Stevenson Breezes Past Lopez, Wins WBO/Ring 140 lb Titles

Shakur Stevenson performed a master class Saturday night in front of a sold-out Madison Square Garden, as he toyed with Teofimo Lopez over twelve one-sided rounds.

Stevenson controlled the distance with the jab and often walked Lopez into his lefts. Lopez had trouble getting on the inside but did try to utilize body work to do the job.

A left-right to the body and head almost caused Lopez’ glove to touch the canvas in the fourth. Lopez continued to struggle with the rhythm and boxing IQ of Stevenson.
