Teofimo Lopez vs. Gervonta Davis - WHO IS THE A SIDE? Explained

[BillyBoxing]

He’s all of those things but what Tank is is fast and explosive. I’d bet he’s faster than Teo slightly. And don’t get me wrong I’m not saying Tank would win. And if people made Teo the favorite I’d agree with that too.

But I think it’s a competitive fight. And I think Tank has some advantages being the smaller guy, because Tank fights small. Unfortunately we won’t get to see this fight mostly because of the timing.

I agree with you here, most likely quicker than Teo, hands and feet,
but Teo has a better timing IMO, better ring IQ and he's a little taller, longer so that's why I think he will beat Davis to the punch.

Teo did roll well his left soulder vs Loma coming back with a straight right or right uppercut counters.

That's the problem, fighting small with Teo with an average defense you're getting lit up. Davis takes too many punches, he has not been hurt because he's fighting small dudes.

Maybe Davis has a chance pushing Teo back like Loma did second half of the fight, he has the will and variety of punches to do so, but it's just that he doesn't have Loma's defense and angles (not tha Loma is Sweetpea but he has a quite better D than Davis), at some point he will walk straight into something IMO.

You are not going to see this fight because Floyd ain't letting Tank nowhere near Teo.

Doesn't matter who the A side is.
Teo's minimum requirement is $5 million regardless of who he fights.
This is a big fight, so Haymon should be able to raise more than that.
Go get your money Teo. Right sicko?
Riiight. He's putting his life on the line doe.

If you think a side is predicated on belts or resume, boxing is too complicated for you.

[blowblow]

he is the A side and his opponent is the B side.

[Ca$ual Fan]

Fans that Tank took from LSC would be the same fans that Lopez would bring.

No point to discuss this one anyway since Floyd and Bob won’t be interested to pit these two. They’re just gonna keep on protecting their own respective cashcows till the end of time.

Davis vs Loma is more likely to happen

Just make the fight happen next year.

Santa Cruz was touching Tank pretty good. I can’t even begin to imagine what Temo would do to tank. Especially how Temo controls range. Man! And I say this as a pretty big fan of tank. I like the guy I think Tank is pretty damn good. He probably gets stopped though.

WTH is this??? Just give both guys $4 million dollars to fight each other that it

It’s not just Floyd, I think Bob and Floyd are a lot alike when it comes to promoting. I think if Floyd had Teo the fight would be happening because it’s free money. The loser’s career could easily be rebuilt and there’s a small window to stage the event, because Teo’s on the verge of outgrowing the division. That’s why Bob staged the fight. If he could’ve waited a year for the fight to get bigger I think he would’ve. But Teo’s getting heavier every day and there’s no bigger opponent for either fighter so it was either **** or get off the pot. Floyd and Al aren’t ****** they would’ve recognized the situation and made the fight too. Teo vs Tank would’ve been bigger than anything brewing in the PBC pipeline and passing on it would be leaving money on the table.
