      Some say that power is the last thing to go, but in fact it's probably a guy's name...

      Your obsessive boxing heads on here know that Yuriorkis is basically shot to hell, but your average fan will hear the name Gamboa and still remember some of the hype from when he was terrorising the lower divisions the better part of a decade ago.

      Still. Ain't complaining too much, it actually probably represents a step up for Tank compared to his recent opposition.

        Not only that but Davis is jumping up a weight class.
        If you think Gamboa is the toughest opponent Tank has faced you must be one of those cats who think Tank hasnt fought anyone worth a damn yet.

        Yuri would be Tank's most accomplished opponent but at 38 Yuri is well past his fresh by date.

          Let's get this fight out of the way already so Davis can move on to bigger and better things.

          Hopefully he will be busier next year. It would be nice to have him do 3 or 4 fights in 2020.

              that was so long ago I don't expect casuals to remember gamboa and he was never a mainstream star. he's been long forgotten. this fight is atrocious gamboa is old and too small to be fighting at 135lbs he's a featherweight this is no different than when stank davis fought that bantamweight at 130lbs.

                  a more apt comparison would be what if usyk won a belt off the weakest champ at cruiser, defended for 3 years against bums, then moved up and headlined a card against a bum. people run out of patience. its been 3 years.
                  I don't think Gamboa is a bum. Past his prime and old yes, never a bum. You should have a little bit more respect for the fighters.

                      Unfortunately they’re already talking about a ppv vs Santa Cruz. Not that Santa Cruz is a bad fighter, but dude is a fw and tank is now a lw. Bigger better things it is not.
