Tank vs Barrios: Predictions, Discussion, RbR

Davis vs Barrios is less than a week away. Anyone ordering it? Firesticking it?

I think I'm actually gonna order it. It should be an explosive matchup, regardless of the winner.

I think Davis has some early problems, but eventually blasts Barrios circa 7-9.

If Davis blasts him early with no problems, then it'll be impressive.

Thoughts?

 

Damn. No one cares about this matchup?

 

REED is Mildly Interested and Will Definitely WATCH, But it's Early in the Week...

After the Final Presser and Weigh-In, Excitement Will Pick Up...

A Part of REED Wants to Pick an UPSET, But We'll See How the Rest of the Week Progresses...Btwn Tank-Barrios and Loma-Nakatani, REED's Smelling an Upset... *sniff sniff*



REED

 

Its possible, but I suspect both Tank and Loma will win.

 

I'm watching either Loma, or Martinez. I couldn't give a fuck about Tank.

 

Will be interesting to see how Davis does at 140 with no size advantage and against a definitely taller opponent.

And Lubin vs. Rosario should be good too.

 

It's a good matchup.

Davis isn't as good as his hype, but at least he's guaranteed not to be boring.

Barrios is an exciting fighter as well.

 

Not too arsed whether or not it's a good match up. Loma vs Nakatani is a much higher quality match-up IMO, and has the added wonder of seeing how Loma deals with such a lanky pain-in-the-ass coming off the back of surgery. Plus, Loma is well better than Tank and I reckon Nakatani is clearly better than Barrios too. If I'm remembering right, Barrios should've lost to Batyr. I absolutely despise Tank and while I hope he's brutally KOed, I'm not gonna waste my time and watch it live. I'm far more interested in the much better match-up (IMO, obviously) and seeing how a real elite talent like Martinez progresses.

 

I expect Davis Barrios to be alot more competitive than lomachenko nakatani

 

Agreed. And with respect to Loma being a lot better than Davis, yeah probably, but I'm not convinced that the current Loma would beat Davis.

Nakatani... I feel like Nakatani is getting overrated. Let's put things in perspective - Nakatani gave a good account of himself against a Fimo that was very distracted and not at his best. And still, Fimo won clearly.

He (Nakatani) then went life and death with Verdejo, which isn't exactly the hallmark of an elite fighter, as Verdejo is fucking garbage - as a fighter and a human.

Nakatani is getting too much hype. Loma should not lose this fight.

Davis-Barrios, to me, is the far more compelling matchup because there's better odds of an upset and better odds of an action fight.

 

No One Has an Easy Time w/Nakatani...




REED

 

Agreed. Nakatani is gutsy and though as leather, but he's getting ridiculously overrated. The.Verdejo win was a great comeback, but it was more a case of Verdejo being a fragile frontrunner than anything else

 

And Verdejo almost had him out.

The Lopez fight has him incredibly overrated, but let's be honest.. if they had a rematch and Fimo was focused, he would fuck Nakatani up.

As long as Loma has trained well, he should be winning this.

 

davis looks soft

 

Wouldn't say that to his face though....

 

My friend Angel is on the card in the 3rd fight.

 

As Stated in the Loma-Nakatani Thread, There's HIGH Upset Potential w/Tank-Barrios, for Similar Reasons...

Tank - 5'5 1/2, 67 1/2 Reach
Barrios - 5'10, 71 Reach

TALLEST, RANGIEST Fighter Tank Will Have Ever Fought...At a Weight Tank is 100% Foreign/Unproven At...

Santa Cruz Presented BarriosESQUE Attributes...Stance, Approach and He TROUBLED Tank Davis...Swelled His Right Eye and Everything...Difference Is, Barrios is Loooooooonger, Stroooooooonger and Hits HARDER than LSC...

1st and Foremost, Barrios Needs to Be VERY Active w/His Jab...Mix Up Speeds, Paw w/It, Just Leave it Out There Sometimes, All to Ultimately OCCUPY Tank's Short Ass w/the Left Jab...Barrios is a Counter-Puncher by Nature and Delivers SNEAKY Ass Uppercuts/Bodyshots...SHARP, If Not "Hard" Puncher, Also...

Wouldn't Surprise REED @ All if Tank Wins CONTROVERSIALLY or LOSES Outright...REED's Lumped Loma-Nakatani w/This Fight on UPSET Potential, But @ Least Loma's FOUGHT @ '35 Previously...

Again, Tank or Loma LOSES Tonight, in REED's Opinion...


REED

 

I don't see it. Think it will be fairly routine wins for both names

 

Anybody has a link to the fights?

 

REED's Firesticking it Brother BARON, Or Else He'd Hook You Up w/a Link for SURE...

Sorry...



REED

 

I hooked him up and in return he shared some sweet nudie pics of his sister.

 

Nice KO by Adames.

 

Barrios ain't winning in those gay ass trunks he wearin.

 

Lubin-Rosario is next, then the main.

 

Lubin beating the fuck outta Rosario. The end is near.

 

Lubin's Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay More NEGATIVE Than He Was Pre-Charlo...

Rosario HURTS Lubin in an Exchange...



REED

 

Now Rosario has Lubin in trouble!

Fun fight!

 

That Wasn't Even REMOTELY the Hardest Shot in Rosario's Arsenal...Lubin's Punch Resistance Must Really Be SHIT...




REED

 

Lubin definitely doesn't have the best chin.
