    Good fight.

    I had Mario winning past halfway.

    Tank easy to hit.

    He still has the power in 140 but still feel robbed that the Lopez or Haney fight we’re not made.

    Haney is garbage.

    finger nails got a work out. three weight champion baby. tank needs to go back to lightweight
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Solid fight. really was impressed at his humility post fight interview.

    I can't recall too many champions stating they were nervous. He stated he didn't really follow the game plan at first because he was weary of a taller fighter and if his power would carry so he stated he was tentative. watching it I felt a chance he was being exposed, but hearing him state those word I give him the benefit of the doubt.

    And when asked about that hook- again he stated he didn't intend to use it that way. His corner told him it was there & follow up to the body. That is the true definition IMO of a fighter making adjustment based on their corner and executing it to perfection.

    Only then Tank stated he went full blast on the game plan.


    That and Floyd hollering to him- You are down on the unofficial scorecards.

    Not great, but good ebb n flow between Barios & Davis.


    I watched the uploaded vid -so I didnt see the entire fight.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    Davis showed he's one tough little fucker, took some heavy shots in there and dug deep.
    He's a threat to anyone with his power.
    Can he take it from the elite at the bigger weight?
    Still my favourite little fighter to watch.
    Every single fight there's fireworks.
    Great boxer 😎

    This fight turned out to be more entertaining than I expected.

    Barrios was taller and used his superior reach to win the early rounds but a lot of this was due to Davis looking for single big shots and not listening to his trainer who said target the body.

    Davis did well in the 5th round but was behind by the 8th round when he knocked down Barrios twice with a southpaw right hook and then again with his big left hand counter.

    Davis then took over the fight and ended it with a brutal body shot in the 11th knocking Barrios down and referee stopped it moments later with Davis landing a further barrage of punches.

    Officially Davis was ahead of all 3 judges which makes me suspect they were going to give him the decision regardless of what happened in the fight.

    Davis did not look impressive at the weight and would lose to the top fighters.

    Floyd was trying to be the centre of attention again and undermined Davis trainer.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Check out the post interview if you haven't already. he stated he didnt follow his corner- again he said he wasn't sure what he was dealing with early on.

    Then a bit of the arrogant one came out & said "Had I knew he was soft early on"..LOL then he stepped it up later on. Looks funny watching a small guy stalk the taller fighter.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
