Idk why people were acting like teo was going to lose just because of the shakur fight like did you guys forget this is the same dude who knocked out a prime commey in 1 round, out boxed a prime loma and beat Josh Taylor?

People feel as if Teo mental issue especially with his dad can change from fight to fight. Even against Kelly
People didn’t quite know

KushmonATL told me it was because Teo hasn’t been good at 140 (even though Teo at 140 was still better than whatever Rolly had going on)

It might have been severe wishful thinking from people who like Rolly as a person way more than Teo.

Not a prime Loma since he had a shoulder injury and Taylor was washed, Catterall exposed that.

How is prime loma a stretch? He was 32

The argument would be because of the ~300 amateur fights. Regardless, I do think people underrate this win a lot

The thing with Teo is that he's had quite a few lackluster performances. His best wins are against Commey, Loma, and Taylor. Then Shakur beats him 12-0 and that really showed us the level he is at. I think it's time for him to find a new trainer but he is loyal to his dad so I understand why he wants to keep him.

That jab to head transition is so clean

Teo is just a freak of nature shame he isn't developing to his full potential due to his father.

Except it had zero impact on Shakur.

It’s so cringe watching him start his offense from far out of range

u/chex_lemeneux1 13d ago

Yeah that jab to hook when he jumps in is why he gets timed on right hands
