I absolutely 100% wouldn't be surprised if Barrios wins this. People are seriously underestimating him, He's a tall 140lber who can box his a** off & has sneaky power in both of his hands + He fights to his height. I love Tank, but if we're being honest here he struggled on the outside against Leo last fight & Barrios has a way better outside game than Leo. Either way it goes this fight is ending in a stoppage. Also don't be surprised if Tank gets dropped for the 1st time ever in this fight.

Tank is a great little fighter it's a good fight and a good challenge. A good solid fight in your 1st fight in a new division.
My annoyances are he has talked so much smack about so many fighters, majority of them were receptive towards a fight but then he stepped around all of them and took a fight nobody asked for against a fighter not everybody has heard of. Also this WBA Bullsheet. He ain't fighting for a world title. It's a good fight let's not pretend its any more than that. -
I just don’t see it in regards to Barrios. I didn’t see an impressive outside game when he fought Akhmedov- a fight he lost IMO.
I don’t think Barrios is a bad fighter by any means but simply ain’t on Tank’s level. I have Tank winning via KO in a relatively one sided fight.Comment

Agreed, however I believe he really wanted to fight Ryan but Ryan just talks out of his a**, Devin & Teo had fights lined up already so there's that. Barrios might've been the next best thing. Now in regards to the the WBA REGULAR belt, yea i'm in full agreeance with you, i dont think anyone should count that as an actual world championship, but we know how their gonna spin it already....Comment

I think "box his ass off" is an overstatement. Barrios looks good when his opponent gives him time to box on the outside but when his man doesn't comply and crowds him he doesn't look effective. Looking at his last fight with southpaw Akhmedov, he looked pretty good the 1st 4 rounds, but when Akhmedov upped the pace, he pretty much dominated the next 8 rounds. I think he can get some early rounds but I expect Gervonta to brutalize him like the last southpaw he faced.Comment

Thing is the Akhmedov fight was 2 years ago & his last fight was against Ryan Karl (which was on the Tank vs Leo card) and he 100% redeemed himself, but let's back to the Akhmedov fight. Yea it was a tough fight ngl but he defintely won that fight, i mean he had 2 knockdowns & snagged the earlier rounds, Akhmedov style was bad for him but Tank doesn't fight like that if we're being completely honest. He's more of a aggressive counter puncher, which Barrios is as well. To me it'll come down to the style Tank goes into this fight with, If he comes out like a pressure fighter than he'll probably KO Barrios somewhere in the middle rounds but if Tank fights with the same style he always fights then I don't know...Comment

They go on about little Manny but holy smokes Tank is small in this fight.
