Four-time world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis and undefeated WBA super lightweight champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios took part in a media workout to kick off fight week at the College Football Hall of Fame in Altanta on Wednesday ahead of this Saturday’s PPV event.
Gervonta Davis: “There is no pressure on me, I am just going out there to do my job. It’s just another day at the job for me. Hopefully he’s ready because I’m definitely ready and we can give the fans what they want to see, which is a knockout.”
Mario Barrios: “Somehow, he’s still the favorite although he’s the challenger in this fight. I just take that as more motivation for me…height-wise, reach. Those are the major advantages. I’m just as dangerous as he is. And just as explosive and just as fast. And I will show that on fight night.”
If Tank lands on the inside, Barrios will be in trouble. Matter of fact, if that uppercut that Tank landed in his last fight, anyone will be out cold. Barrios does have somewhat of a chance here so let’s not count him out just yet.
I feel Tank knows sooner or later Barrios will have to eat a few uppercuts and taste the power. Barrios cant run all night.
Who says Tank brings the power up and. Who’s says Barrios will be running
He landed that on a lil guy. Damn. Wow. Y’all just take anything and run with it. ” If he landed that punch he landed on that 120 pound fighter”. Oooooohhhh man stfu
When Tank wins, he shouldn’t go up in weight anymore unless maximizing a payday is the goal. I don’t think he would be successful at that weight but he’d make a ton of money. He could go back down to 130-135 but lets be real those major fights aren’t happening. Nobody wants to fight Haney, Garcia is scared of credible fights (Haney / Lineres), Loma is trying to get himself back together, Lopez is still riding the Loma win and Tank is at least taking risks at high weights but the fights we want to see at lower weights aren’t materializing.
Hawn: True, the last thing the fans want to see is the LW’s acting like HW’s and avoiding each other.
Easy to do when there are so many weight classes to hide in.
Honestly I’m a little worried for Tank. Barrios is a much bigger guy. What happens when Tank’s power doesn’t go up 15 pounds with him. We have seen these fights before and it doesn’t always work out for the smaller guy so we shall see. I’d love Tank to win but I always abide by the old school saying that a good big man always beats a great small man. Lol Is that a saying?
Yes you are the only one who posted something that makes sense.
