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.

At this point we've seen tank get rocked more than Shakur :hubie: ....I've always said that Shakur can hurt tank and I stand by it. Whenever tank gets hit on the button he doesn't take it well.

Shakur can’t stay in there with him. Maybe you’ve seen something I haven’t. Shakur is gonna bottle up getting touched with some of that Lamont took and walked through.
I haven't was watched the fight, out the country but asni said before Keyshawm the only one seemingly who can crack the code.
He’s the guy. Don’t know if he’s patient enough though. Roach has to get a lot of credit for this, and should appeal this.

Yeah that's the thing is falling in the trap. Lotta actual fighters said Lamont is good as hell, only folks trashing him are nikkas that hate tank, and even when he showsnje is legit folks down playing him.to say tank a bum. That's a slap in the face to Lamont and the work his team put in.

Same hoe ass nikkas will tell you triangle theory is casual shyt yet use it to bring up Jamel herring and Shakur (indirectly discrediting herring and by proxy shakur)

Shakur has a considerably better inside game than Tank. why cant he stay in there, Ive never seen Shakur visibly hurt and he doesnt really ever get with anything shocking. Unless you saying he has no chin which who knows, its never gotten tested you may be right

No chin, no I wouldn’t say that. But I think roach has an unusually strong chin. Like Bivol kinda. I’d be surprised if Shakur can do that. Don’t doubt him though, davis isn’t unbeatable like I personally thought.

The assumption with Shakur was with them brittle hands Tank would just say eff it, being that we saw him take shots from likes of Ryan and not be too bothered.

I won't discredit Lamont but tank talking all that retirement shyt shows lack of focus. Retirement isn't something you play with I'm a sport as unforgiving as boxing. If your heart ain't in it call it quits and move on. If my openent is in a presser with me talking retirement I'm thinking to myself "yeah I'm killing this nikka"

Agreed but you have the flip side of the coin where Shakur fights scary against anyone with any semblance of power. We've seen that at least 3 times that I can think of.

There's been reluctance on both sides if we really wanna keep it 100


How has there has been reluctance from Shakur to fight Tank?

Explain in detail

Money is good. But I'm sure Spence would rather have his reputation and legacy in tact. You're only as good as your last performance, right? Ain't that what you jerkoffs say? nikka went from elite to the butt of every joke in the boxing world in a matter of ONE fight after you nikkas flipped the script and decided to not rock with him anymore because he took an L after crying for years about the nikka not giving us the fight we wanted.

You a Shakur fan today. But guarantee if Shakur ever takes an L or goes to a draw, yall gonna turn on him, too. Watch. Bookmark this post. Yall nikkas fake asf and phony baloney. Keyshawn, too. Abdullah. Curmel. None of these nikkas exempt.

Watch.

Lemme get this right. You saying Spence, for the sake of keeping his legacy intact would have rather NOT fight Bud? He probably laughs at hearing this kind of dikkeating from his own fans.:heh:

Shakur doesn’t need Roach’s blueprint. He is much harder to hit. This has always been known. He is rangier. He is a better body puncher. He isn’t going to stand inside and bang but even if he did I wouldnt be in such fear. The shyt Tank be knocking guys out with is going to be hard to clip Shakur with. Keyshawn still gets reckless so Tank has a chance to catch in with some shyt but he’d be in jeopardy of getting ktfo.

I really dgaf who people think won or lost and I really don’t care about the “knockdown”

I just knew Tank wasn’t going to walk through Roach but I have to say I thought Tank would increase activity each round, put a beating on Roach, and win going away. So in that regard I was wrong. Roach gave as good as he got and Tank didn’t want it.

Yall gotta step you boxing knowledge up though. Roach and Tank been fighting just as long. Roach is as accomplished as Tank as an amateur and pro he just doesn’t have the name. What makes you think Tank is on another level than Roach to begin with? He can be a better fighter but he isn’t on another level than these guys. Every now and then you will have a b or c level guy win a title but most of these guys are champ for a damn good reason.

I said before the fight Roach is bigger, stronger, with solid punch and solid speed and defense. I said out of all the guys that Tank ko’d in past few years Roach had best chance to go the distance and had a better chance to win than people gave him credit for. I didn’t expect Tank output to be so low or I would’ve picked Roach to win.
Why? He's not a volume puncher. If you expect those things to trouble Tank his low output shouldn't be a surprise.

He prefers to set his punches and capitalise on the openings. When those openings aren't there, he looks gunshy.

Barely touching the canvas is one thing
refs miss that from time to tine
Tank took a voluntairly knee and da ref never took a point away lol
I dont recall that ever happening in boxing history
A nikka never got his hair done 2 days before a fight while using edge control either
