Lomachenko would have a tought fight with Tank Davis

I personally think this would be a great fight and Tank has those sneaky bolo uppercuts and his inside game is tight. He really goes in there and boxes well with the intention of getting his guy out of there. He is not trying to take it 12 rounds. This is not a gimme fight for Lomachenko at all. I think the lingering question would be how well Tank would deal with Loma's lateral movement and feints and if he could stay composed enough to do his work for as long as it took. I think he would need to try and bully Loma and make it an inside fight as much as possible. It would really be a shame if we didn't get this fight.

 

If he's a tank Lomas a stealth bomber!

 

I think Linares is better than Tank Davis.

 

Styles make fights bro.

 

I think Tank can give Loma troubling moments, but ultimately, Loma steps up another gear and takes it away.

 

I agree. I mentioned this a few days ago, pending if Tank moves up...

 

It's a totally different fight to the Linares one. Gervontaa is definitely more comfortable on the back foot than Linares, and he is going to have to be, because he'll be doing it for 12 rounds. We saw that Linares really struggled, he was confused in parts of that fight because he couldn't counter Loma's constant offense. He was on the back foot for all 12 rounds and didn't know what to do.

Loma will be more wary, Gervontaa has slightly more power than Linares. But let's be honest, there is a HUGE skill gap here between the two. Mayweather can teach him all he wants, but Loma will still be levels above in terms of skill. Gervontaa's experience lets him down in this fight. It will be a comfortable points win for Loma, 10-2 for me.

Gervontaa has power going for his side, but that's all he has. He will be forced onto the back foot from round 1, and most of his shots will be hitting gloves. Easy win for Lomachenko.

 

I think Tank presents danger for Loma in the early rounds because of his speed and explosiveness. But the difference in class will tell over time, and Tank gets methodically broken down and stopped late.

 

Loma is levels above anyone tank had fought

 

Not even Davis himself agrees with you. It would be fun to watch Loma embarrass that boy though.

 

DuckVonta Gayvis ain't tryin' to inhale no Loma smoke.

 

Good fight. Got to favor lomachenko at this stage. Gets more interesting if its left a couple of years. Davis only 23. Lomachenko 30 I think. Would give Davis more of a chance in say three years time. I say Davis struggles with the pace lomachenko sets. Constantly makes his opponent work to stop him completely dominating you. Davis already showing signs hes not the most dedicated in the gym a couple of fights back. The stamina usually the first thing to fail them. Although tbf think his training camp looked better for his last fight.

Davis looks a talent as well tho. Think he,d be competitive over the first six could be interesting if he could land as much as Linares did. Would expect loma check I to run away with it in the end.

 

Lomachenko gets the stoppage within 9 rounds IMO.

 

Indeed so. But Davis is not yet ready for Loma IMHO.

Floyd didn't want that fight a year ago, because he knew Davis wasn't ready and would lose. The reason he's talking about making that fight now is not because he thinks Tank is ready, but because he's really unhappy with Davis (it's about Floyd's 18 yr old daughter Iyanna).

 

I don't think Tank would be on the back foot at all. If Loma presses, Tank will gladly stand right there and oblige him. As I said above, I think it would really come down to if Tank was able to be confident in his usual style while dealing with all of Loma's movement. If he is contantly freezing up because of it and is on the defensive with his gloves up, then that would be a problem. But if he can throw with Loma and not get frustrated and takes his time, then I think he would be in the fight.
