    So Tank was touched up multiple times by a "dumb ass fighter"...

    Didn't see "fireworks". Rocha/Cobbs was "fireworks". This...

    Either Rolly is better than Tank said, or Tank is declining.

    Fight looked a lot like Canelo / Golovkin 1, except that Canelo couldn't land a perfect counter like Tank did.

    Now, we're not sure that Tank beats Haney.

    Before the fight, Tank said he was going to be defensive the first few rounds, assess what was in front of him, and then turn it on and KO Romero once he was ready.

    Tank started the fight defensively, found his timing in the third round, and soon brutally KO'd Romero.

    A fighter that gets in the ring and executes exactly what he said he was planning to do beforehand is "declining"? Okay.

      What are you talking about ? Tank was never in trouble, Romero has a higher energy rate and does not move as smooth as Davis, as the rounds start to pass, Romero got that lactic acid in his muscles and it diminished his power. Tank was just waiting for Romero to drown himself in the later rounds and strike.

      --- edit

      Same story as Usyk - Joshua. Joshua uses way more energy in his way of moving, was afraid to get tired and didnt let him hands go.

        Haney is highly skilled but no doubt in my mind that Tank brutally stops him too. Tank would laugh at those feather fisted punches. Oddly enough the fighter I see giving Tank major problems is Teo if he stays at 135z

            Tank is basically Wilder of lightweight division. When he faces somebody who is actually good, he will lose badly.

                I think Rolly is better than a lot of guys think.

                Tank is a little guy he didn't want a shoot out while the Rolly is at his strongest, he was also gunning for that KO shot similar to Lara in the previous fight.

                Im not surprised how it went at all and don't downgrade Tank at all, he shows vulnerabilities, so does Crawford it doesn't mean they are going to lose and it doesn't mean they don't do the same to the very best out there, it just adds into more interesting fights like the one today.

                  Tank threw 15 punches per round. What a **** fight. Makes even Klitschko seem like a volume puncher.

                    Stank did exactly what he said he would do but just did it afraid to be tagged
                    I’ll put it out straight​​​, , Stank was impressive but bring along a good boxer and I think Stank spends the night trying to clutch
