Shakur Stevenson produced a long-awaited masterclass at the elite level on Saturday, dethroning Teofimo Lopez with a near-flawless performance in New York City.
Inside the iconic Madison Square Garden, it was New Jersey’s Stevenson versus Brooklyn’s Lopez, with the latter defending the WBO super-lightweight title. And the controversial Lopez, 28, was shown up by the smaller man in Stevenson, also 28, who won 11 out of 12 rounds on all three judges’ scorecards.
