Being able to beat a taller man, particularly in the lower divisions, is a sign of real boxing talent. If Lopez was as good as he thinks he is, he'd be able to. He isn't.
Max needs to put this out regularly
I feel like the show should be called "Boxing to the Max"
He got married, career went down the drain ..... seen it happen to a lot of boxers ....many dont make it.... mom's know what's up, his knew what was coming that's why she wasnt ok with the wedding👍🏽
A beast is born a beast no matter the situation, situations like this should motivate fighters further to go on a divisional tear. Teo just aint cut from that cloth like Tyson & Marquez.
Heavily calling out Loma has now backfired.
Nakatani’s face @ 3.05. Teo keeping it real better to stay away for Loma for now and keep the trash talk away. Max’s face when he said “ you still have your eyes on Lomachenko” was gold lol.
Damn, Max hitting em with all those uppercuts, jabs and rights lol

Everyone overlooks the fact that nakatani and most Japanese fighters are good. In the end Teofimo will go down as one of boxing's greats.
No excuses man ,you ran into a tough fighter that gave you all you could handle ...like Andre Ward said get back to the jab and keep your hands up ...learn and grow
Everytime I watch a fight with a "casual" fan the "Casual" fan understand and see's the danger more then the boxing fans. I watched KT V Delfien Persoon with my mom and brother and they said THIS IS BRUTAL. THEY ARE GONNA and THEY ARE KILLING EACH OTHER and STOP THE FIGHT.
