  • Claggett’s supposed to be the sacrificial lamb, but Lopez is such a hot and cold fighter with almost as many mental issues as Ryan Garcia, just about anything could happen.

  • THE ONLY reason why I will be watching is because I don’t have DAZN!! Estrada vs Bam is the fight to watch IMO

    • Hey, BoriMex to one Mexican American to another, in boxing you never know what can happen in the ring. Just ask haney. You have to back up lopez and make him fight on the back of his heels, cut that ring off him and blast him on those ropes and dont wast your punches. Counter his counters, you better be in shape. Take those early rounds, make him panic! But most of all be smart!

    • Watch the highlights on YouTube. Why waste your money making these fighters and promoters rich? PPV is one of the biggest rip-off’s around and has been for a
      long time. All of the other networks are a scam as well. Boxing fans wake TF up.
      Stop supporting people that don’t care about you. Stop throwing your money away on frivolous things. You don’t have to see the damn fight on fight night. Just delay that
      gratification and watch for free a few days later. There used to be great fights on the
      free networks back in the day. We need to go back to those days. The power of the purse belongs to us. These promoters and money grubbing networks need to take a hike. No I
      don’t support the sport like I used to. It’s the
      business of boxing that sucks. Aside from all of that, great sport.

      • Man, are you sooooo right! I wait a few hours sometimes to see a fight. Dazn actually does something when someone records it to make it go forward then back again. Wait it out.

      • You thinking its the good ol days when there was networks interested in hosting fights. The fans need to wake TF up and see things are simply different.
        Now you want Promoters to put together fights and pay a network to broadcast the fight for you to sit and watch it for free. You didnt reach heaven yet. And dont expect to get there with too many Blunders.

        • Advertising and sponsorships paid for those fights, Jersey. Problem is,
          the numbers have changed and the dingbats are more than willing to fork over the paper to watch. The alphabet networks now are more interested in golf and butch females
          running up and down a basketball court. Times done changed, but I didn’t. No boxing in heaven, BTW.
          No need for it there.

        • Then promoters need to put on the fights fans demand. Simple. It’s hard to justify a pay per view that has a poor undercard and one good fight for $80. Fighters at the highest levels are getting paid. Fighters back in the day didn’t have tic toc, YouTube, etc. They get paid off of that. It’s the fighters coming up that don’t get paid for what they do, but guess what one brick city, you gotta start somewhere it handed to you. Like plus said, advertising is huge these days.

  • Here’s to Ali Walsh getting his ass handed to him again unless the judges rob him.

  • Teofimo is calling out Bud. He says he’ll fight him at 154. I say do it. Teo gets up for the big fights. You
    have to think Lopez probably walks around at 165 anyways. Waiting for all the Crawford fans to chime in. I like Bud too. I’m not sure how effective either
    guy will be in the higher weight classes. We shall see. Oh, the drama! hehe

    • Bud would blast and pound on a running Teo. Bud would stop Teo and make him retire for good!

  • From the neck going up Claggett resembles Bivol.
    Looks like he could be his little brother.

  • If Teofimo see’s this, don’t go straight into some super fight at 154. Get acclimated first. Try to knock off Tszyu or Fundora. Maybe Spence. Avoid
    Charles Conwell at all costs. Then fight Bud. You have to build up the demand. Build up the brand.
    I’d like to see Crawford versus Conwell. Most likely,
    that never happens. Charles Conwell…. you sir, are
    too good for your own good. I don’t think they want
    your smoke at 154.

    • Plus, Are you kidding? These youngsters nowadays don’t think about working for it. They want that big fight handed to them.

      • What ever happened to Papa Haney?
        He’s been as quiet as a church mouse lately. My how the mighty have fallen.
        I hear you, KK.

  • Lopez is not the must-see fighter I thought he would be. That Loma win gave him an over-inflated attitude. Kambosos only won because Teo was arrogant. As for the Ortiz and Martin fights, they could both easily have losses.

    • Kambosos fought a like a lion against Teo.
      That night Kambosos had the heart of a lion.
      I wanted to see Jamaine Ortiz vs Shakur.
      Doubt that ever happens. I’m waiting for
      Curmel Moton to move up to 135 in a couple
      years. He’s going to do some DAMAGE.

  • teo calls outs and badmouths everyone when he has a fight coming up to “sell his current fight” . he is not fighting anyone that has a chance to beat him unless his opponent is injured , old , weight drained, inactive, or all of the above. kambosos , sandor martin , and ortiz were miscalculations or cherry picks gone wrong. he is not fighting crawford , not even in sparring. Its sad to see how people believe Teo’s B.S.
