Tank is in a good fight this weekend and many are dismissing it

[waymeather]

I'm saying it's a good fight. I thought it was a fair assessment.

That's fair. I'm going to call it an okay fight. Definitely not a bad fight.

I am sick of Tank and his fake belts.

He won the IBF super featherweight belt legitimately and then lost it on the scales like a clown.

Then he was allowed to fight for the WBA (Super) Super Featherweight Championship even though there was already a champion. They downgraded the sitting champion to (Regular) champion just so Tank could fight for a belt.

Then he won a (Regular) belt at lightweight.

Now he's going for another fake ass (Regular) belt at 140.

This fight is okay in that Tank is moving up in weight and Barrios is a decent fighter. But let's not make it more than what it is.

From a fan perspective, I don't really like my favorite boxers being on PPV prior to putting the hard work in, fully. PPV doesn't expose them to a larger casual fan audience. I'd have liked to have seen Gervonta develop his fanbase more on free TV before going PPV. Not saying he's not good enough, but it's a little too early for all his fights to be on PPV. I say the same for Spence.

Floyd agrees with you tho: Nobody has to buy it.

It shouldn't be PPV but I think they know how well Tank draws. Not sure if I'm buying it yet.

Could say the exact same thing about Canelo-Fielding…

Just think it’s a case of levels. I don’t see this a good or interesting fight. I’ll probably just check the result in the morning and watch the KO.

I'm aware of your opinion by now.

But it's interesting enough matchmaking. If you don't see a clear difference in size with your own eyes then idk what to tell you. Don't like it, don't watch it I guess.

If your eyes are better than a scale, more power to you.

So Barrios has moved up in weight. People fill out. He hasn't campaigned at lightweight in years, a division Davis has only fought once in.
