Poor Tevin, has all the boxing skills you could ask for but imagine if he had knockout power
In reality, your statement is spot on.
He reminds me of a boxer named Oba Carr from the 90s. All the tools in the world, but lacked the fistic intelligence to put it all together. Same with Farmer, if he had the brains, he would be dangerous. 3.5 years out of the ring spelled the end for him. A few trinket wins, but no belt fr here on end.
He is nothing like Oba Carr and you obviously have a low boxing IQ, seeing Oba lost only to the best in title fights Like Trinidad, Ike Quartey, & Oscar and had a 54-6-1 record He also stopped 74-3 Luis Ramon Campas, beat Frankie Randall, Derrell Coley, and Livingstone Bramble at only 17 years of age. So before you compair know your shit!
Struck a nerve there punchy? Again, he had the tools, but lacked the brains to get it done. It’s not a knock on Oba, it is what it is. If he was that good, he would have had a belt for a while, but he didn’t. So save your tough guy attitude for someone who’s phased by keyboard soy-boys.
Happy gobble-gobble
Oba Carr was a hellava fighter. Only lost to the very best.
Oba Carr had world class everything! He unfortunately came up in a golden era for 147.
You had Ike Quartey, Felix Trinidad, Oscar De La Hoya.
I was always a huge fan of Carr. Beautiful style in the ring. He was right out of the ABCs of boxing and I think he beat Quartey. My knock on him is that he did not know how to put a plan together on the fly. He had ALL the necessary tools to be a champ. Today, he would have cleaned house, with the exception on Bud.
What channel is the fight on?
