I’ve never seen him fight but I looked him up and I realize that never tells the whole story but I doubt a fighter with zero experience at the world level and a less than 50% KO rate is gonna beat an established professional like Teo. I also find it strange that with all of the quality fighters at 140 he calls out a Top Rank fighter while he’s with DAZN. Obviously a fight that won’t be made anytime soon.

You may want to watch some fights of his first. Two isn't the strongest fighter, mentally, and that's half the battle. Style wise, he's a nightmare for Teo.

Montana Love first! Go Brooklyn!

I don't know if he be able to contend with Teo, he has beaten two PR prospects in Yomar Alamo who went the distance with Liam Paro and battered an undefeated John Bauza, but they aren't sufficient benchmarks, it be interesting to see him fight Pedraza, Commey, Barboza, Lipinets, or Steve Spark.

Hitchins is physically strong, perfectly conditioned, and VERY much a sharpshooter who counters beautifully! Every time I see him he is getting better and better. He is sitting down on his punches more. He is damn good!

Can't knock Hitchins for his confidence. His physical stature and boxing ability can pose problems for Lopez considering that Lopez' mental ability to hold everything together in a fight when it's not going his way isn't very good. Hitchins may need a little more seasoning, but definitely has the skills to compete with top guys IMO.

It's sad that an unknown fighter could potentially beat Teo or make it a competitive fight.

You just know Teo isn't independent or he would have found a new team by now.
