Tank Davis vs Ray Mancini at 135lbs

Tank would knock him out because he's on a different level.

 

I love Ray Mancini. Never stopped throwing punches. Fought with heart and could hit. Did well against a few south paws too. I’m just not sure if his chin will hold up to Gervonta Davis though. Tough call

 

Tank is pretty good at setting traps on the back foot so I think Mancini's aggressiveness can work against him.

On the flip side though when Davis fought Romero at 135lbs and Romero was pushing forward, Davis did seem uncomfortable a few times and did not respond well during those moments. Ultimately Davis did get the KO off the trap though.

Now that i think about it...Romero is more of a Taekwondo fighter than he is a boxer with an extremely weak resume who had no business in the ring with Davis so the fact that Romero did so well against Davis for as long as he did says alot about Davis's holes in his game.

Mancini was on a completely different level than Romero and considering how well Romero did i think Mancini will get the knockout.

 

Our work here is done.

 

Now that I thought about it even more....Davis was gifted a fight against Pitbull Cruz and everyone knows it.

Cruz with a two week training camp beat Davis and was robbed on the cards. That's why Davis never gave him a rematch even though from then untill now this fight is highly controversial and also the most requested rematch by fans.

Cruz and Mancini had similar styles, coming forward while initiating the fight and always punching with power.

After this analysis Mancini gets the Knock Out no doubt about it.

 

Mancini was tough asf and in great condition, I wouldn't count him out.

 

Tank a sharpshooter and throws with speed, heavy and at angles. I think he'd swell up boom boom real bad. I'd like to pick the guy who's from the same region as I am, but I really can't here.

Boom's best chance is if he could force a "stand and deliver" war with Tank, he could actually win like that if it happened..............but quite frankly Tank is too smart to sit there and just take/trade. He won't let it happen and will chop him up as he tries to force it.

 

Mancini fought a very strong fight and made it into the 14th round against Alexis Arguello . This is a closer fight than at 1st thought.
