This isn’t just another title fight — it’s a clash of styles, personalities, and philosophies that could reshape the pound-for-pound conversation.
Madison Square Garden has hosted legends for generations, and this matchup fits squarely into that history. Lopez brings explosive power, unpredictability, and championship pedigree. Stevenson arrives with elite defense, surgical accuracy, and a reputation for controlling fights at will.
It’s a classic boxing equation:
Who dictates the pace decides the night.
Both fighters are at a pivotal point in their careers. A win here isn’t just about belts — it’s about legacy positioning. This bout answers long-standing questions fans have debated for years:
