Comments Thread For: Jose Pedraza Stops Antonio Lozada in The Ninth

Ummm Stank caught Pedraza with a lucky punch, i do agree, that he was beating him. Loma schooled Pedraza in his OWN weight division (with post surgery elbow)... Thats the difference

Junior, lucky punches don't exist in boxing, every punch is thrown with an intention , that being said tank almost knocked him out of the ring, pedraza had a very close fight with lomachenko up until the end , which lomachenko was supposed to get rid of pedraza easier and in a more convincing way than tank because to some idiots he was the "#1 p4p" ..idk what fight you were watching but that wasn't no schooling , it was a close fight

You guys are exposing yourselves as either casual boxing fans or fans who forgot what actually happened in the Tank Davis vs Pedraza fight.

Loma's performance vs Pedraza, despite still not being 100% physically, was much more impressive than Tank's. Both Loma and Tank got Pedraza to the same exact spot in the fight. Once that happened, Pedraza was saved by the bell vs Loma, whereas vs Tank, the ref stopped it, but it was the same exact situation for Pedraza. The only difference, the ONLY thing Tank did better than Loma, is that Tank got him there in 7 rounds, while it took Loma 11.

That's the one thing Tank did better. The only thing. And when you understand that Pedraza came to fight Tank, and tried to be a pressure fighter, whereas vs Loma he boxed to his strengths, then even that is not really more impressive than Loma. Getting a mover that hurt in 11 rounds is actually more impressive than getting a mover trying to box like a pressure fighter hurt in 7 rounds.

Then you add in that Tank was healthy, Loma was not. Then you add in that Pedraza was an unhealthy 130 pounder, while Loma beat the best version at 135. Then you add in Loma got hit way less than Tank. Then you add in that Pedraza laughed when a reporter asked him who was better, Loma or Tank, and said Loma without a second thought. Then you add in that all of Pedraza's best performances besides I guess Farmer (who is overrated) have come at 135, vs Beltran, Loma, and Lozada.

All these things are hints to a hardcore boxing fan that Loma's performance was much more impressive, and that Loma is a much better boxer than Tank. If the opposite were true, than Al would make Loma-Tank and let Tank beat Loma and make a ton of money, but Al is a hardcore boxing guy, and he probably employs pro matchmakers who tell him how fights will go, so just because you guys think Tank is better doesn't change the reality that Al knows otherwise and that's why he refuses to make the fight.

I'm not even gonna read your whole composition, go write a book ..all I know is tank got rid of pedraza faster and in a more convincing way and that tank was not a 2 time gold medalist or the "#1 p4p" which is even more impressive
