    He might finally man up and fight Loma now that he's old and past his best after shamelessly ducking him like crazy for seven years but there's no reason to believe he's about to stop cherrypicking, ducking and avoiding the best. He's good enough to compete at that level but he's never been man enough to do so.

    When I saw garcia go after tank in round 2 I did think to myself "careful now" remembering the Romero fight.

    Pleased he got up but the fight was done.

    Garcia was scared of letting his hands go after that, for fear of being countered. That allowed Tank to start moving forward, find Garcias rhythm and dominate the fight.

    I would have liked Garcia to win, but in my heart I knew Tank was the more likely.

    I think it showed how fast tank really is, he matched Garcia. He was more patient, didn't get flustered, figured Garcia out quickly and dominated the fight. I think that's a true sign of a great, natural fighter.

    Don't know what more you want at this point. Would you like me to go to the post-fight conference and say it live?

    I'm not upset, everything I said about you is spot on. I don't even need to guess.... you're going to say Shakur Stevenson or Devin Haney. You're that predictable.

    Yeah, I do. He's literally everything that's wrong with this sport.

    That’s strange, I don’t remember saying I have the say on how hurt a fighter is, I was just pointing out your fallacy.

    It looked a bit like the shot that Bernard landed on Oscar a few years back.

    It looked like Oscar might have been able to get up, but he just couldn't.

    I don't know why that part of the body is so vulnerable and why it takes a couple of seconds for the victim to realize he's been near paralyzed.

    But I've seen it a few times, and the result is usually the same.

    I've been hit there...not as hard as Tank landed on Garcia.. and even a lesser shot there gives you a bad crampy feeling and and a wave of nausea.

    Tank never fights someone with risk. Never.

    He will fight only someone with name and not much else

    He got up immediately after the count reached 10. He gave up.

    Face punches in general are easier to take than a liver shot to the body. Anybody whos ever stepped foot in the ring or has had some street fights knows that.

    Others like Mario Barrios were much better than Garcia. I knew Barrios would be a tough fight. Hector Garcia is a better fighter than Ryan Garcia. Tank has defeated many undefeated fighters. Ryan Garcia is not what people were making him out to be.

    Its the second biggest organ in the body. Imagine taking a heart punch from a jeet kune do expert. Lol

    Haha he's never getting any props. Garcia too unskilled, Loma too old, Haney too drained, Shakur too small etc etc. There's nobody he'll beat that would get him credit on ESB

    Loma needs to beat Haney first which is far from certain so you don’t need to get the excuses in yet. Let’s see how Haney vs Loma plays out.
