Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Shakes Head at Facing Teofimo Lopez: He Got Beat Up By Kambosos

[breeto80]

Lopez blew it. He was a 10-1 favourite and he got whooped. He got pummelled. He deserves to get to the end of the line.

Teo needs to fight the other young lightweights and gain experience. Dude look like sht his last two fights. He need to quit making excuses and learn from his flaws..too flat footed, wide punches, no jab, follows the opponents around the ring instead of cutting it off and his defense is straight garbage why tf is he even trying to use the shoulder roll for it obvious he don’t know how to do it correctly. He just really need a real trainer. If a smaller fighter like Kambosos can outbox him and hurt him what do y’all think Taylor a bigger, stronger and better boxer would do to Teo?

Lol. I don't give a sh,it about any of these fighters man. I just call it like I see it.

I've been called everything from a GGG superfan, to a Wilder superfan, to a Crawford superfan etc. The list goes on and on.

I hope he tucks you in at night and gives you lots of kisses.

For what it's worth, I do respect your opinion. I was just trying to point out to you his mentality and what his priority goals are in the future. I'm not his boyfriend lol, but I am a fan and a fellow countryman. I follow his career closely as we don't produce special fighters all that often in this country. But believe me when i say he is not scared of anyone. Few fighters are to be honest. He just has his own path to take right now and it doesn't involve Lopez for the moment. Whoever your a fan of keep enjoying the boxing.

Fair enough, same to you my friend.

IMO, Teo still can make some noise, but, I think in order for that to happen certain things need to happen. Needs to tell his dad to hit the sidelines and hire a new trainer, leave 135 in the rear view mirror and move up, because it's obvious that he's draining himself to get to 135, and lastly and IMO the most important, and this kind goes with the first one, be your own man, and that happens with firing his dad (in the nicest way possible, you don't want SR to stir stuff up because he's obviously a diva) and taking control of your career. After all, it's Teo career.

Father and son team Lopez want Taylor because they thought Josh Taylor is with DAZN, therefore Hearn will offer them lots of $$$$$.

All great advice. Hopefully he sees sense. My guy is Taylor, but Teo can be a likeable guy when he's not in his dad's pain in the ass mode. And he certainly has plenty to offer in the ring. But big fights are also earned by gaining respect as a man, as well as a fighter. Teo has some work to do in this area for sure.

I hated on Taylor before but after he whooped on Ramirez he earned my respect. Hes top5 p4p, him vs. Bud is a pick em fight, Id favor bud but because hes been at 147 but Taylor is an elite talent.

I would like to see Teo vs Zepeda/Pedraza either one of those would be a good test to see where he's at in the new division and if he beats them impressively that would make the fight interesting again. Zepeda a southpaw and Pedraza switches so would be a good preparation for Taylor. I agree with Taylor though after that last performance he has to earn his spot at the top again. They also need to incorporate a new trainer maybe not get rid of his dad completely but he needs a new look his combos looked repetitive and after Kambosos figured it out he had no plan B just left hook and overhand right.

Junior versus Zepeda, Pedraza, Prograis, and a few other's would be ideal, but he definitely has to work his way up the 140 pound top ten.
He just doesn't get a title shot, after losing his title in the next lower division, there are other fighters in this division who have worked their way up.
Junior didn't lose by a split decision even though that what the judges decision turned out to be, when they were read out loud to the crowd.
In all reality Junior was soundly beaten by unanimous decision, and every time that Junior looks into a mirror, or see's some starring at him he will know the truth.
Juniors father is out of his mind, he thinks that just because he say's something that's the way it's going to be that's just plain delusional.
George Kambosos disfigured Junior, and shut his father up in one night of incredible fighting spirit in which he displayed heart, stamina, and boxing ability.

Taylor is promoted by Arum (ESPN) when he's fighting in the US. Not sure who he's with when he fights in the UK.
