I mean..I like Davis he’s nice and everything but he’s not some big name that’s gonna make more than teo anytime soon…I think they’ll probably eventually fight. This will sell it more cause let’s be honest neither of these guys sells PPVS. Dont like how teo went about this though it everytime I watch it I’m like “wtf”

Teo fought Claggett and how did his eyes look after? Like 2 plums with slits in the middle. You've never seen anybody do Keyshawn's eyes like that. And Teo wants big fights off of performances like that??! He's still living off his fight with Loma, but that was in 2020. It's 2025. Teo's ex-wife is probably full of anaconda right now, as we speak. That's why he's obssessed with gorilla/ banana/watermelon talk. He's crying hard over his ex, trust me. He knows she's getting bit, choked, hair pulled, ass slapped, talked dirty to, and pounded to sleep... He prob never once hit the bottom of her oven. He don't even know what it feels like down there. Meanwhile, her new dude is probably scraping the bottom every night, and already knows her insides better than Teo ever did. So now that his sensitive heart got hurt, now he wanna call everybody a monkey lol

That post alone may have poor Teo in tears, as he devises some other racist prank in retort.

Top Rank and Davis both need to issue an apology to Berinchyk for insinuating he is a racist. Davis acting very immature to publicly brand another man racist without any proof. Only to then say the culprit "looked like someone on his team". Well who then? Which one? (do white people all look the same to Davis?)
And then Top Rank running with it. Kriegle tried several times to run damage control stating that Davis wouldnt pursue it with police and the hotel because he didnt want the distraction.
I dont think that's the reason at all.
I think there are only 2 possibilities.
1. Davis made the whole thing up. The cameras prove it and someone got paid to cover it up.
2. It was a Russian trying to make Berinchyk look like a racist. Now go back to the letter on the box and notice that the letter Z is highlighted. Its the only highlighted letter. I might be the only one who noticed. Or not, but if not then it wasnt fitting the narrative so it was ignored.

Berinchyk said it wasnt him, that he doesnt speak English and doesnt have time for anything but to train. So without proof I find it reckless and irresponsible on Top Rank and on Davis part to smear Berinchyk and he is owed an apology.
I have lost any respect for Davis and Top Rank.

Davis did apologize. I don't know if delivering bananas and a watermelon to a fighter is a crime but if Lopez did this he should be suspended by the NY Athletic commission.

I thought that I read that Lopez posted a video of himself on his Instagram, laughing at the discovery of the fruit basket, while eating a banana.

Yeah, I saw that video. I took it as him making fun of the situation which is still bad in my personal opinion. It's too bad that the Hotel management isn't releasing the information on who's responsible for that gift basket..

[LarryMerchant'sBottle]

You're probably right about him likely showing up to make some more cash before he exists the sport, UNLESS the ass-whipping he suffers is brutal. Then, I think he won't be back. that ass-whipping's coming, though.

Yeah, I believe Boots batters Teo from pillar to post...

[BirdSong]

turki seems to want teo v boots later this year that would be good!!! teo might go for it if turki gave him the $$ he wants

I know with like today’s technology why withhold the information? It’s not medieval times

Yeah, I'm sure the Hotel knows who's responsible. I'm just wondering why they're withholding the information from the public...

Even when racism was at its peak in America, you rarely if ever saw fighters race-bait each other like Lopez did to Davis.

Ali did.

Intraracial racism is still racism.

I'm not so sure that Ali was racist against his own kind, as you suggest. As I understand it, he didn't like the fact that while he was banned from boxing for not registering for the draft, Frazier was an Army vet who did go serve during the Viet Nam war and was praised as an American hero. Muhammad stated that he didn't see the sense in going overseas to fight for America when he was discriminated against by America. He called Joe an uncle tom because he did fight for his country even while it treated him like a second-class citizen because of the color of his skin.

Calling him an ugly "gorilla", knowing what the history of that taunt was absolutely racist.

He was teasing him for his dark-skin & African features.

As much as I love Ali, like everybody else does, he was 100% wrong for that.

He kind of trafficked in that type of stuff with Liston, too, with the whole "big, ugly bear" stuff.

That's a little less racially tinged, but still suspect.
