    Tank does not lose rounds. Yesterday he easily won 5 or 4 of the completed rounds and the only round he lost concensus wise was the 1st round and only because he chose to by not throwing a punch but merely feeling Ryan to clock his rhythm and analyze his data then you see what happened after the 1st round.

    Probably not because the fight probably doesn't get made.

    But if it happens, I think we'll see him dominated. Not that Tank is a bad fighter, he's just going to get beaten at his own counter punching game. Much like how Marquez as good as he was, was at a big style disadvantage against Maywether, I think Tank will just not be able to adapt and fight in the more aggressive manner he will need to when he's out boxed by Stevenson.

    It’s a big if that you assume Shakur outboxes Tank because nobody has ever outboxed Tank. That’s your first mistake and flawed assumption.

    "There's only 1 Floyd Mayweather, 1 Floyd Mayweather, walking along singing a song, walking in the winter wonderland!" No one can duplicate Floyd, but there are fighters out there, specifically Shakur Stevenson that flash those same lights of brilliance.

    You do know Tank is one of the most accurate cats out there. Shakur has never faced a fighter like Tank that’s for sure.

    Not even convinced that Bob Arum will make that fight.

    And just because nobody has out boxed Tank before doesn't mean he can't be out boxed, that's your mistake and flawed assumption.

    Don't think it will happen, Arum I think is aiming at Loma at least that's the name he seems to mention the most when talking about Shakur.

    I know what Tank is capable of, but as easy as it is to write off Shakur as not facing anybody as good as Tank, those same things can be spun around the same way in Shakurs favor. Tank hasn't fought a guy on Stevensons level either.

    That is the fight that was advertised to us yesterday. Nice to see Tank win rounds and do more early on.

    It’s a classic case where I think Shakur will outbox him for long spells, but will end up getting stopped

    You don’t think Tank would get him out of there?

    I do see your point as Shakur is on a different planet to Garcia, but hard to see where Tanks ceiling is until he is tested
