move his feet be on defense being hella
14:05patient and frustrating a fighter role like so i don't know we've seen teo get frustrated to the
14:12point where he's asking himself do i still got it you know i'm saying we got to see what his mentality
14:18is going to be like come january 31st do you but do you think that his experience on the biggest of
14:25stages you know his two biggest wins he was an underdog um and both guys ironically enough were
14:31southpaws like shakur um that play any factor to you nah styles is different the styles are totally
14:39different lomachenko don't fight like shakur josh chiller don't fight like shakur like i don't i don't
14:44see just because southpaw that that same thing will happen i feel like certain techniques could be used to
14:50fight shakur yeah but in terms of like that approach of the fight nah right shakur fights
14:56totally different you gotta be able to do some out-of-pocket stuff with shakur you gotta throw
15:01while he's throwing that's probably some of the only times that he's able to get hit you know one time
15:05he's open so yeah i other than that bro it's pretty it's gonna be a pretty tough night for uh teofimo
15:13lopez but i feel like it's still gonna be an exciting fight gary antuan russell offers a detailed
15:18perspective on teofimo lopez examining a particular version of the fighter rather than generalizing
15:24his abilities he points to lopez's bout with vasily lomachenko as a model highlighting how the
15:29fighter thrives when combining aggression with control russell emphasizes that lopez's success
15:34depends on maintaining composure even while applying relentless pressure forcing opponents
15:39into uncomfortable positions while minimizing openings for counters this balance of intensity and
15:44discipline makes him extremely challenging to face according to russell when lopez commits fully to
15:49his game plan pushing the pace using his athleticism and capitalizing on timing he can dominate rounds
15:56and keep even elite fighters on the defensive
16:02yeah for sure i mean look like you said the first thing you said was bluffing mcmuffin right so you
16:10don't think that he's gonna do that let's just say that's the case let's say he wins this fight
16:14but he just or he doesn't win this fight whatever happens right because you already made a statement
16:17after he said all this here i'm gonna go back down to 35 so which one is man he's kind of 67 with it
16:23no there you go come on which one is so let's talk about 140 then because obviously there's other
16:30champions there one who you've been going back and forth with recently online one that you have history
16:35with and um you got other guys subriel there somebody else you had history richardson hitchens
16:40what's the route for you going forward after your next fight after my next fight unify i've always
16:45let it be known i want to be undisputed in my division i want to unify anybody who got a title
16:50every time that's what i need to see next after my next upcoming fight gary uh just talk about
16:57obviously your division is hot right now this fight your fight coming up you know maybe one of the
17:03biggest ones in uh in teofimo versus uh shakur just looking at that fight stylistically how does it
17:08play out in the ring it's 50 50 you know uh in order for you to participate in this sport you
17:17got to have a high level of confidence i feel like both of them has a high level of confidence
17:22tlp mo lopez and shakur stevenson but styles make fights naturally i think tlp mo lopez is stronger than
17:29shakur naturally i think he has more athleticism than shakur and he got a good iq on the sport itself but
17:37shakur i feel like he's a more smaller fighter he's a more technical fighter you know i'm not
17:44saying that he's a square or he's just a textbook fighter but he's seasoned he's poised i feel like
17:51mentally he's more mature like he don't go outside of the boundaries on uh taking risks
17:58so a lot of times you'll see him fight somebody that could be stiff competition russell also notes
18:03that lopez's explosiveness and power are magnified when paired with strategic patience allowing him
18:09to land meaningful shots without leaving himself vulnerable by studying the lomachenko fight russell
18:14illustrates that lopez's effectiveness isn't solely about raw talent or physical gifts but about smart
18:20execution adaptability and mental focus the analysis underscores that a composed strategic approach
18:26transforms lopez into a formidable high level threat in the ring you know that's why everybody was
18:34criticizing him oh he's a born fighter he's a careful fighter and i feel like with tlp mo lopez he's
18:41going to be a careful fighter you know just because he's a careful fighter doesn't mean that he isn't
18:45punctual with how he do things i think shakur he got a lot of this awesome that he can use to make him be
18:55victorious as well as tlp mo lopez you know i mean so it's a 50 50 fight and it depends on what
19:01fighters show up the night of the fight you know but if i had to give my whole honesty if tlp mo lopez
19:08show up and is ready to fight just like how he put loma chica that's it for today's video stay tuned until next time
