The DQ can definitely happen.. cornermen are not suppose to go in the ring or ring apron unless an official tells them too or its the end of the round

i remember carlos molina got DQ'ed for that shyt against kirkland
yea it's so rare i was trying think of times it happened. Roger Mayweather did it when Zab hit Floyd with a low blow and rabbit punch and nothing happened there despite it resulting in a full on melee

Tank has no left hand cross.

That is what i saw.
.the power left cross was there the whole fight.

Tank does not have a power cross and is flawed with his left hand.
What I saw was Tank is not a natural southpaw. Nor is Tank ambidextrous.

That is what I saw.
I also saw someone who became pro. Yet never actually ramped. To dominate former rivals.

Which is tell tale.
It was like watching andre agassi versus someone like krickstein from bolleteri.






Hopefully Tank does not have a jim courier like rival from his past.

When courier got a taste.




After courier had a taste.








Or that rival would send Tank to the netherzone. Like courier did my boy andre agassi. Till andre refigured out the puzzle.






Before courier lost strength in his forehand.
to neutralize and normalize his dominance.

I don't believe any young amateur rival of Tank is courier level nemesis. If it was. We would have seen Tank.
have to showcase if he was a champion or not. Luckily Tank won titles already. If Tank had not won titles already and suffered this type of loss. In another junior ranked sport like tennis. Tank would have spiraled and had to face adversity. I am not sure Tank could comeback from.


Unless Tank re-invested and found a trainer.
like andre did with Brad Gilbert. Yet if Tank did have a courier junior nemesis turn pro. Plus Tank lost by ko.
to a courier level junior amateur rampup nemesis turned pro. We would have been watching.
a redemption story. That andre agassi almost never had. Till andre humbled himself and clicked up with John mcenroe.



To then triumph . To finally win a major



Coupled with boxing.
not being at all inviting like tennis. Plus Tank already is into it with Mayweather.

I don't see Tank recovering. To win the big one and humble himself like andre did to courier at davis cup.


To re-ramp and then
re-dominate.



Plus given locale and what happened from andre's drug use. If Tank would have lost. Being from bmore. A whole new can of worms. Would have been opened. That i don't think tank recovers. Plus has no bridges left to rekindle what was lost.

Being black with a lack of resources. Tank is lucky to have enough sway to get the decision. Plus boxing is a shoot. So it has a time limit and distance. If this was tennis. Then Tank would have lost to an old rival like that. Not sure Tank recovers. Given Tank has no vet pedigreed boxer support group, left to lean on. Like andre agassi used and had.
to come back and dominate.

As losing to a former junior rival.

In sports where there were rankings and titles. Plus, loss is final in those environments. Tank really dodged a bullet. From his sway and draw the other night.

I remember Mayweather v Zab all those people jumping in the ring. Such a crazy situation and big fight I can see why a DQ wasn't called, but yeah rules are you can't just get help from the corner like that. Spit your mouth piece out, complain to the ref, THEN use that time to get eye checked or whatever. Slipped up like when Errol was looking down at his mouth piece against Ugas lol.

Tank had a call out planned post fight. That tells me all I need to know about his mind state heading into the fight. He basically wasn’t focused.
