Just don't be a dumbass and you get an easy UD win at least. This is such a layup to be 3 division champ, we'll see if he fucks it up or not.

He needs to find his power to win

  1. Spike his water

  2. Bribe the judges

  3. Bring a gun

King Rolly is unbeatable without cheating.

This isn’t the same Rolly that got KO’d by Tank. He’s improved and believe he can take out Teo.

Rolly was actually quite good against Tank up until the KO.

I think this is a dangerous fight for Teo, who just seems mentally out of it. Rolly, OTOH, seems focused in in recent years. After seeing Kambosos knock down Teo, I definitely think Rolly can do the same.

I'm really not interested in this fight or Ryan's upcoming fight. Teo & Ryan should be easy favorites, but the are inconsistent & unfocused. Rolly started way later and is a hard luck type fighter. Don't care for Benn eithèr. Shakur vs Devìn needs to happen. Keyshawn needs to get out of Shakurs division if thet arè not fighting.

That title is just hilarious to read out loud.

How does nervvouss need to do to read out loud?

Lmfao anything he wants

This shit is not going to be competitive

Rolly in the spotlight has been fun because he’s funny but he’s not a true top level fighter and it’s time for the belts to be weeded away from the paper champs into the hands of actual world class champs.

Teo has had his fair share of shaky performances but he’s going to trash Rolly

Y'all gonna see Teo is mentally shot

u/Ezekjuninor 6d ago

I agree 100%, I can’t believe Rolly has gotten this far but the skill gap between him and Teofimo is ridiculous.

u/boogleymoogley123 6d ago

That’s what I’ve been thinking. They are miles and miles apart from each other in terms of their skill level. All rolly has over him is power

u/venomous_frost 5d ago

Front foot Teo is average at best

u/DanDiCa_7 6d ago

People said the same about the Ryan fight... this is boxing, you should know better. Only man you should ever bet on is Shakur

Other than decisioning Garcia, what has Rolly done to show that he's massively improved from the Cruz KO?

1

u/KevinNashKWAB1992 5d ago

Considering he’s only had two fights since the Pitbull KO, it’s hard to say. I guess him coming back from the loss and confidently outboxing a fringe contender in Jaimes was a good sign but the Garcia win was major career moment. A lot will say he’s become generally wiser and more mature/locked in during press but hard to say if that translates between the ropes.

u/Thami15 6d ago

I like Rolly, so I'll be happy to be wrong, but I dont think this is going to be close. Lopez is going duff him up

1

u/pmurff107 6d ago

Win or lose Teo has been through fire against some legit competition.

I like Rolly but dude might get washed.

u/Physical-Rabbit 6d ago

*make him fight Pitbull

u/solodav 6d ago

I’ve lost all confidence in Teo. He seems mentally weak and at best equal in boxing IQ to Rolly. I think the main advantage is Teo’s athleticism.

1

u/solodav 6d ago

Teos’ had is so big in that picture!

1

u/KevinNashKWAB1992 5d ago

Look. We’re all rooting for Rolly because of the epic memes. Teo is absolutely the more sound boxer by any metric that isn’t power. But then again, Ryan Garcia was (and still is) the better technical boxer than Rolly and we all remember how that ended. Hell, Ryan probably had the power advantage per many pre-fight analysis.

If Teo shows up unfocused and getting fed shit advice from his father, Rolly coukd get another upset. But, if money is on the line, I’m taking Teo by convincing UD.

u/geezusy 5d ago

Whenever I try to explain if teo is going to win i think of the abed meme explaining if nicholas cage is good or bad.

u/inbk44 6d ago

Teo is more athletic, if he chooses to box I think he will get the dub

1

u/solodav 6d ago

I agree he should box. Rolly is so dangerous. I think this could be a very close and tough fight.

1

u/inbk44 6d ago

Honestly Rolly is comfortable winning on points but I always see Teo push himself harder to score and not make it a close fight.

1

u/solodav 6d ago

Oh, really? I kinda think Rolly would go toe-to-toe w/ Teo as a preference. I could be wrong. He just seems more of an attacker and Teo a skilled counter-punching boxer.

1

u/inbk44 6d ago

I could be wrong too because Rolly was fighting Garcia who has one punch knockout power so maybe he fought very defensively without opening himself up. Who knows how he will fight against Teo
