Gamboa did not expose tank davis

I saw and replied to those posts. Lol That was really reaching.

You think lol

They all would've struggled with this version of Gamboa; he looked sharp as hell.

Sharp? Lol hope you don’t mean his outfit or haircut!

Gamboa couldn’t put no weight on his leg and survived that long merely by Tank’s low output, toughness, and ability to weave some shots and excessive clinching!

Davis was too ****** to even target the body of a one legged old man.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

If a fight shows some flaws in a fighter's skills, then I'd say he's exposed.

In this case, whether it was by Gamboa or not, I say Davis was exposed. He definitely seems to be having trouble going 12 rounds and unlike Gamboa, guys like Loma and Lopez aren't going allow him to get his second wind.

inactivity kills fighters. a fighter in his early 20's should be in the ring 4 times a year. tank wasn't. once in 2018. twice in 2016. hell, in his second year as a pro in '14 the dude only had 3 fights!

he lacks consistency in his style and output in part because he's underdeveloped. so when he's not knocking someone around the ring he looks it. i would say that his level of development has been exposed. he's still missing a lot of nuance when his gas tank is low. still going to be a threat when somebody wants to punch with him early.


what i worry about long term is the weight. this kid will be at 135 or 140 lbs sooner than later. might even go for a big money fight at 147. his power will look so f#cking ordinary punching a welterweight. and he's about 5'4" tall.

Tank has been consistent fighting twice a year, any more than that will burn out his body, come on man give the kid a break!

He did try a few times but he pushed for a highlight reel KO to the head instead of a bodyshot which still can get in the highlights!

Tank is a devastating body puncher, he underestimated Gamboa’s durability, craftiness and didn’t come into the best shape!

Tank is a smart fighter, but I think he’s believing too much of his own hype and is allowing the fruits of his labor to takeover the work that he needs to put in the gym!

What you saw was a fighter that is used to stopping fighters smaller than him. Hence the low output and staring down his punches because he expects his opponent to fold from them like before.

That maybe true as well so this will/should do him some good!

Hopefully this motivates him to get back in the gym sooner than later cuz we know he has the talent and skills it’s just the work ethic needs to catch up dramatically!

Tank is too inactive.


He was getting touched up.


He gains too much weight between fights, has to have a camp to lose all that weight; another poster said this also.
