Teo can beat some of the belt holders at 147 for sure.

Nothing burger. His last comment in the ring said it all. Minus this beat down, he would've continued down the same ignorant track he was on when he believed his own hype Ryan style. How will a broken man react when welterweights don't react to his punches the way he expects and keep coming forward? Shakur isn't known for his power, but he had enough pop to make Teo think twice before throwing anything. Take over Zuffa while there's something left to market.

Those belt holders at 47 will do like he did, demand big $ or just hold on to belt till the get a good enough payday to get relieved from their belts and possibly their senses in spectacular fashion.

Shakur closed both of Teo's eyes, while opening the top corners of them like a babies mouth. So can you imagine what a welterweight could do with him? I think it's a great move to keep his dad. I love how he gives lame ass instructions in the corner, like, "Where's your power Papa? Go hit that n*gga! Come on Papa, he's just like the n*gga with 13 inches that's f__cking your wife Papa!! To get inside, keep your left hand real low, put your chin in the air and leap in like a tiger. Get mad, think about what that n*gga must be doing to your wife. He's knocking the bottom out of her sh__t Papa!! You gonna hate yourself in the morning!" I want him to get right back in there with all the biggest punchers available. He's still not humble yet, and still racist. I wanna see his eyeballs get exploded in 2026. Let's go Teo!

Moving up makes sense I guess. 3 division champ looks good on the resume and the champs there don't seem unbeatable. Teo Vs Ryan for a belt would be a big fight if it were to happen.

As crazy as it may seem, I think keeping the dad also makes some sense in a way. Sr seems unstable so sacking him might cause a lot of personal life drama which could really negatively affect Teo.

When somebody is full of negative energy, you have to get away from them. For example, the same way his wife left him for a brother with a bigger johnson, he gotta leave his pops for a smarter trainer
