Its not a good look I think everyone can agree on that, but the reality is he was the 4th best title holder in the division & he needs to hire a nutritionist to get his weight under control. He's too lil & too young to be moving up already. Plus I don't think the shuffling of potential opponents he had for this date did him any favors of being up for this date or prepared to take it as seriously as he needed to be. I think this is a bump in the road for him like many young, dumb mfers find bumps in the road. Gonna have to f#ck up bigger than this to be Broner Jr.
Tank Davis weighs 132lbs. Fonseca 130lbs

Bad look for Davis not Mayweather Promotions. All the other fighters made weight. Jack, Taibiti, Floyd. Davis is just unprofessional. Fonseca is refusing to fight. Of course he's just squeezing them for more money and if I were him I'd squeeze them for everything they got.Comment

True bout squeezing that $, but May Pro could've done a lil damage control, bc u and I both know he knew this was an issue at least 2-3 days ago. Signs were already there, hell so was the scale.

8Such a shame! He's a good talent, was being touted as the future by media and he was the youngest champion.. But on the biggest stage of his life (biggest stage in combat history) he's goes and does that! So unprofessional.
He will never get a stage like this to shine on ever again.. He missed weight twice in his last fight too.. This sport required dedication, hard work and a lot of graft, doesn't matter how good he is.. There are rules and if he breaks them it's a bad look.
This is going to affect him going forward.. It's gonna mess up his psych.Comment

Yea thats a extremely fair statement. This is the biggest featured position of Tank's career & the story isn't gonna be that he beat this undefeated Costa Rican to defend his title, but he lost his titles on the scales. Thats definitely not the story Tank or anyone else on his team wants to be the narrative tomorrow night, but now thats what it'll be.8Such a shame!

Eh. It is what it is. Boxing fans are so f#cking dramatic lol. Things are never as good or as bad as the average guy commenting on sh^t like this likes to pretend it is.
Tank is a talented cat & if he starts learning from his missteps he gots a great career ahead of him.Comment

Tank is done. He doesn't have the right attitude to be great. I see a lot of people comparing him to Broner but Broner has some dog in him. Look at his attitude towards losing the title.Yea thats a extremely fair statement.

I'm young, I'm growing. I had a chance to make the weight I knew I couldn't make it & that's that. I will have a belt again

I'm young doe. I can **** up cuz I'm young. Dan Marino was young when he lost his first superbowl. Never made it back to the superbowl again. Tank's doesn't have the mentality to be great.Comment

LOL okay. You guys are so top of the world or so down in the ditches about guys. No middle ground about a damn thing, feast or famine all the time.
I'll take that bet all day. I bet he re-wins a title at 130 within 6-12 months or if he moves up he'll win a belt at 135 in 6-12 months & be among the top 5 guys at some point after that in either division. I don't think he's a top 5 guy or he's just at #5 probably at 130 now so top 5 would be an improvement on or equal to where he was yesterday.Comment
