Teofimo Lopez responded to Shakur Stevenson’s negative Lil Dude referring to him, saying that the SNAC would not help him when they fight in January.
This is the first time that WBO lightweight weight champion Teofimo (22-1, 13 Kos) has given the date when he wants to fight Shakur. We will see if Stevenson is ready to fight Lopez in the stationary one -on -one style, as he acted with his last opponent, William Zeped, on July 12. Shakur hit a lot in this fight, well over 300 times. These were not the shots he blocked unless you count from the body that is blocked.
Turks value for their millions
It will still require the Turkish Alalshikh to come with money for Lopez and Stevenson (24-0, 11 kos) to fight. Teo will not agree to reduce their salary from $ 10 million, which he received for his title protection against Arnold Barboza’s latest on May 2.
With the money that Alalshikh will pay for Shakur, he won’t want him to turn on a Jerry-esque Performance to run around the ring in 12 rounds. He will want the millions he pays Stevenson, and he is right to wait. It would look so bad if Shakur was pulled out of the place that night if he chose to run. I see the Turks in the front row, stew with anger at the spectacle. He will probably tell himself, “I needed to know better than using Shakur.”
You have to be happy to be happy that Lopez now says openly that he plans to fight with him. He has been a continuous step for the last two weeks, which is a step to get a payday.
Stevenson’s focus on payday
Stevenson prefers to find money instead of defending his WBC lightweight title against his three best contenders:
- Andy Cruise
- Ricardo Nunez
- Herrer’s cores
“SNAC won’t help you.”
“It will feel good when this” lil dude “makes you your” lil b *** “in January! I suggest you take everything possible SNAC and even it won’t help,” said Teofimo Lopez UnhinderedRelaxation of Shakur Stevenson’s comment.
