Tank could potentially end it at any moment.... But if I had to put money down I'd bank on him never quite landing clean and flush. Reckon we'd see a more cautious Lomachenko gradually upping the pace and pressure as the fight wore on, probably to a widish UD. I think Tanks propensity for biding his time and waiting for the opening might backfire here.
This would be great fight. Tank has very real power. It’s that fast snapping power that doesn’t need to be telegraphed. Similar in someways to Adonis Stevenson.
Tank showed a lot in the Barrios fight. Adjusments, speed, defense and setting up punches. Plus that power is real with either hand to the head or to the body. Good fight if it ever gets done and I would have it 50/50.
neither fighter is perfect. Loma is a better boxing. If it occurs at 135, Loma wins, if it occurs at 140, Tank stops him. one thing I hate about Loma, and I've been saying it since before he fought Linares, I don't like it when he does those pitty pat jabs to score and set up something. Nakatani caught him a few times last night by timing it. This is one thing trainers always scream at their youth about is consistently throwing those pitty pat jabs because it develops a pattern that could lead to someone throwing something over the top against u. He didn't do it agains Lopez because he was surviving for his life the first 6 rounds by not throwing punches as he was aware of Lopez' right hand. But that's just my opinion. Loma is still troubled by body work though. All this bs about one guy just destroying the other in a one sided fight is nonsens.

I think Tank is a lot better than people think he is. The only reason Tank looks bad is because he only likes to "catch" people with his power. So in the midst of doing that, he looks like he's being outboxed. But he really isnt, he's just seeing what's in your attack.
