    130 pounder Twink who has already lost one of his world titles on the scales and has failed to make weight the first time of asking in 3 of his last 5 fights, has had to strip naked to make weight numerous times and looks like he just walked out of a concentration camp at weigh ins, weighs more than Loma does on fight night and is 1.5'' shorter than Loma with a 2'' reach advantage over him. He was 141 last night and a quarter of a pound under 142 in his fight prior to that. Loma has made weight at the first time of asking every single time regardless if he was at 126, 130 or up at 135 a weight class, contrary to the lies many of the Loma haters will try and have you believe, he's tiny at, hence why he only rehydrates a few pounds after the weigh in, looks the picture of health on the scales and no different to how he looks on actual fight night and everyone he fights at that weight, just average sized 135 pounders, outweigh him by at least 7lbs, huge 135 pounders out weigh him by as much as 18lbs.

    I agree Loma's ideal weight class is 130. That's where he looks sharpest and strongest in my opinion. At 130 he was usually 137-139 on fight night. The dudes at 135 generally have quite a few lbs on him. I think he carries a few extra pounds on him at 135 that aren't optimal for his frame. He's a small dude. As far as he and Tank, they are basically the same size. Tank would be pretty small at 135 too. I mean, Commey, Teo, Campbell, Haney, Easter, Kambosos, Linares etc. are all significantly bigger than Loma or Tank. I'd like to see both Loma and Davis at 130, personally.

    Yeah.

    There's a reason why people write comments like this on Twink weigh in videos

    ''Tank gotta move up to 135, he is looking like a damn zombie''

    ''Dehydrated AF''

    ''Davis Loses tonight. He won't have the power. He's drained''

    ''Tank got a move up Weight ‍♂️ he do not look healthy''

    ''Tank doesn’t even look the same person. Cutting that much weight seems ridiculous. Why not just fight at your natural weight?''

    ''Not hating but look at the tanks face he does not look healthy he needs to step up and stop goddamn cherry picking''

    ''He Look Sick. His Head Bigger Than His Body...130..lol''

    ''Tank sounds and looks awful. I don't care what he says.. that weight cut kills him''

    If Loma weighed the same as he does now on fight night but was rehydrating as much as some of these huge 135 pounders are he'd be down at 122.

    I've been saying for years now that by the time Loma is 33 or 34 Tank will be too much for him. Or at least give him hell.

    Loma already offered for Salido. He declined.

    Loma isn't getting offers for fights... He has to take what he gets from the sensible offers.

    Tank will probably be better at 135, he may even be more powerful

    Gamboa-Tank is interesting. Tank hasn't really beaten anyone to rate him accurately. Could he beat Linares at LW?

    If he was with Golden Boy he would have fought everyone by now, ODLH is not really know for protecting his fighters, if anything, he rushes them.

    I would get the protection if he was a prospect, but the guy is arguably in the p4p arguments and top of his weight class in his prime, he has no excuse not to be fighting the best.

    Taking a page from the Floyd playbook for sure.

    I don't think Loma is dumb enough to fight old & faded.. & how Davis stays so relevant with a run like his is beyond me :lol: what a disgrace his opposition has been recently..

    Lomas hasn't been much better to be honest he's arguably #1 p4p right now. Btw tank has a following he packed the arena 14000 last night.

    Davis' recent wins when he beat them:

    Nunez a career BW & SBW.. in fact a Flyweight early on.. was KOd by Ceja in 2015

    Cuellar, coming off a loss & a lay off & pretty much a career FW..

    Ruiz, basically a career bantamweight..

    Fonseca, zero belts or even semi decent wins at SFW..

    Walsh, British/Euro level..

    Davis has been dining out on that Pedraza win for years.. Pedraza isn't even in Lomas top 3.. & Loma beat him barely getting out of second gear coming off surgery..

    Linares, Pedraza, Campbell, Crolla & Rigo combined defecate all over Davis recent run.. Funny u seem to constantly hark on about Rigo yet I never see you pulling Davis up for making a career out of these small guys! Most of those men made there names at Rigos weight or thereabouts.. difference is none were as good as Rigo! Loma has moved up, why isn't Davis doing that if he can't get the fights? Huh? At least Campbell has shown he can hang at 135 beating Perez, Mendez, Mendy & pushing Linares razor close.. What's Nunez or Ruiz ever done at SFW? Loma would beat Davis ;)

    Oh & btw when Davis fought Pedraza the Puerto Rican had fought just once in a year & a half & admits he's more comfortable at 135.. this is evident by his performances too considering hes boxing the arse off the likes of Beltran & Lozada..

    He's a good win for Both Davis & Loma but triangle theories rarely work..

    ;)
