Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: Always Ready To Break My Opponents, I Just Keep Coming In All My Fights

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

There was a time when those same "Top Fighters" were knocking out no names too! I have seen Barrios fight, and he can fight! I was actually mad at Prograis for not fighting him! Akhmedov gave him all kinds of problems but HE DROPPED HIM TWICE! Then he destroyed Ryan Karl, which he should have! I think your underestimating Barrios, probably out of hate for Tank. This is a good test for Tank @ 140, seeing how his last fight was @ 130! I hope Tank wins, and I hope he follows up with Regis Prograis!

give him props IF he fights Prograis..which is unlikely given his last 3 opponents. Akhmedov had 7 fights and gave him problems in a fight many thought Barrios lost!! Thats saying something!! Good test for Davis and he is the big favorite…call it wat u want Bro! Ko “no names” - exactly!! Doesn’t necessarily translate into “power”. Pernell Whitaker - 17 kos..Gamboa - 18 kos…Lsc - 19 kos…are they considered power punchers?? Obviously not but with ur logic of the kos being against “pro fighters” i guess they r to u.”Kos are Kos”

No one was calling Gamboa "Feather-Fisted" When Crawford fought him. It's all about the timing! It's too early to put that label on Barrios, especially since he's coming off a KO! Akhmedov had very few fights...like Lomachenko! That's why he got a title shot in only 7 fights (7 stoppages!). I'm sure you were aware of that. I get it though, you hate Tank. That's cool, but it's unfair to hate on Barrios!

dont hate Tank - has the goods and seems to b the real deal….just wont risk that 0! No legit challenges or 50/50 or or at least 60/40 fights. Taking on the 10th ranked junior ww for a “regular” vacant paper title is no risk. Call it what it is - a cherry-pick title grab against an average fighter who happens to have a HISPANIC last name to sell ppvs and so Pbc can sell Davis as a 3 division title holder. Haymon obviously knows it wont sell against an average black or white fighter. To ur other points - so r saying Gamboa was or is a “power puncher” at anytime in his career? What ko was so impressive and showed he had above average power? Barrios coming off a ko….against some nobody U STATED he was EXPECTED to DESTROY- wat does that prove? And comparing Akmedov to Loma in ANY way is just ridiculous! Just bc ur 7/0 with 7 kos doesn’t mean u deserve a title shot…even for a crap VACANT title! Loma gave GRJ his 1st and ONLY loss in his 3rd pro fight in a 50/50 fight so dont compare him to an average fighter with a suspect chin. And wats ur pick in this so called “test” or as Ellerbe put “risky” fight for Davis? R u with the rest of the entire boxing world with a. Easy Davis ko??? Or do u really believe Barrios has any chance in hell to win? This fight is about on par with the LSC mismatch.

Yuriorkis Gamboa Strips Second Featherweight Title from Orlando Salido
September 24, 2010

A special two-way gamble involving two unified featherweight title belts was held at Las Vegas Nevada's Palms Casino Resort on the eve of the fateful September 11 anniversary last Saturday.

The undisputed WBA World Featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (18-0-0 15KO) took the seasoned defending IBF Featherweight champion Orlando Salido (34-10-2 22KO 1NC) through 12 rounds of boxing, which was concluded with him padding yet another victory unto his untarnished record.

Taking a look at the participants before the bout; Gamboa, 28, boasted a spotless reputation in the ring—acclaimed for his 83.33 knock-out percentage and his consistent routing of international opponents—which he established mainly in the United States, as he now fights out of Florida despite his Cuban heritage.

Yeah. Gamboa used to be considered a puncher! Didn't he drop Crawford? Gamboa beat the younger version of Salido. Lomachenko lost to the older version! If you know boxing, you know the Euros get fast tracked because of their talent level. Same for Akhmedov and Madrimov, and keep an eye out for Daniyar Yeleussinov!

Yes, I do give Barrios a chance to win this fight! I believe Tank moved to 140 because he's LAZY! That's gonna catch up to him soon, and June 26th just might be the day!

So i ask again - wat exactly is ur prediction in this “risky” fight??? And r YOU calling Gamboa - who had ONE ko in 5 yrs prior to fighting Davis - power puncher???? Simple questions…easy to LOOK like a power puncher early in a career against cans.

When Gamboa fought Crawford, he still had mad respect for his power! Barrios is still in his "early career" that's why I said it's too early to put that "Feather-Fisted" label on him! I think Tank wins by UD, but I think he may wake up and realize that 140 is not for him, at least not yet!

mad respect for his power based on WHAT???? A padded ko record? What notable ko? Can u answer that? One ko in 5 yrs…they say the “power” is the LAST thing to go. Assuming u consider Gamboa a power puncher since u wont answer the question. Everyone else is predicting a Ko for Davis in this showcase mismatch. There is nothing Barrios does well to prevent Davis from walking him down…stands straight up and down and throws a lunging right hand…wide open for a counter left. Davis will easily ko him with a left - probably to the body. If Davis fails to Ko b-level Barrios- he is definitely overrated.

Like they said in BLEACHER REPORT, "he was acclaimed for his 83.33 KO percentage," before fighting Salido! Looking back now, he wasn't all that, but he was well respected back in the day! Like I also said, he beat the younger, better version, of Oralndo Salido. The older, fatter, weaker version, of the same man beat Lomachenko! So if Davis fails to KO Barrios @ 140, in his first fight @ 140, he's "definitely overrated?" So what did you think about Lomachenko losing to old-ass Salido? GTFOH!

[Dustin Tanner]

Nah, Prograis next!

Or Mikey Garcia

in Loma’s 2nd pro fight against an overweight Salido…..ur comparing that to Davis who has how many pro fights?????? Pretty lame Bro! U make some silly comparisons! Classic case of trying to prop up one fighter by bringing in another named fighter into the conversation. Bleacher report- if u don’t agree with the writer who seems to believe Gamboa was the 2nd coming of JCC Sr , then why even bring it up? One writers opinion- so freaking wat!!
