Teofimo Lopez posts cryptic tweet after Haney’s Stevenson claim

Former unified champion responds after Devin Haney suggested Shakur Stevenson could have forced a stoppage

Teofimo Lopez pushed back after Devin Haney questioned how his fight with Shakur Stevenson unfolded. The former unified champion rejected the idea that he was ever close to being stopped.

Haney recently argued that Stevenson could have ended the fight earlier if he had pressed the attack. According to Haney’s view, Stevenson had Lopez hurt but chose to stay disciplined rather than chase a knockout.

Lopez responded on social media with a brief message aimed at the growing narrative around the fight.

“Don’t let them fool YAH,” Lopez posted.

Stevenson won the bout by clear decision after twelve rounds built on his jab, footwork, and range control. Lopez spent the fight trying to close distance and land power shots, but Stevenson kept the exchanges short and turned him before combinations could develop.

Despite the wide scorecards, Lopez never appeared close to hitting the canvas. He took Stevenson’s clean punches and continued pressing forward through the final round.

Lopez’s response makes his position clear. He rejects the idea that the fight ever moved into territory where a stoppage was realistic.

The discussion keeps the spotlight on Stevenson’s performance and how dominant the victory actually was. For Lopez, the message is simple: the fight ended with him still on his feet.
