    If I understand his conspiracy, he’s saying that Kambosos is easy for Haney to beat. So even though Teo easily beat Kambosos (in his mind), DAZN wanted the easy fight for Haney (not Teo the tough fight). DAZN setting up Haney with the easy win against Kambosos.
    That still doesn’t explain why Teo was dropped and everyone has Kambosos winning that fight though. Teo’s delusional thinking was helpful in getting him to his career highlight, but I have a feeling it’s going to be his downfall going forwards. He’s clearly mentally unwell, I don’t see his story having a happy ending.

    That’s not what he’s saying, he’s claiming he absolutely won and there was a conspiracy behind it. That is a very unique situation.

    How are they comparable? Lomachenko thought he won the fight. He didn’t claim there was a conspiracy theory or anything like that, he wanted to fight him again. Teo wants to run away from the division and from any discussion about Kambosos.

    Because he obviously didn't, gave away the first half, and made an excuse while claiming he still won.

    As you said, plenty of fighters make excuses afterwards. They don’t claim that a whole network conspired with the judges/officials to see them lose just so one of their fighters has an easier opponent down the track. Serious question, do you have some affiliation with Teo? This is flat earth conspiracy type nonsense, it’s not typical at all so I’m just wondering what you’re playing at here.

    I do like Teo and I wish him the best, I think he’s done because of his mental weaknesses and dishonesty but I’d love for him to prove me wrong. Josh Taylor doesn’t seem as formidable as before so I’m cheering for Teo in that one if it happens

    Only difference is he never took an obvious L before.

    No this is not like one of those situations. Lopez sounds like Wilder in there. He is delusional beyond belief, claiming the fight was fixed and they rigged it in favor of Kambosos. The way he says it even sounds mentally broken and unwell. You had Mark back away from Lopez after he heard that crap

    I can only explain the same thing so many times...he made excuses and still claimed that he won a fight he really lost. The schizophrenic thinking.

    I see a fighter that is in total denial. He was supposed to be the second coming of Roberto Duran at 135 lbs, but that loss just devastated him.
