I’m predicting a Barrios upset

[Dakuwaqa]

Too big, too cool, too native.

Not only do we have a contender for boxing’s hippest cat but I also think he’s going to present Tank with some serious problems.

Tank is unbelievably short. He’s going to learn weigh classes matter.

Nah. Barrios is a cherry pick. He cleary lost to that Uzbek dude and only won by robbery. Tank will beat him

I mean no disrespect but, how can you cherry-pick a world champion? I just watched the Barrios vs Akhmedov fight the other day, and by no means was that fight a robbery. A robbery is like a guy winning 8 or 9 rounds and the decision going to other guy. Barrios dropped Akhmedov twice and won most of the early rounds. That's 2 10-8 rounds, and 4 or 5 of the mid/early rounds. So, there's no way that fight was robbery. Now, were the scorecards wide, f3ck yeah, but wide scorecards don't equate to a robbery.

But, I do agree, I have Tank winning this won, but he's going to struggle big time, pun intended.

Lol okay.

Barrios sucks.

[Dakuwaqa]

Lol okay.

Barrios sucks.

Everyone sucks to you. I caught a reflection in your eyes and I saw nothing but bums.

I fear you can’t help it.

Barrios is going to punish Davis. For a fully grown man his height is borderline concerning.

How can you cherry pick a world champion?

Pretty easy if you've been watching boxing long enough which is a surprise that people still don't know what a cherry pick is.

Back the day maybe it was impossible but with 8 major titles across all the divisions it's pretty damn easy.

Like when Mikey Garcia cherry picked an actual world title from a kickboxing turned boxer in Sergey Lipinets at 140lbs because he was too afraid to unify with Jorge Linares.

Cherry pick. A hand picked opponent used to make a fighter look better than he actually is. Easily accomplished by fighting a big name who is over the hill for fighting a place holder world champion.

All thse guys say they want to fight the best but by not doing so and still claiming you are, it only reinforces that notion.

.Another example.

Canelo cherry picking Kovalev.

Sure, it was a solid win but a clear cherry pick. Kovalev had shown enormous decline from his krusher days and was not even in the running for the best in the division. If you're not fighting your way to fight the best then I don't don't you deserve consideration for being the best.

If you're a 130lb guy you should want to fight the consensus #1 guy, not possibly the 8th best fighter in another division and the only reason they do it is to be called "multiple world champ".

If it was like the old days and there was only 1 champion per division these guys would have nothing to pretend about. They would have to walk and not talk.

[Keysandboxing]

Lol okay.

Barrios sucks.

Really dude. I know you have significant boxing knowledge, but "Barrios sucks" is about the dumbest response you could have. Barrios: doesn't stick to his jab in mid/late rounds, drops his hands when fighting in the inside, and struggles badly against volume punchers, but he also has a lot of good attributes as well. Barrios has: very good footwork, solid power in both hands, his power carries late, fast reflexes, when he uses it he has a very fast jab, and he has a good gage of distance. All good attribute to have especially when fighting a much smaller, more explosive, heavy handed fighter.

[ShaneMosleySr]

He should have lost to someone with 7 professional fights.

He sucks.

[ShaneMosleySr]

He should have lost 8 rounds to someone who isn’t even in the same universe as Davis boxing wise.

Good thing he has reflexes and a sense of distance. It’s not going to matter.

i can't lie I want Tank to either lose or struggle against Barrios but only because i'm tired of seeing such a great talent cherry pick . Also can't stand Ellerbe especially his comments on Josh Taylor etc. just bad for the sport . Above all is i'm a fan of boxing not just one fighter . Hopefully if he does win like I think he will and easily Tank?Ellerbe can grow a pair and fight the actual champions in their divisions. No more Regular titles
