Does last night prove Tank and Mikey G have chances at beating Loma

Mikey has probably always been the favorite in a Loma fight.
I have never given Tank much of a chance but after last night, we at least know Loma doesn't have a granite chin so there's a chance... I'd still heavily favor Loma though.

What do you think of Tank stamina? I seen he got fatigued in the Pedraza fight. If he doesn't take Loma out early i could see Loma not giving time to rest especially since Loma gets stronger in the later rounds.

I'd have Loma a very slight favourite against Mikey, but believe it or not the bookies will give you about 3/1 on Mikey in the event of the fight happening this year, which is waaay wide in my book. I also thought Jorges at 7(ish)/1 was over the top too, FWIW.

Right now I'd give Tank a chance, but not a good one. Kid needs a few more years to be at the top of his game I think... let's just hope he stays on track.

Loma reminded me a lil bit like the prime Pacquiao. The movement, footwork, angles. Mikey vs loma would be a chess match. Cant wait to see it.

I think Mikey is too big so big I'm not sure its a fight I'd want to see though of course its intriguing. As good as Loma is I just feel its almost an unfair expectation of Loma.

The size difference is huge. He's got a much wider frame than Linares.

Tank is inconsistent, in his body and mind. We've only seen glimpses of it against moderate competition but in a fight against a P4P guy, those things are amplified.

I've always had this impression that in a few years, people will look back and say he was just too stocky. He is too thick to cut much weight, but short to be fighting in the higher classes.
I could be entirely wrong but I'm just not sold on the guy.

I always believe Mikey can knockout Loma and after that fight it really proves my theory!

Loma moves a lot to distract you, overwhelm you, and to get out of the line of fire while trying to work angles for his own opportunities!

You beat that with speed, good stiff jabs, working the body, solid stamina and power!

Mikey has most of those attributes and Tank has about almost half minus the championship solid opponents experience needed!

Both would be good fights no matter how many people feel that Loma would handle both!

Linares has nowhere near the punching power of both guys!

I like Mikey's technique of zero wasted effort and Tanks explosiveness!

Hope both fights happen!
