    Rooting for Leo but it would be embarrassing for tank.

    If he wins like he should, then Lopez vs Davis would be a damn explosive match-up

      That said Davis is a big favorite for a reason. If he does make 130 is be pleasantly surprised.

      I’m hoping LSC can find a way to upset him.
      Bro I sh^t you not I saw a youtube video awhile back where Tank had 6 pack abs in training camp for this fight. I think he'll make weight.

      What a in shape Tank does I'll be super curious to see. Hell as much as he's half assed trained he might end up being overtrained this time & get upset lol.

          Tank Has a lot on the line imo.

          If he gets down to 130 and wins in spectacular fashion, I think it’s time to take him seriously.

          If he doesn’t make weight because he didn’t train and is just going to blow off the 130 belts then same old tank.

          I’m rooting for Santa Cruz but it’s an uphill climb. If Tank comes in 130 and is solid as you describe, My boy Leo is in for a long night.

          Well maybe a short night. Lol.

            I'm a fan but also a Tank critic concerning his motivation, but the weight stuff I'd bet won't be an issue this time much to my own surprise.

            It's an interesting fight despite the weight stuff people focus on. LSC is active as fook, but idk that he's been in with anyone with Tank's power. If Tank don't show up or doesn't take this fight seriously I could see an upset. But seeing the vids I've seen it looks like he's more serious than usual & it's gonna be a night where LSC has a rough go of it as long as it lasts or he really shines & ups his game to another level & we get some crazy fight. The former seems more likely. Don't think I'd bet on a Tank stoppage, but it wouldn't surprise me.

              What makes you think Tank will lose to Santa Cruz?

                Tank is on of my favorite fighters but if he loses to LSC it’s because he deserved to. There should be no reason why he loses. I’m not saying he can’t have a tough fight because make no mistake, Leo is world class. But if Tank loses....he loses points with me as a fan.

                The Loma-Lopez fight made me rethink how the LSC fight is going to go down the stretch but I expect Tank to show his pedigree.

                We will see.

                  That's the thing I dont get, everyone is making LSC sound like a scrapheap, I've never seen him dominated. Like you said hes worldclass, hes def not elite, but he's in that middle tier "top 10 contender/belt holder". Theres no reason to think that he is just gonna get run over or not put up a decent scrap

                  And as has been mentioned tank isnt exactly a role model of fitness and consistency, dude looked like he had hardly trained for the gamboa fight.

                  Which makes this fight that much more interesting

                    Probably, unless there were legit extenuating circumstances. Those reasons/excuses would be believed/disbelieved along lines already determined before the fight.

                      Exactly. Now if a Tank does happen to go in there and blow Leo back to LA county...then we know Tank is the truth. That would be a fair assessment.
