Comments Thread For: After Mayweather's Scorecard Tip, Davis Becomes Tank And Rolls Over Barrios

[Get em up]

F--k the haters! Tank is must-see TV! If he fought Prograis or Mikey, who you got?

I'd pick Tank over both guys myself. He definitely carried his power up and can hold his own at 140. I do think he is better suited for 130 or 135 though.

It worked.

Steve Farhood has turned into Harold Ledderman with odd scores lately.

A fight with Mikey would be great cause Spence couldn't stop Mikey and Mikey brings a lot of skills to the table. But the question is if Garcia is motivated like he once was. Still there are a lot of variables in this fight if it happens. Prograis who also has a solid chin and clever style would be great to see. 140 is such a deep division.

How do you know what was authorized by the commission in Atlanta? You have no idea what the rules are, you’re just guessing off of your emotions. I don’t see anything prohibiting what he did. It’s really up to the refs discretion. He didn’t step in the ring.

I have been in many states as a fighter corner person myself and you are going to have 4 to 5 individuals and it’s not normally a promoter of a dam fighter so shut the F up and learn the sport MF’er! He only allowed because of privilege and it’s fact MF’er plus it’s my opinion so mind your dam business, I’m in Detroit come holla at me.

floyd did the right thing from a trainer or promoter perspective to get his guy to win, he could have lost on points. But still think floyd need to pick if he wants to be a trainer and in the corner or not. he could be the assistant trainer if he wants to be in the corner. not just randomly walking around ring side and interrupting the trainers time. If the trainer cant do his job then the fighter should hire someone else or hire floyd.

also event security needs to hold the standards and not let floyd just run around whereever he wants as a celebrity. the other corner dont get a 4th guy to just shout from ringside like that.

The only problem with this method Floyd used isn’t legal or authorized by commissions or referees to allow someone not part of the corner to step up and automatic have discussions with the fighter. If I’m ringside a non Participant can I get up in a corner to give advise. This is privileged opportunity at its best and in other words B.S. that’s not how a corner is ran and boxing shouldn’t be changed based on popularity of Floyd, it’s not fair! Why are you praising poor sportsmanship and it could be due to the money he has placed on a ko himself. I get it, it’s your dude your guy but we shouldn’t be allowed to bend the dam rules.

I was thinking about this too. But it’s honestly no different than anything else in sports, where someone from the crowd yells something. Or your mom sitting ringside yelling at you. Or a mentor sitting court side at a NBA game yelling something at you.

It really would’ve been no different from your mom saying “you’re losing this fight.”

The wording is different in this case cuz Floyd said, “on the unofficial, you’re down.” As opposed to Floyd offering his own opinion saying, “I got you down in this fight.”

But Floyd as acting promoter does call into question ethics of the situation. He’s not an official coach/trainer. I think a promoter should be unbiased and neutral as far as the actual fight itself.

"But the alert from Mayweather was the tactical instruction Davis needed. Not just to win the fight, because as it turned out, the unofficial scorecard was a false alarm--the appointed judges had the fight scored comfortably for Davis even at that point, contrary to both Farhood’s and a large contingent of online fans’ reading of the bout." Boxing in a nutshell.

[indelible]

Since Floyd has gone on record to let everyone know that it’s just in house fights Tank will get, in other words don’t expect Tank to cross over into any other networks, there’s a high probability that Tank will be fighting Rollies next who has a fight coming up on the main card of Charlo and Castaņo

[Roberto Vasquez]

Tank should fight Lopez or Loma next
