The event will be taking place at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida. Claggett is Teofimo’s baby, a fighter that he wanted and chose over these top-level fighters: – Raymond Muratalla – Elvis Rodriguez – Kenneth Sims Jr. – Keyshawn Davis Top Rank’s choice of Claggett is unusual because he’s not well known in the U.S. It makes Teofimo look like his promoters have no confidence in him anymore after his recent poor performances against Jamaine Ortiz, Sandor Martin, Pedro Campa, and George Kambosos Jr. More and more, Teofimo is looking like a one-hit wonder, another Kambosos Jr. Given that this is a showcase fight for Teofimo, he must look good. He fought poorly in his last fight and lost in the eyes of the boxing public, which will not help Teofimo’s popularity. Teofimo’s popularity, such as it is, will drop from this fight because Claggett is more journeymen-level. The timing of this match is horrible, with Teo coming off a gift decision against Jamaine Ortiz last February. Read: Shakur Stevenson vs. Artem on July 6th, Live on ESPN+ Teofimo should have cleared up the controversy from his fight against Jamaine by giving him a rematch, but Top Rank likely saw the writing on the wall. Jamaine showed that he’s the superior fighter to Teofimo, and if they made that rematch, the judges might not bail Teo out the second time as they did last February. That would be Teofimo’s second career defeat or third if you count his match against Sandor Martin as a loss from their fight in 2022. With all the options available for Teofimo to fight at 140, it’s telling that Top Rank chose to match him against the fringe contender Claggett. That’s a red flag that they have no faith in Teofimo’s ability to beat good contenders, so they will play it safe until they can line him up for a big-money fight against Devin Haney or Ryan Garcia.
