    Let’s be honest here lads tank was given a lamb

    Barrios was not the champion at 140 even the wba recognizes JT as the undisputed champ so this was for a trinket against a guy Tank should’ve beaten 4-5 rounds quicker. I saw several limitations by Tank especially when Barrios used his jab. Lomo probably loses to tank because he’s really a 130lber that moved up but Josh and Teo bodybag the toy tank.

    Lol don't be a fool, what did Floyd say ... "tank will fight who he wants when he wants" ..

    Meaning, keep building yourself up cherry picking, and who cares about the rest.

      I agree the lad is scared to fight the actual undisputed champion at 140 and the unified and best 135 lbs guy. He is the master at picking up secondary belts he’s become the lighter weight version of Manuel Charr happy to hold a worthless strap.

        when a fighter has 5 inch height advantage and 4 inch reach advantage he SHOULD give u trouble with a jab...if he doesnt and cant then that figher isnt worth a lick....stop acting like its some huge flaw of tanks

        we all know taylor is the man at 140.....was taylor supposed to do a one month turnaround and fight tank! lol....some of you guys exhibit such clownish and childish behavior and thought patterns...its sad...not one tank fan claimed that barrios was the man at 140! but hes a solid fighter and a solid opponent....some of u clowns really need to grow up and be men...instead of petulant children

        in todays installment of "what did floyd or tank do today to piss you off" the answer is ...."existing and breathing"...

          Great post and well said. Tank fought a naturally bigger guy and made a good showing of himself and Barrios showed he has grit and tons of heart and could possibly make big waves against the top dogs at 140.

            Barrios acquited himself pretty well but I don't think he's ever gonna be a big waves kinda dude. Reckon he's the kinda guy that's gonna give everyone some decent work and a tough night but always fall short at the top level. Good win for Tank against a significantly bigger guy though, kid showed exceptional timing and power, although I'd hope he doesn't come to rely on it too much... he can't afford to give away the rounds against top tier guys cos one day the KO might not come.

              I agree I dont think he needs to wait for the knockout. I believe he is capable of being a top level boxer and the knockouts will come if they are meant to. I could also see Barrios falling short in big fights as well. Kinda having the Badou Jack affect and losing on the cards in close fights. I give him credit though he didnt go easy.
