Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Fails to Make Weight Twice for Walsh Fight

[Hmabshir]

All you little ****s talking about 2 ounces, can't wait till Tank puts Walsh into a casket tomorrow.

[GhostofDempsey]

umm rjj jr was past his prime when he fought Calzaghe. A prime Roy was untouchable.

And Calzaghe was in his prime?

Back on topic, Gervonta will not be long for 130 if he is already struggling to make weight in that division. Meanwhile he is allowing Floyd to navigate his career and his own promoter doesn't even know who he fought and can't guarantee his fighter will make weight. Off to a great start.

They wanted him stripped....called him a weight bully....said he lacked discipline and character.

Man

You'd think he slapped their dirty horse-faced queen.

Literally ONE poster said that. "They" doe.


He gets 2 tries. He failed after 2 tries. You get stripped. How the **** are you defending him? Then you have the gaul to call out anybody by accusing them of being racists and crybabies? ****ing baboon of a poster.

Why am I not surprised the usual people are in here defending this debacle....

Glad the fight isn't canceled. Looking forward to tomorrow.

I agree they should've come sooner. It's interesting that Floyd just experienced some adversity with Davis that he never saw in his career. Even an old dog can learn new things.

I suppose Floyd hasn't had to do that sort of travelling since he was an amateur or even then?

I am imagining Davis would have had one day that was a bit of write off even the second day he probably wasn't feeling himself. Surprising from Floyd who is the consummate pro - bit amateurish really.

Still it adds a little bit of narrative to the fight.

Mike McCallum said he felt like he was fighting underwater when he fought in Italy.

You actually don't get "two tries"...you get two hours to drop the weight. As long as you accomplish that within the period, you're fine. He just came back to the scale with an hour to go, thinking he had done what was needed. The third try was within the time period.

He complied with IBF rules.

This just makes the fight more interesting. Adds a little late buzz

[Teetotaler]

How will he do in the second weigh in tomorrow

[The Hammer]

Gervonta Davis is very similar to Adrien Broner.

[Boxing Truth]

Great points

Good. The title should be stripped anyway because a real champion should be the best, be willing to fight the best, but Davis' team has openly stated they still view him as a prospect, and want to build his money, and get him more experience, before he fights the best, such as Lomachenko.

That's fine, he just shouldn't have a belt hostage then. He should fight other prospects and veterans and regional level guys like Walsh until he's gotten that experience he needs to actually fight for the CHAMPIONSHIP, and fight the other champions.

So this could actually be a blessing in disguise for the division. I think it also shows that Davis may not be as good as people thought against Pedraza, or as powerful, but rather a weight bully who fought a smaller guy who was too dumb to realize he was the smaller guy and fought a dumb fight. We'll see if his power carries when he fights guys his size at 135. He may even be as big as the 140 guys, but we don't know that yet.

You pretty much nailed it here, but I would like to add this is clearly Floyd trying to build a weight bully at 130 and he got caught.

Ironic how Floyd got special treatment when he weighed in 2lbs over his contracted weight vs Marquez and still allowed to fight....Floyd is still a disgrace.

[Larry the boss]

yep following in his heros footsteps , has a weight limit and doesnt even make it. Remember the Marquez fight?

Manny missed the official weight 2 times..remember that?
