I agree with this post. Though boxnation is now backed by bt sport so there will be a larger tv audience. Liam walsh is a good fighter with no weaknesses. He's a switch hitter too but I was really impressed with Davis when he won the title and I think he'll have too much.

Wait... Why is the CHAMPION traveling?

Surprised he is travelling. Good for him though as it's good experience.

Also, this is a Warren fighter, often his shows sell a lot less tickets than Hearn and far less TV viewers too.

If they're thinking they're coming to the UK and expecting a big event like they might see happening in the UK these days, then i can say it won't be the case at all.

Also, it's a good first defence. Walsh is no bum, he's pretty talented but i think Davis will have too much for him.

Better money usually is the case, plus Davis is not the sort of fighter that would leave things up to the judges

I just realized this is a mandatory. Frank must've paid a pretty penny because Davis would've gotten 75% in a purse bid.

Good first defense for Tank. Love the traveling part with so many US fighters being p#ssies with traveling when they have lil to no fan base in their own country, state or even city ffs. And plus anything to get this kid outta f#cking Baltimore where some dipsh^t could end this guys career &/or life cuz he missed shooting the dipsh^t he was trying to shoot or cuz Tank looked at his girl or some other dumba$$ reason.

I would also say there is a good amount of UK talent around 130, if Tank is not long for 130 there are a number of lightweight guys he might have to travel and face. He ups his name a bit across the pond those fights are even more lucrative. Somebody could also come up from featherweight.

It is a good spot to both make a little bit extra now, and invest in some possible future showdowns if they go down in the UK.

[Baltimore]

Gervonta showing he's not scared to go into someone else's backyard and prove himself. Shame more fighters don't seem to have that mentality.

Show Walsh and the U.K. fans what Baltimore is all about Tank
