I don't want to say anything for Teixeira.Despite being 43 years old, he can stand for 25 minutes. Full respectfully.
We can look on that situation from another angle. What kind of champion Jamahal Hill is, if he cant handle a 43 years old fighter that is to retire in any minute. Jamahal Hill barely is able to make more than two title defences. Who will he face next? The real champion Jiri Prochazka? And even if he manages to win Prochazka, what he is going to do against Magomed Ankalaev and Jan Blachowicz? One is an elite wrestler, and any Blachowicz strike is like being hit by a train.
That's what I call looking from the right angle. We saw that Jamahal Hill lost in his first belt protection match. Let me tell you why, some friends said that Jahamal slowed down in the last rounds because Glover was so battered, but they were wrong. After hitting the high kick, he was throwing high kicks again, and when he tied the hits, he was throwing completely finishing hits, although he could not finish. That's why Glover deserved respect. What will happen when Jiri Prochazka returns from injury? Or is there any chance of winning when faces Magomed Ankalaev? Totally the opportunity has come to him now he can sleep with the belt it's ok , they will wake him up in the first fight.
