Waiting on a ghost: Stevenson’s Public Plea to Teofimo Lopez X

Shakur Stevenson Is Still Stubbornly Holding Out Hope That Teofimo Lopez Will Take An Interest in Fighting Him Next. Stevenson (24-0, 11 kos) Says He’ll Fight Lamont Roach If Teofimo (22-1, 13 Kos) “Doesn’t accept the Fight “ With Him.

A Desperate Hope

Stevenson is waiting and hoping that Lopez will have the Fighting That He’s Been Asking. It’s Obvious to The Fans and to this Writer That’s Not Happening. Lopez has not been interested in Fighting Shakur.

I’ve Seen A Million Times. When Someone Is Not Interested, They Give You The Silent Treatment, Just Like Teofimo Is Doing With Shakur. Teo Should Led Stevenson on The First Place, Giving Him False Hope by X, “After I Whoop Stevenson and Make Him Cry Like The Lil B **** He is Ryan Garcia.”

Lamont Was Getting For The Rematch So HE Gone Have A Between Fight and Then Fight Me Top Of The Year .. But It’s Only IF Doesn’t Accept The Fight Tho https://t.co/yqr0eitwco

Just That Little Trash-Talking Line Teofimo Was Enough to Get Shakur All Anxious, Making Him Believe That He Was Interested In Fighting. Shakur Tok Those Words To Heart, Twisting Them in His Mind to Think That It’s A Real Chance. ‘ It’s pretty funny, but it’s reveealing about Stevenson at The Same Time. It Shows How Desperate He’s Betome to Get That Payday Against Lopez.

The Silent Treatment

Teofimo’s Silence is a Clear Signal: ‘I’m Not Interested.’ I Don’t Know Why Shakur Can’t See The Truth.

Initially, Lopez May Have Interested in Fighting Shakur, But the Judges How the Judges Handled William Zepeda, It Had To Have a Wake-Up Call To Him. It Doesn’t Matter How Many Punches Teofimo Lands; He’s Not Getting A Decision Against Shakur.

The Zepeda Warning

Zepeda Buried Shakur with His High-Volume Punching in Their Fight on July 12th in Queens, Outlanding Him in Every Round Of The Fight. When it was over, Zepeda Lost by a 12-round Unanimous Decision by These Scores: 118-110, 118-110, and 119-109. Those scores looked Like They Belonged to An Entirely Different Fight. I Was at Ringside and Scored Every for Zepeda. It was a total mismatch. Shakur looked Like a Human Pincushion, Taking Nonstop Shots for the Ropes for 12 rounds.

IF ZEPEDA (32-1) Could Get A Decision Despite Outlanding Shakur, Teofimo Would Stand No Chance of Winning Than Than Knockout; Hence, The Silent Treatment From Him. Can You Blame Teo?

The Problem With Shakur Using Lamont Roach As His It’s Not A Big Enough Fight Franci Fans, Which Means He Won’t Attract Interest From Turkey AlaShikh to Pay Gazillions. It’s a Jerry vs. Jerry Type of Fight. That’s a Cup of Poison For Fans, And They’re Not Going To Want Anything To Do It.
