Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Doubts Confidence Of Tank's Team; Ellerbe Blasts Ryan Garcia's Promoter

Glad Ellerbe mentioned Oscar making Floyd come up to 154! He should've also mentioned Oscar made B-Hop come down to 157!

I forgot about that one. Still not as bad as what Tank is doing though.

What's all the fuss about 136lbs and rehydration clause? Garcia is 5'10", Tank is 5'5". Garcia last two fights he weighed 138 and 139, prior to that he fought at 135. Tank last two fights he weighed 133 and 134. With the height difference, should Tank allow Garcia to rehydrate to 150ish while he's probably gonna be at 140ish?

I've had a lot of great things to say about both fighters but these clauses and stipulations are way out of hand. It also sets up the opponents in arrangements like this to have a built-in excuse if they lose. Boxing needs to stop with catchweights once and for all.

He did have a 10 pound rehydration clause for Jacobs.

Was that him or just the IBF rules though? I don’t remember.

Oscar did get under dudes skin though. Good for him

...all of these cats defending Oscar, who forced Floyd up to 154 with pillow gloves, yet was willing to drain himself down to 147 to fight Manny.

Ok

Ok

Forcing a guy up is a lot different than forcing a guy down.

You missed the point.

Floyd had never fought that high.

Cryan has fought that low.

So did that coward Ellerbe say this to Oscar's face ? Hell no ! He waited for the interview when he knew Oscar couldn't get to him.Weak as F

[Phase III]

Ellerbe should stay in his lane before Oscar gives him a good spanking. Also, Hopkins needs to retire into the sunset because he’s always instigating things at press conferences (Zab) and now Tank v Garcia. Oscar and Hopkins are a real odd GBP duo. Hopkins does all possible to stay relevant when in fact nobody cares about him, one of the dirtiest fighter in boxing.
