Stevenson Outclasses Lopez, Becomes A Four-Division Champion

Shakur Stevenson outclassed Teofimo Lopez to become a four-division world champion.

Stevenson walked away with the WBO and Ring Magazine super lightweight titles with a 119-109 unanimous decision across all three scorecards. From the opening bell, Stevenson established a pace that Lopez simply could not match. He utilized his jab by tagging Lopez, whose punches continuously fell short. By the middle rounds, Lopez was sporting a nasty cut over his left eye, a direct result of Stevenson’s jab.

Lopez’s best moment came in Round 8, where he finally managed to break through Stevenson’s guard with a heavy right hand. Shakur quickly shut the door in the 9th, resetting the distance and resuming his jab. In the 12th round, Stevenson landed a stinging left-right combination that had Lopez off-balance to cap off a flawless performance. After the fight, Conor Benn joined Shakur in the ring as they traded verbals over a future fight.
