Teo looked sharp enough given the layoff and challenges, asthma maybe the most underestimated. He did exactly what he had to do, and looked good doing it. Needs to work on accuracy of punches. One thought here was attendance. Just under 4,000? If accurate draw must be a concern in promoters’ minds - his or opponents?

Zero concern. The venue was sold out for him facing a nobody.

ESPN had a new show last night.......

It was called "Shilling for Lopez" show......

UH give me a break try to watch some fights and these clowns are all about kissing ass and blowing smoke all night long for this guy. come on guys give it a break I wonder how many people walk away from a fight card when all the praise and production is going on the T.V. set......

oh well Boxing bad enough he fights a nobody with not much if any chance of winning we have to listen to them drone on and suck up to a fighter I missed most of the pre lim fights due to all the grab ass action going on in the booth ......

Forget about it..........

I like that Teofimo is going after Josh Taylor (notwithstanding the fact he is apparently confusing him with Jose Ramirez). There are way too many good fights for him at 140 lbs. to get sucked into the bullshit that will inevitably come with trying to make fights with Garcia, Davis, or Haney.

Very decent undercard, by the way. As Tim Bradley mentioned a couple times during the ESPN+ broadcast, Top Rank did a great job matching its prospects, getting them quality rounds. Duke Ragan needs to simmer the fuck down, calling the top guys at 126 lbs. “trash.”

You’re writing is factual and superb. You will go down as a historian. I appreciate your persective too. Like hamed, when faced with top fighters, ate Lopez and Ryan Garcia, more mouth than brutality?
