    That wasn't a freak outcome, Jason Sosa beat him a few months later and got robbed and he looked terrible and arguably should have had a draw against Alexis Reyes. Gamboa is shot to s*** and old, with no power or reflexes left. And due having one leg last night was literally a sitting target. There is zero excuses will suffice as to why it took Davis who's supposedly this savage knockout artist, 12 ****ing rounds to knock out an old shot glass jawed gimp.

    A protected fighter moving up in weight, missing weight and needing more time on the scale, coming out and having major trouble putting away a one legged, faded, chinny, smaller guy is not good for Tank’s stock. Gamboa was definitely a cherry pick, someone selected to because they thought he’d be an easy win. Gamboa did his part, showed up looking very slow and faded, unable to snap a punch or put anything on his punches. He even blew out his Achilles to make things easier for chubby little tank. Prime Gamboa would have sparked Tank last night. Tank needs to go back to fighting smaller guys moving up in weight, preferably guys who can’t move or punch. Keep milking his only legit opponent, calling out big names and talking **** on Twitter. It’s a formula that seems to be working with his idiot fans.

    The bookies used 5.5 rounds vs 9.5 for betting purposes so yeah he was supposed to crush Gambo quickly

    Yeah bookies don't predict with their hearts so they're usually more accurate but even so, they get things wrong too often.
