Comments Thread For: Crawford Criticizes Davis' Win Against Gamboa; Tank Responds

[Corelone]

Tank is getting it from all sides, that should let him know something, but a hard head leads to a sore butt. Tank is the whiz at 130, short but dangerous. At 135? Too short and not so dangerous. At 147 he'd look the same laying down as he does standing up.

[Curt Henning]

You could be right. Crawford does have a mean streak about him that makes that seem possible. Still, I would hope that Crawford is in his own lane, and simply had an unfavorable opinion of Davis' performance. It's not his job to play nice for a guy who was out of shape. Given his trouble with securing fights with PBC fighters, he probably doesn't want to show respect to anyone in the promotion right now, and that's the unscripted stuff I like honestly.

if he wants to talk he should be talking to/about guys he could actually fight though.....

its like wilder talking trash about crawfords last fight lol....or jean pascal talking about crawford......theres guys he can talk about....talk about porter...talk to porter...talk about danny....not some 135lb guy.....if you didnt like tanks performance theres a way to say it......you arent intimidating any of the pbc WWs by talking down on tank davis lol

porter already said hes got the greenlight and crawford went pretty quiet.....

[PAC-BOY]

Crawford may be trying to set up a fight with Davis. What better way to raise his stock?

I hope not. Because with that performance if Crawford...WHEN Crawford wins he wont any credit for beating a hype job. If the kid gets some good wins under his belt in next couple of years maybe. Crawford better keep on Spence and Manny for a good payday and good career wins if he beats them

If you have anyone comparing 32 year old undefeated Gamboa to the guy we saw on Saturday you know they're an idiot. Which is exactly what Davis planned to do. It backfired, and the only take away we got from Saturday is his punching power is diminished at 135 just like Broner. Both fighters who made their name KOing smaller opponents at 130.

This.

i have respect for bud...i think hes very good

but im looking at tanks twitter and i cant find where he is talking about crawfords last fight....i mean....did tank every really bag crawford in the past? if he did i missed it...not saying he didnt....but i dont see him mentioning anything bout crawford around crawfords last fight

so why is crawford out there bagging a guy "across the street" several divisions below him that hell never fight? why isnt he calling shawn porter and trying to get a deal done?

has crawford ever sold 14k tickets once? like tank has back to back fights in two different cities? sounds like crawford sees something he doesnt like and is trying to get some shine off of it

Bud's just a boxing fan like the rest of us.

He called out the robbery that was GGG/Canelo too.

He just gave his honest opinion.

There's no mistaking that Tank had a soft fix and blew it.

Gamboa is 38, has been knocked down 15 times in his career, and even tore his achilles during the fight.

Tank couldn't make weight even after moving up in weight, started a dumb fight at the press conference, looked sloppy & winded in a fight he was supposed to win easily as a showcase fight.

Crawford's a real ass cat.

[Boxing Goat]

Because Davis is 2 divisions below him, and had to use his kitchen sink to stop the still fresh remains of Yuriorkis Gamboa. Crawford should focus on Haymon fighters that are his size.

Seems to me like they just fought a common opponent and were debating about it. So is this another way of you saying that Crawford was just weight whoring when he was fighting at 135 and 140?

crawford is a "real ass cat" that got very quiet once porter actually said he had the blessing to make a fight with him.....after all he talked...and how bradley went out and talked for him....he went real quiet real quick....wheres all his bark?

like i said....theres a way to come across and express how you felt in a respectful way....he knows hell never fight tank...tanks a 135lber...as far as i know tank has never said anything disrespectful towards crawford(i may be wrong...just unaware)....

i have no problems with bud...i think hes very good....i just think its poor form to go out bashing a guy in a class youll never fight in again...a guy you will never fight....because his fight went longer than you expected it to.....

like i said...theres a hint of bitterness in there...tank headlines, makes good money and is selling tix....if you dont think that irks bud just a bit youre lying...

ishe smith talked about the fight too....he wasnt not impressed....but he was respectful in the way he went about it.....because hes was a fighter and its a brotherhood....crawford aint trying to sell a fight with tank not now or down the road....no real need to bash...it doesnt make you a "real ass cat" to talk about tank like that...it makes you look bitter about something

and saying a fight was a robbery isnt the same as completely trying to dog a guy on twitter...and if bud thinks golovkin was "robbed" in either of those fights i question him....close fights...yeah....robbery? nah

also to add

he did win the fight easily.....it just went longer than most expected....not once did he struggle.....he didnt look sloppy...looking sloppy is not being able to find your punches and land....sloppy is getting tagged more than you should...these things didnt happen....he landed his power punches at a very good clip

yes he was winded and took his breaks...first time going past 9....although i wont excuse it because hes fighting 12 rounders and should be prepared to go 12 any time hes in one.....even guys like canelo have had stamina questions and have taken rounds off to get their wind back....its not the best look there...but its really the only thing you can truly knock him for in that fight

the fight wasnt a struggle....you guys perceive it as one because you want to...because it went longer than you thought it was.....but you didnt think AJ would lose to ruiz...or ward would stop kovalev....or any other upset in sports history that you didnt think would happen...thats why they dont fight on paper...thats why games arent played on it....

[Bronx2245]

Bud really should not have made a comment like that! Tank is on point with the Benavidez "clap back!" I wonder where all this is coming from?

[Fire4231]

Crawford must be really drinking Bob's Koolaid? He is turning into the biggest hypocrite at Top Rank.

If memory serves me correctly Terence lost the first four rounds to Gamboa and got buzzed before a come back and stoppage in the 9th.

In addition Gamboa was not looking fantastic before that fight. He had gone the distance with Darleys Perez. A guy who Gamboa barely sc****d by in a boring fight. Many writers said it was Gamboa's worst performance.

Terence needs to stop selling his soul at Top Rank or he will find himself a retired outcast like Tim Bradley. Bob isn't even promoting him right.

Matter of fact just fight Porter or somebody breathing because you been fighting a garbage collection since reaching 147.

You didn't look great against Mean Machine the Top Rank equivalent of Ivan Redkach. The guys claim to fame was a draw against the New Ray Robinson.

In addition,how are you going to talk about Gamboa when you just fought the PBC's welterweight equivalent in Kahn? Is he just trying to distract us from the fact he is ducking Porter?

This dude is becoming a let down. I follow TC more than Tank but right is right.

I saw an article in East Side Boxing, stating that Crawford did not want the Porter fight. I wasn't sure if that was true. If you have a link, please post it!

Bud is desperate! He's talking reckless now! He's not been his usual self! I think it hurts him that Fury and Loma get more push than him on ESPN!
