    Tank relinquishes WBA 140 belt confirming he will compete at 135 pounds. I think this brings his fight with Kambosos sooner rather than later. Makes sense as the biggest money fight and the winner will get the kudos.[url]

    Good. He needs to fight at the lowest weight he can comfortably make.

    This was a necessary step due to WBA new rules he had to give up 1 of the belts so chose 135 pounds to deal with the likes of Kambosos, Garcia and Haney before later moving back up to deal with Taylor, Lopez and Rougarou. Though Haney might happen at 140 because he is struggling to make 135 pounds. Loma just might get it as well if and it’s a big if, if he gets past Shakur Stevenson who may end up fighting Tank if he beats Loma.

    I'll wager Teofimo Lopez will get the first shot at this vacated title.

    Hes better suited at 135 anyways. Just think what Taylor would have done to him saturday night. At least at 135 he has a better chance at ruling the division at some point.

    The lighter he is the faster he can cherrypick.

    He would have been eaten alive at 140 anyway.

    Was that the International belt, the Aztec belt, the Franchise belt, the Gold belt, the Platinum belt, the
    linear belt, the Pound for Pound belt, or the Mayweather-tells-me-when-to-poop belt.

    No surprises here. I hope this means he will actually try to get a fight with a top five LW. He’s only been at the weight for two years and is 27 years old. No longer a prospect. It’s going to look silly if he pulls up another featherweight. His fans might catch on to the scam.
