    Keith Tapia was hyped as hell, and Tabiti just easily won a decision against him. I missed the fight, but the scorecards/scene report said it was fairly easy but an ugly fight. I've seen several Tabiti fights but fights against low level opposition, so it's hard to judge him.

    I know Tabiti will get a lot of hate since he's TMT, but how do people rate him? Is he the future of the cruiser division?

    I wouldn't call it easily, the rounds were close, but Tabiti landed the cleaner shots to win them, and I'm not sure when Tapia has been hyped to hell, I haven't done a thread on him yet, because I didn't think he was good enough for one. So a win over him doesn't mean a whole lot to me. He went life and death with Garrett Wilson who got stopped by Slava Shabranskyy and schooled by Thabiso Mchunu, and Tapia didn't come close, but Wilson rocked him several times.

    Tabiti has zero chance of making a name for himself at Cruiserweight, he'll be devoured by most of the top 20, same goes for Tapia as well.

    I wasn't impressed with anyone tonight tbh... The US cw aside from old Cunningham is just dreadful at the moment. Most of the good CW talent at the moment is either out of Europe or Africa.

    He's hyped like crazy in the YTBC. People were touting him as teh next big Rican.

    We'll see, I know you hate TMT :lol:, and I actually do hate a lot of TMT members, but Tabiti is looking to be another legit guy along with Jack.

    Well guess what....YTBCDKSAB:deal

    Tapia is average and Tabiti is average, and if you don't take my word for it, look at the thread IB did on this match, most of the other posters don't like Tabiti all that much either. Face TMT kind of sucks. All of them, except for maybe Jack.

    Not a chance. Steve is levels above him. I've just seen Tabiti struggle with Tapia who is pretty average and a few months back look horrid against a doughy little out of shape Mexican guy named Roberto Santos, he went the distance.

    I'm not just being mean to Tabiti, he gets devour by the majority of the top 30 at Cruiserweight, Makabu would eviscerate him, Bellew would too.

    Tabiti is not a good fighter and he is not very active, so that does not help at all. Jesse Vargas left TMT for a reason. The boss is great but that's all anyone cares about and that's all the boss talks about is himself.

    He looked sensational against Sladjan Janjanin and okay the one or two other times I've seen him, the jury is still out, but he's definitely going in the right direction.

    Vargas is awful too lol, i dont knwo why you guys are hyping this kid. Did you guys forget his fights against Khabib and the other russian guy? He went life and death with a guy broner nearly killed. Vargas beats Ali and now he's suddenly some great WW. Vargas is the worst WW champ by far.
