Shakur beat Tank easily

David finds him late

 

Martin had great foot work but Tank was able to close the distance and took him out..Stevenson won’t be able to keep running..

 

Shakur would end up like Martin but maybe few rounds later...

 

The thing with thank is he has the power and timing. He’s like Wilder with actual skill but low output. You need an iron chin because he will land.

 

Davis stops him late whilst being down on the scorecards, but getting to him more and more as the fight goes on.

 

I think Stevenson could frustrate much of Tank's offense, but I have significant doubts that he'd be active enough to win a points decision.

I can easily envision a scenario in which Tank stalks Stevenson all night, doesn't land a whole lot, but still earns a dreadfully boring decision based on his aggression/willingness to engage.

 

I believed in Shakurs skill but always questioned his heart/chin. After the Edwin fight it confirmed to me that Shakur either is scared of power or is uncomfortable dealing with it.

Against someone like Tank who will get down with it and will surgically try to cut his head off, I think Shakur will succumb to his fear and ultimately get KOed. In fact I think the fight will go somewhat similar to the one we watched last night.

 

Shakur would only run for 12 rounds and wouldn’t risk throwing any meaningful punches to take rounds, while judges will give it to Tank for being the aggressor and not running entire fight even if he didn’t land his KO. At least Martin was throwing hands to win rounds. Shakur will not take that risk. If he ran most of the fight against Los Santos, imagine how much more he would be running from Tank.

 

Agreed. Frank showed, at times, pop Tank with jabs and combos before Tank gets set. Only problem was, Martin stopped doing that and allowed Tank to get him on the ropes too much.

 

If he does he will outbox tank
