Ok, it was fun trashing Tank Davis for the Gamboa performance but....

[ShoulderRoll]

I'll be real about it. If the Tank that knocked out Pedraza showed up it would have played out differently. Tanks not super talented or anything but he isn't a bad fighter. He's just regressing because of weak competition and a ****** lifestyle.....

I think you're right.

To be sharp fighters have to be disciplined, fight often, and fight progressively better opponents.

Gervonta is not doing any of those right now.

[ChicoGuapo]

Styles make fights. Commey was tailor made for Lopez cause he likes to trade and his head movement sucks. Nakatani was awkward and rangy.

Thats what I mean. He was criticizing Haney and Tank for their last fight when they are no necessarily defining.
I am just playing devil's advocate!
I personally think Tank is too unprofessional to go far at this point.
Lopez could beat Loma, but if his mentality of "i am not fighting anymore tall dudes" is present vs Loma, he will quit the moment Loma gets a bit of rythm going.
Haney is great, I just don't think he can beat Loma at this point. The big advantage he has in his jab and reach is sorta limited by Loma. He is sort of an orthodox Luke Campbell, therefore losing part of the advantage of outboxing that Luke had.
All of them can beat Loma, but Tank is absolutely the worst of the pack with that **** attitude!

If he shows up any fight with him is automatic fireworks Loma included

[CatchAndShoot]

He was picking his shots, and conserving himself, because he wasn't in the proper condition to unload like he usually does. Chalk it up to poor preparation, and not taking his training camp, and porfession serious enough.

He'll be better prepared in his next fight, and put on a better show.

[TheCell8]

He looked great against Pedraza, easily the best opponent he's faced... and then stopped fighting opponents of that level and looked hit or miss in several fights after that.

[MulaKO]

Tank is his own worst nightmare
In every sense

[daggum]

it was fight of the year against the man that beat salido who beat loma. prob the best win of the year and people are hating? wow

[CubanGuyNYC]

Or maybe his power isn't as effective at 135. That's what it looked like to me. He hit Gamboa with some huge shots and it took 12 rounds to get him out.

Yeah, I’ve been thinking the same thing. It’s possible Tank’s power didn’t follow him to 135. Gamboa had been down a ton of times in his career prior to the Davis fight, so going down three more times meant nothing. On the other hand, Yuri took some hard, flush shots that made everyone take notice, including the commentators. Nearly a full twelve rounds to finish an old, injured, stationary opponent? What would Lopez have done?
