Thanks, Claggett though is a tough costumer here, a volume puncher but he has no power. But Teo Lopez looks very uncomfortable in this fight and just wanting to fight in the corner and not in the middle, so it's weird strategy for him.
Are we going to see a upset here? Hard to score the fights as it based on Lopez few punches but with power and just countering, but Claggett is the more aggressive and throwing a lot of punches. Lopez eye is swelling, it means that he is getting in Lopez with that volume.
So let's see if Lopez can pull through in the last next of the fight. He needs to show something here, otherwise another lackluster performance and not impressively.
Claggett kept coming forward and made Teo look bad, but he did not win many rounds. Claggett looked more like a sparring partner, rather than a world champion contender. Coming in with seven losses on his record, we expected that Teo would dominate but it was yet another underwhelming performance.
I'm must surprised by the score though, I thought that Claggett did more early and could have at least score some more round. Yeah, it looks like a sparring match for Teo but Claggett keeps on coming forward to him and even though there are times that Claggett looks hurt, Teo can't finished him out.
At 140 lbs Teo does not have the devastating knockout power that defined the early part of his career. He is also not the greatest technician so he will likely continue to struggle against these types of opponents. He needs to fight somebody like Haney or Ryan Garcia to bring out the best in him, but unfortunately those fighters’ careers are currently in limbo.
I do agree with this, he doesn't have the power that he had at 135 lbs, although he still have that speed, but the impact on his opponents are not the same anymore. He said though that he knows what he expects in this fight as Claggett is a triathlon athlete according to him, so he knows that he will be coming forward. It's good if him and Pitbull Cruz will be next, we will the same aggressive style but with power.
