Shakur Stevenson’s Press Conference Warning to Teofimo Lopez: “If I Smack U, I’m Wrong”

Shakur Stevenson reacted to Teofimo Lopez’s Post Today About Making Him Cry After He “Whoops” Him, and Announcing His Next Target, Ryan Garcia. Stevenson responded by saying that it would be in the wrongfriend IF Hey to “smack” Him at The Press Conference.

Shakur’s reaction to insults

Would Be Entirely Out of Character to Shakur “Smack” Lopez At A Press Conference. IF It’s Forgos For Theater Purposes to Create Hype in A WWE-ISH Manner, A Slap Would Work To Create.

Fans Laughed at Stevenson On Social Media About Him Trying to Sound Aggressive and Stand On His Hind Legs. Would Only Be Happy IF and Teofimo Planned It Out Like A Stage Production.

Shakur’s Comment About Slapping Lopez A Press Conference Suggests HE’s Getting Of Himead. The Fight hasn’t Signed, and May Not Happen. If The Money Isn’t There, It Wo’t Happen.

The Main Reason Stevenson Wouldn’t Slap Teofimo Is’d be So Grateful That He’s Given Him The Opportunity For The Payday. He’d Feel Indebted To Teo. Shakur has been begging for this Fight A Long, Long Time. The Last Thing He’d want to do is the Bite That Hand That Feeds.

Teofimo Had Confirmed With His Post That He Still Plans Fighting Shakur (24-0, 11 Kos) Next, Despite Being Called by Ryan Today.

Stevenson Should Be Happy That Lopez Is Still Interested in Fighting Him, Because A Clash Against Kingry Would Be A Bigger One in Terms of Payday. That would still depend on Turki alaleshikh.

Financial Stakes of the Fight

Perhaps, He’d Be Willing To Overpay For The Lopez vs. Garcia Match in The Same Way He’s Doing With The Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford Fight. That’s a Fight For Asking For Asking, And It Won’t Bring In The Same Money That Is Being Paid Out.

So, IF Turki Is Willing To The Lopez-Shakur Fight, It Would Be Bigger Than A Lopez vs. Garcia Fight. It just comes to popularity; The Garcia Match is Theofimo for Bigger Payday.

See now I smack u At The Press Conference Im wrong https://t.co/csxnobbhf5
