Interesting he came forward vs the puncher but against Loma he was running around the ring.

    Very competitive but Loma won 11 rounds lol. How you score a fight doesn't mean anything since your bias bleed through every fight.


    LMAO Pedraza landed more on Tank??? He literally won 1 round before being brutally KO'd

    Whereas Loma

      Tank has really surprised me, I thought Teo, Cryan, Devin were going to rule the 135-140, specifically Devin, I thought Tank was gifted but didn't think he would reach his potential due to his work ethic at the time, also with his outside boxing trouble issues, MoneyMay has really steered his mind the right way into whats best for Tank, Tank was trying to fight Floyd lol thats how much Floyd was bugging him, his fights with Leo and Barrios you could say he bailed out with his power but those guys were complacent, but vs Cruz even though it was an even fight he fought back against a real hungry threat like I knew Cruz would test him, I didn't give Tank much chance to rise against these other guys

      ​​​​​​
      Now Teo has been beat up and shamed lol, Cryan has declined from the rise he had with all his crying and supposed depression but he's really been partying a bit and doesn't seem to want to really push into a boxing career, Devin has become a super diva twitter fingers with no resume and little Tank who I thought would be done by now, has really straightened his career/life up and is now a huge boxing success, all these young fighters got big success a bit to early for now days, hopefully they all straightened out and we get some entertaining boxing these following years
      It seems he's the last one standing, with Loma at #2. The Haney part, I'd like to add, average.

        Pedraza was landing pittypats on Davis, while Davis knew he could take him out whenever he wanted. When Pedraza got brave, he was slept. Gervonta's leftovers are fighting all over the place and having some success these days. Pedraza will fight soon. Moving forward, Cruz Gonzalez will surprise many.

          People saying Gervonta didn't look that good against Cruz. I'm not so sure about that. It's just that the styles didn't mesh. Cruz is no joke and I told this board it'd be a difficult fight before it even happened. Reminded me of Floyd vs Chavez. Jesus Chavez was unrelenting and landed a lot on Floyd, until his corner stopped the fight. I think it was the 9th round.. Floyd's uppercuts were something else that night.

          Every good fighter has a couple of hard fights like those. Quite normal.

            Or Gamboa,or against Leo or against Barrios. He was being outboxed, countered and losing numerous rds to both Cruz and Barrios before his power bailed him out. He stunk out the joint against a one legged fighter in Gamboa and had no answers for a crude,limited brawler in "pitbull". Like a poster mentioned above, once he steps up in comp and possibly weight,it's unlikely that power bails him out.

              Can't give Tank credit for being outboxed by both Leo and Barrios. Tank has power and is tough. As far as his skills, again he was getting outboxed by Leo and Barrios and he was lucky to get the decision against Cruz who wasn't even top 10 at 135.

                Yes, wow damage on Lomas face maybe show the Marriaga fight as well even though Loma beat the crap out of him as well. One brueises easier. didnt know thats how you score a fight.

                Total punches
                Loma 240/738 32% vs Pedraza 111/931 11.9%

                Jabs
                Loma 82/393 20.9% vs Pedraza 31/506 6.1%

                Power Punches
                Loma 158/245 45.8% vs Pedraza 80/425 18.8%

                This is 12 rounds now check Tanks numbers in less than 12 rounds.

                Also Loma fights with a pressure style yet gets hit the least.

                  It's easy to look great against B level opposition... Dude hadn't fought in years and dominated the guy which tells me the kid is not that good. Never mind he got ktfo by a guy that fights at 135 lol. Doesn't matter who beats him, he is still B level. Thurman was an elite talent and Davis is an A level guy but neither are elite at this point

                    Tanks the exact level of credit he deserves: he’s fought some solid opponents and gets the W, usually in an exciting fight.

                    His contemporaries are just running circles around him in their level of competition/big fights. He’s being babied the same way Canelo was. Difference is Canelo was fighting Golovkin by the time he was 27.

                      After seeing Thurman against Barrios, Tank definitely does get my respect. He's top level, no doubt. I think Keith showed more boxing prowess, in a sense, but lacked those qualities that Tank has, such as power and speed. Maybe when Pitbull fights some other renowned boxer and puts on a beating, more people will see Tank differently.
