00:00Smack the s**t out of your s**t, boy!
00:02Even there's nuts in your mouth!
00:04Ayy! I would smack the s**t out of you!
00:06Like, yo, he's an acrobat!
00:08Let's go, Jem!
00:10Stop clowning, man!
00:12Ayy, ayy! Watch your words!
00:14It's like a foot in your mouth!
00:16And, um, being that he was a smaller guy, I watched Tio load up and hit him big.
00:22Hit him with the biggest shots that he could throw.
00:24And the guy just walked right through it.
00:26He just, boop! Keep it moving, walk right through it.
00:28So, um, I can't say his dad.
00:30I don't know what to make for it.
00:32I think he can punch, but I think, like, he overrates his own power.
00:40What was he telling you in the face-off right there?
00:42Huh?
00:43What was he telling you in the face-off?
00:44I ain't gonna beat my a**.
00:46Nah, he would do it right now, but, you know, he ain't trying to mess up his bag.
00:50That's all.
00:51Tio, in that face-off, besides the words that were exchanged between you and Shakur,
00:55what did you see in his eyes, man, when you looked at him?
00:58Evil.
00:59That's it.
01:00Just evil.
01:01Plain evil.
01:02You see any weakness or anything that you might have just gotten under his skin
01:06where you sense any sort of fear?
01:09Oh yeah, he'll show.
01:11I just gotta rip it out.
01:13Just gotta take it out from his soul.
01:14Shakur Stevenson erupts on Live and warns Tiofemo that he will end up in the hospital after the fight.
01:20Tiofemo declares he is the true champion, not Shakur, promising leadership and vowing to fight fiercely like a lion.
01:41To date, this is the biggest fight of my career.
01:44You know, I spoke to Eddie Hearn earlier and he said, he asked me a question of how do you beat Shakur Stevenson?
01:52Because I asked him how does Tiofemo win this fight and he said, well, how do you think?
01:56I need to ask you, how do you think you beat Shakur Stevenson on Saturday night?
02:00Um, just gotta be a lion in there.
02:04Just gotta be a lion and a lion doesn't attack right away.
02:09Lion pounces.
02:10And I just gotta take my time.
02:12Do you believe that you really have to step on Shakur Stevenson in order to stop him doing the things that he does well?
02:18I think this is the thing, like I don't need to do anything but be myself and fight the way I fight.
02:23I'm the champion, not Shakur Stevenson.
02:26Shakur says he poured blood, sweat and tears into this fight, proving dedication, sacrifice and relentless hunger for victory.
02:34Just because I'm on top of my game, um, he's getting the best version of me.
02:37Um, with Lomo, I think that, it's also another thing, I'm not as small as Lomachenko was.
02:45Like, uh, he may be the bigger fighter, but he's not just way bigger than me.
02:49I think with the Lomachenko fight, he was a lot bigger than Lomachenko.
02:53And, um, he instilled and his dad instilled fear inside of Lomachenko by constantly calling his name.
03:03And, um, I seen, I seen it within the way that Lomachenko fought.
03:07And I think that I don't, I don't have it.
03:09Like, I'm, I'm the type of guy that I, I take risks.
03:12I'm not scared of these moments.
03:15I'm not scared of this, this fight.
03:17I'm not scared of none of this.
03:18Um, I prepare myself to my whole capacity.
03:22And I know that come fight night, what I did in my preparation is going to show up.
03:26Shakur's father speaks out, condemning Teofimo's disrespectful comments, denying jealousy claims, and defending his son's pride and character.
03:34So, Teofimo's father was talking to my son's son about, yo, man, my son is this here.
03:40Oh, he's better than that Shakur, man.
03:42They give all this here Shakur guy.
03:44Now, Teofimo, he didn't know he was talking to my son.
03:46So, I walked up at the time, my son said, dad.
03:49He went, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
03:51So, my guy's going to tell him what he said.
03:52I didn't say that.
03:53I didn't say that.
03:54He said, well, let me tell you something, man.
03:56I give credit, you know, I've been to his house.
03:59You know, I have a great deal of respect for his mom, you know what I'm saying?
04:03You know, but in this here fighting world, when it comes to Shakur and myself, we done beat some of everybody.
04:09You know what I'm saying?
04:10So, we're not worried about what he's going to do, what he say.
04:13Like you say, he's very athletic.
04:15I think he's more acrobatic than athletic.
04:18You know what I'm saying?
04:19We see the acrobatics in the ring, you know what I'm saying?
04:22So, that's not a great deal of athleticism to me.
04:25So, I'm going to stand on that and say, this is another part of our legacy.
04:30Shakur grows heated during the live session, raising his voice, challenging critics, and showing intense emotion before the showdown.
04:37Head over heels.
04:38You don't got to worry about that.
04:40You focus in on me, B.
04:41Right now.
04:42Yes, you is.
04:43Yes, you is.
04:44That's why you acting like that.
04:45That's why you clowning, clown.
04:46He's mad about that.
04:47If you focus on my father, then it's a problem.
04:49Where's your dad?
04:50Yes, you are.
04:51Yes, you are.
04:52I actually bought him a present, though.
04:54I actually bought him a present.
04:56So, can you give him the present?
04:58Teofimo calls Shakur evil, claiming hidden fear and weakness, insisting those flaws will be exposed clearly on fight night.
05:05Do you see any weakness or anything that you might have just gotten under his skin where you sense any sort of fear?
05:12Oh, yeah.
05:13It'll show.
05:14I just got to rip it out.
05:16Just got to take it out from his soul.
05:18Show the real fear that he has inside him.
05:20You said he was doing some mind games in the press conference to get into your head.
05:24Do you feel like he got into your head?
05:25You stayed composed the whole time.
05:27Normally, you know, when people do that to you, you always stay composed.
05:30Do you feel like he got into your head with those mind games?
05:33What mind games were they doing?
05:34The gift for your dad, you know, talking to you.
05:36Oh, look how God works.
05:37I said it, though.
05:38Hewether believes the matchup between Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez is one of the most evenly balanced fights that can be made right now.
05:45In his view, this is not a contest with a clear favorite because both fighters bring elite skills and sharp ring intelligence.
05:52He calls it a true 50-50 fight where either man can win depending on adjustments, focus, and discipline on the night.
05:59Stevenson's defense, timing, and control of distance make him extremely difficult to hit clean.
06:04Lopez, on the other hand, carries explosive power, fast counters, and the kind of athleticism that can change a fight in a single moment.
06:12That contrast in styles is exactly why Mayweather expects an exciting contest for the fans.
06:17It's a great matchup, and I think that, to be honest, either guy can win.
06:23I do, I think this fight, this is one of the fights where I do believe that it's 50-50.
06:29And I think that it's hard to really say about what one's going to do and what the other's going to do, but I think that it's going to be a great fight for the fans.
06:46What do you think moving to 140 pounds really does to Stevenson's speed and power, if anything?
06:55Um, I don't think it's going to make that big a deal. I don't think it's going to make that big a deal.
07:01I think that, um, I mean, he's a young man. He's still growing.
07:06He's still growing now. He probably just don't have to cut as much weight as he used to, to make the weight class.
07:13Regarding the move to 140 pounds, Mayweather does not expect Stevenson's speed or power to suffer.
07:20He explains that Stevenson is still young and naturally growing, so cutting less weight could actually help his stamina and sharpness.
07:27Fighting closer to his natural size may even improve his durability and overall performance.
07:32If he were in Lopez's corner, Mayweather would demand smart pressure early, controlled aggression, and steady body work.
07:38He stresses patience and discipline, warning Lopez not to rush or chase recklessly.
07:43Instead, Lopez must cut off the ring and force Stevenson into uncomfortable exchanges.
07:48To be honest, I don't think nobody's going to get knocked out. I think it's just going to be a good fight.
07:52Um, a great tactical fight. Um, like I said, I think that, um, Shakur has, probably has the better defense.
08:05And, um, and Teofimo is probably a little bit bigger than him. I mean, he's been at the other weight. He's been at the weight longer, so.
08:20Which fighter, which fighter do you think has the higher ring IQ right now?
08:24Um, I think they both have pretty high ring IQ. They've both been in the ring. They've been fighting for since they were kids. So, I think that, I mean, if you're looking at a fighter that has won most of his fights.
08:44Pauly Malin-Aji and Chris Algieri describe Shakur Stevenson versus Teofimo Lopez as the kind of matchup that can create a household name.
08:53Pauly recalls sitting with family, watching fights together, and instantly recognizing certain stars.
08:58He wonders if the winner of this contest could become that familiar face for an entire generation.
09:03Algieri answers yes and no.
09:06Yes, because the magnitude feels right.
09:09Both fighters are young, in their primes, and willing to risk everything.
09:12Teofimo Lopez defends his championship, while Shakur Stevenson protects his undefeated record and reputation.
09:18They praise the skill level on both sides, calling them elite, top tier, and universally respected inside boxing circles.
09:25Algieri compares the clash to classic showdowns like Oscar De La Hoya versus Felix Trinidad, where talent meets ambition at the highest level.
09:32Still, their public profiles are not as massive.
09:35Might be that household guy for this generation.
09:38Is that fair or not?
09:39Stevenson?
09:40Yes and no.
09:41Yes, in terms of the magnitude of the matchup, it should be that, right?
09:44You got two guys that are in their primes who are still young, who are putting it all on the line.
09:48You've got Teofimo putting up his championship.
09:50You've got Shakur putting up his O, his undefeated record.
09:53You've got guys that, as the champ mentioned, universally recognized as being badass fighters.
09:59These guys are excellent, excellent, top notch, top tier guys.
10:03And fighting each other, you look at this like, almost like a De La Hoya Trinidad in terms of their skill sets, right?
10:08That's how you, but their profiles aren't as big.
10:10Oscar obviously was the gold medalist.
10:12You know, and Trinidad was, was Trinidad.
10:15Destroyer, right?
10:16He was the Terminator.
10:18These guys probably do deserve that, but this generation, I'm going to say it, is weird.
10:24Modern boxing culture favors clicks, drama, and viral moments over pure craft and discipline.
10:30Teofimo sometimes leans into that spotlight, trying to capture mainstream attention, though it has not always worked.
10:36Even so, the fight remains a purist's dream.
10:39Fighters, trainers, and hardcore fans are genuinely excited.
10:43For them, this is a true fighter's fight, built on skill, pride, and legacy.
10:48This matchup, it's an awesome fight.
10:50Awesome fight.
10:51And this is a fighter's fight.
10:53On Saturday night, you know how many fighters are going to be in the room?
10:56Boxers are excited for this fight.
10:58Fighters are excited for this fight.
10:59Promoters, managers, people are in the sport.
11:02Hardcores are 100% going to be there, they're going to turn up for it.
11:05And in terms of casuals, I think their names are big enough that people have heard it, and you're going to get that.
11:10I've had so many people stop me, like I'm out walking my dog and like, hey, what do you think about the big fight?
11:15I'm like, which one?
11:16We've got a lot of big fights.
11:17Please don't talk to me about UFC, because that's usually what I get.
11:19And they're like, oh, you know, Teo and Shakur.
11:21I'm like, oh man, well, yeah.
11:22Then we start talking.
11:23So, it is out there.
11:24It's not quite as big as some of the crossover fights we've had in the past.
11:28I remember Mayweather and McGregor.
11:30I couldn't take a flight where I didn't overhear people talking.
11:33I couldn't walk anywhere on the MMA side without hearing about it.
11:35It wasn't even, not even like they were asking me.
11:37I was just overhearing people talk about it.
11:39That was weird.
11:40That doesn't really happen.
11:41Alex and Sergio Mora break down Teofimo Lopez versus Shakur Stevenson with a sharp eye on style and strategy.
11:48They note that landing clean punches on Stevenson is extremely difficult.
11:52Stevenson has frustrated opponents since his Olympic days, making it nearly impossible to connect consistently.
11:57For Lopez, this means he must find a rhythm early, landing enough shots to activate his athleticism and confidence.
12:04When he starts flowing and touching, Lopez becomes a formidable force, especially against Southpaws.
12:10His two biggest wins came against Southpaws, although Stevenson presents a different challenge.
12:15Unlike Vasyl Lomachenko, Stevenson doesn't stay in front for easy angles.
12:19And unlike Josh Taylor, he's not a grinder.
12:22He's quick, elusive, and hard to catch, earning his status as a favorite.
12:26Or even laying a glove on Shakur.
12:28Shakur is frustrating.
12:29He's been doing that since the Olympics.
12:31It's hard to lay one punch on him, let alone two.
12:34See, Ophimo needs to be punching something in order for him to get his swag,
12:39to get his athleticism going.
12:41Because when he starts touching, when he starts going and really vibing,
12:44Teofimo's a beast.
12:46Especially against Southpaws.
12:48His two biggest wins are against Southpaws.
12:50Shakur's a Southpaw, but he's an in and out Southpaw.
12:53He's not a Lomachenko, stay in front of your face, getting angles Southpaw.
12:56He's not a grinder like Josh Taylor.
12:59This dude's a cheetah, and it's hard to catch cheetahs.
13:02And Shakur, I understand why he's a favorite.
13:05This dude's gonna be hard to beat.
13:07Yeah, I think people, or the odds makers at least,
13:10are probably looking at some recent Teofimo fights.
13:14Lopez excels against offensive fighters,
13:16but has struggled with defensive minded opponents.
13:19Like Sander Martin and Jermaine Ortiz.
13:21He is a natural counter puncher.
13:23Intelligent, athletic, and able to move in and out of range efficiently.
13:27Stevenson is expected to fight defensively.
13:30Maintaining distance, pot-shotting, and targeting the body,
13:33sticking to the style that has made him successful for most of his career.
13:36Unlike against William Zepeda,
13:38where Stevenson proved critics wrong by standing his ground,
13:41this fight will likely see him control the range,
13:44frustrate Lopez, and force him out of his comfort zone.
13:47This analysis highlights the tactical chess match fans can expect.
13:50Uh, Sander Martin, a very defensive minded fighter.
13:54Teofimo struggled against him.
13:55Jermaine Ortiz, who fought a very defensive minded fight.
13:59That was a tough fight for Teofimo.
14:01If you're an offensive oriented fighter,
14:03even a great one like a Lomachenko or like a Josh Taylor,
14:08Teofimo tends to have a lot of success with you.
14:10He is a natural counter puncher who is really athletic.
14:13So he can get out of range quickly, throw those counter shots.
14:16He's very intelligent in the ring,
14:18gets more intelligence seems with every fight.
14:20But if you're a defensive minded guy that forces Teofimo to come forward,
14:24that's when he gets out of his comfort zone.
14:26I think that's how Shakur is going to fight.
14:28Like I remember the opening press conference where it seemed like Teofimo senior
14:33was trying to goad Shakur into fighting more like he did against William Zepeda.
14:37I don't think that's going to happen to you.
14:39I think Shakur is going to go back into that mode.
14:43Shakur Stevenson's coach addressed the heated confrontation with Teofimo Lopez senior at the morning weigh-ins,
14:50emphasizing professionalism and leadership.
14:52He explained that his grandson, Shakur,
14:54is a grown man capable of representing himself and his family with dignity.
14:58The coach criticized situations where fathers, uncles, or cousins insert themselves negatively,
15:04noting that it can impact others mentally and even physically.
15:07He stressed that at Teofimo senior's age, greater professionalism and self-control are expected.
15:12Despite the tension, the coach acknowledged Teofimo senior as a genuinely good person personally,
15:17but emphasized that failing to guide or correct a son's negative behavior reflects poorly on leadership.
15:23He concluded by expressing focus on the fight while expecting respect and proper conduct from all parties involved.
15:29You know, I think that's why, you know, I don't try to be out there like that, man.
15:34I feel like my grandson is a grown man.
15:37He can speak for himself.
15:39He's been taught to represent himself and his family very well.
15:42So, you know, when you get those aspects when maybe like fathers, cousins or uncles or whatever,
15:49you know, have a tendency to put their self in a situation at the time and, you know,
15:56and it's not in a positive manner, you know.
15:59Somehow, that time, that reflect on them mentally and hopefully not physically.
16:04So, you know, we're looking forward to, you know, situations get like that.
16:08But at this point, I think you're actually supposed to be more professional.
16:12And, you know, at this point, what you have.
16:15Chris Algieri gives a detailed full preview of Teofimo Lopez versus Shakur Stevenson,
16:20emphasizing the stakes and styles of the fight.
16:23He notes that Lopez is highly motivated, wanting not only the victory,
16:27but also the recognition that comes with beating an elite fighter like Stevenson.
16:31For Lopez, this win would solidify his position in boxing, both financially and in terms of legacy.
16:37Stevenson has been nearly unbeatable in his career.
16:40Very few opponents have come close to testing him.
16:43William Zepeda had some good rounds, but that was largely because Stevenson was momentarily pressured
16:48and forced to fight under duress.
16:50Algieri points out that any win over Stevenson would likely be the biggest of Lopez's career,
16:55surpassing even his victory over Vasil Lomachenko.
16:58So over the last year, he was easily the cringiest guy on social media in boxing.
17:03And that's saying a lot.
17:04I believe he is really locked in.
17:06And I believe he really wants this dub because he could solidify a lot of things for himself
17:11in terms of money going forward and also being the best.
17:14Like saying, I beat Shakur Stevenson, who no one really has come close.
17:18Like who has come close to beating Shakur Stevenson?
17:20Zepeda had a few good rounds, and that's because I think Shakur was like almost backed into a corner
17:26and had to legit fight his way out and prove to everyone that it can be an entertaining fight.
17:31Who has come even remotely close to beating Shakur Stevenson in his career?
17:36And if Teofimo can do that, that's a freaking huge win.
17:40That's a way bigger win than the Lomachenko win.
17:43Yeah, I agree.
17:44This would be the biggest fight, the biggest win of Teofimo's career.
17:50And when you ask like, oh, who has come close?
17:52No one.
17:53No one's come close.
17:54Stevenson is known for neutralizing dangerous opponents by controlling the pace,
17:58shutting down their strengths, and forcing them into uncomfortable exchanges.
18:02His fights against Oscar Valdez and other top fighters show how he dominates with intelligence,
18:07timing, and precision rather than pure aggression.
18:10Lopez, meanwhile, comes into this fight off a unanimous decision win over Arnold Barbosa last May in Times Square,
18:16marking a lengthy layoff.
18:17He has the power, athleticism, and counterpunching ability to challenge Stevenson,
18:22but he must find rhythm early and avoid falling into Stevenson's defensive trap.
18:26This fight promises a high-level tactical battle between speed, skill, and strategic execution.
18:32Shakur did a great job of disarming a very dangerous guy.
18:35And, you know, that's the level that we're talking about with Shakur.
18:39And that's what I was saying about before.
18:40It's like he needs a dance partner so he can shut your guys off.
18:43I remember with Oscar Valdez.
18:45Oscar Valdez was the guy, you know, when Shakur completely dominated him.
18:50Put him down, controlled him, shut him off.
18:53That's just the way that he fights.
18:56So, being able to beat that guy now, oof, that's a huge, huge feather in the cap.
19:03That is the cap.
19:04Yeah, it is the cap for sure.
19:06Let's go over to Teofimo's last five fights.
19:08He's coming off of a unanimous decision win over Arnold Barbosa.
19:12That was at Times Square.
19:14That was in May of last year.
19:15So, pretty lengthy layoff for Teofimo.
19:17I would like to see him fight one more time this year.
19:19Or last year, I should say.
19:20But he was, you know, getting himself in fights, out of fights.
19:24He was going to fight Boots.
19:25He was going to try to fight Crawford.
19:26He was going to try to fight Haney.
19:27That's it for today's video.
19:29Stay tuned until next time.
19:30And until next time.
