Teo won the first 6 rounds by pecking away at a Loma, who didn't engage. Most probably preserving his damaged shoulder for the second half. The rounds were tight, and Loma probably thought he won his share. But Teo won all 6 imo. Then Loma clearly upped his game and intensity, starting round 7, as if a switch had been flicked. Which makes it look obvious he was waiting until the second half to pull away in the fight. The next 5 rounds Loma won easily. Not by pecking away, but by quite clearly outclassing Teo. But fair play to Teo. Because he rallied and dug in for the final round, and won it, and way more convincingly than the first 6. And that gave him a 7-5 victory. What I saw more significantly in this, was that, in the break between 11 and 12, Snr was telling him to keep doing what he was doing. And jnr obviously wasn't convinced. Because he went against his dad's instruction and raised his performance level, to try to make sure. So well done to him. In the end it was irrelevant as the cards were horrendous and had it way wider than it was. But it shows a couple of things here. Firstly, it highlights how pathetic his dad's instruction is. Which was also shown up in the Kambosos fight several times. And secondly, how a Loma who's on it can dominate Teo. And that was with a well documented shoulder injury. I'm not particularly a fan of either. Teo is a talented guy. But he is not realistic and needs to humble up. His dad is ruining him, as jnr actually has some likeability about him,but tries to live up to his father's egotistical tendancies. With a good humble trainer and adopting some realism to his attitude, Teo could potentially be great. But if he can't admit something is broke, he won't be able to fix it. And his dad certainly won't be able to, with the nonsense that comes from his mouth.Comment
