Lamont gave everyone the blueprint.

Tank isnt comfortable on the inside. If you force him to apply pressure, He'll zip in, throw some wild heat and leave himself WIDE open to clipped up on his way out. Over and over and over. Even in clinches Lamont was working better than him.

Theres a reason why he doesnt throw alot of punches in general and we're seeing it now.
He be spamming the left straight, wasn’t jabbing to get inside, lost in the pocket, I really understand now why the top 135ers constantly call him out

I don’t wanna disrespect Tank, elite boxer and is super entertaining; he gets boxing is a production. But I do think he’s been protected too much, but last 3 years he been fighting pressure fighters who throw wild shyt (Cruz, Ryan, Rolly) that he’s far too technical to counter

I think they been teaching how to box to put a nikka out for the crowd + PBC is treating him like the PPV king since Spence went inactive.

Dude took a knee mid fight and knew he wouldn’t be punished for it; boxing is such a pressure sport where your every step, feint and movement is isolated and calculated.

Only nikkas who think they a movie star in boxing ring would do some shyt like that; I ain’t worried bout Tank. Need to see what his team does next. It’ll let me know how serious they are

I know I'm not the only one in here who said this would be inevitable that eventually you're going to give up too many rounds in this so-called "downloading the information" or whatever bullshyt phraseology today want to use to cover up for the things that he can get away with when he's fighting a a lower class of competitor

Imagine Leonard and Herns staring at each other for 6 rounds slowly analyzing each of their opponent's feints

That's not greatness

This man was challenged last night and in that he showed some glimpses of heart to step it up when the situation called for it but even at that it was too little and too late, a one time thing, and you can see when he gassed out

I didn't even watch him read the scorecards because I just had a feeling that they were going to give it to Davis but they made it a draw .... I guess I'll run this one back he has some more growing to do as a boxer this is what happens when you shelter a boxer until the age of 31 years old

It's kind of like once he couldn't bully people and he realized it he mentally wilted.

Someone disciplined who stood their ground he low-key had no backup plan that could ever happen.

Being on the other side of 30 with this ain't the best position either

Hes still really talented he can learn some new wrinkles but that low output wait for the other dude to do something retarded shyt needs to be deaded when u aint fighting a fighter who isnt disciplined.

Go back and watch most of his recent fights. Ryan was doing fine until he inexplicably threw the same fukking punch 4 times in a row. All we been saying is against shakur that type of shyt would just never happen and it would be interesting to see what his plan b is. We saw last night

Yeah he's far from dead and this ain't a eulogy but he needs some nuances added to his repertoire.

Thinking he's gonna blast someone out can work, but if you got high technical skills you gotta do more.

Sit and wait and I'll detonate can't be the only solution.

I'm not the biggest GGG fan but his footwork and attacks 10-14 HBO was exactly what Tank needs to be

The tank in there last night against Keyshawn probs gets ko’d. He needs to get his team right cuz they wasnt cornering shyt last night.

He got the skills and ability to be more active, but im wondering is his tank trash and thats why he fights in spurts. I wouldnt be shocked if grandpa loma circles the wagon because damn, his style would get Tank fits from what I saw last night. I wpuldnt be shocked if tank won tho but that fight got a lot more intriguing

His career was mismanaged in the senses that it was overly managed to coddle him ... This might be one of the greatest boxers that we'll ever see DECLINE before they peaked ... Just because he was never challenged when in his physical prime

Or ..... He gets started on that right now :ufdup:

I go on the contrary and say it was managed perfectly. He is a star star. Imagine if he actually did fight Loma years ago. He would be a less accomplished Broner.

His team did him a disservice because he used to be a far more active fighter its like his style has been reduced to beating on flat footed pressure fighters

I watched the full fight just now…damn. Tank lost pretty clearly…
He very clearly wasn’t the same after he got clocked in the 8th and stumbled. He didn’t really win a round after that and took a knee because he was likely concussed or just stunned from the previous round. Even without the knockdown they didnt count, that was a majority win for roach. Boxing is sadly so corrupt.

He has no idea what to do with a fighter that he can’t knockout.

Also, this doesn’t really say much for Shakur/tank fight. Shakur CAN NOT stay in the pocket like roach did. Roach laid a blueprint that’s very real, but he’s not the guy to follow it. He would get hurt. Roach hurt tank by taking a pretty nice punch. Davis doesn’t know what to do with someone he isn’t hurting.

I haven't was watched the fight, out the country but asni said before Keyshawm the only one seemingly who can crack the code.
