Terence Crawford makes Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson prediction
Ring VI: López vs Stevenson on DAZN PPV - Saturday

The first mega-fight of 2026 goes on Saturday night from the sold-out Madison Square Garden, live globally on DAZN PPV, as Ring Magazine and WBO super lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez locks horns with the WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson.

A fight of this magnitude deserves a prediction from the former pound-for-pound great and three-division undisputed champion Terence Crawford.

Crawford, who is in town to support his friend and former training partner in Stevenson, spoke to DAZN after Thursday's hotly debated press conference. When asked who he is picking in the main event, there was no hesitation.

"Teofimo is a good fighter," Crawford told DAZN's Todd Grisham. "He's very talented. He's very athletic. He's always rose to the occasion in these big moments like this. But Shakur is just on a whole other level, and this Saturday, he's going to prove it."

Two of Lopez's biggest wins are against southpaws in Vasiliy Lomachenko and Josh Taylor. It's another big fight and Lopez is yet again facing a southpaw, perhaps the premier southpaw in all of boxing. 

"Teofimo has done real well against southpaws," Crawford explained. "But Shakur has done real well against orthodox fighters. Shakur is not the average southpaw that Teofimo has been fighting. That's why I say Shakur's levels above those fighters he's been fighting."

Get Ring 6 PPV included with DAZN Ultimate Tier for major savings

DAZN's Ultimate Tier subscription package includes a minimum of 12 PPVs a year, on top of the regular 185 fight nights offering.

Therefore, signing up to DAZN Ultimate Tier would include Ring 6: Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson PPV, and the Mario Barrios vs. Ryan Garcia PPV on February 21. This means you would not need to purchase these PPVs individually at an extra cost. 

Better still, more DAZN PPV events are expected to be revealed soon, which would also be included in the DAZN Ultimate Tier.

US customers can sign up for Ultimate Tier now for   $44.99 per month.  UK customers can subscribe for £24.99 per month.

Based on buying 12 PPVs per year, having an Ultimate Tier subscription instead can save $535 / £320 a year alone**. 

**Savings calculated by comparing 12 months of DAZN Monthly Flex plus 12 pay-per-view events per year against 12 months of DAZN Ultimate at launch price.
