    Tank has been talking a lot about how boxing has been draining him recently and about him considering retirement whereas Roach has seemed confident and driven throughout the whole lead-up to the fight. Roach was the bigger man at the weigh-in, is the longer man, and filled out quite nicely at 135 it seems. He's also pretty tight defensively and is a decently experienced pro. imo, he looks better than Frank Martin going off of eye-test, Martin still looked quite amateurish to me. I think Roach will give a good account of himself tomorrow night even if he won't win but I'm curious if anybody gives him much of a chance against Tank?

    Honestly pray Roach beats Gervonta.

    So so so tired of Gervonta ATM, won't fight Stevenson or Loma. Just wants to cherry-pick everything.

    I think and I’ve put money on it that it will go the distance and roach will be robbed on the cards, I do think he will be knocked down at some point though.

    Not really. I think he might last a little longer than Martin but he'll get knocked out in the end. Still might stick a tenner on him given the odds, crazier things have happened.

    Not at all but maybe the most unpopular world champion in boxing actually. Nobody speak about Lamont Roach. I think this fight is good for peoples to discover this champ.

    The best thing for Wahids career would be for him to so hes no longer risk averse.

    Ive just realised this is a ppv fight. After the cards Turki has put together for less money, why would anyone want to buy this?
