Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Russell Solid Opponent For Tank, But He's Not At 130

Sorry Floyd, but that was weak! GRJ is a much better opponent than 37-yr. old Yurokis Gamboa! So is LSC! If you can't make the Farmer fight, then GRJ or LSC are way better options! IF YOU WANT A PPV, LEO SANTA CRUZ IS THE BEST OPTION OF THEM ALL!

Floyd said nothing wrong. Gary has to move up so we should be asking Gary WHEN is he moving up?

DiBella: Davis-Farmer 'Meaningful Possibility' For Late 2019
January 10, 2019

A grudge match of 130-pound southpaws between Baltimore’s WBA “super” champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis and IBF counterpart Tevin Farmer is “probably inevitable” and “a meaningful possibility” for 2019, Farmer’s promoter, Lou DiBella told Tha Boxing Voice during a Tuesday podcast hosted by Nestor Gibbs, Ronald Goodall, Michael Gross and Mario Mungia.

“You could probably see a Gervonta Davis fight [with Farmer.] I think it’s probably inevitable,” said DiBella. “If it happens in 2019 it will be late in the year. It won’t be early because of Tevin’s contract with DAZN. But late in the year, it’s certainly a meaningful possibility.”

Someone is going to cut Tevin Farmer a nice check! Either DAZN or Mayweathyer, but Tevin is going to get paid!

NICE! Good for Tevin, he deserves it.

I agree with you about PBC protecting fights but did you have to go the racist route? You piece of trash

PBC is making most of the fights so what are YOU talking about?

I laugh at reading this article when it stated “Gary Russell is still waiting for fights against Mares or Santa Cruz”.......it’s been 2 dam years move on already. Russell is also one who likes to feast on weak opposition ever since he got schooled by Lomochenko.

All I know is I don’t expect Russell, Davis or Santa Cruz to fight each other. I don’t really care for these fighters, they fight once a year and expect to be praise as boxing stars haha

I want to see Gary & Leo go at it.

Thank you for the biased article Top Rank media shill Mr. Keith Idec.

This is a great fight but what is not mentioned is the weight. I am sure Gary Russell Jr. would love to fight Tank at a catchweight. So moving to 130 is not on the menu. We all know Tank struggles to make 130 already. Meeting at 128 would drain him.

It’s a good fight but why shouldn’t Russell prove he can fight at the weight 130 so there aren’t any surprise weight drain tactics in the negotiations?

But Idec no more unnessary black eliminators. The best fight at 126 is and has been Russell vs Santa Cruz. That fight is WELL over due and on the same side of the street. So why is this shill placing more pressure on Russell vs Davis?
As usual we see Idec’s bluff and we go all in as usual.

Is that what you got out of this article? If Gary really wants Tank then Gary should move up the measly 4 pounds or keep calling out Leo. Tank & Farmer is the better fight & yes Gary should be fighting Leo.

My man, Tank was willing and ready to Abner who hasn't made any noise at 126 or 130 lately but GRJ needs to make some noise first? Tank has fought nobodies who came up byt won't fight a real challenger.

It's a duck move considering GRJ has called him out for a fight numerous times already. Mayweather leading the kid down the path of least resistance. He's a champion, not a prospect, it's time for some real competition to elevate his status in the game.

So are you going to ask Gary when HE is moving up to meet Tank? If Gary doesn't move up then its nothing to discuss.

But Farmer with his six KO wins has the power to keep Tank off of him?

Tevin can absorb the punches better than Gary, Gary is a little dude.

idec is the biggest pbc shill. U got it twisted. This site is owned by pbc. He has been shilling on them daily. That’s why he continues to shill
With this story. They say Russell jr fights at 126 but so did Mares and cuellar when they were bringing them up to to 130 as midgets to help make tank look good. Good work exposing this guy as a pbc shill. Even the way he talks about their ratings is biased compared to the way he bashes tops ranks espn ratings.

Bullshet. All major media is "old media" & all they do is discredit anything T.B.E., Haymon or PBC related.

[j.razor]

Russell said he would move up for the fight. That’s all we need. Mares and cuellar didn’t say they were moving up yet Tank had no problem fighting them undersized foos. Stop your bias.

I'll believe Gary when he actually moves up in weight.

So Davis vs Mares was ok, but Russell vs Davis isnt? wtf kind of bs is this?!?!
