You are truly an idiot. I like fighters based on talent, grit, and their skillset, not their ethnicity. I've stated in prior posts that I root for Teo and have defended him, as well as criticized him when he's delusional. Don't group me in with your Euro-boxer bias, I actually watch the fights for enjoyment, and not for pitting races against each other.
Rebelrbg isn't a fan of Teo or anyone who isn't black. He just likes that he "Beat" two Euro's who he wants gone. They keep beating his guys and he can't take it. Watching his "Fighters" have to f3ck over their opponents before they fight them isn't something an egotist really wants. But perception is the only way it looks like they're top fighters when they're no such thing.
Davis isn't going anywhere near Teo at 140. Funny thing is, Davis is only one of two he beats for me around these weights. His counters and power would top Davis who is just too cautious and clearly doesn't like those with fire power. It's why he had to drain Ryan to cripple him before facing him.Comment

More bullshxt and excuses. I know, Loma had a pebble in his shoe that was rubbing his bad toe, and the flavor of gum Taylor was chewing during warmups made him nauseous, and they both had too much padding in their gloves to throw a hard punch.
There's a reason the fight was held in the smaller venue at Madison Square Garden and not the main arena. Tickets were very slow to sell. Not only that, but Teo refused to travel for the fight which is why it took place in the US. No other reason.
Teo didn't beat Loma fair and square though. The fight was actually a draw. The same way the fight Teo had with Martin wasn't fair and square or Loma against Haney as Loma won that fight. Then the fight with Taylor wasn't fair as one fighter was active while the other was horribly inactive. Now, who were the ones who benefitted from all of this? Which country do they come from? It's the same country as always with mass corruption and set up fights.Comment

While I completely agree with you Sid-Knee is a moron, I do have to disagree with you about Teo calling out Haney.
He really did avoid him at 135, which was financially understandable. Besides, Bob wasn’t going to make an out of TR fight when he controlled almost all of the LW division.
About a week ago, his father was quoted as saying Teo was demanding $20 mil to fight Haney. That shows he has no interest or intention of fighting Devin.
There is no opponent he would get that much for other than Floyd coming out of retirement. He wouldnt earn that much for Canelo, Manny, Spence, Crawford, or Tank.
Maybe Fury or AJ in England lol.Comment

Lol, I was talking about Tank calling out Haney, but I agree about Teo, nobody would pay him 20 million for ANY fight.

Ok. If I’m Haney, I would drop the belts and move up to fight Prograis since I expect him to win.
Hed get way more to fight Tank, but he struggled mightily to make 135 last fight. Not only that. Tank is going to have several clauses for the payday.Comment

I don't think Bill Haney would let the fight happen anyway. Although he won, it was barely, and everyone got a good look at his lack of a defensive adjustment to the southpaw lead left. Bill knows what would happen if Tank lands those same shots.
So, I think that BH would make negotiations extremely difficult, price themselves out, and refuse to play the B-side. Basically, looking for a way out without being labeled a duck. I hope it happens though.Comment

Teo never beat Loma. it was a draw. Arum like always wanted the American to win. It's why you only see Americans or Mexicans being the ones to benefit from robberies. It has nothing to do with "A side, B side". It's just pure corruption. Try naming fighters from other countries who lose but get the robbery over the North American. Go on.
Lol, you just can't take it like a man. He definitely beat Loma, you can't rewrite history based on your opinion. It's also Taylor's own fault for not fighting in a year and a half, he kept making excuses to push back the Catterall rematch. Teo beat Loma and Taylor fair and square. By the way, he's Honduran not Mexican, so there's goes your narrative.
Why wasn't Taylor given a warm up like Teo was? Who said he had to fight Teo? Oh, that's right. Bob set him up by having Teo placed as the mandatory for the WBO to force Taylor's hand. It's all Americans and Mexicans are doing. Why, what wins can you name without corruption, being inactive or having other methods to sabotage in play? Give it a go.
I'll take fights on a level playing field on the chin. Not set ups by cowards and cheats who can't win otherwise.
Who said Teo was Mexican? He's American born and raised.Comment

Davis has been ducking his whole career. You can't dispute that fact. Who cares what he says these days. It's just talk. Let me know when it's action in play and without his contracts to f3ck them over like a coward.Comment

I know what you are. I also know why you support the likes of Teo when against certain fighters. Pretending otherwise isn't going to alter the reality. But if that's what you want to do. Knock yourself out.
