    Then scorecards are so bad.

    What is it with Teo. Beats Loma and Taylor then turns in crap performances against Ortiz, Martin and Kambosos.

    He employed the exact same tactics which are textbook modern US slickness and get certain fighters heralded as master boxers and them fast tracked up the P4P rankings. Only difference is he didn't hug Teofimo 100 times.

    As an American, I prefer aggression as well, but effective aggression. Nothing Lopez did was effective.

    He was much worse than anything Mayweather has ever done.

    I don't think it's similar to Davis-Pedraza at all because Pedraza would have given a better effort if he was younger and undefeated. Lopez and Kambosos were both in their primes, Kambosos just fought the better fight that night. Pedraza was a shell of himself.

    I wasn't talking about Floyd albeit they would'v e scored that a shutout for him too had he put in the exact same performance.

    I still can't believe what just happened. When I heard the 117-111 scorecard I was like wow! they're going to do the right thing for a change. Just think about that scorecard for a second. 117-111 for Teofimo? WTF?!

    What I mean by similar is that both Lopez and Pedraza were fighting aggressive while both Davis and Kambosos used their opponents aggression to beat them.

    I'd agree if Pedraza was in his prime. Pedraza gave what he could, but he was clearly with an empty clip.

    For sure Pedraza is done as a top world level fighter. But Pedraza didn't fight very smart, maybe because his body didn't let him or maybe because he chose the wrong game plan, but he was way too aggressive to beat Davis. Pedraza didn't try to feint much or set traps, he just tried to outright Davis.

    Same with Lopez. He went into the Kambosos fight promising a KO. He had no plan B.

    No plan B but he was alot more competitive against Kambosos than he was Ortiz.

    I respect your opinion but I disagree. I thought tonight's fight was more competitive than Kambosos-Lopez. I do admit I've only seen the K-L fight once when it aired live, but I thought Kambosos clearly won. Tonight I felt it was very close with neither fighter doing anything, much much less than the K-L fight.
