    Teo is so hot and cold I wouldn't be surprised if he blows Taylor out.

    Yeah wouldn't be much of a shock at all, Teo can bang, Taylor has an aggressive style where he stands right in front of his opponent and he could be drained at the weight leaving him susceptible to his power, all could add up to a surprise but not shocking KO of Taylor.

    I think that Taylor is gonna bless Teo with his first knockout loss.

    I've been screaming for some time now that the top level at 140 is better than the top level at 135 but no one is listening. For some reason everyone is thinking that all the top guys at 135 are just gonna move up and make a hostile takeover of JWW...........no. They aren't.

    Now we're pitting someone who was probably only #5 (despite that excellent win) at 135 against either 1a or 1b at 140...........who has shown over 2 fights at the weight he is not gonna have the same success at the higher weight. I give Teo no chance.

    He did it once with Loma, he can do it again with Taylor

    He must be coming up for his mid 50s if not now in a year or two max but he still acts like a teenage punk :facepalm:

    I got Taylor winning but it wouldn't be that much of an upset if Tep wins would it?

    It's not looking good for him to legitimately get the win. He lost his titles & got kd'd to a shorter smaller man at 135, then blamed the loss on being too big for the division. Then went to 140 and still looked like ****. Now he's fighting someone big and skilled.

    Feo keeps getting decisions in close fights so anything can happen on the cards with the shade in boxing. This is the kind of fight you don't bet on, I will stay away from serious predictions, watch, and hope for a ko so there's a decisive winner either way. They both might stink up the joint and there will be excuses flying all over the place, you can bet on that.

    especially inbetween rounds in the corner. Zero strategical or technical advice. Just pump u up stuff.

    I hope for Teo's sake, he drops his dad and gets a real trainer. Teo seems like a good guy and i get the sense that his dad is a dark cloud and huge negative in his life, almost like a poison.
