Gamboa is a little washed up but it should be good showcase for Davis.

Originally posted by Boxing1013 View PostI like Tank and would give him a decent shot against Loma, especially depending on weight class...but when you/your promoter say you're the best, and you apparently don't want to get in there with the consensus number 1 in your division, you will catch heat for it.

I think Davis gets a bit too much stick for his resume...Pedraza was certainly a very good win...but yeah hopefully he/his team feels ready for him to step up soon.

also pedraza was also clearly the worst belt holder as he lost to edner cherry on most peoples cards and had never fought a top 10 fighter at the time. the other titlists were loma, vargas(just beat a top 5 guy and drew with another), and corrales(just beat the #1 guy) they went for the easiest belt and then refused to fight anyone for 3 years. maybe he can redeem himself but maybe their whole strategy is to just say how good davis is with highlight knockout reals over small and shot fighters.Last edited by daggum; 10-19-2019, 10:52 PM.

I think for his age Davis is coming along fine...I can't comment too much on the specifics of his resume as I don't really follow those weights, but he seems to at least always live up to expectations going in (or outperform as he did vs Pedraza), and I like that.
But again if he/his team are saying he is the best right now, and he is quite clearly ducking Loma/some others, then yeah that is a bad look.

live up to expectations? he's fighting complete unknown guys and small guys moving up. this is their whole strategy. get knockouts and look great but thats easy to do when you are fighting bums. you shouldn't expect anything less than that. just like with this gamboa fight. easy ko. look great. get hype. get idiots to buy/tune in. pretend you want to fight loma. drag that out for years. maybe fight him when hes over the hill if you can get him. in the meantime cherry pick like hes been doing. we know the script. we dont have to be stupid anymore
