    Tank was just that tonight, but Farhood calling him a three-division "champion" reeks.

    Yeah, sure, like he was KO'd after he was down twice in the 8th right?

    PBC did a whole profile on Calvin Ford being a guru of the fundamentals,

    https://www.premierboxingchampions.com/news/fundamentals-calvin-ford

    ...but neither the main fighter in his stable nor his newest prospect, both appearing on this same card tonight, have very sound fundamentals and rely almost entirely on raw power as we saw in their respective matches. :sisi1

    Davis has a lot of dog in him and has a lot of variety of punches in his arsenal.

    I could see Lomachenko giving him a great fight but he may take rounds off due to being apprehensive of Tank's power.

    Lomachenko doesn't have one punch power like Tank. He hurts fighters with his accuracy, speed and timing.

    You're crying more than Barios!!! He didn't want it anymore. At that point, the fight needed to be stopped.

    A regular fella you could get a beer with and talk into letting you take a pic with the belt.

    Barrios was doing so well even when backed up he landed some nice body punches and seemed to stay calm other than the knockdowns.

    They can't count Taylor as unified and undisputed as long as there is another belt floating around, or this belt ain't worth sh't

    This is true, but the fact is they DO have power, and so long as they have it, there's no one at or around their divisions who they can't beat. We can't use the, "so-and-so can take their power" dynamic anymore (except GGG vs Charlo, but c'mon, he's GGG: Canelo couldn't knock him out).
