    I dont think he does good at all and that's not me being a hater that's me being someone who has actually watched him fight.

    You know how many people here are rooting for him and have never watched him fight? Too ****ing many people to run their mouths the way they do.

    It's way easier to start with what Teo does good over what he doesn't.

    Best punch: lead hook
    Power: good but not spectacular
    Good reflexes
    Fast hands

    Thats about it.

    Hes one of those guys who will fall in love with his power and try to end every fight but not be the kind of athlete or boxer with that ability.

    Look at Inoue. I think highly of the guy and the guy both technically on the offensive and defensive side is light years ahead of where Teo is but I know he'll struggle if he doesn't improve that defense.

    Teofimo isn't Inoue. Plus we all got that "no more tall guys" talk and literally every guy at 140-147 is near 5'10" or taller. If Lopez can weight bully a guy can he actually win by boxing?

    I dont think so.

        If Loma slaughters him then he will not take over at 140. Nothing magical happens when he turns 26. He will have more experience and maybe be a pound or two heavier or maybe not. Lots of men are completely done growing at 23. His chin has never been tested by a decent puncher because he never got hit hard when he won the title. Let's see how wonder boy does against Loma. if he can't beat him then he won't do well at 140 because there are always some very good fighters at 140 to welcome him to his new weight class.

            Assuming he takes out Lomachenko,

            The only ones he has a chance against is either Mikey or if Pac goes back to 140 after 13 years

              Not sure we're his power came from cause in his Ams in 24 something fights he didnt score any knock outs.
              His power was nonexistent.
              Plus he didnt look too good.
              I think Bob has built this guy up to be a patsy. lol.

                Im honestly not sure what people see but im sure they're rooting for Teo for other reasons.

                If you didnt watch the 2nd part of their promo please do. You really get a look into Teofimos life and its not good.

                -A fractured family who celebrates without Sr
                -A father living through his son who wants to be his coach and not his father
                -A hurt son trying to make his dad proud by back up his talk
                -jealousy towards Loma and everything he has including a great relationship with his father

                Teofimo even tears up so you know its legit. I honestly feel bad for him because even he knows that he'll probably lose and his father won't be there for him as a father.

                  Maybe he does alright. Nakitani wouldn't be the first Japanese fighter who is extremely durable. Power gotta be real if he knocked out Commey the way he did.

                    Teofimo isnt clearly done growing. He can probably hit 154 with his large broad frame. And at 25 the human males brain is fully developed so yeah theres that, his boxing iq will be at its best and so will his physicality. Looking at his short neck and shoulder muscles id be willing to wager he can take a punch, that being said loma isnt slaughtering teo he hasnt slaughtered anyone at that weight of note he will box and move.
