    You are correct, that was disrespectful to Zab, my bad.

    My opinion on him has slightly changed over the last year and half. He is fun to watch and is definitely a good puncher. I just wish he stopped cowering behind Floyd's skirt from Loma and actually fight someone with a pulse. Mares could have been a nice match up for him but that never happened... He needs to fight Farmer if he really wants to prove he's more than a match for Loma.
    Would not surprise me if he turns into another Broner.

    I think this deserves a bump after last nights showing...

    Tank has great speed, power and timing but an old washed up Gambo took him deep.
    Not impressed with his performance last night but he ended it well in the final round

    He is overrated. Always has been. Looks good against nobodies and washed up fighters he outweighs by 10+ lbs

    When you talk the talk, you need to walk the walk.

    He "walked the walk" last night(and has been doing it for his last 23 fights).

    Maybe he didn't look as great as some of you expected but he got the job done and if anyone believed he would just bulldoze through a guy like Gamboa then that's on them.

    You mean washed up, 38 yr old, no refelexes, fighting on a ruptured achilles tendon Gamboa...

    No. He did not walk the walk going 12 with Gamboa....lol

    Sadly it's hard to walk the walk, when it takes you 12 rounds to knock out a guy who can't walk.:lol:

    He got the stoppage. LOL

    The problem is, some of you simply judge boxers through hate-filled glasses.

    So you're one of those who thought Davis would just steamroll through Gamboa with no problems? LOL

    Yeah, but that's understandable, because I'm one of the few people that's actually watched this.

    And that was a Castellanos coming off of a 14-month layoff after being beaten to a pulp by Oscar Escandon which was his 12th loss, fighting in a division way too heavy for him.:lol:

    C'mon C. You should know better than base a prediction on a freak outcome that happened over 2 years ago. Especially when Castellanos and Davis have nothing in common. LOL
