""Finally, somebody took the bait,""
""I've been begging for this moment and I finally got it.""
Shakur Stevenson moved up in weight to defeat Teofimo Lopez Jr. and capture the WBO junior welterweight title in front of 21,324 fans at Madison Square Garden. Stevenson lost only one round across all three judges' scorecards and improved his record to 25-0 (11 KOs). Stevenson rose past peers once considered boxing's 'Four Kings' and became a four-division champion. He previously conceded weight, money and headlining spots to prove himself. Potential next paths include attempting undisputed status at 140 pounds against Richardson Hitchins, Gary Antuanne Russell or Dalton Smith, or taking a risky move to face Conor Benn.
