Teo fought smart. He took his time, and didn’t overreact and get impatient or impulsive. He took his time with his punches and was on point. He seemed very calm and focused. He was very ready. He did a great job in that ring.
Right, its like he did against Loma
@CNC DominationYup. Hopefully he’s not actually retiring and fights the other champs at 140; Regis, Subriel, Rolly
He could be more patient tho , josh was out on his feet for many rounds.
So much respect for Teofimo, after that performance He reminded us he is still one of the top dogs in boxing today. And after what He’s been through, it’s a lesson of resilience and mental toughness, I’m really happy for him
what has he been through
@Paul C Being sad or something 😢
@Justin Carreras , why was he sad
@Paul C after coming of a shock loss to kambosos I think he was fighting for custody of his son post divorce. He had a questionable victory against Martin. He thought he lost what made he a special fighter and so did a lot of people. So came in to this fight as the underdog which he needed.
@King Bullet , thanks man 👍👍
Teo came out and made a statement. Damn…. what a dominating performance by Teo. He’s back on top with many options coming his way.
is he retiring?
He’s back ok top??
@Adam Smith i think he just wants to be compensated properly, he got $1m for this fight and just family stuff he’s gotta sort through
@Asad Naqvi Yea he’s been vocal about his issues both inside and outside of the ring.
@AJ McDaniel If he’s not the man to beat at 140, who is? 🤷🏻♂️ He beat the man, so what does that make him?
I ain’t gonna lie I got a little emotional when Teo won. That boy went through a lot of adversity. He went through a lot of depression after his lost in his last time as undisputed in lightweight. People counted him out. Love these type of stories. Im happy for him.
This is what martial arts is about. Real men have all been there. When you see a man give it his ass and he finally gets rewarded, you might shed some grown man tears
Man up emotional guy 😅
@gregory mackey your name is Gregory Mackey dude 😂
He was never undisputed
@Random Brandon i would hate life with that name 🤣😂
What I liked best is Teo’s patience in this fight, it was beautiful.
This
I been said teo would win people just be sleeping on him since he lost to kambosos
Man… Teo whipped the tea and crumpets out of Josh. This is what the fight game is all about. He lost to Kambosis… truly went back to the blank chalkboard and put a beating on Josh. Great job Teo!!
Man said tea and crumpets
Josh Taylor is Scottish fam lol. Not English
@DarcsideDev😅
@DarcsideDev you mean English, Britain includes England and Scotland!!!
@DarcsideDev Scotland is in Britain fam
Lopez was heavily underestimated. Odds were off and somehow got 115-113 wild 🤣
Nobody wants to talk about it 😅 #TheTAKEOVER
More disgraceful judging. 117-111 was about right, Lopez totally outboxed Taylor.
see, there is stupid Lopez and intelligent Lopez.. First 5 rounds we saw stupid one.. He should beat his own demons first.
100 % недооценили но, бой предоставили с Джош.
I always say it depends on which Teo comes to fight. This was the Teo that beat Lomachenko that showed up tonight but even better.
This is the Teo everyone wants to see, hope he puts all his grief behind and pushes forward to become a bigger champion 🥊
This is why Teo fights who he does. Don’t think I’ve seen a fighter recently that fights to his comp as much as Teo. He was so strategic and timely when rushing in on Taylor, he clearly respected Josh. Teo needs to continue fighting top guys damn the sanctioning bodies.
Teo showed a lot of greatness tonight. You can feel the stress in his life outside the ring
