Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: I'm The Most Skillful Young Guy Fighting on TV

Oh sh^t synthetic T??? I didn't recall it was something like that. But nah I'd bet against him getting the Peterson treatment. This fight was in NY wasn't it? NY won't be as lax as Peterson's hometown (iirc) + Peterson was connected with Haymon which likely doesn't hurt him with bs like that.

Curious to see what happens doe either way, but I think he'll get stripped + be out of the loop for whatever is going to happen with that belt in the near future.

"In a urine test conducted a few days before the fight -- but whose results were not returned until after the fight -- Ogawa was positive for two forms of androstanediol (synthetic testosterone) and he was suspended on Thursday at the Nevada State Athletic Commission's first meeting of 2018, the first time details of his positive test were made public."

Hasn't fought at 135 yet but he's already ranked #3 by WBC and #5 by WBO. At 130 he won't/can't beat Loma and likely not Berchelt. At 135 I can see him beating Easter and possibly even Linares. Mikey Garcia will embarrass him and hurt his feelings. Basically, don't look for Davis to make a big splash at 130/135. He will limit his options with excuses and avoid the best at their best. Floyd will try to make big names out of his opponents in order to boost his stock in the rankings and with networks.

Oh sh^t I forget that fight was here lol. I didn't go obviously. But yea Nevada will DEFINITELY handle him. He's not walking away from this situation with a title or new title fight. He'll get some sorta suspension & the title will be decided within his suspension.

I would love for the IBF to order Farmer vs. Davis!!!

Win or loose he needs to fight Loma. Boxers tend to make too much of a big deal about an 0 on their record. I think the fans would rather see this fight win or loose then not fighting at all. Davis would benefit 10 times more than fighting b level fighters. I say make the fights that make the most sense-regardless.

It’s a big deal because of how the fans are. I mean look most of these people don’t shut up about loma losing to salido. If tank lost to loma or whoever people would bring that up every time his name is mentioned. That’s the problem with boxing fans they criticize a fighter like crazy for having a loss, but want to cry about how fighters are scared to fight other top fighters.

He should either fight berchelt, loma, or farmer

I say f.... the 0. Surely it shouldn't matter as much as it does but for some reason boxing fans want to put the bar at perfect and anything less is disastrous.
In boxing it is very very hard to keep the 0 their whole career, especially if they are fighting the best, but if fans didn't care soo much we might get to see these bigger fights that we want to see instead of these lower class bouts.

The hate Tank gets is stupefying.

Even the business is made that if you lose a fight you basically have to rebound with 3 or more wins just to get back to where you were before the loss. But yeah a loss shouldn’t really matter as much as it does

Ummm. Slippery. Tank probably is one of the youngest fighters who gets televised so it's possible he's not not too far off the mark even though he ain't exceptionally skilled - though Inoue is only a year older and I'd opine without hesitation that he's the more skilled if we count Japanese TV, that is. Shakur Stevenson will probably have something to say in a year or two though.

Agreed on every count. I'm not sure if you'd agree with this, but I think Anthony Yarde is about to explode and be the mini-Joshua of the UK in 2018.
