Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson Predictions

Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson clash for the WBO welterweight title and pound-for-pound supremacy from Madison Square Garden. Styles make fights. Stevenson, 24-0, 11 KOs, with a reach of a 5’10” fighter, will be facing the short-armed Lopez, whose reach is equivalent to a 5’6” pugilist. Expect the always disciplined Stevenson to use his longer reach to control distance behind the jab. Lopez, 22-1, 13 KOs, is a natural counterpuncher who showed in his loss to George Kambosos that he is not at his best when applying pressure rather than utilizing his counterpunching skills. Lopez also has a technical flaw where he often loads up punches and leaves himself off balance, which the sniper-like counterpuncher Stevenson will capitalize on. The secret x-factor in this one will be Lopez’s childhood trainer, Milton LaCroix, missing in the corner after being in his last two fights against Arnold Barbosa Jr. and Josh Taylor.
