Tank Played himself by cherrypicking instead of chasing smoke, told you cherrypicking doesn't pay, everyone surprised hasn't been paying attention

[Raggamuffin]

This is what I said before the fight in response to this











And after rewatching the fight Tank lost a close fight on my card 7-5 maybe 8-4 because Cruz was far more effective than Davis,its amazing how many upsets cherrypicks gone wrong there have been,& heres why Tank lost Cruz imo.

Cruz was short & stout like a pitbull,he was able to get inside with high guard & Davis is inexperienced because hes been fighting cherries,& hes not used to fighting shorter guys who can take a punch.

He cherrypicked Cruz because hes short with T rex rex arms & not a lot of power,but Cruz hurt Tank & staggered him.

I told y'all when fighters think they're going to coast into the sunset off career cherrypicking is playing themselves

Forgot to add I picked Cruz by close dec

After all this garbage, he then writes:

Yeah. Cruz is a world ranked LW. He fought like one.

Then there's a lot of overreacting going on.

Let's see what both guys do after this.


BTW, is Cruz a bum, cherry or a quality guy who finally got a chance ?

Hes a cherry who moved up in weight, last min replacement who proved Davis isnt as good as his fans think he is. Yesterdays fight answered why DVis refuses to fighg Loma, Teo, Haney, even Garcia and the top 5 at 135/140.

Yes I picked him by close decision when fanbois like you were saying how Tank would destroy everyone, the quote I posted was from before the fight,& when I picked him I made clear it wasn't because Cruz was elite but because Tanks getting fatter/lazier & looked like crap v lesser opponents

I've been enjoying cherrypick fights for the past few years.
They may not have the result I wanted, but seeing A-side get hit excites me.
Forget Best vs Best fights. They happen once in a blue moon, so why bother?

haney and tank both picked on short guys past their prime who moved up in weight and barely "beat" them. I dont even want to watch black fighters any more. they cherry pick are weight bullies over hyped then they run away from the fighter they trash talk and are thugs. they are nothing like the blacks from joe louis to floyd paterson up to holyfield. those guys fought every best fighter they were good sportsmen. leonard hearns all of them fought every good fighter.

I’m not a Tank fan. I rock with Bud Crawford.

Well keep in mind before the fight this is the thread I created saying that after the fight I expected everyone to do what they always do when cherrypicks go wrong:ie claiming that it wasn't a cherrypick gone wrong & in fact just was because Tank fought an elite opponent (iow lying to themselves)

Good call

Boxing fans, in general, are terrible.
If it isn't a guy they follow or from their side of the Earth, the standards are always unattainable. And God forbid that other guy reaches those heights, it's because of PEDs, bums, cherries, ducking real comp, paid off the judges......,Those standards are never aimed at their guy.

Every fighter, and I mean every fighter, had fights where an L was a rd away. It's called a bad night at the office.

Every fighter who ever fought had nights like this. Joe Louis and Wlad K would know better than most.

Comparing louis and wlad, who accomplished more in their careers than Davis could even imagine is hilarious. Fake belts dont count
