    Kind of strange to think a guy as young as Lopez, with a win over a top p4pe and only 1 loss, might be involved in a must win. But Lopez career so far has been a real rollercoaster, in and out of the ring, and that's not usually a recipe for longevity. And while I think he's live, I figure Taylors sharpshooting left hand will find the target a bit too often.

    Weird, I see it the exact opposite... Taylor will time Lopez bullrush a bit too often

    Jack carter all had a decent recent win. Versus a nobody, but he's active and still decent so might figure again yet.

    Another reason why I said a win is more important for Fimo.

    If Josh loses, the UK will still want the Jack rematch.

    If Fimo loses, he's fucked and out of options. Without a belt, Fimo has zero pull, because he's not a draw.

    He'd have to bend over and serve as the B-side if Haney, Shakur, Tank, or Ryan wanted to fight him.

    'Fimo's a LIVE Dog @ Those Odds Brother Baron, But it Honestly Boils Down to WHO 'Fimo Sr. Has HELPING Him in His Son's Corner on Fightnight...

    REED Had Similar Doubts About Bill Haney Navigating His Son to a WIN Over Loma, But Bill Had Yoel Judah in the Corner Assisting, As it Turned Out...Some of 'Fimo Jr's BEST Work Came when Joey Gamache was LOWKEY Doing the Actual Training, Yet Allowing Sr. to Bask in the Camera Time...On Jr's WORST Night (Kambosos), 'Fimo Sr. Appeared to Be the ONLY Voice in His Son's Corner...

    Those Odds May NOT Stay Where They Are Currently, But REED's Personally Waiting Until Fight Week, When There's an Indication of WHO ALL Will Be in 'Fimo's Corner...Because if 'Fimo Sr. is Again the ONLY Voice, Jr. AIN'T Beating Josh Taylor, Not Even a Weight Drained One...

    I wonder if Lopez is starting to get into Taylor’s head.

    Fimo told Punsh Drunk that his wife filed for divorce and he hasn't seen his son.

    That can't be helping his mental state.

    I don't think he's in Josh's head. I just think Josh doesnt like him and wants to hurt him.

    Not sure why there is this groundswell for Taylor to win

    They're both cunts, it ain't like taylor is some saint who behaves with integrity

    It's Fimo's delusion that's caused him to lose fans.

    Taylor thinks he won the Catt fight, but at least admits it was a close fight. He said he wasn't a his best, but he didn't go off the deep end with excuses.

    Contrast that to Fimo, who believes he beat Bozos by a mile (a mentally ill statement), and on top of that, claims he beat Bozos by a mile while on death's door (another joke).

    Now, I do side with Fimo about what's happening to him outside the ring. I, too, endured a messy divorce with a cunt who used my kid as a pawn. So, I empathize with Fimo there. I know how toxic and draining women can be, and I understand fully well how it's impacting him.

    But still, he's a person who takes zero accountability.

    Josh comes across as a guy who's more honest about himself.

    Yeah I'd put some on Fimo, but honestly after watching a bunch of his fights I decree that he's basically a leap-amateur with power and a decent beard.

    Can a leap-amateur with power and beard take down Taylor? Yes possibly lol, hence worth a bet.

    Yes not only did Fimo win every single round 10-8, but he did so with Stage 4 terminal lung cancer.

    The GREATEST irony is that he had JUST lectured Wilder in the media about making excuses. Then, he turns into Wilder Junior.

    Foley is a horrible bloke to fight - gangly, slow as mud, but utterly relentless and hard to kill.

    I do see Neil's point in that, neither guy is exactly Alexis Arguello in terms of likability. But Taylor's a lot easier to stomach.

    Lopez is a low IQ dummy. It's just simply that. He's fucking DUMB.

    I think both are unlikeable. Josh with his phoney pre fight hate for his opponents every fight and Teo is just very ignorant and gassed up.

    But if I was to have a beer or a whiskey with one of them, I’d probably have on with Josh, because I cannot stomach Teo even though I believe he is going to win.

    Good video. Teo is clearly not in a good place, mentally. I still think he should win this fight due to his youth and speed advantage because Taylor really gets hit ALOT. But Teo really needs to consider firing his pops and hiring a more mature figure in his corner.

    agREED...

    Hopefully 'Fimo Doesn't Have to Endure a 2nd Loss Before REALIZING This...REED Ain't Even Saying He Needs to Kick his Ol' Man Completely to the Curb, But 'Fimo Sr Definitely Needs to Be a SOFTER/QUIETER Voice in His Son's Boxing Affairs...Get a REAL Trainer and Let Sr. Carry the Spit Bucket or Just Sit Ringside...

    Right Now, 'Fimo Sr. is Sooooooooooo THIRSTY, He was Literally OVERTALKING His Son in Now the Infamous Punsh Drunk Video...No One's There to Listen to YOU Bruh!!!...Literally, Have You EVER Heard Sr. Say the Word "Teofimo"? :Jest: No, Because Whenever He Speaks About Jr. it's Always "My Son, My Son, My Son"...

    The DELUSIONAL, The EXCUSES, the Grandiose STORIES, That's ALL 'Fimo Sr...

    Seems like annoying dads are becoming more and more common in boxing. Before a few years ago, i can only rebember O'Grady and to a lesser extent mosley dads doing it (probably forgetting a ton of them though), but nowadays, it seems like almost half of the top fighters have their dad trying to glory hog from them. Social media is probably to blame for this sad trend
