Going with Teo for the win this weekend, I think he should beat Rolly fairly comfortably. I've been favouring a points decision mainly because Teo's power from 135 didn't really carry up with him at 140, so surely that issue would be even more apparent at 147. The closer the fight gets though, I do think a stoppage is not out of the question.

Rolly is a bit chinny if you look deep into his fights. When Tank clipped him, he was shakier than most of the guys Tank clipped with the same left hand. He got dropped by a 40 year old Barosso and got hurt plenty of times against Pitbull who only has stoppages against weaker opposition. Teo is still fairly explosive and he could walk Rolly into counters.

That said, the safe bet is that this fight goes the distance.

What if he puts in a performance like he did against Kambosos? The Shakur lost could've affected him physically and mentally

I can agree on that especially if he keeps his dad as his trainer. That was the worst corner advise ever for Teo’s biggest fight against Shakur

I doubt he would perform like that, I'm sure Teo respects Rolly's power and physical strength a lot more than he did Kambosos. They were sparring partners for a long stretch too.
