Comments Thread For: Ellerbe on Davis-Barrios Criticism: Are You Kidding Me? This Is A Dangerous Fight For Tank

[Satir]

people who call this dangerous and intriguing will predict a KO win for Davis anyway, why is that

[robbyheartbaby]

This is a good fight i think most boxing fans are just frustrated Tank and the other top dogs at 135 ain't fighting, obviously Tank sees something in Barrios that he can exploit and wants to try his hand at 140 instead.

Are you kidding me barrios is taking and extra million from floyd just to take a dive

Its wild to see how many people can knock a fighter they dont like no matter what he does. Gamboa was old and washed up and Leo was a 118 pounder that swelled in weight just for Tank to fight him according some of these so called boxing fans. The madness of it is Tank takes on a reasonable threat at a higher weight and somehow he's still cherry picking. You cant make this stuff up. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FIGHT AT A HIGHER WEIGHT CLASS PEOPLE! Get over it the little dude is taking risks plain and simple.

Gamboa WAS shot. What are you talking about? Leo was the smaller fighter. That's why Tank went after him and not one of the top fighters in his own weight class. It's all cherry picking. He cried on Twitter about Floyd trying to "Get him beat" by putting him in there against Loma.

Which top fighter in the weight class Davis is operating in has he took on? No one. He's a serial ducker. Anyone trying to paint a different picture is just flat out lying. Barrios is a decent fighter, don't get me wrong. But he lost his fight against Akhmedov but got a gift. This is a cherry pick. A weaker fighter, which is just what Davis wants.

This is an amazing fight, remember he is going up 3 weight classes against a young hungry lion in his prime. Canelo won't do that, Lomahcenko won't do that, Spence won't do that, even Charlo won't do that now.

It isn't too late to kick the crack habit you know. I'm with you brother. I wish you the best.

Lol i love this thread. The real fans bashing this pos ppv fight whereas the froid/pbc fangirls are defending it

[shenmue]

I ain't paying so i can't complain but as a first fight at 140 this is a good test, for all we know this could be a division too big for tank and if it is barrios will expose him and win due to size and the power difference in the weight classes.

Barrios is s much harder fight than leo Santa cruz on paper at least.

I get the rage of this being PPV, but the fight itself, is really intriguing, I really don't get all the hate of this matchup

Tank hasn't done anything since beating Pedraza. What he hasn't done with his career deserves the backlash he gets but I think here a lot of guys are just kind of on auto pilot, firing out typical complaints. It's not for a real title and Barrios is no Josh Taylor but yeah, I'm with you, this is a good fight.

Lmao it's going to look like Spence-Ocampo or Canelo-Fielding

Canelo vs Fielding is exactly the fight I had in my minds eye that this will go similar too.

I seriously do not get people who think Barrios is some threat. The guy is one of the lowest ranked title holders in boxing. And those folks ranking ain't crazy in that assessment. There is nothing he does better than Tank. And Tank is only moving up 5lbs (10lbs if you wanna pretend he never won a title at 135 like some seem to be doing). And I mean okay its a fight, crazy sh^t can & does happen all the time, but assuming crazy sh^t don't happen this is a wide Tank as the favorite fight. Probably 80/20 Tank.
