whats the deal with gervonta davis ?

[CatchAndShoot]

lol its all good bro im just talkin

You know what, I just looked up his highlights, and I love this kid's fighting style. I just wish he'd stop being such a **** in the ring. I'm gonna start following this kid's career. And you know what, his craziness (was watching a video of him going crazy during a face to face confrontation with another boxer) could either help him, or destroy him. I hope it helps him, because he is fun as hell to watch.

I'll admit, I barely watched any of his last fight, because my mind was too set on the Floyd/Conor fight, and I was scrolling through the fight thread, and just glancing at the fight, once in a while, so didn't really get to see what happened, second by second.

He reminds me of a little bit more advanced Pacquiao at this stage in his career, but obviously less explosiveness, and footwork/agility, but similar. He's got the southpaw stance, and he likes to **** it out. My type of fighter.

He wasn't in shape, period.

Also, behind the scenes he has never gotten along with Mayweather and TMT. Even last year, Floyd had his moronic website do a hit piece of Tank and others (most embarrassing journalism I've ever seen).

Floyd started to get cool with him again when it looked like Davis was really progressing. I still think he can be very good but it is pretty sad that he didn't come prepared to fight like a professional on such a big stage.

Yea he's f#cking up, wasting his opportunity maybe it sounds like. I follow him on snapchat & all he ever does is perform car karaoke + flash money or ***elry. Meanwhile all I see Ryan Garcia, Joshua & Eubank Jr doing all the time is working out (Jr is ALWAYS in the gym).

Yeah man, I hate to see a guy with so much talent take it for granted. He has great tools: power, speed, footwork. But he still needs to learn the fundamentals (not loading up on every shot, using his f.cking jab!!, and setting up shots properly) and he'll never do so unless he puts in the work.

When he gets in there with a boxer at the top of the sport, he is probably going to get schooled.

Neither of those fighters is nearly as bad as Davis. I remember a few fights ago he basically teabagged a downed fighter and in the last one he throws a very dangerous rabbit punch and then mocks the way the fighter looks when he's on the ground?

Hey didn't this guy kill someone in the ring? whats he doing here? Oh Kovi is jus playin, he da 'Krusha'.

Nadjib Mohammedi, Nathan Cleverly, Jean Pascal, Andre Ward are just hatin on 'Krusher'.

[GhostofDempsey]

hype job at 22 yrs old and already won a legit world title?

people called him a hype job before pedraza

The champion who doesn't think Loma is relevant. The champion who Floyd said isn't ready for Loma. The champion who just had that title stripped because he doesn't have the discipline to make weight.

Come back after his next five no-name opponents and tell me he isn't a hype job.

Come on dude you can't play the killing card on him that's harsh.

And honestly at this point catching a L might be the best thing for him to turn the tide.

I wonder if his trainers don't got a problem with it or they don't care they are just happy to have a guy making some money finally thus taking their cut?

He's definitely not a hype job like I see some people calling him. Stevie Wonder can see he's got skills, but you still gotta hone those skills sharper & improve. Can't just stay at the level your at & expect to get bigger without getting better.

Well deserved and I murk'd you, good day.

[Oh_Snap]

Probably got his priorities f#cked up. He's young & talented & just starting to get headlines, attention + money. Lotsa people f#ck up whtn that becomes a reality & a few even end up completely f#cking up their trajectory if not their career. If Tank is the former or the later its still too early to say & ultimately he'll choose via his actions.

Randomly, on a podcast today Brandon Schaub said Floyd appeared to be backing off of his confidence in Tank's superstar potential in the fighter meeting when he got brought up. Mighta just been mad about the missed weight or mighta been being 100 with them. Who knows.

Yeah I see that happening. Floyd was asked what was the biggest thing he'd learned from boxing outside the ring and Floyd made a statement about young fighters being ungrateful. Saying he's giving guys advances and they're messing around. I figured he was talking about Tank

[Sup]

The British commentary for that fight was hilarious, so obvious Sky were told beforehand they werent allowed to mention Lomachenko

He's got explosive power for his size, it's something you will notice right away if you watch some of his previous fights. They are against mismatched opponents so far.

But yeah, he looked terrible in this fight, I'm not a fan of excuses but all indications point to him being sick with a cold or flu or whatever it was. There's no reason to believe he should have went as many rounds as it went with that guy if he was healthy. He was supposed to put on a showcase and it all turned on him because of his douchbaggery.
