I agree with Ishe on Tank vs. Loma

[_Rexy_]

the power is meaningless if he can't hit Loma.

Rigondeaux was supposed to break Loma's jaw and pulverize him. He looked like it was his first match.

[Shape up]

Only problem is, Tank gets hit alot. When he fights backwards, he's atrocious. The ONLY chance/advantage he has over Loma is a bigger one punch shot.

Tank has never fought someone that's more talented, more athletic, higher IQ, someone who is believed to have the best amateur career of anyone ever (which relates to tons more experience), someone who is just as fast, goes to body very well, best footwork in the game, has the best defense in the game, has the best plus/minus in the game (punch stats/defense is all according to compubox)

I say that to say this: anything Tank can bring to the fight, Loma has seen it - but what Loma brings to the table is absolutely foreign to Tank at this level.

Great post, someone who understands boxing

Apparently Tank doesnt think he has a shot. Otherwise he would not say "Only on PPV". The kid has not sold a single PPV and is not even a Main Event fighter.

I think its a 50/50 right now! Loma is talented but I gurantee you he hasn't never been hit has hard as Tank hits. Ishe said he has seen a lot of power punchers and he sees it in Tank.

Nah Nicholas Walters hits harder. If you don't believe me axe Vic Darchinyan and Nonito Donaire

i thought it was easy to knock out bums but now when tank does it he's an amazing power puncher that can beat elite fighters hmmm ok

Maybe someday..not today.

you mean when he's in shotsville? then tank can prove to the fans he was always better by beating him. sounds like a certain other boxer...

[jmrf4435]

50/50 is being REALLY hopeful

Like creed vs the russian

[IMDAZED]

Haha, it was also said that Walters and Rigo would decapitate Loma when they landed...

A small portion of fans said that. Most knew better.

I’d favor Loma over Tank. I think he takes a good shot and is smart enough to avoid most of them. He’s dealt with a fast lefty before (ahem, Russell) and fared just fine. But if Tank remains focused and gets 2-3 more fights under his belt, he becomes a serious threat. He’s just not there yet.

[KingHippo]

I don't. Tank is way too slow and doesn't have the ring IQ. Loma would completely confuse him.
