Gervonta Davis v Yuriorkis Gamboa

[Ron Swanson]

Sounds like Davis had trouble making weight. Missed it the first time around but made it the next. It’s always weird to me when someone moves up in weight and misses weight or comes close to missing it. It’s like they think 5 pounds is a lot and they can eat a lot more food.

Also sounds like he created a riot on the stage by shoving Gamboa before Davis even weighed in. Haven’t seen the video of it yet though.

I still think that Tank wins pretty easily though. Gambia’s main chance is that he is still very athletic and is quick enough to maybe be able to counter with some pick punches.

It may seem like that but it is not necessarily that at all. Most fighters cut a significant amount of weight. Sometimes it comes off better than other times. He may have ate exactly right to be on weight for his cut and just had the cut go wrong.

He could have been overweight before the cut, just saying he may have done his diet exactly right and just f’d up the cut.

We will never know unless it’s competitive. If it’s a hard fight and he fades his weight was probably off. If it’s a hard fight and he finishes strong his weight was probably right.

Either way the dude needs to get away from Broner

I can get that. I was a wrestler for many years and understand that cutting weight is a science. You want to get right on weight. You don’t want to cut any more than needed. Maybe they miscalculated. At least he made it on the second attempt though.

I get the idea that getting away from Broner will help, but from what I’ve seen for the most part is that people keep a certain type of company. If it’s not Broner it will be someone like that. It’s kind of like the whole AA thing. One of the ways to fix your problem is completely revamp your friends from your old life. Unless Davis changes himself, he will continue to hang around with toxic people.

Yeah, and moving to Hotlanta doesn’t usually mean someone is maturing
