I think Tank will knock this version of Loma out.

the age thing is a built in excuse, loma has looked great

Loma has definitely regressed in regards to athleticism and reflexes and he’s never been that difficult to hit.

I’d expect Loma to outwork Tank early and build up a decent lead but in the second half of the fight, Tank will find an opening a take him out.

How do you see this fight going?

I tend to agree. Tank has effectively aged the “Matrix” out. Loma is at least a split second slower now with even less punching power than before at 135.

Moreover, at this particular juncture of his career; I just cannot see or think of any conceivable advantage where I could give Loma the edge over Tank.

Loma likes to fight off the front foot. That could prove to be very costly for an aging fighter with declining reflexes against such a dangerous counter puncher as Davis.

[champion4ever]

It's disgraceful that Tank and his team are only interested in Loma now that he's 37. I'd much rather see Tank face Shakur first.

I know. What a bitch move? He waited for Loma to got old and vulnerable in order to call him out and challenge him.

[champion4ever]

I think Tank stops Stevenson as well.

Neither Shakur nor Lomachenko have the power to keep Tank off and that will eventually be their undoing.

Yes, It’s very possible but he has to at least find Shakur Stevenson in order to catch him and knock him out. It would be difficult and won’t be easy but Tank could still do it.

[champion4ever]

That may be so but I need to see it. Not going after you specifically, but I don't need to hear it I need to see it happen.

Boxing fans witnessed a very hotly contested and close fight between Loma and Devin Haney more than a year ago. When Devin was flat-footed and couldn’t punch.

Now if he struggled against Haney what makes one so confident that he wouldn’t struggle even more against a much faster and stronger puncher in Gervonta Davis?

[champion4ever]

Davis is way more than a puncher lol, it amazes the level of judgement in here, I feel like about 5% know anything about boxing, a few days ago Matias was the killer going to beat everyone , and now Davis is only a puncher wtf are you boys not seeing.

The people who favor Loma to win are Loma’s fans. So naturally they are going to be subjective, partial and biased in their assessment of him because they want him to win.

However, to the reasonable boxing fan; We know better. As a fan of neither. I have to give Tank the edge.

Not only is he the younger, faster and stronger of the two but he is also the harder puncher as well.

Yea right when Lomenchenko beats the brakes off him you will be saying the opposite.

Somebody buy this guy a pair of flip flops

You really need to get over the fact Mayweather schooled Pacquiao, don’t you?

Yeah I agree mate, Loma would is definitely slower in terms of foot speed IMO. That would have been his big advantage over Tank had they fought a 4-5 years ago.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I don't think there was a version of Loma that beats this version of Tank.

You could be right tbh. Even Peak Loma got caught in fights. With Tank it only takes one.

[BoxingParadigm]

I don’t know what happens. It is no given Tank wins imo.

IMO Bob and Loma ducking Shakur to instead fight that bum Kambosos suggests Bob thinks Loma only has one more big time fight left.

I do see plenty of excuses being lined up in case Tank does ko Loma. He’s old, he’s shot. Etc.

You bring up a good point that is worth remembering, and that's how Shakur is being boxed out here (potentially). I understand he only has like 1 fight left with TR, but still he should be a priority.

When it comes to Loma, these are not excuses, Loma (even years ago) was not the fighter at 135lbs he used to be at 130lbs & 126lbs. What were Tank's excuses for not fighting Lomachenko back at 130lbs?

My point with Tank vs Stevenson is that they're the #1 & #2 fighters at 135lbs and that's who I want to see fight. I think they both beat Loma at this point and I don't think any excuses are needed for that, it's the way of the sport, however, the ducking of the Tank vs Lomachenko fight back at 135lbs shouldn't be the way of the sport and bringing the match up today just brings memories of that.
