The Shift in Teofimo Lopez: A Sudden Change of Towards Shakur Stevenson

Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson Were Talking Nice to One Another On Social Media Today, Talking About Their Potential Fight. Lopez (22-1, 13 Kos) Confirmed With Shakur (24-0, 11 Kos) That Will Be Fighting.

A New Tone For Teofimo

It was out of Character to be trash-talking shakur, but it could wore about Him Bragging About How The Ring Ranked Him # 1 At the Lightweight, And the Dared The Take To Top Spot From Him.

Several Fighters at 135 Would Take The # 1 spot from Shakur IF He Were Only Willing To Fight Them. If Hey Were Wereing To Take All Comers His Top Spot, He’d Have To Deal With The Big Four That could ruin the hard work His Promoters Have Building His Career: Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla, Abdullah Mason, and Floyd Schofield.

Eddie Hearn’s Protective Stance

The Way I See It, Shakur Is Going To Those Four Lightweights, And Teofimo Is Aware That. Once That Happens, His Value Will Plummet, And He’ll Be Little Use To Him. Shakur’s Promoter, Eddie Hearn, has a bang-up Job Steering Shakur Around Those Four. But That Can’t Go On Forever.

“Kicked The Door Down and Took My # 1 Spot. Now tell me some TELLEBODY Come from me,” Said on Shakur XReveling in His High Ranking in The Ring Lightweight rankings.

For Lopez to Tell That Will Be Fighting, The Timing of This Suggests to Some Fans On Social Media That He’s Concerned About This Fight. Teofimo Doesn’t Have Anything To Worry About Shakur Isn’t About Any Of The Top Guys.

Shakur’s Promoter, Hearn, Who Also Promotes Andy Cruz, has Never Shown Any Interest in Matching Them. It’s Obvious to Some Fans That Hearn Doesn’t Want The More Marketable Fighter, Shakur, to Lose to Cruz.
