    This will make some people unhappy. People who ask what's so special about Davis.

      High praise for Tank. Now if only he would fight the top guys in his division.

      I like the part at the end of the article where Porter mentions other ways to deal with a counterpuncher, besides just using combinations.

        I feel like feinting or forcing your opponent to lead is an easier way to approach a counter puncher than just throwing loads of punches and giving more openings. Following up yeah I get.

          I expect Porter to be wrecked tonight. There are levels. I don't think Porter's dirty tactics will work. Davis and Bud are similar in the sense that they are too sharp to return fouls right away. They won't be asking the ref for help. Maybe that's what Porter saw sparring Gervonta Davis. It's a vet move.

            No chance in hell he gets wrecked. Bud will probably win on points but he's gonna earn it.

              Same side of the street, not like Porter would bad mouth him.

                Or maybe it's the truth. Davis spars super middleweights too. In a real fight, he'd wreck Porter.

                  We all know he only likes those easy fights vs nobodies or women.
