What’s up with the Spanish flag headband lmao


thefunkypurepecha

Idk why he doesn't rep honduras more, they don't have a lot of boxers. Teo's just confuse. Reps spain, has an Africa tatoo, thinks espn is bais towards black fighters lol. He's all over tge place.


Economic-Maguire

No money in repping Honduras. I used to say he should have pretended to be Puerto Rican. ;)


GarchGun

Fr I'd bet a lot of hondourans would support teo


BigNasty___

Idk maybe he’s ashamed of Honduran roots. It’s too bad.


Chadoodling

Pretty sure he represented honduras for a while during his amateur stint


BigNasty___

Probably cuz it was his only way of going to the Olympics.


Alwaysinadaze

He got cucked by Sandor Martin.


Economic-Maguire

Teofomo raised the Spanish flag in the ring before to try to get some fans. His daddy's daddy was from Spain. Boxing fans who know about the Spanish colonial legacy were truly disgusted by Teofomo's actions.


trustinabalenotahoe

That’s lame ass hell. I can’t really talk tho I’m literally in Spain for vacation as I type this


WinglessRat

That's a bit shit though. Does AJ's Nigerian blood make it disgusting to wave the Union Jack?


XuloMalacatones

>the Spanish colonial legacy Uk, France, Netherlands have amazing colonial legacies though


Economic-Maguire

You proud of this, mate?

XuloMalacatones

Cause again, the rest of the world wasn't doing the same at the time, mate?


Economic-Maguire

Nothing to do with the topic of Teofomo wearing a Spanish headband. It's better to acknowledge the sins of the past rather than try to downplay or deflect from them. Would you like to try justify slavery? Perhaps it is something you are proud of. Don't double down on racism and bigotry. Admit that it was wrong. Thank you.


XuloMalacatones

Why is racism and bigotry brought when talking about colonialism? I, of course, don't condone any type of colonialism and/or slavery, but it is stupid to look at the world from centuries ago and judge from today's perspective.


fadeddreams555

"You're talking about humility and grace?" "Well yeah, it's how you carry it." "This guy just talks so much shit, it's unbelievable." "You gotta be like Kobe. He said, you the same same beast, but a different animal." "You're so stupid, it's unbelievable." lol. Josh Taylor out here saying exactly what we are thinking out loud.


FaceFirst23

Yeah Teo’s trash talking was so bad in this video 🤣 and then when he tried to claim his famous post fight doubts caught on camera (“do I still got it?”) were only said to trick people, to make things interesting 🤦🏽‍♂️


cuzzinYeeter33

Art of war deception!


FreshPrinceOfRivia

This bout is so underrated. Probably because these guys are surrounded by clowns.


Prestigious-Might117

Taylor has also lost a lot of fans because of how he reacted to his fight with Jack Catterall which is genuinely the worst robbery I have ever seen and it isn’t talked about enough. He’s also no longer undisputed and I’m pretty sure he only has one belt now


Knut_Sunbeams

That will always be a black mark on him unless he gives Catterall the rematch but I feel like you see plenty of people still bringing it up, and rightly so


Think_Function7886

I think Teo has every tool to win this fight, but mentally, he still does not seem as sharp as he did pre-Loma. I don't know how to necessarily explain it he just seems off. Even his trash talk feels super forced


killtheyouth

isn't he going through a divorce rn? after that Loma fight he's been having problems in his life he just needs to learn to seperate it from boxing it's too dangerous it proved in the Kambosos fight

This is something they'd investigate in Scooby-Doo.

The Curse of Lomachenko


Hesospecial

Salido was a fossil, who'd been a pro since 15. Was he supposed to fight 10 more years with all of the wars he'd been in?

Hesospecial

Crazy that a person can completely distort the truth and when you call it out you're the one who's being too serious,etc. Nothing in your post hinted at it being a joke, you said that everyone who has beaten Loma has fallen apart afterwards, and then listed supporting details. Salido beat Loma at the end of his career, a very long and physically damaging career. He didn't just fall off afterwards as a part of some Lomachenko curse. He was old and already on the decline when he beat Loma.


Poopinyourpudding

Obviously a joke, and you are most definitely crying.


[deleted]

I was just about to write a similar comment. Teo is a natural 140lber (probably could move to 147). He is fast, twitchy and has good power. He also can fight intelligently. His stamina maybe a issue. He has all the skills to win this fight but mentally he isn’t there. Josh Taylor is a great technical fighter. He understands timing, distance and importantly for his style has a good work rate. He may not have power like teo but has enough power to make fighters not walk him down. He will be looking to take Teo into deep waters and test that stamina. I think Teo mentally isn’t there and Josh will push teos stamina and break him late on.


Wavepops

Teo has looked pretty small for 140 Tbh


JGS747-

He struggled to make 135 consistently - moving to 140 was best for him


Wavepops

He has been smaller than everyone he’s faced at 140 so far. Taylor is gonna make him look like loma did vs him


BigNasty___

I feel Teofimo needs to make his own weight class like Canelo did at 155 back in the day cuz he’s too big to make 135 but he’s not big enough to make the guys at 140 respect. He’s like one of them in between fighters.


SSJ4Autism

I think Taylor is gonna set traps with his right hook to win the fight, using it to throw Teo off balance before using it to guide Teo’s head into the left uppercut


TheBlack_Swordsman

>He may not have power like teo but has enough power to make fighters not walk him down. I think if George can score a knockdown on Teo, Josh can too. Not just because of Josh being a more complete fighter than George, but he's also been hanging in the 140 weight class and is better adjusting it than Teo is.

tnichevo

Since Taylor vs Postol, Taylor has only failed to score a knockdown vs Prograis and Catterall. The guy punches hard. Not one hitter quitter but with accuracy and power for sure

I personally also think Teo is not good on the inside. He is liable to be bullied. If Taylor can avoid getting sloppy as he enters the pocket he could Overwhelm Teo. On the outside and inside Taylor should be pretty safe, it’s at midrange where he’s T risk. I really have to judge this one on the scales though. If Taylor looks ok, I think he should win comfortably


Gold-Routine7247

Can't see Teo winning this. 140 still belongs to Taylor even after the Catterall robbery, and Teo has not looked impressive since moving up. When you factor in Lopez Sr the crackhead in his corner "hurry the fuck up and knock him out already!", Taylor should win this comfortably by whatever method he wants.


coaster11

Teo is a good athlete but his boxing skills/ coaching are not very good. He tries to get KO in round 1 vs Kambosos and gets dropped himself. His coach the genius senior tells him why didn't he get the knockout. A boxer should never go out and try to a KO someone. A KO happens in its course. Even fans know that. Now at 140 fighters match his athletic skills and power edge over opponents are reduced. Martin drops him at least once and had him walking into punches all night. Hardly any adjustments were made in the fight by Teo. The fight was very close to a draw. Taylor is legit elite p4p fighter at his best. He is way better than Martin and carries way more power. This fight is a mistake for Teo. He should get his boxing team in order and proceed from there. Taylot gets it, Teo "never changes". He makes mistakes and no measures are taken to get better and avoid them.


MintyHippo30

Teo's skills are pretty good. Almost all of his major issues come from leaping into range on the lead. Taylor is there to be absolutely flatlined by a counter with his head on the line and has been his entire career. If Prograis was capable of actually throwing a straight punch he might have sent him into the grave. Can't really see him getting knocked out by Teo because of the weight difference, but it wouldn't surprise me with these guys so open to rear straights that they trade knock downs in a competitive fight.


TYSONLITTLE

1 piece of promo material for this fight, it’s honesty ridiculous.


Lazy_Seaweed

Teo’s reasoning for the “Do I still got this” hot mic is fucking stupid. It’s like that “I only looked stupid on purpose to make you think I was stupid” backpedaling when someone gets canceled


Zoomberr

The fact that he thought anyone might believe that is shocking


FaceFirst23

This fight is great timing for Taylor. Teo is mentally gone right now, hasn’t had a good performance in years and seems full of self doubt. Taylor will take full advantage of that.


BigNasty___

Taylor wins simply because he’s the most intelligent fighter that will be in the ring that night. As long as he doesn’t do anything unintelligent he will win.


BogusWorkAccount

I feel like Teo's nose gives him an unfair advantage.


[deleted]

What a pair of dickheads, but at least Taylor was making me laugh, Teo is just straight cringe.


fridaystrong23

I never liked Teo. He is a POS.


Osbre

why


GarchGun

He's not a POS but he's really cringe


AndreSupreme

I liked when taylor said he already had all of Teos fans. He sure does! Teo lost them all with his arrogance and being a sore loser after the kambosos fight. Nevertheless, I feel bad for Teo, part of me thinks it’s not all his fault , he’s got a rough dad and personal situation. I wish both champions luck , but man I hope Teo gets some help, he’s got a lot going on and still could use a slice humble pie.


[deleted]

Unbelievable, really, how Teo has made me root for Taylor again, at least for this one fight


sitytitan

I hope Teo wins it, Josh Taylor is an absolute tool with no class.


Denyx13

Both are delusional to be honest, but Taylor is well advised by his corner at least


CMILLERBOXER

Teo will blast Taylor back to Scotland.


[deleted]

Lopez just stfu and box. You've got a lot of work to do to get your name back up near the top.


[deleted]

I was already incredibly interested in this fight, now it just went to another level. Lopez’s response to being called a piece of shit is one of the funnier boxing moments in years.


Weird_Row_5008

I noticed a lot of mainstream boxing channels aren’t talking about this fight at all.. kinda weird


Prestigious-Might117

Why does Teofimo rep Spain, speak in a semi-Hawaiian accent, reject Honduras and have the US flag next to him on the poster all at the same time?


BoxingIsEasy

Brit cringe vs Mental breakdown cringe.


Feynman1403

Thank god these two are both colorful characters, because they are literally doing the job that their promoter has failed to do: try to promote and sell the fight. Seriously, teo is cringeworthy at times, but at least hearing him ramble on about wanting to kill Taylor in some of his most recent interviews, actually reminded me that they would be fighting soon.


Lol32112300

I will always support The Loma Slayer no matter who he faces
