    Davis needs to go say Hi to Lomachenko and stop being a coward.

    Novice? he's the second best Super featherweight! He should step up. He should want to face the best instead of cherry picking.

    Refreshing to see some American fighters having their own views rather than tug the old 'murica is the bestest' line like so many do.

    Think she's packing a Joanie Laureresque super-clitoris?

    ...more importantly: think Yusaf Mack would suck it for $$?

    Perhaps not quite as straightforward as that. I'm sure Davis did mean something along the lines of "Wilder fights like a boy-who-acts-like-a-girl" (thereby possibly earning 2018's worst smacktalk award), but etymologically this is all over the place. The "tom" part of "tomboy" isn't there to negate the "boy" part, or to suggest femininity - it is supposed to suggest masculinity, as in "tomcat". In fact, I think tomboy originally meant a wild male child or something along those lines.

    So... tomgirl, if you look at the semantics, is actually probably a better word for a tomboy than tomboy itself, it being a more literal description of a girl with masculine qualities. "Tom" is supposed to derive from Thomas being the most typical man's name back in the 1800s when the word was coined, so the inverse of a tomboy is something more like "Janegirl".

    If somebody could tweet that at Gervonta I'd be most grateful. I'm going back under my rock.

    They are roughly the same size.
    GRJ = Gary Russell Jr...WBC FW champion
    Tank Davis = former IBF JLW champion

    Former because he couldn’t boil down to 130 anymore. So when is Tank fighting Linares, Beltran, or Easter Jr.?
