I’m predicting a Barrios upset

[Bandman]

Barrios is straight up and down. no special effects. Tank decapitates him.

I may be in the minority but I actually want more belts. The more the merrier. Like in addition to the regular/super champion I'd be down for a semi-regular champion and a mediocre champion. I'd also like the WTF organization added to the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO.

I used to give Green out to anyone who gave me my morning chuckle, but sadly you'll have to settle for a 'like' instead. May the universe smile upon your day, Mike.

I put some money on a late stoppage by the Aztec Prince. Can’t wait for this one!

Not saying davis loses, but he hasnt really fought against special effects opponents yet. The only relatively tricky one was pedraza but he somehow fought the worst possible fight vs davis.

Barrios doesnt seem to be a future HOF. But he is quick to the counter, especially with the body punches, has solid punch placement and maintains his power into the late rounds.

The threat of counters with his power should keep davis honest from just rushing in. Similar to loma I assume davis cant allow himself to do as many mistakes at a higher weight class and cant just do the high guard walk down style that he did in the last round vs Leo.

Akhmedov fights way more aggressive and has a way higher output than davis which overwhelmed barrios. It's probably was also a great learning fight because he didnt know how to clinch and slow down the pace in that fight.

His dimensions and skillset could theoretically make it a difficult fight for Davis if barrios has the right gameplan.

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.

Barrios isn't a world champion. Taylor is the undisputed at 140

Yeah. Do all sanctioning bodies have two belts like this?

[Amir Imam]

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

Mungia clearly lost to Dennis Hogan so anyone who faces Mungia is cherry-picking.

the WBC franchised 2 champions for sanctioning fees lol. But mostly the bs in boxing is done by the WBC and the WBA, which are the 2 oldest santioning bodies. The WBA is the oldest. That's why it's the most disappointing from them. The WBC didn't come around until like '63 with Liston.. Holmes made the IBF credible and the WBO had been around since 88 and no one paid attention to it until DLH beat Sturrm and they used it to promote his fight with Hopkins in 2004. It's a **** show.. I know they all got interim champs, but the WBA got a gold, interim, regular, and super champ.

Wow dude you know your stuff!

Gold, Interim, regular and super? Seriously wtf. What do they all even mean? Lol

I hope tank doesn't get too much abuse after tonight, he can still have a great career at 130 and 135 if he can be disciplined enough to make the weight.
