    Just because Teofimo didn't KO Nakatani.....

    Many think that just because Teo didn't KO Nakatani, that he is not ready for elite fighters in the division. We need to understand he fought a tall fighter. Long arms, awkward style and styles make fights. Even the best don't always KO fighters.

    That dude hurt Teo numerous times with the overhand right. He's a weight bully, when he moves up he's going to have some problems.

        It's not that he didn't KO him...it's that he struggled with Nakatani.

        And he is ready for Commey I think, this was a good learning fight.

          I don't think anybody cares that he didn't ko him. It's that he got touched and hurt by a guy that's levels below real competition.

            Seems opinion is mixed on as to whether Teofimo still passes the 'eye test' after yesterday.

              Actually, many did care. Even ESPN commentators were expecting the KO, MANY fans were expecting it. So many did care and are judging Teo's potential just because he didn't accomplish that. Big misjudgement

                Not every fighter will always look good in every fight.

                Even Loma didnt look in his fight against Pedrazo

                  No, he's definitely not ready for Loma. He needs more time to develop.

                  He is not seasoned or experienced enough to hang in there with Vasiliy at this time. Last night, there were so many holes and gaps in his game that Loma would have easily exploited them.

                  Now, I consider his fight with Richard Commey as a toss up; A 50/50 pick em fight. Either guy can win because both are huge punchers.

                    Exactly, Loma been down too and already has a loss. Seems like almost everyone seems to forget that.
