00:00way back there
00:08if he's doing that to you
00:18bro listen
00:20come january 3rd
00:22he's gonna do the tactics that he's been doing
00:24so he may do some weird kind of
00:26will it bother me
00:29no but what I really do
00:32I want the judges to pay attention to the
00:34actual who's landing what
00:36instead of paying attention to
00:38oh this this this all that
00:40now that was good to say because he started doing
00:42that after the uppercut
00:44this is the fight that I've been
00:50kind of waiting for my entire
00:52life I didn't have
00:54to make this fight this fight I could have just stayed
00:56at 135 pounds
00:58um sat comfortable at 35 I don't feel like no fighter at 135 can beat me
01:04why was this the right fight for you Teo the best fight in the best and I think that since
01:15you know after a tremendous performance by Crawford against Canelo you see that type of
01:20fight and the magnitude it brings you know you want to emulate it
01:25Shakur Stevenson reacted to Teofimo Lopez's new training footage by pointing out that while Teo moves a lot he just wants the judges to focus on who's actually landing the clean shots and not get distracted by all that extra movement
01:37what I really do what I really do is I want the judges to pay attention to the actual who's landing what instead of paying attention to oh this this this this all that
01:46now that was good to say because he
01:48started doing that after the uppercut
01:50yeah that I missed and all I saw
01:52was the dancer and you know what I feel
01:54that he got the best of that situation
01:56yes for sure because I didn't
01:58have the eye to catch that uppercut and the little stuff
02:00he was doing I want the judges to pay attention
02:02okay what landed and what did it
02:04Stevenson highlights the importance of maintaining a high relentless pace throughout the fight aiming to wear Lopez down over time
02:11I made this fight for that reason that was my competitive ass kind of kicked in when I wanted to make this fight
02:16I don't I don't feel like size win fights
02:18I didn't cherry pick I didn't say oh I want to go to 140 and I want to fight
02:23a guy that's
02:24a tune-up fight or somebody that's going to get me ready for
02:28this challenge um I just went up to 140 I said let me
02:32get the ring magazine champion
02:34let's fight that guy let's fight the guy that's the guy
02:36all that more pressure stuff don't mean
02:39as long as I'm like locked in
02:41and I'm focused on what I'm supposed to be doing
02:44none else matters around me
02:47that four weight world champion
02:48it means everything to me that's um
02:50that's me separating myself
02:53um a lot of these guys
02:55that they claim is
02:56the guys nowadays
02:58none of them can say
03:00that they are a four weight world champion
03:03honestly for a minute before um Devin went and did it
03:07none of them could say that it was really three weight world champion
03:10so now for me to go to the fourth and the next level is um
03:14a different type of thing
03:16a lot of people got to respect me
03:18because at the end of the day
03:20if they don't respect me
03:21they don't got no choice but to
03:23whatever I feel like doing that night
03:25is what's gonna be done now
03:26my game plan is my game plan
03:28I'm not gonna even tell nobody my game plan
03:30my game plan gonna come out
03:32come fight night and um
03:34just be myself
03:35just be myself
03:36be myself and everything gonna take care of itself
03:38the best version of me
03:40can't be beat by none of these fighters
03:42problem is he keep going up there
03:44and saying that I'm slow
03:45Shakur Stevenson insists he's sharpened up in camp
03:48and will come into this fight
03:49noticeably quicker
03:50and more explosive than in his last outing
03:53expecting that added speed and precision
03:55will catch Teofimo Lopez off guard
03:57and force him to adjust on fight night
03:59so when he realized that
04:01I'm a lot faster than
04:03what he's expecting
04:05that's gonna throw him off a lot
04:06because
04:07he watched my last fight
04:09and my grandfather was kind of mad at me
04:11for my last
04:12well not mad at me
04:13but he got on me in my last fight
04:14he said
04:15you had to slow it down
04:17for these months
04:17to see
04:19and I'm like
04:20yeah I had to slow it down a little bit
04:23but nah
04:24the style that was in front of me
04:26I kind of like
04:27that's why some people like
04:29oh he looks slow his last fight
04:30the style that was in front of me
04:33sometimes when people think of speed
04:35they don't understand speed
04:36don't mean nothing when it's inaccurate
04:38he got a lot of weaknesses though
04:40he's a very good fighter
04:41but I do see a lot of weaknesses
04:43he's not gonna correct them overnight
04:45it's gonna be the same Teo
04:46that we done seen a thousand times before
04:49Stevenson's move up in weight
04:50to 140 pounds
04:52is significant
04:53because it marks his first time
04:54competing professionally
04:55in this division
04:56and many analysts view this
04:58as his toughest test yet
04:59I actually set this fight up
05:01and I honestly did it
05:03because I wanted to push myself
05:04I know that Teo is a tremendous fighter
05:07I know he's on an extremely high level
05:10and I feel like
05:12well I know that I can beat him
05:14but I know that
05:15this should be a tough test
05:17so I'm ready
05:18who were some of the other options you had?
05:21Lamont Roach
05:22Lamont Roach
05:24that would have been a real good fight man
05:26but I mean Teo
05:27he's a bigger name though
05:28so I see why you went with him
05:30yeah bigger name
05:31and also he got the
05:32more accolades
05:34he's been undisputed before
05:37he's on one belts at 35
05:39one belts at 40
05:41so he's more accomplished
05:43so I know that
05:44that would be a better
05:45name on my resume
05:46yeah a lot of people saying
05:48that this is going to be
05:49a tough fight for you
05:50I mean they absolutely
05:52right to have their opinion
05:54I already know this guy's good
05:56I done came up in the amateurs
05:58with him
05:58I chose this for that reason
06:00Lopez doubts Stevenson's
06:01punching power
06:02as he moves up in weight
06:03but acknowledges his technical skill
06:05he sees Stevenson as a talented
06:07smart fighter
06:08who can still test his abilities
06:10despite the size difference
06:11what do you think of
06:12Shakur
06:13his style
06:14great fighter
06:15good fighter
06:16he knows how to fight
06:16he knows how to box
06:17inside outside
06:18he knows how to
06:20use his lateral movement
06:21so I think that all those things
06:23I need in order to
06:24enhance my skill sets
06:26and also to challenge myself
06:27because
06:28we can't say we are the best
06:30if we don't see it
06:31or look for it
06:33or even go out there
06:34and test it
06:35you've been critical of him though
06:36in over recent months
06:38you said he had the power
06:39of a six year old
06:40at one point
06:41on social media
06:42you did
06:42you had a lot of tweets
06:43I don't even remember
06:44dang
06:45I just be
06:46I don't even know
06:48what I be doing
06:49but you seem to believe
06:50that 140
06:51may be
06:52a bridge too far
06:53for him
06:54a step too far
06:55for him
06:55Shakur was
06:56honestly the most flawless
06:58from 123
06:59all the way down
07:00to 114
07:01since then
07:03he's had his
07:04he's had his
07:05shares of victories
07:07I think 135
07:08was his top tier
07:10140
07:12I think we just
07:13gotta wait and see
07:13Tio is focused
07:14on challenging himself
07:16and sharpening his skills
07:17his drive comes
07:18from determination
07:18not just motivation
07:20he fights to advance
07:21his life and career
07:22not merely to prove a point
07:24Despite the intense rivalry
07:45Teofimo Lopez
07:46has downplayed
07:47personal grudges
07:48insisting this matchup
07:50is about professional
07:51competition
07:51rather than friendship
07:52or vendettas
07:53Tio earlier in the show
07:55we discussed a quote
07:56from Terrence Crawford
07:57who's been training
07:57with Shakur Stevenson
07:58obviously they're good friends
07:59and he said that
08:00you know
08:00quote unquote
08:00Shakur is going to beat
08:01the F out of
08:02Tifimo Lopez
08:03I'm just quoting you there
08:05Tio we know that
08:07you've had your problems
08:08with Crawford too
08:08you guys got into it
08:09a couple of times last year
08:10yelling at each other
08:12is there a little
08:13extra oom for you
08:14in this fight
08:14knowing that Crawford
08:16is in Shakur's corner
08:17no
08:18no not at all
08:19you know
08:20define the odds
08:21man
08:21everybody be on that side
08:22I think that
08:23they all have
08:24like some sort of
08:25group plan
08:26amongst each other
08:27even with Keyshawn Davis
08:29you know
08:29they all think
08:30that they're going to
08:30conquer boxing
08:31as friends
08:32I don't think
08:33there's friends
08:33in this sport
08:34I think Malik Scott
08:35would also agree
08:37to me on that part
08:38I don't think
08:39this should be friends
08:39this is a fight business
08:40it's not about
08:41hey I want you to
08:42conquer this division
08:42I'll conquer that division
08:43we'll all be friends
08:44and we'll be champions
08:45this is not
08:46the Klisco Brothers era
08:47meanwhile
08:48Shakur Stevenson
08:49has implied
08:49there's tension
08:50rooted in perceived
08:51jealousy between him
08:52and Teofimo Lopez
08:53especially around
08:54comments Lopez made
08:56about ESPN's
08:57promotion of fighters
08:58comments that
08:59Stevenson interpreted
09:00as Lopez being
09:01jealous of the
09:01recognition and
09:02visibility that
09:03ESPN gives
09:04black fighters
09:05like himself
09:06Lopez once said
09:07that if ESPN
09:08wanted the black
09:08fighters
09:09they could keep them
09:10a remark made
09:11out of frustration
09:12about not feeling
09:13prioritized by the
09:14network and promoters
09:15despite his
09:15accomplishments
09:16and it sparked
09:17significant backlash
09:18and discussion
09:19about his motives
09:20and mindset
09:20were being pushed
09:22but it seemed
09:24like to me
09:24just from the
09:24outside looking
09:25in that he was
09:27pushed ahead of you
09:27he was getting
09:28the fights
09:30that you were
09:30you were calling
09:31for Loma
09:31he got Loma
09:32you wanted other
09:34guys he was
09:34getting other guys
09:35did you see him
09:36as a future foe
09:37because at one point
09:38you were two
09:38divisions ahead of him
09:39I think that
09:40everything just
09:41plays out the way
09:42it does
09:42and eventually
09:43we was going to
09:44end up meeting
09:44up with each other
09:45eventually
09:45I think that
09:46that's how it
09:47works right
09:47when two grades
09:48collide
09:48you're bound to
09:50see a great fight
09:50so I just
09:52I had never seen
09:53any jealousy
09:54in my part
09:55with him
09:55I mean for crying
09:56out loud
09:57he fought for
09:58Team USA
09:58he got a silver medal
09:59and the whole thing
10:02was pushed
10:02I'm speaking on the
10:04times where I felt
10:05like you had a
10:06push start
10:06you got the
10:07you used to be
10:09ahead of me
10:10as far as like
10:10you was the code
10:12on a Terrence
10:13Crawford card
10:14I was underneath
10:15then you got the
10:16opportunity to fight
10:17with Lomachenko
10:18and after that
10:19I felt like
10:20I kind of got
10:21pushed more
10:22than you
10:22and you felt
10:23some type of way
10:24about the way
10:24that I was pushed
10:25more than you
10:25when it came down
10:27to ESPN
10:28I remember you
10:29saying a little
10:30comment with the
10:31ESPN only like
10:32black fighters
10:33and all that
10:35kind of stuff
10:35and when you
10:36said that
10:36I kind of felt
10:37like it was
10:37a shot at me
10:38so
10:38the hell
10:39that's where
10:40we're going
10:40ESPN only likes
10:41black fighters
10:42I don't remember
10:43that
10:43but alright
10:44let's take it
10:45there then
10:45shit
10:46what we saying
10:47Tio
10:47they only watching
10:48the black fighters
10:48over at ESPN
10:49I felt like
10:50it was a little
10:50bit of jealousy
10:51Shakur Stevenson
11:15has been clear
11:16that he seeks out
11:17big challenges
11:17rather than
11:18easy fights
11:19a mindset
11:20that has shaped
11:20his career
11:21and motivates
11:22him going
11:22into the
11:23Teofimo Lopez
11:24matchup
11:25Stevenson chose
11:26this fight
11:26because he sees
11:27Lopez as a
11:28high level test
11:29that pushes
11:29his skills
11:30and proves
11:31his place
11:31among the
11:32sports elite
11:32not simply
11:33because of
11:34the spotlight
11:34but because
11:35he genuinely
11:35wants to push
11:36his limits
11:37against accomplished
11:38opposition
11:38I feel like
11:39he made mistakes
11:40and I think
11:41I'm gonna capitalize
11:41off on mistakes
11:42but bro
11:43what is it
11:44about you
11:44that has you
11:45you know
11:46looking at a
11:47fighter that you
11:47know is the
11:48truth
11:48and then saying
11:49I want to
11:50fight him
11:50it seems like
11:51it should be
11:51normal if you
11:52a fighter
11:52right
11:52but that stuff
11:53is dying off
11:53in the game
11:54right now
11:54and I feel
11:55like you
11:55one of the
11:56last of the
11:56dying breed
11:57that actually
11:58want real
11:58challenges
11:59yeah I'm
12:00competitive bro
12:01so it's like
12:01I want to be
12:03the best
12:04so when I see
12:05certain guys
12:06out there
12:06and I seen
12:07Teo his last
12:08fight
12:08I was there
12:08front row
12:09and I'm like
12:10damn this dude
12:11is like
12:11he's like a
12:13baby Roy
12:14like he's like
12:15doing things
12:15hands down
12:16flashy
12:17and I thought
12:19it was cool
12:20so it kind
12:20of made me
12:21want to
12:21get in the
12:22ring with him
12:22and see if he
12:23could do them
12:23things against
12:24my style
12:25your last fight
12:26was against
12:26William Zepeda
12:27in July
12:29and you fought
12:30a totally
12:31different way
12:31it wasn't the
12:32easiest way
12:33or the best
12:34way to fight
12:35he's spoken
12:36openly about
12:37being competitive
12:38and wanting to
12:38face fighters
12:39who demand
12:40discipline and
12:40adaptability
12:41reflecting a
12:42drive to grow
12:43as a boxer
12:44every time he
12:44steps into
12:45the ring
12:45Stevenson's
12:46confidence and
12:47focus on
12:47mastery
12:48rather than
12:49comfort
12:49fuel his
12:50preparation
12:50and sharpen
12:51his mentality
12:52for elite
12:52challenges
12:53like Lopez
12:54you know
12:54your division
12:55at that time
12:55and the one
12:56above you
12:56but it sent
12:57a message
12:58to the fans
12:58but I think
12:59it also did
13:00something for you
13:00to prove to
13:01yourself that
13:01man listen
13:02that wasn't
13:02like my best
13:04performance
13:04but I showed
13:05you I can get
13:06it out the mud
13:06what did that
13:07performance
13:07kind of do
13:08for you
13:08now that you
13:09look back at
13:09it
13:09honestly
13:10I think
13:11like style
13:12wise I think
13:13that
13:13Zapata style
13:15is the style
13:16that's supposed
13:17to give me
13:17the most
13:17trouble
13:18like guys
13:19that box
13:20and give me
13:20time to think
13:21is the guys
13:22that's gonna have
13:22a fit with me
13:24all night
13:24but the guys
13:25who press me
13:26and put me
13:27against some
13:28ropes and
13:29throw a million
13:30punches
13:30that's the style
13:32that's supposed
13:32to give me
13:32trouble
13:33so I went
13:34out there
13:34and I
13:35prevailed
13:35against that
13:36style
13:36and now I'm
13:37fighting against
13:37a boxer
13:38which for me
13:40it just makes
13:40it more fun
13:41I don't have
13:42to deal
13:42with a guy
13:43that's
13:43trying to
13:44wear me down
13:47so much
13:47now I gotta
13:49play chess
13:49I gotta do
13:50what I do
13:50best
13:51play chess
13:51so I can't
13:52wait
13:52in the
13:53Stevenson
13:53versus Lopez
13:54matchup
13:55the X
13:55factors refer
13:56to the
13:56critical elements
13:57that could
13:58swing the
13:58fight
13:59for Shakur
13:59Stevenson
14:00his distance
14:01control
14:01and jab
14:02are paramount
14:03as a skilled
14:03southpaw
14:04Stevenson
14:04excels at
14:05managing the
14:06space between
14:06himself and
14:07his opponent
14:08using precise
14:09footwork and
14:09short
14:10probing jabs
14:11to disrupt
14:12rhythm
14:12dictate pace
14:13and keep
14:14aggressive fighters
14:14like Lopez
14:15from closing in
14:16this allows
14:17Stevenson to
14:18avoid heavy
14:18shots while
14:19setting up
14:19his own
14:20combinations
14:20especially
14:21targeting the
14:22body
14:22a key
14:23strength
14:23noted by
14:23Malik Scott
14:24for Teofimo
14:25Lopez
14:26his knockout
14:26power and
14:27ability to
14:28cut off the
14:28ring are
14:29decisive
14:29Lopez can
14:30neutralize
14:31Stevenson's
14:31movement by
14:32using explosive
14:33angles and
14:34stepping off his
14:34front foot
14:35forcing engagements
14:36in close
14:36quarters where
14:37his power
14:38is most
14:38effective
14:39to you
14:39what's the
14:40the x
14:40factor for
14:41both in
14:41this fight
14:42the x
14:43factor for
14:44Shakur to
14:45me is
14:45distance which
14:46he's very
14:47good at
14:47doing with
14:47especially with
14:48his feet him
14:49and Usyk they
14:50both are very
14:50good uh
14:51uh
14:52probing with
14:54the jab too
14:54right
14:54probing with
14:55the jab
14:55keeping the
14:56distance making
14:57short steps
14:58going back
14:58they really
14:59don't over
14:59commit and
15:00with Teo I
15:01think it's
15:01going to be
15:02I don't I
15:03think like
15:03until last
15:05fights I
15:06don't know the
15:06last time we
15:07seen a Teo
15:07big knockout
15:08how we used
15:09to see especially
15:09since he moved
15:10up in the weight
15:10class but I
15:11think this is a
15:12fight where he's
15:12going to have he
15:13should go back to
15:14depending on that
15:15not just being
15:16going so powerful
15:17but he should just
15:18pick his shots
15:19um he should punch a
15:21lot where Shakur is
15:21going to be at and
15:22not where he's at
15:23if Lopez closes the
15:25distance successfully
15:26he can overwhelm
15:27Stevenson with heavy
15:28rapid punches
15:29turning the fight in
15:30his favor these
15:31contrasting strengths
15:32make the bout
15:33tactically complex and
15:34unpredictable
15:35he's going to have
15:35to cut off the
15:36ring and to me he
15:37really should work
15:38on not over
15:39committing because
15:39over committing with
15:41the likes of Shakur
15:41with the likes of
15:42Usyk they make you
15:43pay when you
15:44over commit and I'm
15:44sure Shakur is
15:45dependent on that
15:46so Teo should throw
15:47a monkey wrench in
15:48those plans and make
15:49sure he's keeping his
15:50chin behind his
15:51front knee making
15:51sure he's keeping
15:52his lead hand up
15:53especially going
15:53against a south
15:54ball because like I
15:55said his lead hand
15:56down makes him
15:57closer to Shakur's
15:58jab so we'll see
16:00these things is easier
16:01said than done inside
16:01the ring but like I
16:02said it's a great
16:03fight and I'm looking
16:03forward to it I'll be
16:04there if the Shakur
16:07that showed up for
16:08Cepeda fights that
16:09way against Teo what
16:10happens oh well take
16:13the Cepeda fight right
16:14yeah and but don't
16:16have Shakur as much
16:17in the corner I think
16:19Shakur wins easily I
16:21just don't trust
16:21Shakur on the ropes
16:23stuck in the corner
16:24against Teo against
16:26other fighters I
16:27could get why he
16:27would do that but
16:28against Teo Teo punch
16:30selections is a lot
16:31better than any
16:32fighter that Shakur has
16:33ever fought Teofimo
16:34Lopez along with
16:35several boxing
16:36analysts identifies
16:37what they see as
16:38Shakur Stevenson's
16:40primary vulnerability
16:41a tendency to
16:42prioritize avoiding
16:43punches over engaging
16:44aggressively coupled
16:45with limited knockout
16:46power when his jab is
16:47neutralized Stevenson's
16:49defensive style while
16:50highly effective for
16:51controlling distance can
16:53make him appear
16:53hesitant to trade in
16:55close quarters
16:55particularly against
16:57opponents with
16:57significant power
16:58Lopez has publicly
17:00stated that Stevenson is
17:01more focused on evading
17:02clean shots than
17:04committing to physical
17:04exchanges which he
17:06believes reduces
17:06Stevenson's overall
17:07effectiveness when facing
17:09heavy hitters by
17:10carefully timing
17:11Stevenson's slower
17:12punches and maintaining
17:13consistent pressure
17:14Lopez aims to force
17:15Stevenson into
17:16uncomfortable positions
17:17where his usual
17:18defensive advantages are
17:19less impactful
17:20exploiting this perceived
17:22hesitation Lopez plans
17:23to push the action
17:25limit Stevenson's
17:26movement and capitalize
17:27on openings created
17:28when Stevenson attempts
17:30to stay safe
17:31turning caution into
17:32a tactical liability
17:33it's one of the best
17:34fights you can make in
17:35boxing point blank period
17:36these two are the best
17:38in the world at a young
17:39age prime of both of
17:41their careers this is
17:42what boxing needs is
17:43what we want more from
17:44boxing so the fight we
17:46know is going to be
17:46fireworks but what's the
17:48build-up going to be
17:49like what's the thing
17:50that's going to make us
17:51tune in on fight night
17:52for Ryan Garcia Devin
17:54Haney it was the rivalry
17:55and the chaos surrounding
17:56for Tyson Fury and
17:58Alexander Usyk it was
17:59undisputed at heavyweight
18:00what's it going to be
18:01for this one yes
18:02championships are on the
18:03line yes it's one of the
18:04best fights you can make
18:05in boxing yes it's going
18:06to be a display of the
18:08sweet science but what
18:10else anything personal
18:11is there anything that
18:12we're going to see come
18:13out in these sit down
18:14during the discussion
18:15about knockout
18:15potential Teofimo Lopez
18:17makes it clear that his
18:18approach is rooted in
18:20discipline rather than
18:21obsession with a
18:22highlight reel finish he
18:23explains that in boxing
18:24actively chasing a
18:26knockout often works
18:27against a fighter leading
18:28to mistakes and poor
18:29positioning instead
18:30Lopez emphasizes the
18:32importance of setting a
18:33strong consistent pace in
18:35the early rounds to
18:36establish control and
18:37wear his opponent down
18:38naturally by applying
18:39pressure and dictating
18:40the tempo he believes
18:42opportunities will present
18:43themselves on their own
18:44Lopez also questions
18:45Shakur Stevenson's
18:46ability to handle the
18:47full 12 rounds at 140
18:49pounds noting that it
18:50will be Stevenson's first
18:52fight at that weight he
18:53suggests the added size
18:54physicality and sustained
18:56pressure could become a
18:57serious test as the fight
18:58progresses you meet at
18:59140 pounds compared to
19:01135 yes in comparison
19:02are you training for a
19:04knockout are you training
19:05to do something to not
19:06just beat Shakur but to
19:08beat him in grand fashion
19:09when I say grand fashion
19:10I mean going for the
19:11knockout well I think that
19:13the whole thing with is the
19:14bible of boxing really is
19:16that if you look for the
19:17knockout you won't get it
19:18you know I think really is
19:19just all about setting the
19:21good pace early in the
19:22beginning rounds and then
19:23going from there setting
19:24that tone I think that I
19:26don't see him going those
19:2712 rounds this is his
19:28first time moving up to
19:29140 a lot of these guys
19:31can say a lot of things
19:32about me not knocking them
19:34out or whatnot but they
19:35don't come and try to fight
19:36me after they feel this
19:37power so it's for a reason
19:39it carries it does carry
19:40Ryan Garcia confidently
19:41predicts that Shakur
19:43Stevenson will defeat
19:44Teofimo Lopez when they
19:45meet arguing that the
19:47stylistic matchup heavily
19:48favors Stevenson Garcia
19:49believes Lopez struggles
19:51against fighters who keep
19:52their distance and make him
19:53chase and Stevenson's elite
19:55movement and tactical boxing
19:56fall squarely into that
19:58category in Garcia's view
20:00Teofimo is more of a
20:01natural counter puncher and
20:02doesn't apply consistent
20:03forward pressure meaning
20:05he'll be put in a position
20:06where he has to chase
20:07Stevenson rather than
20:08dictate the fight
20:09Stevenson's ability to stay
20:11on the outside make Lopez
20:12miss and score clean
20:13punches gives him the edge
20:15Garcia says and he doesn't
20:16see Lopez forcing enough
20:18effective offense to win on
20:19points or by stoppage that's
20:21why Garcia sees Stevenson
20:23controlling the pace
20:24dictating distance and
20:25ultimately earning the
20:26victory in a fight where
20:28Lopez is uncomfortable with
20:29the style we need some real
20:31real boxing guys in this
20:32thing yo who you got
20:34Shakur or Teo I got
20:37Shakur Stevenson beat him
20:38you got Shakur you don't
20:40think Teo's gonna win

20:55Raleigh Romero points to
21:05their shared backgrounds as
21:06Olympians and elite pros
21:08noting that their styles and
21:10resumes make for an
21:11intriguing bout with both
21:12fighters boasting strong
21:13offensive and defensive skills
21:15Romero emphasizes the star
21:17power and depth of the
21:18matchup encouraging fans to
21:20expect a competitive high
21:21level and entertaining fight
21:23rather than a one-sided
