[Baofeng]

This fight might have been fly under the radar for some of us here.

And we thought that Davis vs Loma is being talk behind curtain as per Bob Arum months ago. Maybe the negotiation fell apart or either one backs out of that big fight. Nevertheless, we will see Tank again in the ring. Or even Shakur Stevenson for that matter as they have been calling each other for the longest time.

If you look at several boxing forums though, as almost everyone hates to see this fight. Perhaps it was due to Lamont Roach not known for casual boxing fans and we can't blame them for that.

Initially, Roach is a 8:1 underdog.

Is Gervonta now cherry picking opponent? he should have Loma or a rematch against Garcia or any worthy opponent to establish his legacy, Lamont is good but lacks the power and skills to beat Gervonta, Lamont is a heavy underdog here, he will just make Gevonta look good and he will score a knockout here, just like what Gervonta did to Martin.

Seems to me that he is being protected and they don't want Davis to lose because for sure his purse price might go down. Loma is the next fight that he should be really looking, but base on the news, Loma wanted to take the rest of the year.

Yeah, I forget to mentioned that Lamont Roach is a 130 lbs, so he is moving up in weight. And most of the time, average fighters can't bring their power when they move up, so just like the rest, I think Davis by knockout win again.

I haven’t seen a fight involving Lamont Roach yet, but based on the odds set by the sportsbooks, I believe Tank Davis is a sure winner. It seems like just another day at the office for him. With Lamont Roach’s KO percentage below 50%, I think Tank will easily overpower him and won’t respect his power.

We don't want to used the term sure winner but yes, I do agree that the chance of Davis to win here is huge as per the odds. It's just a matter of which round Lamont is going down here as I'm seeing and I think everyone will agree that this could be another knockout win for Tank Davis. But this is a cherry pick fight for him obviously, as Lamont is a 130 lbs as what we have seen. Next year though, this kind of fight for Tank should not be happening, he used at least pick his own size of fighter at 135 lbs or even a Loma fight is Loma is willing to fight again next year.

it would be profitable to just bet on which round Roach will fall. this is how Tank is sure to win though even for the non boxing fan, they know Tank is just cherry picking as its like he forget this man in the 130 so he just look back and pointed he wants to fight Roach this time.

he could have chosen Shakur or Loma but maybe this is cherry picking to finally meet the weight of Inoue to fight in 126 lbs. bigger fight than him fighting Loma or Shakur. or catch weight fight between Tank and Inoue.

As far as I know, Shakur is injured, he is supposedly had another fight but he has to withdraw because of the said injury. And Loma is getting older and could prefer to rest the majority of the year.

We still have to wait about more listing on this fight, but I think the KO odds might not be that big. And speaking of Inoue, next year he will be getting into 126 division. And it will be just 2 weight class from Tank Davis, and who knows, this proverbial fight can happen in the future, hehehe.

nothing left to present from boxing. but the popular KO artists and are willing fighters to fight as long as there is also money. the rest are just sitting on their ranks and looks for funding for  fight to happen. and if there is no funds, they just sit back again.

its just unsure of the Arabs will support Inoue and Tank since those guys only likes watching big guys throwing punches.
but the Japanese will be watching small featherweight guys knocking each other. and they are both exciting, it will be worth watching regardless of how much the tickets will be. the people will sacrifice not eating the best meals just so they could pay Tank vs Inoue ticket.

You’re right; Arab audiences might prefer watching boxing in the heavier divisions, so bantamweight might not be as popular. If Tank Davis were to face an opponent like Terence Crawford, it’s likely that HE Turki would promote the fight, but only if both fighters agree to his terms. Japanese fight fans, on the other hand, are accustomed to seeing smaller fighters, which is why we enjoy those matches.

There's a chance that either Loma or Tank decided to withdraw from the fight. I don't know, but I have a feeling that it's Loma who withdrew from the negotiation. Correct with this one, but I think Garcia is banned already. Nevertheless, I don't think that Garcia will fight him either because he just got demolished when they fought with each other.

Lamont? Who?? As for cherry-picking, I don't think that it is the case, and I'm leaning towards the fact that nobody wants to face him... at least that's what I see. Nevertheless, this is an easy fight for him that's for sure.

I'm sure the Arabs already knows what these two boxers can do in the ring. but its up fopr Inoue to go up and make his intention clear to fight Tank. Tank will not go down just to fight Inoue; its possible that the two fighters will meet in the future; they are at the height of their careers, and they can catch weight if they decide they want each other.

Bookies should release the specials already because there's no way anyone would bet on Tank @1.05 I'm waiting for the odds on how many rounds it would take him to finish the fight. It should go past 6 rounds or at least that's what I was hoping for.

The fight is still far so expect that bookies will just released the ML odds for this fight as of now. Other market/options will be released once the fight get nearer. If there is an option for "over 6.5 rounds" then i think i would go for that option.

Yes, Lamont might want to extend this fight as long as he can. Maybe he will really play good defense in the first 5 rounds. Although Tank Davis, has a good IQ, sometimes it take him around round 5 to figure his opponent and then adjust before securing a knockout win.

So let's see what will be the bookies odds for the over 6.5 round. Maybe it will be around 1.8 or higher, and if so, then it's really a good odd for us bettors as the ML doesn't attract us a bit.

I haven't check Stake or Sportsbet or our local bookies mate.

Yes, at 1.05 there is no value on that bet, might be better to skip it totally and look for more fights that is not as lopsided as this one.

So let's wait for the odds, it might be more appealing for that over 6.5 as they are not expecting Roach to last that long against the power of Tank Davis.
