What's going on with Tevin Farmer?

[Inspired]

When he lost to Diaz, something was clearly wrong with him during the fight. It looked like he was having a seizure. Diaz even told him he could have a rematch if he wanted it. I know Eddie's become very cutthroat in the US market eg the way he binned off Anthony Sims jr, but the annoying **** doesn't even acknowledge their existence once he's through with them. He'll only give them a second thought if they become relevant again.
He was a very active fighter and already had a lot of Ls on his record so one more loss wasnt a big deal to me.. Would have liked to have seen him vs Gary Russel jr at least. What is up with him? It's now over 21 months since he lost to Diaz.

No clue and I don't care to see him again. He had a spoiler-ish style and the only value he had was his belt.

[just the facts]

Not really a championship caliber fighter and not very marketable either.

Mate, his style is remincscient of Pernell Whittaker. He's one of them boxers I like to watch and no, his value was not the belt. It was his style. He's one of them proper boxers who's come from the bottom and worked hard to improve, becoming one of the most unique boxers out there. He lacked offense vs Jojo diaz but something was wrong with him since.
I wanted to see a comeback.

also, one of the issues with american boxing in general is the obsession with winners. Eddie hearn was not like that in the UK but he's become like that in the US. over here he supports dave allen, ted cheeseman, anthony fowler, guys with Ls. They're your ave saturday night matchroom card fodder.
if Farmer vs fighting on an undercard of any random show, im certain you would watch that fight. I would stay up till 6am to watch a Farmer fight (i say that because i have done)/

well, those type of fighters are usually well liked by promoters because they help boost cards as undercard fighters that don't cost a lot. Farmer is well known amongst boxing fans so any farmer fight is a good fight.
Eddie hearn usually likes them guys. He's putting on liam smith vs jesse vargas soon, i mean that's going to be a main event fight next year.


Has farmer said anything since that fight? eddie was never even asked about tevin farmer again since that fight. not even a 'could you tell us what's going on with tevin farmer?'

A couple nights ago on Twitter he posted he'll be making a comeback.

No it isn’t. You’ve clearly watched very little of Sweet Pea if you think that.

If Whitaker had no pop and like 5% of the talent then you’d get Tevin Farmer.

I told everyone on this site JoJo would smash him up, put a lot of money on it too. Farmer was overhyped cause he was schooling C/D level guys. He’s not some defensive wizard, he’s not even that difficult to hit- as Diaz showed.

I forgot how mental these Farmer-Whitaker comparisons were…

Exactly this. He’s like a lower end top 10 guy, now he’s lost the belt, there’s little interest.

I hear you, I put some money on Diaz that night also. Tevin and Hurd seem more interested as showcasing their lifestyle on IG than anything else at the moment.

before that loss, there was a ton of hype around him and that inc lou dibella making the whittaker comparison. doesnt mean he was in that level but more like 'shades of ali' lmao.
i loved farmer's defensive skillset. though.
still one loss, not even a singke mention since. its more an american gloryhunting problem that.
