01:02Teofimo's training camp for Shakur highlights intense pad work sessions where every movement is.
01:08Milton Lacroix, assistant trainer, is carefully preparing Teofimo to handle Shakur's intense, sharp, and disciplined fighting style.
01:16He's an entertaining cat.
01:17Everything is fun.
01:18It's a fun day every day.
01:19But it's serious when he's sparring.
01:21He gets down to nitty gritty, does his thing, just embarrasses a lot of the sparring partners.
01:27And, again, I tell him, have fun in here.
01:29Like, just make boxing great again, make boxing fun again.
01:34Oh, it is a little one.
01:37Man, I've been working my eyes for so much.
01:40His opponent is undefeated.
01:43He's a frigid-y boxer.
01:46He jumps in, jumps out.
01:48But there's one thing we see that he don't do, and we'll tell you when we do it to him.
01:54I can't tell you now, but I'm going to tell you later.
01:56Take over sports.
01:58Teo in camp brings in more sparring partners to sharpen every detail of preparation.

04:12Shakur works relentlessly on the punching bag, each strike sharp and controlled.
04:16Determined to show exactly what he is capable of on fight night, January 31st, he pushes through fatigue, focusing on power, speed, and precision.
04:25All right, we're gonna sell Tio.
04:4117.
04:42Tio Gimmy.

04:44Tio Gimmy, bro.
04:45The takeover is over.
04:46I'm a bad motherfucker, I'm the best in the game boxing game, you don't even know
05:16Shakur Stevenson sits in the Art of Dialogue interview, speaking with focus and determination
05:22He explains that after fighting and beating Teofimo, he believes he will become one of the top four fighters in the world
05:28His words show confidence, discipline, and a clear vision for his path
05:33Reflecting the same precision and dedication he demonstrates in the ring every day
05:37Shakur Stevenson acknowledges the power and skill Teofimo possesses
05:42He explains that facing Teofimo was a deliberate choice because Teofimo is a top level fighter
05:46And challenging him pushes Shakur to elevate his own abilities
05:50By taking on such a strong opponent, he sharpens his technique, improves timing, and hones his strategy
05:56Shakur emphasizes that testing himself against the best is essential to growth
06:00Proving he's committed to leveling up his game and reaching elite status
06:05Yeah, bigger name and also he got the more accolades
06:09He's been undisputed before
06:12He's on one belts at 35, one belts at 40
06:16So he just got, he's more accomplished
06:18So I know that that would be a better name on my resume
06:22Yeah, a lot of people saying that this is going to be a tough fight for you
06:26I mean they absolutely right to have their opinion
06:30I already know this guy's good
06:32I done came up in the amateurs with him
06:33I chose this for that reason
06:35Like I chose this because I wanted to challenge myself
06:39I wanted to put myself in a situation to where
06:42I'm able to raise my game up to another level
06:46So that was my whole purpose
06:48Do you feel like you got to be real dominant in this fight?
06:51Cause I mean Tio, he from New York and you know
06:53You having a fight in New York and the judges man
06:56You never know y'all
06:57He not from New York
06:59But he not from New York
07:00He not from New York
07:01He um, he probably was born in New York
07:05But like being from New York
07:06It's like I'm raised and I'm brought up in New York
07:09And I've known him for years and years
07:12And I've always seen him out of Florida
07:15Like that's where he was out of Florida
07:17So I don't look at him like a fighter that's from New York
07:22But do I got to be dominant?
07:23I think every fight that I set up
07:27I want to be dominant
07:28I don't care who in front of me
07:29I want to dominate
07:30I want to beat you to where
07:32Judges don't feel like they can rob me
07:35So I always got that feeling
07:36I always got that chick on my shoulder
07:39If you do win this fight
07:40What do you think it does for your career?
07:43I think it put me top five
07:45Pound for pound
07:47I think it puts me like
07:49One of the best fighters in my era
07:54I think it just establishes that I'm that guy
07:56Like um
07:58I beat one of the four kings
08:00That they call the four kings
08:04It also depends on the fashion that I do it
08:06So it's going to be interesting

08:45The reason why this fight is happening is because we want it bad
08:48We want to be number one
08:50You know in boxing so to speak
08:52He's coming for my crown
08:55At the you know super lightweight division
08:57And honestly nevertheless it's all about the fans
09:01Who has a better resume between you two guys do you think?
09:03Ah man I'll tell you again
09:05Honestly it doesn't matter until we hang up the gloves
09:07I think that we still have such a long
09:11Depending on how well we do with our health
09:13We got a long career ahead of us man
09:15So this is just something for everybody for 2026
09:18We started off with a bang and we go from there
09:22In the face-to-face interview
09:23Shakur Stevenson reveals that he sensed Teofimo feeling jealous toward him
09:27Shakur explains that as he gained more attention and recognition
09:31Teo's reaction showed hints of envy
09:33Despite this both fighters remain focused on their preparation
09:37Letting their training and skills speak louder than emotions
09:40He fought for Team USA
09:41He got a silver medal
09:42Nah not during them times though
09:44Not during them times
09:46I'm speaking on the times where I felt like
09:50You had a push start
09:53You used to be ahead of me
09:54As far as like
09:55Use the code on a Terence Crawford card
09:59I was underneath
10:00Then you got the opportunity to fight with Lomachenko
10:03And after that I felt like I kind of got pushed more than you
10:09And you felt some type of way about the way that I was pushed more than you
10:12When it came down to ESPN
10:15I remember you saying a little comment with the ESPN only like black fighters
10:20And all that kind of stuff
10:22And when you said that I kind of felt like it was a shot at me
10:25So I felt like it was a little bit of jealousy
10:27Roy Jones Jr. provides a thoughtful perspective on the differences between
10:32Old school and new school fighters
10:34Highlighting how respect was upheld in his era
10:36He explains that back then
10:38The line between confidence and disrespect was clear
10:41And crossing it would not have been tolerated in a face-to-face situation
10:45Fighters were expected to show decorum outside the ring
10:48And any personal insults or challenges were handled directly
10:51Often with immediate consequences
10:53Roy emphasizes that this code of conduct maintained professionalism and accountability
10:58Keeping the sport disciplined and grounded
11:01Roy Jones Jr. highlights a clear difference between old school and new school fighters
11:05Especially in how they carry themselves outside the ring
11:08In contrast, he observes that modern fighters operate in an environment
11:12Shaped by social media, constant hype, and entertainment value
11:16The line between confidence and disrespect often becomes blurred
11:19With online bravado replacing face-to-face confrontation
11:23While this approach generates attention and builds excitement
11:26It can also encourage unnecessary provocation and public challenges
11:30Rather than settling matters in the ring
11:32Roy emphasizes that despite these changes
11:35True skill, discipline, and dedication are still the foundation of greatness
11:39No amount of online noise can replace hard work, preparation, and respect for the craft
11:45He believes rivalry has evolved into a performance
11:47But the fighters who truly succeed are those who balance promotion with professionalism
11:52And let their abilities speak when the bell rings
11:54Y'all still don't hear me a lot of times when I say it
11:59There's old school and there's new school
12:02Old school
12:04Had something that had been said
12:06They would not have allowed us to be able to come face-to-face
12:10Cause you don't say that to me
12:11And think I ain't gonna try to tear your head off as soon as I get close to you
12:14You understand what I'm from?
12:15You're not gonna wait till fight night
12:16You're gonna get extended in that night
12:17Cause sometimes you go a little bit beyond respect
12:21That's disrespectful
12:23If you disrespect me at any level, we fighting then
12:27Now I'm gonna try to hold it together
12:28But if you disrespect me, which is what he just did
12:33I'm not gonna ask him about what he's talking about
12:35When I get close enough, I'm gonna show him what I ain't talking about
12:37You understand what I'm coming from?
12:39So there's a difference
12:40That's why I say you gotta know the difference
12:41From the old school and the new school
12:45And he said that in party
12:48I would've told him, listen, whatever y'all do
12:51Don't let me get close to him
12:52Cause I'm about to get close to him

13:17And is unlikely to make reckless decisions inside the ring this time
13:21Ortiz emphasizes Shakur's discipline, adaptability, and ring intelligence
13:25As key factors that could give him an edge
13:27Over a formidable opponent like Teofimo Lopez
13:30Analysts agree that this matchup is a true contrast of elite boxing styles
13:35Making it one of the most intriguing fights in recent memory
13:38Shakur Stevenson enters the ring with exceptional speed
13:41Sharp precision, and a high-level technical foundation
13:44That allows him to control distance and tempo with ease
13:47His ability to read opponents and make adjustments mid-fight

14:20Unfolding around by round
14:22As anticipation continues to build, all eyes remain fixed on which fighter will rise to the moment
14:27And secure a defining victory
14:29Um, maybe a glimpse or two
14:33Why?
14:33And
14:37One, Shakur said it himself after that fight that he wasn't going to fight like that again
14:42And that's the main reason he said he wasn't going to do it
14:46And um
14:50Teo's cracking like that?
14:51He's going up to 140 which isn't really
14:53Huh?
14:54Is Teo cracking?
14:55No, I don't think, I think he had more of a threat with the
15:00Zapata as a puncher than Teofimo
15:06But he's going up to weight class, that's not actually his weight class as well
15:11You think that would play a factor?
15:15No, that would play a factor
15:18Than him not fighting in the pocket how he did with Zapata
15:22Got you
15:22That's what I'm saying
15:24So yeah, because of the style
15:26The style, he's
15:27You, you feel like he's going to be in and out
15:30Moving, moving around
15:32Making sure that
15:33Yeah, in and out
15:35Doing things that Teo don't like
15:38He got, he got, he got long, he got longer arms, you know
15:40I think he'll just keep him
15:43He'll keep him at bay
15:44You know
15:48You know
15:49Teo's a tricky fighter too
15:50So I'm not saying that he can't
15:52You know, slip in and catch him with a couple shots
15:55But
15:57Shakur, I think he's going to be defensively sound
15:58He doesn't like getting hit
16:00And I think he's going to stick to that
16:01You know, as far as Shakur is concerned
16:06And Teo
16:07When you look at the speed
16:09When you look at the timing
16:12Who do you feel like has that edge
16:14When it comes down to that
16:15It could be separate
16:16It could be somebody got the speed
16:17And somebody else got the timing
16:19Bazi Ennis delivers a strong and compelling warning for Teofimo Lopez
16:23Stressing that Shakur Stevenson is a fighter who should never be underestimated
16:28He points out that Shakur's speed, technique, and ring intelligence make him exceptionally dangerous
16:33Capable of adapting quickly to any opponent's style
16:37Ennis highlights that while Teo is powerful and skilled
16:40He must respect Shakur's ability to control distance
16:43Time his punches and exploit openings with precision
16:46Every round in the ring will test not only physical skill but mental sharpness
16:51And Ennis insists that underestimating Stevenson could be a costly mistake
16:55He emphasizes that Shakur's preparation, discipline, and experience
16:59Allow him to adjust under pressure and respond effectively to whatever Teo brings
17:04The warning serves as a reminder that success in this fight
17:07Will come from respect, strategy, and execution
17:10Not just raw power or hype
17:12Fans and fighters alike should take note
17:14Keep him apart
17:16I'm going to keep him apart
17:17And I gotta tell everybody this day
17:20Wichicom is real athletic too
17:23Teofimo
17:24So I mean, I don't think it's going to be an easy fight
17:27You know what I mean?
17:28People think, you know, a lot of people say it's going to be easy
17:30You know what I mean?
17:31Teofimo can punch
17:33And he can box
17:34And like I said, he's real athletic
17:36So, you know what I mean?
17:37That'll make it a little difficult
17:39Right there
17:40You know what I mean?
17:41I see a lot of people going back and forth with it
17:43Some people think that Teo got the advantage because of the weight
17:46Nah
17:46And that he's athletic and explosive
17:48Nah
17:49Some people say Shakur is the better boxer
17:51Yes
17:51How do you see that fight ending?
17:54Well, they're saying, you know
17:55They've got the weight and all that
17:56I see Shakur boxing
17:58B guys
17:59Like heavyweights and all that stuff
