NAOYA INOUE vs. JASON MOLONEY, OLEKSANDR USYK vs. DEREK CHISORA 10/31

There's logic to your prediction, but there's a problem - Carl Frampton is not Gervonta Davis. Tank is not only bigger and stronger than Frampton, he's faarrrr farrrrr more athletic and explosive, and farrr farrrr more powerful. His headmovement and reflexes also make him a harder target than Frampton. In other words, Tank is just an entirely different level of talent than Frampton ever was.

Moreover, he's a southpaw, and I can't recall LSC facing too many southpaws. Lord knows he avoided Gary Russell like the plague for years. Wanted no parts of Loma at 126, and wanted no parts of Rigo when he was at 122.

That's why I laugh when the media pretends like LSC is this fearless warrior. He's had an EXTREMELY protected career, actually. Ducked the shit outta Russell, Loma, and Rigo. It'd be a complete farce if he ever makes the HOF, cause his resume is too thin to deserve it.

But back to your point, I want you to be right. Trust me, I do. I'd laugh my ass if Leo beat up Tank, but I'm not seeing how it happens.

But yeah, I was very wrong about Loma-Lopez, and happy to be wrong. Here's to hoping I'm wrong twice in one month.

Can't see it though.

I don't have a particular round in mind, but I think Tank stops Leo mid-to-late. If I had to guess, I'd say Tank TKO 7-8.

 

LSC did duck those guys no doubt. Davis has got speed on him for sure and good reflexes. I liked the way LSC was being safe in the 2nd Frampton fight. not taking risks when he was taking the lead. He was wary of being countered. He was backing up waiting for Frampton to attack and then countering with combinations. I'm expecting this fight to stink the joint out. If LSC comes in and tries to impose an aggressive style I think he will get worked but I don't think he will. He can still throw a lot of volume fighting a more reserved fight. Davis would impress me if he completely dominated LSC. Him being a southpaw just makes me think LSC will be even more reserved and careful, making Davis lead with his shitty out of range snap jab and pot shotting. Lets see how it goes.

 

Say what you will about Mayweather jr but he's carrying this promotion

Davis is about as bright as a fence post, with the personality of a stapler and on top of that isn't keen on doing media

 

You Say That as if Floyd DOESN'T Want to Be the Center of Attention Anyways...It's Like Giving the Neighborhood WHORE Credit for Getting into Porn...

You're RIGHT, Tank Lacks the Charisma and Verbal Game to MAKE People Want to Watch Him, But Even if Tank Possessed Those Qualities Floyd Would STILL Be There Stealing Face Time from Him...




REED

 

I have zero issue with Floyd handling all the promotion for Tank's fights. Its his job.

But the topic should be TANK.

Floyd acts like its a goddamn Mayweather fight.

 

Brian Custer just asked, "So, are you gonna make weight tomorrow."

This MF said, "We'll see."

 

Tank really is low IQ.

Even JR Smith would say, "This boy a lil slow."

 

"If You Have 1 Feet in the Streets and 1 Feet in the Gym, it's Not Gon' Work"

GOD BLESS that Boy...


REED

 

What is this nonsense about Davis vs Santa Cruz being for both lightweight and super feather title?

 

Contract Weight is 130 and Santa Cruz has the WBA "Super" Title...Rene Alvarado is the ACTUAL WBA Champion @ the Weight, However...

Simultaneously, Tank's WBA "Super" Title @ '35 is Up for Grabs...Even Though Teofimo Lopez is the ACTUAL WBA Lightweight Champion...

It's Bad Enough Having 4 Sanctioning Bodies, Right???...

Now We're @ a Point Where 2 of them (WBA, WBC) Crown MORE Than 1 "World Champion" Per Weight Class...As More and More Fighter's Challenge Themselves, Seeking Unification, the Sanctioning Bodies Devised a Way to Keep Those Fees Coming In...





REED

 

Mannn that B-more school system...

 

I think you're trying to get at that LSC should employ a similar strategy that Barrera used to beat Hamed.

Only, it won't work, SC isn't sharp and skilled enough.

He can do okay for a bit, but all night? Highly doubt.

I just think he's just physically outmatched, but yes, we shall see.

 

over/under on what weight davis comes in ? i say 134.5 and tells them to fuck off when they demand he drop weight
at what point should santa cruz refuse the fight? they claim they'll force him to lose a pound or two and have to weigh in again the next morning if hes 133.

 

I'm gonna put faith in the kid and say he makes it.

You can just tell in the press conferences that he's slimmer than the Gamboa fight.

 

Both Sides have Confirmed a Financial Penalty for FAILURE to Make '30...Not Sure of the Terms...

All During the Promotion, Floyd, Ellerbe AND Tank Have Said He'll "Make Weight Easy"...If Tank Weight Cheats Santa Cruz THAT Will Become the Overriding Theme, the Narrative of Tank's Career...

You're IN Vegas, WITH Floyd and Your Ass STILL Didn't Make Weight???...For REED, it'd Be Hard to EVER Take Tank SERIOUSLY Again...





REED

 

Despite the Attention Whoring, REED Thinks the BIGGEST Reason Floyd's All Over Tank Right Now is WEIGHT...And to Your Point, Tank's Looked SLIMMER Than Normal in Most of the Training Camp Footage...

Floyd's an Arrogant Piece of Shit, but His Discipline and Commitment to Boxing OUTWEIGHED His Skill, Talent and Ring IQ...And w/This Being Tank's 1st PPV Headliner, Floyd Didn't Trust His Light Skinned, Raekwon the Chef Looking Ass to Train in Baltimore...




REED

 

It Tank misses the weight again, win or lose he's in deep shit.

The elite fighters aren't gonna wanna work w/him, and neither is TR/Golden Boy/Fast Eddie.

No one wants to fight a habitual weight cheat.

 

What was this supposed to be?

 

Is that Chisora ??

 

Never a DULL Moment from Chisora...




REED

 

Unfortunately...




REED

 

Alexis Rocha (16-0, 10 KO's) vs. "Speedy" Rashidi Ellis (22-0, 14 KO's)...

You Don't See Records Like THIS Pitted Against Each Other on DAZN (or ANY Networks) Undercards...




REED

 

"Speedy" Rashidi Looking Like a Low Output Leap Amateur and Shoe-Shine Flurriest After 2 Rounds...

FAUX-Jabber Also...Feints It, but Allowing Rocha to Walk Right In...Rocha Landed a Couple Nice Left Hooks in the 2nd...





REED

 

Rocha Roughhousing, Landed a Couple Low Blows...

Point Deduction for Sure if Another Occurs...Ellis Leading After 5 via CLEANER Punching, Defense and Overall Ring Generalship...

Rocha's VERY MUCH a Threat Though...



REED

 

7th was "Speedy" Rashidi's Best Round...

Rocha's TIMED His Fair Share of Good Shots but Rashidi's SPEED Is Winning Out More than Not....






REED

 

Urgency in Rocha's Corner, as Rounds Are Slip-Slidin' A-waaaay....

DAZN Broadcasters Had the Audacity to Suggest Vergil Ortiz vs. Either of These Guys...Keep the Winner UNDEFEATED for the Next Fight or 3 and Ortiz KO's Either...5 Max...





REED

 

It's Not as if Ellis is Whupping Rocha's Ass, Per Se, But he's Outclassing Him...

Rocha Fights Less and LESS Urgently Also, Tacitly GIVING His "0" Away...





REED

 

Rocha's Fighting Like He Thinks he's Winning OR Doesn't Give a Fuck if he Loses...




REED

 

"Speedy" Rashidi Didn't Set the Boxing Woooorld on Fire...But He WON...

Props to 2 Undefeated Prospects for DARING to Let Their "O's" Go...





REED

 

Almost Sounded as if the Latin Snake Wanted to Pick Tureano Johnson to UPSET Jaime Munguia...
