Before you jump on an say it’s boxing any punch at any second can turn a fight, do people think tank has a credible shot at beating Loma. I’m not Bias to either camp but I see a lot of established posters sniggering somewhat at tanks chances and I’d like to know the general feeling for this potential match up? (Not that I hold any hope about it being made soon)
I'm still on the fence when It comes to Davis whereas I know what level Loma is at now. So that leaves it a difficult question to answer for me, if Tank is as good as his potential then I think there's a very good chance he sparks Loma out, if he's a bit of a hype job flattered by his opposition then Loma wins a decision.
Yeah think you summed up the point I was trying to get at better than me haha. Personally think there could be something special about that boy from Baltimore
Scary to think loma will be pushing mid 30s not long from now, I feel like we’ve only had him as a pro for a short time
There's little real evidence to suggest it. He's very good, so has a chance to win , but a lot of it is assumption work with Davis.
The way I see it there's usually two varieties of the American prospect You have your Jeff lacy/ Seth mitchell/ broner type Then you have your Errol spence/ Crawford type I still don't know which group Davis belongs in
And this trend is getting worse The funding now means it's not a bad idea to stay in the cushy amateurs well into your late 20s, pummeling teenagers who only put on a glove a year ago
And then you look at Hughie fury who at only 25 has fought and went the distance with Parker, pulev and Povetkin
Yeah I'm inclined to agree. His best win is Pedraza, which is a good win. Pedraza had his moments in that fight but didn't stick to his own gameplan as he himself admitted. Since then, Tank has done nothing except struggle with weight and balloon up in between fights. Really want to see more from him and fighting a past it Gamboa is not that
Well loma presses the action so does get hit and tank has power, but like others have said hasnt fought the same level of opposistion. If it happens anytime in the next 12months even id say no he doesnt chin him, but i believe he and mayweather will leave it as long as possible to fight him for loma to decline in reflexes, speed etc
At this stage right now, Loma picks him apart and stops him. Their timelines don’t match so neither will be able to fight the other when both are peaking. Lomachenko is showing signs of wear & tear with the injuries he’s had. Mayweather knows exactly how to play that game and he’ll wait until Loma declines before entertaining that, if at all.
Im a Tank fan but he clearly doesnt live like a pro. When he is out partying and eating burgers Loma is doing keepy uppys at the gym. I dont think Tank could live with the pace Loma can set and not sure Tank has it in hm to go 12 rounds at any pace yet which means he would have to try and get him out of there early. Like most i dont think this fight happens until Loma is on the slide.
