Theofimo Lopez apparently agreed to a fight against Shakur Stevenson. In a cryptic post on social media, WBO Light Welterweight champion Lopez responded to Stevenson’s request to send the ‘paperwork’ by saying“Well.” He marked J. Prince and Dragons, which could be interpreted that he was serious.

Ignore the doubles
Shakur (24-0, 11 food) called Lopez on Friday with the phrase: “Let’s make boxing wonderful again.” Which can be decoded to mean, “I want to get a big paydayAnd you are my best option. ‘
Despite the “let’s box good” good, Stevenson did not show much interest in defending against his number 1 outdoor, Andy cruzor #3 Herrera Cores. Those fights will not bring him the kind of money he can fight against theofimo. Therefore, you can ignore: ‘Let’s get boxed again’, double -species.
If it really was to make the sport ‘wonderful’, Stevenson would face the Olympic gold medal in 2020 Andy Cruz. He is seen as the number 1 -man in the lightweight section now by many fans.
Fans are naturally skeptical about Theofimo’s seriousness with the fight against Shakur. Teo has already rejected what would have been a massive payday against Devin Haney recently. To reject the battle, it shows that Lopez is not desperate for money. He has a big $ 10 million Purse for his last battle against Arnold Barboza jr. On May 2. So he is not in a position where he has to fight Shakur and chase him around the ring for 12 rounds.
Luring theofimo
Turki Alalshikh may attract theofimo to fight Stevenson with a large offer, but it will have to be essentially for him to through the trial of a Tom and Jerry fight.
Stevenson fought his back against the ropes on July 12 for his entire fight against William Zepeda. However, it was against a volume puncher with nowhere near the power or hand speed that theofimo owned. Teen Teo will shakur undergo a recoveryand return to its normal Jerry-Esque style.
