Teo got his confidence back!! Taylor had no answers for that speed and athleticism he looked worse than his last fight, after the 4th he look deflated. I think he teo vs haney next is the money fight but i wouldn’t mind teo going for undisputed vs regis. 140 should be popping again soon

Imagine that? Lol. What happens to JT. i believe you said this would be the beginning of the end for one of these fighters. Well, here we are because I don’t see how JT is going to get another big fight at 140 anytime soon.

Huge win for Teo. Devastating loss to JT.

I know I thought that and I think we discussed it. Taylor looked slow and lacked confidence, even after trying to come out hard. I just don't see a future for him, and he'd be absolutely lost at 147. He's got the look of a guy who now signs with Matchroom, gets some sort of Euro title, defends/chases it there a few times, and is done.

Teo looked much better, but I'm still not sure what to expect from him. That interview earlier in the week was disturbing and I think it was real. Plus, even when he was supposed to be hot in his career, he was inconsistent.

Teo might be one of those boxers who just raises his level to the guy he’s fighting. But inconsistency is almost always gonna catch u in combat sports, like it did with kambosos and sando martin even tho he got the decision there lol

some thoughts on Teofimo Lopez after his big win..

He Still Has It

It turns out that the rumors of Teofimo Lopez's demise were greatly exaggerated. Over 12 rounds he masterfully boxed Josh Taylor to capture the recognized junior welterweight championship at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. Yeah, he still has 'it'. The 'takeover' might still be in effect...

Welcome to the victory lap/fade out.

Charlo - He'll fight a dude that a) doesn't fight b) would have to come up in weight c) would fight, for the first time, at that new weight and d) has mental health issues that prevent him from training and fighting. Geez, that is a toss up.....

Jack - He'll fight a dude that is 39 and fights at 199ish pounds. Wanna bet Canelo makes him come down? Who pays for that "fight"?

These are jokes.

Oh, and Teo is "retired" and will only fight for "9 figures"?

I love boxing, but between ridiculous PPV prices, poor matchmaking from a competition standpoint, **** judging becoming the norm, **** decisions becoming the norm, egocentric (not just greedy) promoters, and boxers becoming WR-esque divas...the sport is making it hard. Really hard.

Absolutely sad with Canelo. Guess DB’s dad was right about Canelo not wanting to pass the torch.

Regis's Road to Matchroom

Coming off his emphatic 11th round knockout of Jose Zepeda in late November, newly minted WBC junior welterweight champion, Regis Prograis, hit the open market. He was a boxer who had several lucrative options in terms of who would be promoting him, and therefore what fights were realistically...

my thoughts on Tim Tszyu and Regis Prograis this weekend..

Tszyulander

Back in February of 2022, Tim Tszyu scored a clear cut decision over veteran Terrell Gausha. But while he won, this night was far from perfect at the Armory in Minneapolis. Early in the contest, Gausha struck Tszyu with a right hand that sent him on the seat of his pants. While he was rated...
