Comments Thread For: Ready or Not: Romero Win Lifts Tank Davis into New Stratosphere

Because Tank turned down Loma. Outright duck. May said he wasn't ready. Lots of guys duck, but they don't advertise. Rolly can't box and green as grass, low hanging fruit.

Floyd was a bitch in that instance. Davis refused to move to Vegas and Floyd's feelings were hurt. It's a myth Gervonta ducked Loma. Floyd was disrespectful.

Floyd doesn't run. His movement was a thing of beauty to watch.

Haney doesn't run. His movement was a thing of beauty to watch.

Davis can't seem to do wrong. Last weekend he beat a guy everyone expected him to beat with more trouble doing it than everyone expected and his stock still has risen.

He's a draw so for some reason gets a pass from avoiding the big fights in the division. I just hope these fights happen soon because he's probably in his prime now.

Everyone expected? Or you mean those who know nothing about styles in boxing expected that fight to be easy with no adjustment period for Tank?

I find it hard to believe that I was the only fan in the entire planet that had made the observation that Romero’s style is dangerous for 3-5 rounds until a good boxer adjusts to it and either KO’s him or outboxes him (like Mariņez and Tank did).

Very hard to believe that I was the only fan in the world who predicated the exact same scenario that occurred? That Tank will be aware in the first few rounds against Romero’s wild swings, adjust, and knock him out in the later rounds (I predicted late rounds, Tank did it sooner).

I do not believe that every single boxing fan out there is that terrible at fight predictions. I am not some high IQ boxing guru either. I get predictions wrong too. But I have not seen a fight, in recent memory, that was more predictable than what occurred between Tank and Rolly. I know for a fact that I wasn’t the only one who called it. There are much wiser boxing fans than me. I know that not “everyone” overlooked the styles of these two and overlooked that Tank would need to adjust after the first several rounds.

If you really think Tank had “more trouble than expected” that is clearly on you. He is not Batman. Tank is a flawed fighter who would have a lot of trouble with some of the top 10 Lightweights, including Cruz and Rolly.

I am not entirely sure who you think Tank is but you just don’t go in there with big punchers and just blast them out in 1 round like it’s a random World Star Hip Hop street fight.
