Declaration of Excellence

In other words, Shakur (24-0, 11 Cos) declares himself that he is superior to Tudaimo (22-1, 13 Cos). By speaking as if it is imperative to defeat Lopez to become the world champion of four sections and champion of Range magazine, he puts himself as a side A is still in the match that is still signed.

The trap mode for Teo

With this dwarf post, Teofimo is forced to shoot. When he does, Stephenson will appear that his position has worked in his mind and disturbing him. If Lopez does not say anything, then this will indicate that he is indifferent, not affected and mentally strong.

“This is not even my real scourge for weight. Shakur said about him, fighting Tudaimo in 140.

The built -in escape path

What Shakur does with this comment is to put the stage for use as a file Integrated excuse If he lost to Lopez. If he is beaten, he can tell his fans that he was fighting outside his weight in 140, and tries to be great.

So when I beat Tio and became 4 world champion in the world and Ring magazine’s hero in 140, this is not even my true description of my weight. What did you say after that? 😈

There will be enough sympathetic fans to give Shakur a free pass after the TEO loss, and its popularity will not be fulfilled. It is a position in which Stephenson comes out forward. It is a victory. If Lopez is defeated, he will get a full balance and the fans will celebrate it. If he loses, he has obtained a built -in excuse to fight outside the normal weight category, which reached 135.

Ideally, Shakur should not have to create an early excuse if he loses in front of Lopez. But when you get your salary salaries by Turki Alalshiph to fight on his card, it is important to have an excuse if things are going badly against Tio. Using an excuse for weight to avoid the inevitable reaction may work.
