    I had 100 riding on Barrios to win by knockout at 10/1. Barrios took his foot off the gas at times in the fight and he looked too apprehensive to throw at points in the fight where Tank took over. He had Tank on the ropes multiple times and did nothing.

    Tank just looked like he was the much more experienced of the two. He's just the better boxer with more versatility to his game.

    "I never been a hater, Tank fought a great fight. One punch can be fight-changing. I wanted to continue and got up for a reason; I'm willing to leave it all in the ring, just hope you enjoyed the fight".

    Plus some cheap babyface pop for saying that Atlanta crowds have lived up to all the hype and provided the best atmosphere; this guy knows how to make himself likeable on national TV (er, PPV).

    We haven't seen the last ot Barrios in big main events, for sure.

    No, I'm not crying you ****ing asshat. I'm merely pointing out that it was a bull**** stoppage, then here you come to defend the honor of that brain damaged troll for some inexplicable reason, I guess God forbid there's a little controversy right? Like even with two knockdowns going into the 10th, he probably should have been behind on the scorecards. So I basically say, Barrios is pretty tough, and who knows, maybe he could have seen out the rest of the fight. And that's crying? No, that's calling it like I see it. Davis was getting comprehensively outboxed for large portions of this match and aside from 3 rounds, Tank won, the rest were competitive, and he needed his power and a shitty ref with a shoddy stoppage to bail him out, just in case. But who are we kidding, He was probably up 10 points on all three scorecards.

    I believe it. He usually rehydrates around that weight and he didn’t look drained at all during the weigh in

    I mean, he isn't feather-fisted. Just has solid above-average power - not bone-crunching and soul-stealing power.

    I mean, longtime WBA critics would probably be inclined to say the latter, but yeah, if you're Taylor, it probably irks you that you technically do have one more 'world champ' at 140lbs running around even after you've supposedly clutched all the marbles in the palm of your hand.

    Barrios is very basic overall. He essentially has some power and that's it. Nevertheless he did very well and outboxed Davis for the early parts of the fight. a lot of heart. This was a great fight.

    That wasn’t a bad stoppage at all. Barrios was hurt bad. It looked like he was about to vomit when he was down, and when he got up he was eating heavy shots.

    He was hurt real bad and you notice neither he or his corner protested the stoppage.

    Barrios did absolutely zero arguing when the ref stepped in. We both know he was about to get stopped
