Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson Preview & Picks
Shakur Stevenson is tipped to win the WBO super-lightweight title.
Stevenson’s speed and movement can be the difference here as he produces a disciplined and slick performance to earn the decision win.
- Shakur Stevenson has won all 24 of his professional fights so far
- 5 of Shakur Stevenson’s last 7 wins have been via decision
- Teofimo Lopez’s only previous defeat came on points
- 7 of Teofimo Lopez’s last 8 fights have gone the distance
Teofimo Lopez Form
Teofimo Lopez is the defending Ring Magazine and WBO super-lightweight champion with a professional record of 22-1 (13 KOs).
Lopez made his debut back in November 2016 and won each of his first 14 professional contests to earn his first crack at a world title.
He took that shot in December 2019 as he took out Richard Clomney in just over four minutes to claim the IBF lightweight crown.
The 28-year-old New Yorker added the WBA (Super), WBO and Ring Magazine titles in his very next fight, beating Vasiliy Lomachenko on points, but surrendered those titles in November 2021 as he dropped a split decision to George Kambosos Jr.
Lopez moved up to super-lightweight after that contest and quickly earned himself a world title fight as he beat Sandor Martin via split decision.
He then became a two-weight world champion in June 2023 as he took down Josh Taylor on points to claim the WBO and Ring Magazine titles.
Since then the American has reeled off three consecutive defences of those crowns, starting with a unanimous decision victory over Jamaine Ortiz in February 2024.
Lopez then beat Steve Claggett on points four months later, before downing Arnold Barboza Jr via unanimous decision in his only outing of 2025.
Shakur Stevenson Form
Shakur Stevenson is a former world featherweight, super-featherweight and lightweight world champion with a perfect record of 24-0 (11 KOs).
Stevenson entered the professional ranks in April 2017 and won his first 12 bouts to secure a first world title fight in October 2019.
He claimed the WBO featherweight crown with a unanimous decision win over Joet Gonzalez, but would not go on to defend that championship.
Instead the 28-year-old American knocked out Felix Caraballo in the sixth and beat Toka Khan Clary on points to secure a bout for the interim WBO super-featherweight crown, and then claimed that belt with a unanimous decision win over Jeremiah Nakathila.
Stevenson then became the full champion as he dethroned Jamel Herring by 10th round TKO, before adding the WBC and Ring Magazine titles with a points win over Oscar Valdez.
He failed to make weight for his next outing, costing him the titles, but he was able to beat Robson Conceicao on points, before knocking out Shuichiro Yoshino in the sixth.
The American became a three-weight world champion in November 2023 as he beat Edwin De Los Antos via decision to claim the WBC lightweight title, and in his only outing of 2024 he retained the belt with a points success against Artem Harutyunyan.
Stevenson successfully defended the championship twice more in 2025, following up a ninth round knockout of Josh Padley with a unanimous decision victory over William Zepeda.
Verdict
Teofimo Lopez has had his problems with fighters that move around the ring, and that is a problem.
Combine Stevenson’s movement with his slick boxing skills and you have the recipe for a world title change here.
