One is not better than the other
I scored it and I had a total different score
I figured they would declare it a draw as no one really won that fight imo , but if I had to give the fight to someone , Ortiz would of won imo

Fair enough. Boxing has a flavor for everyone.

[Roadblock]

Far from smart but it is what it is , Teo can’t fight true boxers is what it is
He needs someone to stand in front of him and not move to much
He really is quite transparent

Yep exactly, its what I've been saying you don't put sprinters in staying races that's common sense for any trainer, thing with boxing is ego rules over brains, its the whole macho thing the sport is sold on because the buyers are young males full of the same, you see the fallout in quite a few of the Dad Son deals, its like Dad jumped out the closet all sparkly Gangster at their son's expense.

Not really my flavour but I scored the fight round by round
Not one or the other deserved anything honestly
I think it ended 54-51 punches landed with Ortiz having the edge
When I saw what Ortiz’s gameplay was , I figured oh well Teo will chop that body , slow him down , cut the ring wtv but instead I saw a guy who has problems performing the basics in boxing
I’m not one to say that task would be easy but then I could see him getting the upper hand
Ortiz came and did his thing whether it was nice or not , he stuck to his plan

But what freaks me out is , how many people didn’t notice what was being said in Teo’s corner by his dad
He was telling him to stop following you gotta start cutting the ring and you need to touch him which Teo evidently wasn’t doing
So how can he slow his opponent or even get the win ?
Now his dad realized the cams were getting it all and started to whisper in his ear from like the 4th round on

What gets me is how did they not know Teo was gunna have a lot of trouble, its easy to tell him what to do and hard to accomplish if youre out sped, Ennis had the same sht happen its not easy to catch them pure backfoot guys, you can't cut a guy off if he is two steps in front of your every move, you try to cut that way and moves the other way before you can change direction then they say he cant cut the ring, that's all about speed and or high-pressure endurance that tires them from moving which the great boxer punchers had, so many fights are won at lost at the feet.

Yeah I get it
The fact that Sr knew he was losing the fight sort of goes against everyone who says how could Ortiz have won
But many fights are won at the feet and can’t argue there , he needs to be there to actually catch him , so to say

So many excuses for teofimo.

So many excuses for teofimo.

Excuses, he wasn't good enough with that opponent. That's no excuse, but there is a logic behind why he wasn't good enough; fans just like to trash them instead of dissecting what happened, he couldn't catch the guy so lets pull out the hatchets, Teo is a good fighter for him to be at his best he needs opponents that want to fight him.

[Tatabanya]

Wouldn't it have been funny if the ref said to them after the fight, "You both ******, now GTF outta my ring!"

Yeah... "...and now go mop the floor with Shakur and De Los Santos!"

Teofimo is overrated trash, that's why.
