    Tank will probably break his jaw

    Shakira holds his mouth open

    No, it won't be easy. Frank was having early success and Shakur is a helluva lot better than Frank.

    davis stevenson would be a snail paced, inactive fight. maybe davis catches him, or maybe stevenson jabs well and moves and wins. its pretty clear cut how it would go. either stevenson boxes smartly and wins pretty wide or gets KOd. either way its not gonna be anything action packed. maybe compelling if davis gets a late come from behind KO

    if stevenson stays in the pocket like he did this past fight then we got something interesting. makes no sense for him to do so

    Of course Shakur won't stand in the pocket against Tank. I'm just concerned that he won't let his hands go enough on the backfoot to win.

    Davis isn't Aaron Pryor in terms of activity, but he's gonna be consistently aggressive and down the stretch he's gonna force the issue more and more. Shakur... I don't know if he's gonna keep enough of a workate to meet Tank's aggression.

    It depends on your definition of success. Tank's fights typically end with him either losing some rounds while hurting or knocking out his opponents. As they say "close only counts in horseshoes." Shakur is likely to be knocked out badly... he lacks the power to hurt Tank who will likely walk him down. It seems like an easy win for Tank.

    Tank should rout stevenson, who seems to be stalling in his development

    Nobody is talking about that decision on the undercard. ESPN scored it 119-109 for Foster and he lost his title by split decision.

    Tank has a puncher’s chance against Shakur, imo. It’s a good punchers chance. He legit could end him at any time. But I still believe that Shakur outboxes him for the most part. It would very likely be boring. We’ll see how Tank does against old man Loma.

    After half a decade Tank fear of Loma should be down to 20-30%….

    I still think Loma v Shakur are going to have to fight it out…Tank doesn’t want to lose that 0….

    Yeah, I was puzzled by some of that nonsense. I just posted the story. I prefer news sources that keep their opinions out of it.

    Would much rather see Zepeda in the mix than Shakur.

    I rather see Shakur vs Tank than Loma vs Tank.

    Shakur may be dull to watch, but he has a better chance against Davis.

    I can't envision old man Loma beating Tank, I really can't. I think Bozos made Loma look better than he currently is, because Bozos is so terrible.

    I say with very very high confidence that Tank will stop the current Loma.

    Shakur's the best chance of upsetting Davis, even though he's less exciting than Loma.

    According to Wiki, the fighters who either refused to negotiate a fight with Shakur or withdrew from negotiations are:

    William Zepeda
    Isaac Cruz
    George Kambosos Jr.
    Frank Martin (withdrew)

    I meant zepeda in the mix to fight Davis. Point being, I don't clamor to see what Stevenson does next - it doesn't really interest me. Zepeda vs. Davis or even Loma on the other hand? Great potential fights.

    Tank could run Stevenson and Loma out of the ring and actually win a decision

    Power Obviously AIN'T Shakur's Strong Suit, But Why Don't MORE Guys Simply "Walk Him Down" if it's THAT Easy???...Why Did Artem STOP Trying to "Walk him Down" After Just 3 Rounds???...

    Shakur Actually BROUGHT the Fight to Artem from Rounds 3-4 Onward...Can't Punch, Wasn't Hard to Find, Yet Artem STILL Fought to Survive???:Dont:...

    Granted, Tank Won't Do THAT, but REED Thinks People UNDERestimate Shakur's Ability to DETER, if Not HURT his Opponents...Similar to Sweet Pea Whittaker, You Just DON'T See Guys Making a Round by Round Commitment to "Walking Down" Shakur...Not for More Than a Handful of Rounds, That Is...

    The Artem Fight was Just Like 4 of Shakur's Last 5, Where the "Running" was Non-Existent...

    Shakur Will Be Anything BUT an Easy Win for Tank...REED Doesn't Pick Tank to Win @ All, in Fact...

    Shakur is now beefin with Mase, because Mase said he doesn't wanna see him fight anymore. Shakur said that Mase was a failed rapper and is better known as a Podcaster.

    Wtf??? Shakur showing his young age. Failed rapper? Mase was arguably the biggest name in hip hop from 97-99. He was a megastar.

    These kids man. They literally don't know shit about anything that happened pre-2010.
