Scoby has fast hands but telegraphed and not accurate enough to trouble someone at Azim’s level. Was disappointed the writing was on the wall after the second when it was clear Scoby would just shell up. His only chance was to roll the dice. He’d have probably been stopped earlier but it was his only slim chance of doing anything. Azim was class tonight I thought but it was very comfortable against a sitting duck.
Fast hands, reasonably good punch selection, but his power is very clearly not elite and we have know idea how he'll respond when he faces someone with comparable physical gifts. As of now, he's not a threat to Teo, the top dog at 140lbs. Indeed, if Azim was a Hispanic kid from East LA, nobody would be talking about him.
Agreed. Frampton said on commentary that the fight with Smith should wait until one of them wins a world title. To make it a bigger fight. Just total rubbish. The fight is devalued if one of them loses a world title fight. Get them in together now. It’s a huge fight without the title.
Next year Adam will get a world title shot , probably not Teo, but one of the other holders so then you will see first hand what time it is , and what he like with fighters who may appear to have similar gifts lol .. The goal is to get to Teo too , don't worry about that ..
I'm not worried. More importantly, Teo isn't worried. Lopez would outbox and maybe even stop this kid, and no amount of nuthugging on your part changes that fact.
Love it .. wait and see .. btw Teo stopped stopping fighters lol his last KO win was 3 years ago .. lol
Teo's power hasn't carried as well at 140lbs. That much is certainly true. Nevertheless, I doubt a scrub like Scoby makes 12rds against Teo. Either way, Teo hits harder than Azim, is physically stronger, and has fought much better competition.
Don't know about physically stronger Adam lacks his man strength so by the time they face each other won't be too much of a factor. Adam will have reach and speed advantage. Obviously he fought at higher level and rightly he the best 140lber .. Adam will first target the other belt holders first and go from there.
