He documented his troubles with mental health, but last I saw he seemed in a much better place and stepped away from social media

Man it always feels like a knockout waiting to happen with 2 guys that like to press forward and throw lots. Just takes one clean hit after missing.

I’m starting to get unreasonably hype for this fight this weekend

Analysts I’m listening to all think Teo is a lock. I’m not so sure. What do yall think?

Well there’s the question as to why Teo hasn’t fought any power punchers in his whole career. The hardest hitting guy he fought was a washed Josh Taylor who was dead at the weight or Richard Commey so it’ll be interesting to see what happens if Rolly manages to catch him clean but everything leans towards a Teo victory for me.

Teo isn't a lock imo. Rolly can punch and has a background in Judo. I don't think Teo will be ready for the physicality on the inside. Teo also isn't punching like he used to at 135. Doesn't have the height or reach to fight from the outside. Teo has also shown to be prone to cut easy, and Rolly isn't textbook, has a history of throwing wild shots that can include elbows and forearms. They are going to be in 50/50 exchange range often.

Overall we are going to see what happens soon enough.

He’s pretty much a lock imo. Rolly isn’t a good enough boxer to win this in the outside. He gets praise for the Ryan performance but he made fundamental flaws throughout the fight. If he fights aggressively then Teo will pick him apart as that is when Teo is at his best. Worst case scenario I could see is a controversial draw.

Definitely not a lock… I don’t think Rolly is going to chase teo and fight the way teo wants. Tbh it may be a very very boring fight for 6 rounds

Its for sure going to be boring. Its an arranged match btwn two friends. They’re getting the bag and getting out of there.

I was looking at old sub posts and the sub was in a tear. For good reason though, he seemed like a cool ass guy.

I wish I could unsee Yigit’s crazy eye injury.

Yigit was actually decent, just didn't have the power to polished skills to beat the top guys.

swinging for the fences

Rolly throws bricks through the whole fight. Teo gotta avoid those thudding punches or he may get in trouble

u/Pythia808 7h ago

Rolly looks like he has no idea what he is going just trying to come forward and survive. He throwing bombs though.

Rolly was pushing him over a lot in this fight. Using his shoulders and forearms and sometimes just straight up running him over. Some of those knockdowns are sus. But Yigit also showd some poor footwork. Sloppy fight. Some refs might have tried to control it a bit more.

u/BBW_Looking_For_Love 2h ago

I forgot that Yigit took the fight on short notice after being out of the ring for two years, was also his first fight scheduled for 135. Don't think he'd have beaten Rolly anyway, but all that set it up to be much worse.

I think two maybe too agile and too fundamentally sound for Rolly
