    He's trying too hard, looking for the big knockout. Where was his jab last night? He's predictably in his attacks and becoming an easy read. The guy's got all the talent in the world, speed power and reflexes, but he's not applying any of it in a meaningful manner. His fight IQ is low and his father is ****ty trainer. It's not too late for him but I'll echo what everyone in here is saying, he needs a new trainer and needs to get in a better head space. The takeover needs a makeover.

      I'm convinced that Prograis and Matias would literally kill him in the ring. Pedraza could probably outbox him on a good night too.

Certainly doesn't help he has an asshat for dad but he has no one to blame but himself if he can't find the courage to change.Karma more often than not is a *****.

          Didn't Know he was a fellow SC/Caleb fan so he definitely is going through some depression smh....
          It's a shame to see he's definitely going through something. Should take some time away from boxing.

            Teo was dropped once by Kambosos and twice by Sandor Martin lol. Regis destroys that guy.

              His coach ain't the problem, it's him and whatever going on inside his head. He has the behavior of a ex drug addict
              His dad/trainer is most definitely a problem. IDK what corner advice he was giving Teo last night, but Sr.'s advice was comical against Kambosos. Part of Teo Jr.'s delusion and regression as a fighter has to be blamed on his dad. We can blame Teo for not having the courage to do what's necessary and get a new trainer.

                It's too bad. He's got all the physical tools he could ever need. Maybe not a good enough chin but still...

                  Pedraza is slick and can make Teo look bad in spots, but he can linger too long on the inside which will give Teo enough opportunities. Pedraza also has a decent amount of miles on his odometer. If TR wants to take it slow with Teo, then match him with Pedraza if he beats Barboza.

                    Last night SR was giving good advice. Teo wasn't listening. But yeah he could use a different trainer

                    tbh I think his wife more of a problem than his pops tbh.
