Dan Ambrose: Tank beats Lopez. Here are the flaws

[Combat Talk Radio]

“I got the whole package. Teofimo do not have the whole package. He doesn’t have the footwork or none of that. I have the whole package. If he’s willing to stay at 135, we can make the fight happen,” Davis said.

You can see what Davis is driving at when he talks about Teofimo lacking the whole package. Teofimo has these major flaws in his game:

• No inside game
• Can’t fight going backward
• Uncomfortable when being pressured
• Stamina problems
• Gets flustered when his opponents fail to fall apart
• Too proud

What we saw Lomachenko expose in the second half of the fight with Teofimo was a fighter that has too many holes to stay a champion for long. Without Top Rank matching Lopez carefully, he’s going to wind up like a lot of one-hit wonders.

Teofimo will likely not give the green light to Top Rank to match him against certain guys like Tank Davis and a rematch with Lomachenko. There are too many chances that Teofimo will lose to them, and his career will sink into oblivion.

You’d have to favor Tank Davis if he were to fight Teofimo right now. Teofimo’s inability to handle pressure and being backed up will hurt him big time against a fighter like Davis.

As a result, Teofimo wants no part of fighting Tank, and for a good reason. He’ll likely lose. All the things that we saw Lomachenko do to Teofimo in the second half are things that Davis would do.

Thoughts? I personally disagree about Tank. The flaws are legit - I just don't think Tank is the one to exploit them properly except MAYBE the inside game.

But every one of those flaws - again, if we ever had someone like Valero, that person beats Lopez easily.

Dumbrose was the same loma nuthugger thats said for years that Loma kos tank & is unbeatable at lw,now hes acting like Lopez wouldn't batter Tank. These writers never learn............. humility.

Loma can beat him in a rematch, too
Many people blew Lopez’s performance way out of proportion as if it was a virtuoso or generation setting display!

Lopez did well to cut off Loma’s signature circling right but the rest was Lopez’s size an Loma following his fathers game plan too much!

As soon as he threw his own game plan out the window an pressured Teo, you could see all of Lopez’s flaws!

Lopez’s uppercut is quick but he kind of telegraphs it by putting his gloves together an feinting it and still coming with it !

Lopez has a really good right hand but his jab can get lazy which can cause him to get countered when beginning to throw the right hand which is one of the ways how Loma had success on him late!

Lopez will stay undefeated as long as he stays away from a Loma rematch, Devin Haney, and Josh Taylor!

Him vs Tank, probably Lopez wins cuz Tank can gas and Lopez works the body but so does Tank!

It’s a 50-50 fight cuz Tank can fight on the inside and unlike Loma, he’s a big puncher and stronger!

Tank won't fight him smfh....

Tank called him out on Max Kellerman’s show, Tank is right that Teo doesn’t have the whole package, he won’t stay on top for long now that there’s film on his flaws!

[Thunderstruck]

Who has tank fought?I see plenty of flaws in tanks last fight.The midget will get knocked out.Mayweather won’t let that fight happen.They will stall it untill Lopez is at 140 for awhile then demand he comes back down to 135.

Cool, let's see it. Tank is the oldest of the next crop of up and comers and hasn't been in a real fight since the Pedraza fight. An L doesn't matter so long as he tests himself.

Tank won't fight him smfh....

This. Floyd is guiding tank. He'll take all the low hanging fruit and have one or two big fights here and there, when the guys are old as ****. Tank is young as hell too

Well Bob has to know that Tank is the A side since he’s a bigger draw, brings the money, more exciting to watch and would be favored to beat Teo!

As long as Bob and Papa Lopez knows who’s the A side then we have a fight, only on PPV btw!
