Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Makes Weight On Return Trip To Scale

[Lazy Jab]

I think he just doesnt want to move up and have to face more questions about why hes swerving lomachenko

Even in the event he does move up, that fight happening is unlikely. Too many hurdles and politics.

I wouldn't see it as a blatant duck. I wanna see that fight as well.

He needs to be more active obviously he is not Mayweather who stays in shape all the time

It has nothing to do with that. I don't see SRL walking around obese...

It has to do with the lack of TMT logistical support for Davis. The kid needs a strict dieting program and better supervision than what he currently has. I doubt Mayweather cares tbh or what critics would say. Mayweather's ego for everything is "fine" is irresponsible. Then again, Davis was allowed to try and make weight.

fcking undisciplined unprofessional thug!!! How dare he be .2 pounds overweight!!

Do i fit in now?

[Ake-Dawg]

If he isn't killing himself to make weight than why doesn't he always make weight on the first try? Why did he lose his title on the scales? He just didn't feel like making weight, is that it?

There is a back story to not making weight in Vegas. Something about drinking leading up to the weigh in and being hungover. Very unprofessional stuff.

As for the first try comment. He made weight easy (129) versus Cuellar. Why he didn't this time is a problem for me, but mostly on the part of his team. He didn't look drained at all and I don't know how they forced almost half a pound of water out of him in 30 minutes. Which leads me to believe that his team is amateur hour and adds one more reason why Mayweather wanted to replace them all.

It is not the worst to be overweight by a little... except that you would think after it happens once and he got as penalized as he did he would be paranoid about it. You would think he would shoot for 129-ish for the weigh in as opposed to trying to squeeze it out perfect. I agree with those saying his team needs to take some gruff as well. If you are a 125.1 pound to 130 pound champion, you need to be there at weigh in, no excuse needed.

That said, he made weight and the fight is on. This could be a really fun scrap.

not just all this but he also was like 30 minutes late because he was still trying to lose weight lol, yeah he isn't killing himself

He's killing himself to make 130. I want to see him at 135, facing guys his own size and not Featherweights.

In all honesty I don't believe he's having trouble making weight. He looks fine I think it's more of his team not knowing how to time his weight cut correctly.

I think tank will move up in the near future but he won't face any killers at 135 right away. In all actuality there isn't really any "killers" at 130 or 135. Lomas not likely cuz he's TR ESPN, Mikey is a mystery as far as where he'll end up after Spence, Machado is big but green & not likely (TR) Lopez would be a good fight but he's TR so that's not happening either.

The best fight we'll realistically see Tank in is against Farmer. Not something I'm excited about because I feel Farmer has no power and eventually gets ko'd but I'd still like to see it

[travestyny]

He lost his title on the scale before. No biggie? Time for Tank to move up and hope he can stay at 35 for awhile.

But he was a whopping .2lbs over this time and made the weight. Perhaps he will move up soon.

[kushking]

Well lets see Loma fought Pedraza at 135 whom tank kod easily & Loma struggled far more than Tank did at age 22 vs undefeated Pedraza. So I think if he moves to 135 it shouldn't be a disadvantage,it might be a big advantage from now because he can fill in those extra 5 lbs of muscle & become even better considering hes already koing guys Loma couldn't. I'm not saying triangle theories either,its sound thinking to think Tank might be better when hes not having to cut weight & can instead gain stamina possibly. The key is he is now grown enough to compete at 135,though I don't see him ever going to full 140,135 might just be his ideal division?
