It seems quite obvious to fans WBC Lightweight Stevenson (23-0, 11 kos) champion do this to avoid his mandatory #1, Andy CruzWho breathes on your neck and knockout performer # 10 Herrer nucleiS

Both Cuban talent wants the title launched against Shakur at 135, but he still tries to run to the 140 -pound division to fight the WBO heavyweight champion Theophim Lopez. What does this say about Newark -born, New Jersey Stevenson? It seems to me that Shakur does not like the heat he is given by these former Cuban amateur talents and is looking to escape.

Non -compliance

Theophimo is too big and powerful for Shakur Stevenson. We just saw him fight against the electric Josh falls Last month, showing no power and barely managed to take out the boxer part -time in the ninth round on February 22.

Shakur's opposition was disturbing after his fight against Edwin de Los Santos in 2023. In the previous Stevenson match, before falling, he fought with the non -refurbctor Artem Harunyan, a fighter who came out of the loss of Frank Martin and an annual dismissal.

Physical Shakur is not designed to fight boys like Theophim Lopez or someone with a decent power of 140. If you put it with Theo, Gary Antuan Russell or Richardson Hitchins, it will end bad for him.

Matches Eddie Hearn's dreams The creation of a mega battle with Gervanta Davis would disappear. He had no choice but to throw away Shakur because he wouldn't sign him again for the expensive work of Anthony Joshua-Eska with four matches. This will not work anyway because the boxing Public are not complete foolsS

If Shakur moves to 140, his problems are solved. He should not worry about Cruz and Erera, as the best of 15 WBO charts at 140 are weak when you exceed Teofimo and Arnold Barboza Jr.
