    Leo's best chance just waved goodbye...

    I don't think many were giving LSC much chance anyway, but yeah, what shot he did have was largely predicated on Gervonta not being / staying in shape.

      Pretty much this ^^^^. Either way LSC is a lamb in this fight. LSC and his father knows that as well. That’s why they would only agree to the fight at 130. Because it meant LSC wouldn’t be as badly beaten up in his loss. And make no mistake about it LSC is losing either way. He didn’t have any power at the lower weights and the only way he could win is to stop Tank Davis. Anyone that put any sort of money on LSC needs their heads checked.

        Someone Tanks height should be able to make 130. Now Tank not being disciplined enough to make 135 is not the same as outgrowing 130.

          Yep, it was slim and none forreal. And slim really needed Gervonta to be sucking air 4 or 5 rounds in from the weight cut.

          This however, has all the signs of them doing it smartly and gradually. And that's really bad news for LSC and his gameplan.

            A lot of posters want Tank to fail because he is aligned with Floyd and Haymon.

            They desperately want him to keep being the unprofessional slob that has out of the ring issues.

            Their greatest fear is that he matures because even these bigoted haters realize a focused Tank, backed by Haymon, trained and advised by Floyd, with his drawing ability and punching power, is a real threat to beat their heroes in the future. Top of that list is Loma.

              Good post. This is the truth.

              You were pretty sceptic about Davis having the ability to beat the hypejob. Good to see you coming around.

                I saw Gervonta wanting to take Floyd's head off a couple of times, and he was always ahead of Floyd. Floyd was boring him sometimes while Davis wanted to go at him.

                Floyd works on defense with him as I told this board a couple of years ago. Gervonta's real training is with his real trainers, yet to come.

                Cong**** Akhi for the content. Keep up with Tank and Lopez.
                TMT have nothing to worry about. They only need to make 135. Floyd and Haymon don’t care about 130. When Tank comes over, and should LSC lose, the 130 becomes vacant. LSC will still have his 126 belt. PBC still wins by promoting 2 Champions afterwards.

                As if it isn’t obvious..

                  What shape Tank is in will show up in the fight and not in a short video. He had better be in shape because Leo always is and he throws more than 1000 punches every fight.

                    Hey Frankie, it's not about Cruz, it's more about Gervonta wanting to be the boss in two divisions simultaneously.

                      I bet you he don’t make 130. PBC has a perfect plan. Look at how big he is next to Floyd and working comfortably. He looks about 155lbs. Means he will have to cut to 140lbs with muscle mass. Then 10lbs of water after... which he already has trouble making 135...

                      130 isn’t the plan bruh.
