This Teo interview with ESPN is wild, dude is bugged out

come on man...how can anybody confidently put money on this kid to win tomorrow?

his life seems to be in shambles. his father's life probably been in shambles for decades, so it's regular.

:mjlol: @ bill haney saying he stopped by the liquor store looking for teo's dad and they said he had just missed him.

I'm finding this one hard to call. Taylor seems to always find a way to win, but for a P4P caliber fighter he drops a lot of rounds and gets into a lot of wars. Both fighters looked terrible in their last outings, with Taylor benefitting from a robbery, and Teo eeking past a Southpaw. I don't pay much attention to pre fight shenanigans so I don't know what's going on with Teo, though I hear it's bad. Still I'm leaning to a close decision for Teo. Taylor seems weirdly susceptible to left jabs, and seems to end every fight with a messed up right eye. If Teo's at his best I think he can just about outbox Taylor and pull of an upset. I'm not at all confident about it though.

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
I almost feel sorry for Teo.

Almost.

— Married a girl that his family didn’t want him to marry.
— Started having Ted Lasso ass panic attacks and shyt because of the drama.
— Him and ol’ girl don’t workout. You know his family be sitting around looking at him like, “:ufdup: We tried to tell your ass.”
— Got a gift decision against Nakatani, and blamed his performance on his personal life. Now, every fight beforehand his personal life is always in question.
— Has a lot of natural ability but has a shyt-head and overbearing father that DKSAB boxing as his trainer—who has taken him as far as he can take him. Yet, it’s his dad. He kind of feels beholden to him and shyt.
— Loses to Kambosos. Talks about he could’ve died during the match and couldn't breath and shyt.
— Goes full MAGA, Jesus is Lord, full conspiracy theorist. Says something racist, inflammatory, or idiotic every other day.
— Loses to Martin and gets a gift decision.
— Now he’s on some Biggie “Ready to Die” shyt.

Weirdly, I feel like Teo might be a guy that just fights to the level of his competition. I could see him looking good tonight. I could also see him getting washed. I guess we’ll know soon.
