I wonder if Tank might not take it now? Loma is hittable, and Tank hits harder than anyone.

    Tank can't beat even this washed up version of loma, shakur and haney do though. And I like tank but its a bad matchup for him still.

    If Tank can just sit tight and wait till Loma turns 40, then yes he has a chance.

    First, we'll see if that judge throws the book at Tank or he continues to have rich celebrity privilege.
    Second, Tank has a good style for Loma who lunges in, can be caught with uppercuts, and Tank has a monster one. This is another must make fight and clash of styles. Things will not get easier for Loma as Haney, Tank, Cruz, Garcia all bring different things but also huge threats. We'll see what Loma is really made of.

    Tank is not as big as Ortiz.


    There is a reason even LDBC admitting that Tank was avoiding Loma for years.

    Loma still has too much pulse for Tank's taste.

    Tank's speed, skill and power puts Loma in a bind because Tank can separate him from his senses.

    Tank could very well be the best LW. Either him or his handlers have their doubts though as there are a bunch of top guys and he isn’t fighting any of them

    I acknowledged Tank's game changing power.

    Conversely, Tank can be outboxed, and his physical dimensions will not present the same kind of problems that a taller, longer fighter would.

    If Tank doesn't stop Loma, and there's hardly a guarantee that he will given the Ukrainian's experience, battle-tested chin, and still excellent boxing abilities, he's probably losing on the cards.

    Today the fight is a much closer proposition than it would have been 3-4 years ago. Prime Loma outpoints Tank to a very comfortable decision.

    Watched V/H/S 99. Wasn't bad. The first two of this series were amazing! Last few...not so much.

    This fight will never happen.

    Simply because Loma is no longer young and the other side has been waiting for the right moment to beat him.

    Loma will be 35 in next few months and Tank has been avoided Loma for 5-6 long years to wait until Loma is old enough to be beatable. So if I were Loma, I wouldn't give it to him. Why would Loma entertain such an unfair way of competition?

    Sure, some people would bring up case when 36 years old Floyd Mayweather beat 23 years old young Canelo. But each of every boxers in the world have different declining point. Some boxers started declining fast in early 30. Not every people are the same.
