Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I'll Fight Gervonta Davis - But Only at Lightweight

[millcitymauler]

You are so right... The thing about Tank is he only throws the proper shot, with the proper hand, in any position he’s in. He just has that smart body positioning you really can’t teach. It gives him the ability to freeze Loma with feints, that will still allow him to follow up with his money punch

Tank gonna end the hype once and for all, he must stay focused every minute of every round and not allow himself to get frustrated!

He has the speed, quickness, reflexes, patience, body work and power to make this a tough nite for Loma!

People are underestimating Tank and Loma is one of them!

The people in here who are saying Davis will beat Loma will be the same people who call Davis a bum after Loma beats him LOL

[minemax]

Tank is too fat for the super-featherweight division anyway, so no problem.

Mikey and Tank stops loma. The guy got knocked down while winning and actually was losing the second half of the Linares fight. Hate and say what you all want but Tank Davis will knock him out. 🥊

Based on what? Who has Davis even fought? I don’t get the hype behind him? Is it because he is black and affiliated with Floyd? I’ve seen him fight 3 times and the kid is ok for now. He does have potential

Did you see his last fight? Linares is worn out, damaged goods. Way lesser talented guys KOed him. Loma's performance was disappointing and tasted the canvas good too. Davis would have finished him in that round, no coming back.

You like to talk about how Davis would do this and that, but don't want to see him do it.
This kid isn't as good as you think. Have him step up or what's the point of talking. You're probably fine with seeing Davis fight the Tevin Farmer's of the World. Farmer isn't all that great for people that actually think he is.

Davis didn't look so great in the Mayweather-McGregor undercard.
Davis is only power and athleticism. There is a few different ways to beat Davis. I already see it. I don't think anyone at 130 is good enough to do it, Loma being at 135 now, so I'll give Davis that much credit, but Loma and Mikey would beat him. That's why he probably wants to befriend Mikey instead of fighting him.

Let's see Davis move up or what's the point in having all of his fans trash talk about how he can beat this guy and that guy, but not actually want to see him do it now?
Or is there a valid excuse as to why he cannot compete against them?

Surely it can't be age because fighters that are of similar age or even younger are fighting or willing to fight top opposition. Jaime Munguia was willing to fight GGG on short notice. He is two years younger than Davis. That's a real boss. Munguia didn't hide behind his fans.
It can't be pro inexperience. He already has 20 fights. Other fighters are competing against top level opposition with less fights. He's been a pro for 5 years already.
So what is it? You guys are talking about how he can do all these things, but want to wait 3 years for him to do it.

There are already guys coming up in the pros and amateurs, that compete around the same weight class, that have more potential than Davis. He isn't the future of anything. Even if Davis avoids Loma and Mikey someone on the come up will beat this guy.

Seems a lot of people are confident enough to think Davis beats Loma, I think the Linares flash KD has given a lot of people hope. Hopefully that fight happens after the next fight, I hope Loma takes a tune up after his shoulder surgery. Really don’t like fighters taking a bit fight after a major surgery like that.

Davis fans just like to talk about how he is going to do something.
That is boring. Actually do it or what is the point in talking?

Davis can stay nice and safe at 130, while the real fighters actually go out and fight the best. Not just talk about fighting the best and say they're going to do this and that and not actually do anything.

Not for that long I expect. Tank's still filling out and he's already shown signs of struggling to make 130. I'll be very surprised if he ain't at LW by the time he hits 25.

EDIT: And it's got the potential to be quite a nice fight too, actually, though Tank really needs to be getting some rounds in with a better class of opponent if he wants to be ready.

Davis is a bully at his current weight class so there should be no excuse.

Tank has no chance of beating loma..loma plays with tank too much skill for that hot headed one dimensional fighter

[SugarRaRobinson]

He won't know if it's a 100% until he has a fight, though. Or is he not allowed a comeback fight to see how he performs after surgery?

All that can be figured out in sparring. Sparring doesn’t lie, or give off false signals.
