MCGIRT warns Shakur Stevenson: Potshots will not overcome Teofimo

The Buddy McGIrt coach argues that Shakur Stephenson cannot rely on his usual fighting style when he ascends against Tudaimo Lopez in his planned match in early 2026.

Why is the perforation in size necessary

Teofimo (22-1, 13 KOS) is also a Potshot fighter, but it is larger. It also does not have fragile hands like Newark, New Jersey Mative Shakur (24-0, 11 Kos). If their battle includes a tactical battle, Lopez will be victorious because Stephenson’s weakest footage will not impress the judges.

McGIRT says that, for Shekor to Teofimo, the WBO Lightweight champion, will need to focus on burning in size.

The main problem is that Stevenson never had a high production Amateurs or professional. It is the fighting template Floyd Mayweather Junior, and it may be impossible for Shakur to change his style in 28 after all these years of using this approach.

“Shakur had to throw more punches and control the battle. He could not rely on the footage and expects each round clearly wins against a person like Tudaimo.” Millcity boxing About Shakur Stevenson needs to increase his production of a punch to defeat Topimo Lopez in 2026.

Can Stefenson change his DNA?

Throw one shot each time Now in the DNA Stevenson. If Shakur tries to stay away from this pattern against the most powerful teofimo, it may come out. Stephenson will break as a fighter to change what is in his mental symbol.

We saw what happened to Hakor when William Zebida stood and fought in their battle on July 12, 2025, in Queens, New York. Zepeda worked for him on ropes, and he fell countless shots.

What was interesting in that battle, along with the strange registration in favor of Shakur, who does not match the actual competition, is how Zebida seemed to fall in the third round. The referee not only failed his judgment on a fatal blow, but the judges gave Shakur the tour. Zebida Stevenson worked on the entire tour, where she cleared him with machine guns, only to register the tour against him

“If Shakur wants to show that he is the best, It should increase the sound level, Close these strong tours. “He got the skills, but he must let his hands go more to make them uninterrupted,” McGirt said.

Nation Vegas Take: Shakur is usually buried

Shakour is physically and mentally unable to intensify the sound level without being cleaned by Tudaimo and left in dirt. It would be a suicide to use Stephenson size against Teo. This style is a dead end to Shakour, and they will pick up the broken pieces of it if he tries to use it.

If Buddy is in his corner, and orders him to accuse any man to face Lopez on the open ground, he will be separated by the strong Brooklyn, New York. Stevenson against Zebida showed that he had no chin to take a harsh head when he does not wander in his head, and hide his head like an ostrich.

Shakur is lucky for McGart is not his coach because he would expel him if he pushed him to go in the attack, using the folder against Lopez. The only way in which Stephensson can fight the same running approach to winning a unanimous decision of 12 rounds against Edwin de Los Santos on November 16, 2023.
