Shakur Stevenson has shared his opinion on who he thinks will walk away as the Undisputed Lightweight Champion this Sunday. Devin Haney and George Kambosos Jr. will fight for all the relevant belts in the division at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.

Stevenson stated in a tweet:

"I'm thinking Devin late stoppage.. like 10-11th round. I feel like early he gone out box em then late he gone beat him up."

A fan argued that they didn't see how Haney would be able to knock out a bigger 135lbs fighter, to which Stevenson responded:

"Styles make fights I think Devin will beat him up tbh.. And the ref will jump in plus Devin can punch better than y'all think!"

Devin Haney showed off his fast hands during the open workout session in Melbourne ahead of his match with 'Ferocious'. 'The Dream' has a record of 27-0 with 15 KOs, lending credit to Stevenson's analysis of Haney's punching power and stoppage abilities.

Haney is up against another undefeated fighter in George Kambosos Jr. The Australian totes a record of 20-0, with half of his wins coming by way of knockout. While both are skilled punchers, Stevenson has sided with Haney's experience, technique, and ability to tread in deep waters late into the fight.
