[Boxing]: Tank Davis vs Barrios - June 26

[Jating]

Davis has established himself as a powerful puncher in the superlightweight division he has the speed and power and he can wipe out all opposition on both lightweight and superlightweight division, not even Ryan Garcia and Haney can keep up with his power and speed, let us see now what's coming next for Davis, he is one the most exciting boxer to watch out now.

Josh Taylor and Teofimo Lopez if he decided to move up to 140 lbs would be a difficult match up for him.

Barrios is winning the first couple of rounds and maybe Tank Davis is trying to figure him out. Round 7 was critical because it was a 7-10 rounds that closes the gap for Davis. Barrios remain in composure even after that knock down. But one advantage of Davis is that he has a solid chin. And it round 11, the referee has seen enough. That body shot is perfect.

Whoever his next opponent will be, needs some great plan to counter both his speed and power punches. Strategy always wins if it is taken seriously but most of the time the surprise of how powerful your opponent will lose your focus and months of practice like what happened to Brandon Rios when he fought Manny Pacquiao, he cried and admit that they failed to execute their strategy when he caught with how the actual Manny Pacquiao inside the ring. that might probably happen on whoever will face Davis in his next fight.

Everyone who voted is very much sure of the outcome
Who will win this fight?
Davis   - 16 (100%)
Barrios   - 0 (0%)
Total Voters: 16

Even the crowds in the stadium are very much into Tank, the early rounds are dominated by Barrios, he is fighting intelligently, but like what Tyson once said and quoted many times, everyone has a plan after they get hit in the face, once Davis hit Barrios he becomes defensive and that's what Davis is waiting he is a predator when the opponent has become a prey, Davis again show how great he is.

Round 7 was really the game changer, I have Barrios up by round 6, as you have said he dominated the early rounds because of his height and reach advantage. However, when he was hit and not once but twice in the canvass, it was a 10-7 swing in favour of Davis. And then Tank smells his prey, putting combinations in the latter round. Barrios is a tough mofo, but Davis has the power in both hands. Interesting that Barrios got 0 votes, Lol, no one see an upset.

Wasn't Davis almost matched up against Garcia? What happened to that that now it's a different opponent for both sides. I don't know much about Barrios but given that Davis won this bout, I am pretty sure that a Garcia vs Davis match up was the one that we should've been given too. Hopefully in the near future, we might be able to get that.

Garcia was supposed to fight another boxer, unfortunately it was cancelled because he had admitted that he has mental problems to deal with first. Yes, there was so much talk about a Garcia vs Davis, but Davis has move up to 140 lbs. But if the money is right, he could go back down again and face Garcia in the future. And we are not yet sure if he will stay at this weight, maybe he was just testing himself.

I would not get my hopes up about seeing Davis against any of the top fighters. Floyd said they are going to keep it in-house and only fight PBC fighters. It would be a huge disappointment if we don't get to see Davis' full potential because his promoter's stubbornness. As exciting as it might be to watch him knock out overmatched opponents, wins against old man Gamboa and unknown Barrios do nothing to enhance his legacy.

Because Davis is the most contender on this bought ..

But then like what i always stand every fight in the ring , that each boxer has their own chance of winning because we are talking about punches that can drop of their faces and body that will result them losing.

Moving up means chances to have more good and quality fight right? which means more money for him and he's money maker team.

Hopefully the chance of seeing them inside the ring is still possible,

though just like what you have said if the money is indeed decent who knows it will arranged and make things possible for both fans and gamblers.

Didn't know the mental health part on Garcia so that's a new thing to me. Also, I don't think that it's not money that will motivate Davis, I think he was enthusiastic when Garcia announced that after a fight that he wants to fight some fighters including Davis.

But the problem is there's no money fight at 140 lbs, only Josh Taylor is the champion and he held all the belt. And I'm sure boxing fans are not familiar with him. So 135 lbs is a good option for Davis if he wants to look for bigger paychecks. We have Lopez, Garcia, Haney, all champions that have crafted their names in that weight class. So quality opponents and more money is in the 135 lbs right now.

Ok guys thanks for those who have replied and I hope that some of you won in this match.

Yes, there are a lot of options for Tank Davis both in the 135 and 140 lbs division. So for now I'm going to lock this thread and hopefully we can see Davis fight again in the future.
