I agree with Iron Dan and others who question if Tank will fight Loma,as there is still more risk than he is comfortable with... And Arum is shiat for boxing, will find a way to entice a lesser fight while Loma ages more.
If this fight manages to occur I think even some normally savy posters here have been seduced by the Martin fight. Tank has been matched extremely well... The biggest mistake he made was Cruz and the judges protected him when he should have lost that fight... No it was not a robbery, but Tank was lucky. Tank has feasted on the likes of smaller punchers, like Santa Cruz who again... come foward, smaller, was not going to be a threat and was always going to be hittable.
Loma, even at an advanced age could embarass Tank and make him look ordinary. First of all, unlike the other fighters Tank fought, Loma makes adjustments. Tank cannot just knock him out later in the fight. Loma will figure Tank out and even keep him on his back foot at times. Tank could catch him, but Loma will not just be steam rolled, he can move, adjust and if Tank lets up just for a minute Loma will counter him.
I actually think, if Loma does not age in a day, this could be an easy fight for Loma. Tank gives away too many rounds, lets say around the fourth round he has given away most rounds... in the next four rounds he comes on and does not KO Loma, Loma wins a few rounds, Tank wins a few rounds... Now Tank has pressure and cannot make a mistake and virtually has to KO Loma. That to me is how this fight will go, IF Tank bites... which I doubt. Tank's biggest problem is that Loma will exploit mistakes if he has to force a KO... Unlike Martin, who was very hittable, and lost the ability to counter under pressure.
