Just been watching some film and I’ve noticed a bit of a pattern.
2017- Tank knocks out Jose Pedraza. Pedraza goes up to Lightweight, goes on to win a world title and produces a career best win over Beltran.
2021- Tank knocks out Mario Barrios, who moved up to Welterweight and goes to on to defeat Yordenis Ugas for an interim World title, which was the best win of his career.
2021- Tank beats Isaac Cruz by a close decision, Cruz moves up to 140 and defeats Romero for a world title.
2022- Tank knocks out Rolly Romero, who moved up to 140 and controversially defeats Barroso to win a world title. Now Rolly is complete trash, I don’t rate that win at all but it still warrants mentioning purely because Rolly went on to achieve more after losing to Tank.
2023- Tank knocks out Ryan Garcia who moves up to 140 (or 143) and beats Devin Haney the reigning WBC champ at 140.
He fights Frank Martin tomorrow, who I could definitely see winning a world title even after losing to Tank.
Whilst, Tank’s resume is far from perfect, he’s definitely fought several fighters on the way up, rather than just beating faded names on the way down.
