00:00Because that's what we want, you know, we want a great fight.
00:07We want a competitive fight.
00:09I mean, we do this for the fans, you know.
00:12Ever since my son started this, you know, I told him, you know, this is entertainment.
00:30But, you know, I see him stronger.
00:39I see him mentally more focused, you know, with the 140 weight division.
00:50Shakur grows heated during an exchange with Teofimo Sr.
00:54as both trade warnings while Teofimo Sr. promises his son will dominate fight night decisively.
01:20Teofimo Sr. tells Shakur he looks undersized
01:22and promises his powerful son will overwhelm him easily on fight night.
01:27And what was he saying to you?
01:29His dad said that he was going to beat me.
01:31He said that I'm too little and all that kind of stuff.
01:34So I came with the show.
01:36And what were you saying back?
01:38I was letting him know he can't, you can't fight for him.
01:41He the guy that got to fight.
01:42So when I see him, let's see what he do.
01:45Is this more about fighting Teofimo, a big fight like this or a four weight world champion?
01:50Teofimo Sr. shows strong confidence, claiming every belt at 140 belongs to his son who dominates every challenger.
01:57You know, not even, he doesn't even have to feel like 100%.
02:00But, you know, I see him stronger.
02:03I see him mentally more focused, you know, with the 140 weight division.
02:07He's gonna do great things, you know, and just expect, you know, something great come August 13.
02:14Shakur Stevenson moves up from lightweight to super lightweight, determined to challenge Teofimo directly at his natural division.
02:21Actually a 35 pounder, but I moved up for this fight because I know that why would I bring him down?
02:28I would have to come up to his weight if I want to fight him, so it only made sense.
02:33Teofimo Sr. admits boxing remains risky and unpredictable, warning that one punch or mistake can instantly change everything.
02:40You know, every time you go in there, you're putting your life at risk, you know, so anything like he said, he must have said that anything could happen and, you know, that this is the game, this is the fighting game we chose.
02:53Shakur observes that Teofimo's behavior calls him unstable and believes that his wild mindset makes him dangerous and harder to control.
03:01Some of the things that he was saying at the press conference was interesting.
03:04What did you make of his vibe overall?
03:06I think something mentally wrong with him.
03:09I don't think he's like all the way there mentally.
03:11I think he's crazy.
03:13Legit?
03:14That's my opinion.
03:15Yeah, I think he's legit crazy.
03:16I think something really wrong with him, but that's what make him dangerous.
03:20I think them the guys is the most dangerous people, them delusional, crazy people who want to be the best and want their spot at greatness.
03:29So I got to respect it, but I think something is definitely off with him.
03:32Who are you talking to there off to the side?
03:34Was that his dad?
03:35Yeah, I'm talking to his dad.
03:37Yep.
03:38Teofimo Sr. promises relentless pressure, saying they will never allow Shakur space, comfort or rhythm inside the ring.
03:44It's going to be a great fight.
03:45I want everybody to come and see it.
03:47If you can't, you know, just watch it on TV.
03:50You've had to come up with some good game plans over the years to beat some great fighters.
03:54Lomachenko, Taylor among them.
03:56How difficult is this man, Shakur Stevenson, to prepare for?
04:00Well, I see their weakness.
04:02That's what I do.
04:03You know, we broke the code with Loma that nobody had ever done.
04:09You know, we couldn't let, we didn't let him get comfortable in there.
04:13You saw, you saw that, you know, within like eight rounds, he didn't know what to do.
04:18I did the same thing with Josh Taylor, and we're going to do the same thing with Shakur.
04:22All right.
04:23Keyshawn Davis speaks confidently about the time spent training alongside Shakur Stevenson before the big challenge ahead.
04:30He describes the camp as one of the most enjoyable and productive experiences of his career.
04:35The gym feels alive with energy as close friends, teammates, and even family members work together every day, pushing each other to improve.
04:43Sparring sessions are intense, yet respectful, with everyone sharpening their skills like iron sharpening iron.
04:49Davis explains that training beside people he trusts makes a huge difference because it removes pressure and replaces it with motivation and happiness.
04:57The atmosphere allows him to stay relaxed while still working seriously, which helps his performance grow naturally.
05:02He says the rounds are tougher now, more focused and more competitive than when they were younger.
05:07Feeling comfortable at his current weight also boosts his strength and movement.
05:11With strong preparation and unity behind him, Davis believes both he and Shakur will deliver dominant performances when fight night arrives.
05:19Hell yeah, bro.
05:20And also, DB3 is in training camp.
05:21Kelvin and Keon Davis are my brother.
05:23So like, we all in there sparring, pushing each other.
05:25Like, this was like one of the funnest training camps we ever, I ever had.
05:28You know what I'm saying?
05:29So, shouts out to Shakur family, the show.
05:31How big of a difference would that make for you?
05:33Training with them?
05:34Yeah.
05:35See, the energy, bro, would just be different.
05:36Like, I don't know, bro.
05:37Y'all know me, but I just come into the gym, be dancing and stuff.
05:40Like, I'd just be happy really to train because I'm training alongside family.
05:44People I've been with for over 10 years, you know what I'm saying?
05:46So, it's just, it's just different.
05:47How is that going to translate now, you think, performance-wise?
05:50Having that type of camping experience?
05:52Well, I feel like I'm going to perform regardless under any type of circumstances.
05:55You know what I'm saying?
05:56The great ones perform, and that's just what I do.
05:58I'm great, and I'm going to show you how great I am.
06:00What's the difference in the work in sparring when you guys were younger fighters as opposed
06:04to now at this level when you guys get to working?
06:06See, it's a lot more serious, like, just a lot more serious, a lot more focused going
06:10into us working.
06:11But, I mean, just naturally, you know, I'm just, I'm at a, like, I feel like I'm at my
06:17weight.
06:18Like, I feel real comfortable at this weight.
06:19And from this weight, I can go up to anything I want to do.
06:22You know what I'm saying?
06:23So, I feel comfortable.
06:24I feel great.
06:25And shoot, y'all going to see.
06:26It's right there for you.
06:27I mean, you can be a champion very soon again, right?
06:30Yeah, for sure.
06:31Be a champion for sure.
06:33You know, that's the goal.
06:34You know, so, prayerfully, you know, God, that's God's plan.
06:37Great.
06:38Thank you so much.
06:39How do you have some insight seeing Shakur train for Teal?
06:43Asking too much questions.
06:44No, but you saw that.
06:46Like, I'm not asking for a game plan, but let me know what's in store.
06:49Like, there's no January 31st, me and Shakur is going to put on dominating performances.
06:54You know what I'm saying?
06:55I feel like we are the best in boxing, period.
06:58Skillfully, physically, any type of, any type you want, whatever you want to do, whatever
07:03you have you want to call it, I feel like we're the best in boxing, me and Shakur, period.
07:07Richardson Hitchens shares a balanced and thoughtful view about the stacked 140-pound division and
07:12the potential clash between Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez.
07:17Speaking from experience, he explains that the weight class is filled with confident fighters
07:21who all believe they are the best, which naturally creates intense and competitive matchups.
07:26When discussing Shakur versus Teofimo, he does not see it as a one-sided fight like many fans assume.
07:32Instead, he calls it close and competitive, giving Shakur a slight edge around 60-40.
07:37Hitchens praises Shakur for his defense and ring intelligence, saying he is extremely hard to hit clean,
07:43which makes opponents frustrated and cautious.
07:45At the same time, he refuses to overlook Teofimo's athleticism, speed, and unpredictability.
07:51He believes Teofimo is dangerous enough to change the rhythm of the fight and force Shakur
07:55Shakur to think more carefully.
07:57Teofimo is above the fight, Shakur Stevenson.
08:00Who wins and what does that fight look like?
08:03Um, I mean, everybody expects me to be like, Shakur's gonna win easily, right?
08:06Well, that's just what we think.
08:07Yeah, nah, nah, but, um, I think it's a good fight.
08:12I think it's honestly 60-40.
08:15I think, you know, I obviously favor Shakur.
08:17He's the more unbeatable guy because he's hard to hit him, period.
08:23But, um, Teofimo also has the abilities to not be that easy, um, easy-hittable.
08:29Like, he's not just gonna, he's not just a guy you're sitting there to pick apart.
08:32Well, right, he's also athletic and defensive at times.
08:34Yeah, so, um, I think it's a 60-40 fight I'm favoring Shakur.
08:38And I don't know how Shakur is gonna win the fight.
08:40I don't know if Shakur is, is, with Shakur it's all about the danger you could,
08:44put in front of him.
08:46According to Hitchens, the key factor is danger.
08:49If Shakur senses a real threat, he becomes more tactical and controlled.
08:53If not, he dominates freely.
08:55Either way, Hitchens expects a smart, high-level battle between two skilled fighters.
08:59That's one thing I do know.
09:01If he feels like it's danger, and you got his mind thinking and working,
09:05you can, um, taint him and make him keep off of you.
09:09If T.O. can't make him think, if T.O. don't got nothing, that's like,
09:13yo, this motherfucker hurt me, Shakur's gonna have his way with him.
09:15Right.
09:16So, it's all about what Shakur feels in that ring that day.
09:19So, in other words, if there, if he does sense some danger,
09:22if Shakur sense some danger, it'll be just a different type of fight,
09:25but he'll still win.
09:26Right. It'll be more of a, I'mma get what I can get, and I'm out of here.
09:30Yeah, I can't move.
09:31Yeah.
09:32What do you think about his performance against Cepeda?
09:34He surprised me that day.
09:36Yeah, yeah.
09:37But you've seen him do that in the gym, so why did he surprise you?
09:40Because it's always different under lights.
09:41Yeah, it was different under lights.
09:43You know, he was sending me sparring clips, um, of him in that camp.
09:47Like, I was watching, and I'm like, okay, like, alright.
09:51Analysts discuss the growing story about T.O. Fimo Lopez possibly getting the better of Shakur Stevenson during an old sparring session,
09:58and the topic quickly grabs attention.
10:00They begin by giving both fighters credit for staying focused and professional throughout camp.
10:05Instead of loud trash talk or social media drama, both have remained quiet, serious, and locked in on preparation.
10:12That silence suggests respect and signals that each understands the level of challenge ahead.
10:18I give credit to T.O. here and Shakur.
10:21They both, they both have literally been in camp seemingly focused.
10:27Like, T.O. especially.
10:29T.O. be doing all their, like, hooting and hollering and, like, talking about black folks and all that.
10:34He really been silent.
10:35He ain't really, like, I don't, again, I don't mind if you talking about the upcoming fight.
10:40That's what you're supposed to do.
10:41It's part of the promotion.
10:43But they both been quiet, if we're being real.
10:47Like, Shakur be heavy on Twitter and Twitterson and all that.
10:50T.O. be doing outlandish stuff and trying to do skits and all that.
10:54They both seemingly, and that's good for a fight because that shows, like, a sign of respect.
11:01You kind of respect your opponent enough to not be, like, trolling and, like, doing too much and really locking in and focusing.
11:09Late night, we come here and do 18 ounces of gloves an hour or as long as I can of training without no break.
11:16The conversation then shifts to T.O. Fimo's claims about sparring Shakur years ago in Miami.
11:21According to him, the session lasted only a few rounds, but he believes he had the upper hand.
11:26He even says Shakur asked for filming to stop, which adds mystery and fuels debate.
11:31While some analysts remain skeptical, they admit the moment reportedly happened.
11:35Still, most agree that sparring stories do not always predict real fights.
11:39Camps are for learning, not winning.
11:41However, the tale highlights T.O. Fimo's confidence and mindset.
11:44If he truly believes he can trouble Shakur, that belief could make the matchup far more competitive and unpredictable on fight night.
11:51Just trying to see how much more.
11:53An hour or 18.
11:54He's the best whenever he's in good condition.
11:56Like they say, we eat, we sleep, everything boxing.
11:59My nutritionist is anonymous.
12:01They're giving me a lot more protein.
12:03I've been with him ever since he started boxing, which was at six.
12:07I really.
12:08The next rising star is we sparred.
12:10We did only three rounds back in Miami 2016.
12:13The next rising star is we sparred.
12:16We did only three rounds back in Miami 2016.
12:19I was getting the best out of him.
12:21He should've seen afterwards.
12:22Why do you think he said stop?
12:24He said stop recording.
12:25Come on, dog.
12:27Boom.
12:28T.O. said when he sparred against Shakur, he got the best of him.
12:36And Shakur told the cameraman, which was T.O.'s pops to stop filming that.
12:42I don't know about the best of him.
12:44Cause I wasn't there for the sparring part, but that actually happened.
12:48I actually, I have the clip of it happening.
12:52Antonio Tarver explains that the smart pick is Shakur Stevenson because his boxing skills
12:57and ring control usually lead to decision victories.
13:00He points out that Shakur fights like a pure technician using sharp footwork, clean counters,
13:05and tight defense to outthink opponents round after round.
13:09According to Tarver, that style makes Shakur extremely hard to hit and even harder to outscore,
13:14which is why most fighters struggle to keep up with him.
13:18Yeah.
13:19I mean, smart money would be on the, the, the, the boxer, you know,
13:22Shakur Stevenson winning the decision.
13:24But, you know, if, if Lopez can make this fight, you know, a lot tougher than expected, you know,
13:31and, and he's going to have to exchange with Shakur.
13:33You know, he's a fast fighter.
13:35We don't know who's the quickest or fastest here.
13:37You have to give the speed air to Shakur.
13:39But if Lopez can punch with this fast guy, make him a little bit cautious and a little bit leery of what's coming back, that serves him well.
13:50But Teofimo is one of the best conditioned fighters out there.
13:53If this fight goes late, you can expect him to be pushing forward round nine, 10 and 11 if it goes late.
14:01Yeah. You know, a big question is always like the, what Teo is going to show up and like when everyone's counted out Teo,
14:08it's actually been the times where he's like upset people like against Lomachenko against Josh Taylor.
14:13Still Tarver believes Teofimo Lopez has one clear path to victory.
14:18He says Teofimo cannot stand at range and try to out-of-box Shakur because that plays directly into Shakur's strengths.
14:25Instead, he must make the fight rough, fast, and uncomfortable.
14:28By pressing forward, throwing punches in combinations, and forcing exchanges, Teofimo can make Shakur cautious and disrupt his rhythm.
14:36Tarver also highlights Teofimo's conditioning and heart.
14:39If the fight goes into the late rounds, he expects Teofimo to keep pushing the pace and take risks.
14:44That fearless, aggressive approach gives him a real chance.
14:48In Tarver's view, only the bold, relentless version of Teofimo can beat Shakur.
14:53And, you know, fights to the level of his competition.
14:55And I've been thinking like, hey, you know, if we get the best version of Teo,
14:59like the Teo that showed up for those fights, does that Teo beat the best Shakur?
15:03It would have, I mean, I think that's the only chance he got is to really be his ultra self, you know,
15:09doing all the things that makes him Teofimo Lopez.
15:12The footwork could be a major advantage for him.
15:16You know, being able to get inside.
15:18You know, a lot of times he fights free.
15:20You know, he don't really have a style.
15:22He does sometimes what it takes.
15:24And he's a gutsy fighter.
15:26You know what I mean?
15:27Real gutsy.
15:28He's not going to be leery to take chances.
15:31He's a gambler in there.
15:33You know what I'm saying?
15:34So he's a live underdog, I would say.
15:37A live underdog.
15:38But if he's to win this fight, I think he has to probably stop Shakur Stevenson.
15:43He's going to have to hit him with something.
15:45And let's hope Shakur's hands hold up.
15:48Floyd Schofield does not sugarcoat his opinion when breaking down Shakur Stevenson versus Teofimo Lopez.
15:54He believes the matchup may not produce a clear domination from either side because both fighters are skilled defensive boxers who limit clean punches.
16:02In his view, that could lead to a slow tactical contest where neither man lands enough to separate himself clearly on the scorecards.
16:09He even suggests the fight might feel uneventful at times or end in a close decision that frustrates fans.
16:15However, Schofield focuses heavily on the business side of boxing.
16:19With the event tied to major money and international backing, he questions whether the judging will truly favor a tight technical battle.
16:26He feels that when big investments are involved, close rounds often lean toward the safer or more marketable fighter.
16:32Because of that, he doubts Teofimo can rely on simply outboxing Shakur.
16:37Like I said, it's in Saudi Arabia.
16:39Who brought New York?
16:40It's in NYC.
16:41It's in Madison Square Garden.
16:42Listen, I know that.
16:43I know that.
16:44I know that.
16:45Who brought the streets of New York, had the power to buy the streets of New York and draw a boxing fight?
16:50In the middle of Madison Square, in the middle of downtown New York.
16:54Who got that much power?
16:56Your boy.
16:57It's in Saudi Arabia.
16:58Because all they vibing off is the money.
17:00So he got it.
17:01It's in Saudi Arabia.
17:02You can call it Madison Square Garden for all you want.
17:04So that means the judges is paid for their on-siding money, most likely, the commission money, whoever funded this whole goddamn thing.
17:13So, you know, T.O. need a knockout.
17:16T.O.'s not outboxing them, not even on the cards.
17:19So, I mean, he need a knockout to win.
17:22Because they're not going to let their big investment lose.
17:27Floyd Scofield emphasizes that Teofimo Lopez cannot rely on points or close rounds to win against Shakur Stevenson.
17:35The fight's location and financial stakes make the decision unpredictable, so Teofimo must take full control inside the ring.
17:42He needs to constantly apply pressure, create opportunities, and force Shakur into uncomfortable situations.
17:48Any hesitation or cautious approach could allow Stevenson to outbox him over 12 rounds.
17:53Scofield stresses that only a clear and aggressive strategy aimed at securing a knockout gives Teofimo a realistic chance.
18:01Without decisive action, the outcome could easily slip away despite his skills or effort.
18:06But it is what it is. I just hope T.O. show up.
18:10I hope T.O. show up.
18:12Because I'm rooting for T.O.
18:14I hope he show up.
18:16Yeah, I hope he show up.
18:17I hope he don't mentally break when Shakur is boxing him.
18:20I hope he could stay focused to the middle of the rounds and he could catch Shakur.
18:24Because in the beginning, Shakur is learning and Shakur is going to make an adjustment.
18:30And you got to make an adjustment when he make that adjustment to knock him out.
18:33So I hope T.O. catch that and don't stay basic against Shakur.
18:37Because once he figure your style out, you're done.
18:40If you can't make an adjustment.
18:42So what's your reaction to Teofimo Lopez saying no sponsors for this fight?
18:49I don't blame them.
18:50I ain't taking no snacks.
18:52When nobody, anybody got snack, I ain't doing vital with them.
18:55If they're a signed snack athlete, that's a conflict of interest.
18:59That's it for today's video.
19:01Stay tuned until next time.
