Tank telegraphed this move for months
Gotta feel sorry for roach here. Robbed of a knockdown, probably robbed of a major upset win, and then robbed of the rematch
Sad what Tank has become. With Turki out there he could have got top dollar for fighting the bouts we all wanted, but he took the easy way out for a bag. shyt won’t even count for anything, literally a fake ass fight in his prime at age 30 when tank should be having legacy defining fights
Is he really scared of rematching Roach? lol that's sad
I don't care what anyone says
People can frame it as "Oh Tank just lost his passion". What really happened was that the Lamont Roach fight spooked him. To get a "Draw" (which was really a clear loss on his record) against Roach made him scared that his money train with Boxing could come to an end. It was almost like the Wizard of Oz moment when you saw the Wizard behind the curtain. Roach exposed all of Tank's flaws in the ring, and gave everyone game tape on how to attack him
Can you imagine if he lost twice in a row against Roach in a rematch against a guy who he was HIGHLY favored to win against? All that future money potential goes down the drain. This is the main reason why he ducked the rematch and now going full throttle into being a non-serious Youtube Boxer
This would be accurate if Tank literally didn’t plan on calling out Jake Paul in the post fight interview of the Lamont Roach fight.
Unfortunately, fighting Jake Paul was always the plan.
In most other sports the best vs best kind of matchups happen at least annually or more often. Boxing is different for multiple reasons but one of these is the blatant disrespect of the sport’s fans with fights like this and a lot of other shaenigans.How do yall sustain being boxing fans? All yall do is bytch about who fights who, when they fight them, what was their weight, was it on a full moon during a solstice?
Like God damn
Tank has been this way for literally nearly 10 years. Dude was shook to death to even whisper Lomachenkos name up until last year. Dude has literally never cared about "legacy" (which there's nothing wrong with tbh); but it's the reason he shouldn't be on the p4p list or go to hof if he retires after this.
It's a exhibition, not a real fight.How does this even get sanctioned?
