02:19All right, come on.
02:26Shakur Stevenson pushes through intense drills
02:29and sharpens speed, timing, and defense
02:32for the Teofimo-Lopez clash, while Terrence Crawford
02:35watches carefully, studying each move
02:37and planning smarter strategies inside camp.
02:40Thank you, appreciate it.
02:43Yeah.
02:44That's the second time that happened to you.
02:45Yeah.
02:45And I ain't even touch your body.
02:46Yeah, thank you.
02:47Appreciate it.
02:47Yeah.
02:48And I do a lot of different things,
02:48but I do a lot of different things.
02:49And basically, they're not going to count.
02:52I'm not going to count down the rest of the time.
02:53These guys are the big videos that I also want to count up
02:55for this video.
02:55And they're looking out right there,
02:56so apparently they're going to come down.
02:57They're looking for some other things.
02:59They're going to look at a lot of different events.
03:00They're going to be looking for a lot of others that have in the world.
03:02They're going to be looking for a lot of different experiences.
03:02That's good, they're going to go to the best thing.
03:03And I ain't even touch your body.
03:07Shakur's coach says he fears nobody steps in with anyone
03:10who accepts every challenge and is ready to fight absolutely everyone.
03:14The best of the best of the best.
03:17That goes for everybody.
03:18For everybody.
03:21That goes for everybody.
03:23I don't put him at the pound for pound over everybody.
03:28Now you figure out whoever you think the best, he the best ever.
03:31Terrence stands inside Shakur's camp, offering brotherly advice,
03:36sharing experience, guiding strategy,
03:38and motivating him with calm, confident leadership.
03:40The people that know it all are the people that don't go very far.
03:43You got to always be a student.
03:45You got to always be able to learn and pick up things from this person, that person.
03:51He's a work of art.
03:53The sky is the limit with Shakur.
03:56He got the boxing skills and the ability to do whatever he want in the ring.
04:01You know, and it's going to be very hard to beat Shakur, you know,
04:06with the skills that he possess and the smarts that he has.
04:09Terrence Crawford applauds Shakur Stevenson,
04:11emphasizing his remarkable skills and sharp ring intelligence.
04:15He notes that some label Shakur boring,
04:18yet few truly appreciate his talent, strategy, and mastery in every fight.
04:22Who you got winning that?
04:23I got Shakur.
04:25Are you saying that because that's your man and you don't like ting?
04:27In Shakur Stevenson's camp, Terrence Crawford teaches him a variety of techniques,
04:32emphasizing the value of learning different tricks from every fighter.
04:36It's like a black kind of thing.
04:38Like, it's like, you know, like when you go to cookouts and all your family be sitting there
04:45playing spades and like our type culture, I guess.
04:49We whooping their ass in spades, but they up right now.
04:51Sean Porter views the upcoming fight between Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez
04:56as a matchup that Stevenson can control, describing it as Shakur's fight to lose.
05:01He explains that if Stevenson performs at his highest level, he can dictate the pace and outcome.
05:06While acknowledging the unpredictability inherent in boxing,
05:09Porter emphasizes that Stevenson's skill and preparation give him a clear advantage.
05:14He expresses optimism that the fight could be highly entertaining and meaningful for the sport,
05:18potentially starting the year with a strong statement in boxing.
05:22Porter also shares his personal reflections on the previous year,
05:25feeling that the sport had unfinished business and lacked closure on key events,
05:29which he hopes this fight will help rectify.
05:31Overall, he conveys respect for both fighters while highlighting Stevenson's responsibility to
05:36execute his plan and seize the opportunity presented in this significant matchup.
05:40I think there's some other ways it could go, but a lot of people think it's going to be,
05:44it could possibly be boring.
05:45I don't think it's going to be a boring fight.
05:47Okay.
05:47I think Teo knows he has to step up.
05:50I think this is his fight.
05:51I think it's Shakur's fight to lose.
05:53And what I mean by that is if Shakur doesn't operate, if Shakur is caught sleeping,
05:57something bad could happen.
05:58It's his fight to lose, but I think it's also Teo's fight to win.
06:02And what I mean by that is if Teo performs the way that he can perform,
06:05I don't know that's like an empty message, but all that said,
06:10like it could actually be a really great fight.
06:12I expect a great fight.
06:13And I hope this fight, I'm going to let you go last because I respect you.
06:16Every time I'm in an argument, you know, we talked about what we talked about for the show.
06:19We all have a disagreement.
06:20I said, well, I call Sean, it's not Teo right now.
06:22You eat your ass up.
06:23But I didn't want to.
06:24But I hope Teo and Shakur starts the year off big
06:30and actually builds a sport of boxing if I have a great year.
06:33I don't feel like I was let down last year in sport of boxing.
06:35I don't know how y'all felt.
06:36I just felt like we had a lot of open stuff that didn't get close.
06:40Tim Bradley explains that the most direct path isn't always the quickest or most effective in boxing.
06:46He emphasizes that when facing an opponent who stays on the center line and expertly controls distance,
06:51a straight punch might seem fast, but it isn't always the best choice.
06:55Bradley points out that many fighters assume the shortest route to the target
06:59is automatically the most efficient weapon, but this is a common misconception.
07:03He highlights the hook as a more strategic option,
07:06describing how it briefly appears in the opponent's line of vision,
07:10disappears, and then reappears,
07:12allowing it to reach its target faster than a straight punch in certain situations.
07:17Specifically, Bradley identifies the left hook as a potentially devastating weapon
07:21for Shakur Stevenson to watch out for,
07:23emphasizing how hooks can exploit openings and catch fighters off guard,
07:27making timing and angle just as important as speed.
07:31Again, sometimes the closest route isn't always the fastest route.
07:38You got a guy that likes to stay on the center line,
07:44a guy that's a master at controlling range, okay?
07:48So, many people fall into the understanding that
07:57because the straighter punch can get there,
08:03they believe, faster, it's the shorter route to the target,
08:08that that's the best and most effective weapon.
08:12No, it's not.
08:13It's not.
08:14So, the one thing about hooks are in frame
08:23and then out of frame.
08:30In frame, check this out.
08:34Check this out.
08:37Back in frame.
08:38So, that moment, that little small little
08:42moment
08:46where it's in frame,
08:53out of frame,
08:56back in frame,
08:57it gets to the straight line a lot quicker than straight punches.
09:02The punch that I'm worried about
09:06for Shakur getting hit with
09:08the most
09:09from Tio
09:11and he's
09:12devastating with this punch
09:14is the left hook.
09:18Regis Progre highlights
09:20Shakur Stevenson's superiority
09:21in both mental approach
09:23and technical boxing skills
09:24compared to Teofimo Lopez.
09:26He notes that while Lopez possesses
09:28impressive athleticism and raw talent,
09:30he often struggles with focus,
09:32consistency,
09:33and maintaining the right mindset
09:35during high-pressure moments.
09:37Progre explains that
09:38Stevenson's calm composure,
09:40strategic thinking,
09:41and precision in the ring
09:42give him a decisive edge,
09:44particularly in anticipating
09:45opponent's moves
09:46and adjusting his tactics mid-fight.
09:49According to Progre,
09:50Lopez's natural ability alone
09:52is unlikely to match
09:53Stevenson's disciplined approach,
09:55which combines tactical intelligence
09:56and physical skills seamlessly.
09:58He also stresses that mental toughness
10:00can often outweigh
10:02physical advantages,
10:03making Stevenson a more reliable
10:05and prepared fighter
10:06in this matchup.
10:07Ultimately,
10:07Progre positions Stevenson
10:09as the fighter
10:10with a clearer plan,
10:11better awareness,
10:12and stronger consistency,
10:14highlighting why he believes
10:15the mental and technical balance
10:17leans in Stevenson's favor.
10:18After that,
10:19I feel like,
10:20you know,
10:21Shakur is probably gonna start
10:23stepping up
10:23and Tia's gonna try to hit him
10:25and it's not gonna work
10:26and then Shakur might start,
10:27the thing about Shakur,
10:28Shakur is a very good,
10:30a real good counter punch
10:31and really sharp,
10:32real, real, real sharp
10:33with the counter punch.
10:34He just,
10:35he sneaks those punches in,
10:36you know,
10:36and that's the one that hurt the most
10:38when he just sneaking them in
10:39when you're not supposed to hit him.
10:39So I definitely feel like,
10:41yeah,
10:41I feel like Shakur is gonna beat him
10:43comfortably.
10:44Not a knockout,
10:46but a couple of 12 rounds.
10:47For sure.
10:48Have you spalled Lopez before?
10:49I never spalled Tia,
10:50though.
10:51Never spalled Tia.
10:52Tia, Fimo Lopez
10:53and Shakur Stevenson.
10:55That definitely makes sense.
10:57Who do you think's gonna win that fight?
10:59I got Shakur for sure.
11:01Shakur.
11:02Do you think he wins this comfortably
11:04or do you think it'll be a close fight?
11:06I think he wins it comfortably,
11:07yeah.
11:07I think he wins it comfortably.
11:08I think,
11:09you know,
11:10Shakur,
11:10I think,
11:11the thing is about Tia,
11:12Tia's very good athletically,
11:14but he's weak-minded.
11:15You know,
11:16you can see in some fights,
11:17he's struggling.
11:17Tia does struggle.
11:18You know,
11:18now he does come up from big fights.
11:20Lomachenko,
11:20he came up.
11:21Josh Taylor,
11:21he came up.
11:22But a lot of fights,
11:23man,
11:23he struggles.
11:24And,
11:24you know,
11:24he does struggle
11:25on a whole lot of fights and stuff.
11:26Like,
11:26I think he looked good.
11:27Yeah,
11:27he looked good against Barboza.
11:29But like I said,
11:29for the most part,
11:30Tia does struggle.
11:31And I think he struggles mentally
11:33with a lot of things.
11:34But I think with Shakur,
11:36I think Shakur's gonna break him.
11:37I think maybe the first two or three rounds,
11:39it might be a close fight.
11:41You know,
11:41it might be close.
11:41It might be 2-1 or something like that.
11:44But then...
11:44Malik Scott analyzes
11:46the potential showdown
11:47between Teofimo Lopez
11:48and Shakur Stevenson,
11:50focusing on how each fighter's strengths
11:52might influence the bout.
11:53Scott points out Lopez's quickness
11:55and athletic ability,
11:56noting that these traits
11:57give him the potential
11:58to be explosive
11:59and unpredictable
12:00inside the ring.
12:01However,
12:02Scott emphasizes
12:03that raw speed
12:04and athleticism
12:05are insufficient
12:06against a technically superior
12:07and strategically minded opponent
12:09like Stevenson.
12:10He explains that
12:11Stevenson's ability
12:12to read opponents,
12:13control the pace,
12:14and exploit openings
12:15could neutralize
12:16Lopez's advantages.
12:18Scott also considers
12:19how fight intelligence,
12:20timing,
12:21and decision-making
12:22are crucial factors
12:23that could determine
12:24the outcome
12:24more than sheer athleticism.
12:26By dissecting the matchup carefully,
12:28he highlights Stevenson's edge
12:29in skillful execution,
12:31suggesting that Lopez
12:32would need more
12:33than physical gifts
12:34to overcome
12:34Stevenson's methodical style.
12:36Scott's insights
12:37underscore the importance
12:38of combining talent
12:39with strategy
12:40for a successful performance.
12:41I don't want to say
12:42like TV friendly
12:43because it depends
12:44on, you know,
12:45which either guy
12:46with what game
12:47they come with
12:48concern.
12:49Is Shakira going to use
12:50nothing but his legs?
12:51Is T.O. going to do
12:52just enough because
12:54Shakira may offset him
12:55a bit and give him
12:56a look that he never
12:57seen before?
12:58I have Shakira winning.
12:59I think T.O.
13:01concerning explosiveness,
13:02he get it.
13:03Rapid speed,
13:04he get it.
13:04But I think
13:05when it comes to
13:05the craft
13:06and fundamentals,
13:07you have to go
13:08with Shakira.
13:09To me,
13:09he's a lot more seasoned.
13:11And plus,
13:12I just believe
13:12Telafim,
13:13he makes mistakes
13:15to me you just
13:16can't make
13:17when you're fighting
13:18Shakira.
13:19Like what?
13:19You can't be
13:19overcommitting.
13:21You can't approach
13:23his offense range
13:27with your lead hand down,
13:29especially since
13:30Shakira is a softball.
13:31Because I mean,
13:31if you're orthodox
13:33and you're approaching
13:33Shakira with your lead
13:34hand down,
13:35you're actually closer
13:36to what?
13:36His jab hand.
13:37And we all know
13:38Shakira got one
13:38of the best jabs,
13:39especially from
13:39a softball standpoint.
13:41But it's going
13:41to be a good fight.
13:42The card is incredible
13:43by itself.
13:44You know what I mean?
13:44We already know
13:45how the card is.
13:46We got Keyshawn on it,
13:47Jarrell Miller on it,
13:49Shushu Carrington.
13:50So, you know,
13:50it's a great card,
13:51but I'm going with
13:52Shakira for the win.
13:53Okay, with that being
13:54said then,
13:54what does T.O.
13:56got to do to win?
13:57He has to get
13:57Shakira up.
13:59How would I say this?
14:00I don't want to just
14:00make it seem like
14:01come across as Shakira
14:03as novice.
14:04But the times that
14:05Shakira is putting
14:07himself against the
14:08ropes, this is the
14:09time that T.O.
14:10Fimo is going to
14:11have to depend on
14:13his explosiveness.
14:14He's going to have
14:14to depend on his
14:15offset lead right
14:17hands.
14:17But even doing that,
14:20T.O., everything with
14:21T.O. comes off his
14:21front foot, his
14:22explosiveness, his
14:23speed, everything.
14:25So it's almost like
14:25whenever the times he
14:27gets Shakira up
14:28against the rope,
14:29he's got to pick his
14:30shots well, but then
14:31after that, he has to
14:32be ready to defend
14:33because we're
14:33Shakira, the return
14:34is always coming.
14:35Teddy Atlas steps
14:36in to defend both
14:37Shakur Stevenson and
14:38T.O.
14:39Fimo Lopez from the
14:40criticism they have
14:41faced throughout their
14:42boxing careers.
14:43Atlas stresses that
14:44public perception often
14:45fails to capture the
14:47full scope of each
14:48fighter's dedication,
14:49talent, and
14:50accomplishments.
14:51He explains that
14:52both fighters have
14:52had moments where
14:53they were misunderstood
14:54or unfairly judged,
14:56and he emphasizes the
14:57need to recognize
14:58their skill,
15:00discipline, and
15:00hard work.
15:01Atlas highlights
15:02Stevenson's strategic
15:03intelligence and
15:04composure, as well as
15:05Lopez's natural
15:06athleticism and fight
15:08instincts, showing that
15:09both bring unique
15:10qualities to the sport.
15:11He also discusses how
15:12external criticism can
15:13overlook the complexities
15:15of a fighter's
15:15preparation, mental
15:17challenges, and in-ring
15:18decision-making.
15:19By providing context and
15:20perspective, Atlas encourages
15:22fans and critics to
15:23appreciate the nuances of
15:25each athlete's journey,
15:26rather than focusing solely
15:27on isolated performances or
15:29reputations.
15:31Tiofemo with a certain
15:32smile, he's avoiding this
15:35guy, he's avoiding that
15:36guy.
15:37You can't take those shots
15:39at these two guys.
15:41Definitely can't now.
15:43They are stepping up and
15:45they are taking fights that
15:47a lot of people are probably
15:49surprised they took.
15:50Now, a lot of people will
15:51say style-wise, Teddy,
15:53style-wise, is this going to
15:55be a great fight?
15:56I don't know if it will.
15:58I mean, style-wise, I can
15:59see you having a little
16:00reservations, you know,
16:02whether or not these guys
16:05will make for dynamite,
16:07they will make, you know,
16:08for electricity.
16:11I don't know if they will,
16:12but I'll tell you what they
16:13will make for.
16:14Two skillful fighters, two
16:16talented fighters, you know,
16:18two fighters that are at a
16:22high skill level that will
16:25compete.
16:26I mean, Shakur showed
16:27aggression in his last fight
16:29against Cepeda, you know,
16:30being elusive while being
16:33aggressive, you know,
16:34walking them down, fighting
16:36on the inside, you know,
16:38boxing well, still being able
16:41to counter, still being able
16:42to control space, but also
16:45be able to go into tight
16:46quarters and not be afraid to
16:49show that he's good on the
16:50inside too, that he can make
16:52you miss and make you pay
16:53outside and inside.
16:54Shakur showed that.
16:56That was great.
16:57That was great.
16:57And people applaud him.
16:58I applaud him.
16:59We were sitting there ringside.
17:01I was sitting there actually
17:02with your sister ringside
17:04watching that fight.
17:05And it was a terrific performance.
17:09Shakur showing that dimension,
17:12showing that attitude,
17:13showing that competitiveness,
17:15showing that dog like people
17:17like to show or like to talk
17:19about.
17:19And they wanted to see in
17:21Shakur.
17:21Jermaine Ortiz offers a thoughtful
17:24perspective on the upcoming
17:25fight between Shakur
17:26Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez,
17:28highlighting Stevenson's
17:30growth as a fighter.
17:31Ortiz emphasizes that Shakur
17:32has learned from his past
17:34experiences and will not make
17:35the same mistakes again.
17:37In earlier matches,
17:38Stevenson occasionally fought
17:39aggressively without fully
17:41controlling the distance,
17:42leaving openings for opponents
17:43to capitalize on.
17:45Ortiz explains that this fight
17:46will see a more disciplined
17:47approach, with Shakur
17:49carefully managing range,
17:51timing, and positioning
17:52to maximize effectiveness
17:53while minimizing risk.
17:55Oh, maybe a glimpse or two.
17:59Why?
17:59And one, Shakur said it himself
18:04after that fight that he wasn't
18:05going to fight like that again.
18:08And that's the main reason.
18:10He said he wasn't going to do it.
18:12And, um,
18:16Tio's cracking like that.
18:17He's going up to 140,
18:18which is my ability.
18:19Huh?
18:20Is Tio cracking?
18:21No, I don't, I don't think,
18:22I think, I think, I think he had
18:23more of a, of a threat
18:24with the, the pay-up
18:27as a puncher
18:27than Teofimo.
18:30Uh, but,
18:32he's going up to weight class,
18:33that's not naturally
18:34his weight class as well.
18:36You think that would play a factor?
18:41No, I'll,
18:42that would play a factor
18:43than him not fighting
18:45in pocket how he did with the pay-up.
18:46He notes that Stevenson's ability
18:48to read his opponent
18:49and adjust mid-fight
18:50has improved significantly,
18:52making him a more formidable
18:53and intelligent fighter.
18:54Ortiz also points out
18:56that this strategic evolution
18:57is a result of Shakur's dedication
18:59to refining his craft,
19:01studying opponents,
19:02and implementing lessons learned
19:03from both victories
19:04and setbacks.
19:06According to Ortiz,
19:07this maturity allows Stevenson
19:09to maintain composure
19:10under pressure,
19:11execute clean counters,
19:12and avoid unnecessary exchanges,
19:14giving him a clear advantage
19:15over Lopez
19:16if he applies
19:17these principles effectively.
19:18moving around,
19:21making sure that
19:22Yeah, in and out.
19:24Doing things
19:24that Teo don't like.
19:26He got,
19:27he got,
19:27he got long,
19:28he got longer arms,
19:29you know,
19:29I think he'll just keep him,
19:31he'll keep him at bay.
19:37You know,
19:38Teo's a tricky fighter too,
19:39so I'm not saying
19:40that he can't,
19:41you know,
19:41slip in and catch him
19:42with a couple shots,
19:44but
19:44Shakur,
19:46I think he's going to be
19:46defensively sound,
19:47he doesn't like getting hit,
19:48and I think he's going to
19:49stick to that.
19:51You know,
19:52as far as
19:53Shakur is concerned,
19:55and Teo,
19:56when you look at the speed,
19:58when you look at the timing,
20:00who do you feel like
20:01has that edge
20:02when it comes down to that?
20:04It could be separate,
20:05it could be somebody
20:05got the speed
20:06and somebody else
20:07got the timing,
20:08but when you look
20:09at those styles,
20:10That's it for today's video,
20:11stay tuned until next.
