    I refuse to take advice from someone who believes Andre Ward is TBE.

    Davis definitely has the power to knockout Loma if he lands clean, but stylewise I think Loma is a bad matchup for him. Davis doesn’t really pace himself well and his defense needs a lot of work. Davis hasn’t fought anybody that has the workrate and accuracy that Loma will bring and he’ll make Davis pay every time he makes a mistake.

    Stop stirring the pot. No need for that.

    No, that IS NOT the reason why they're picking Loma here, the reason is because Lomachenko has a next level virtuoso like innovative elite skillset, and anyone who doesn't recognize that, is a casual, notjustacasual. Knock off your race baiting, this is your first and only warning.


    AND THAT GOES FOR THE REST OF YOU. Keep it civil, stop bringing up race, and the next person who does, gets a banstick shoved up their ass.:rosstheboss

    You do the same and I bet you wouldn't be nearly as impressed
    Pulling the race card? Lol both these guys are damned good, nobody in their right mind can argue that. Loma turned pro and hit the ground running. Now, because of this, people feel if a young fighter isn't following the same template, Loma can beat them. People, nobody in the history of the sport, to my knowledge, has had a start to their career like Loma. So, it is unfair to set expectations like that on new fighters. Can Tank beat Loma, yes. Are Loma's skills superb yes. Would I be surprised if Tank put Loma to sleep, no! Would I be surprised if Loma outclasses Tank, no! You guys never learn! Ward was supposed to be easy work fo Kov, Canelo was supposed to be easy work for G and Ruiz was an easy KO for AJ. We will have an answer when they enter the ring. Good fight no matter what!

    Davis ring IG is very underrated. People don't notice Davis doesn't just throw punches or heavy shots unless he's in range too. He doesn't waste punches. Davis is also pretty accurate with his punches. Also has good foot work and has good ring generalship. He can be touched, but that's due to him being more offensive minded. He is slick enough to avoid punches though. He's more problematic for Loma than people want to believe. U can say Davis hasn't fought anyone like Loma, but u can also say the same that Loma hasn't fought anyone like Davis. Time will tell late 2020 or early 2021. Either way, Davis will be ready by then, and i pick Davis to win.

    I said imo loma / tank is a 50/50 fight.
    Said same thing about Ward vs Kova .
    I slightly favored GGG for the first fight and he won, but was robbed.
    I can admit I was certain Joshua will beat Ruiz and slightly favored Rigo to beat Loma.

    I dont really care because apparently im the only one that realizes that Loma will never get to step inside the ring against Tank because FlIVd isnt going to let his golden goose anywhere near that guy while he has a pulse.

    If Tank is serious about this, he should file a petition to WBA to make him mandatory challenger to Loma's WBA lightweight title (which as a consequences, Tank might have to relinquish his current belt). Otherwise, Loma has no obligation to fight him anytime in near future as his current goal is to unify the 135.

    If it's up to the promotor again, we all know how this is going to end up.

    Dont get me wrong, guys. I think Loma could pull through and squeak a close decision victory but he'll have to be on his P's and Q's. His punch resistance is what worries me here.

    Wake me up when Tank actually beats someone that's impressive. Have him fight slick boxers like Farmer, or even old Cubans like Rigo or Gamboa at least.
