I thought this was a case of water finding its level for Tank. I'm not in agreement with the Broner 2.0 stuff I see flying around but at 135, I'm just not seeing it here. He should be further along in his progression as a boxer than I saw today. Gamboa shouldn't have gone past 6
Tank is just a small guy with elite skills fighting in division his 5 3 body won't permit yet still he's able to dominate...no amount of training will help him grow or bigger guys to stop leaning on him

Funny thing is Gamboa made sure to say he got the injury before the knockdown, as opposed to the knockdown causing the injury. You know how these fighters are.



Yeah I've torn mines. It's impossible to walk without any sort of assistance after it occurs.
Are u a world class athlete

Floyd and Ellerbee need to get Tank a nutritionist and a strength coach because the shyt he's doing right now aint working
He needs no S'n'C trainers, he needs dedication, that's what's lacking, not the quality of training. The need for SnC trainers is debatable anyway. Oldschool boxing trainers did all that shyt themselves, and plenty of those fighters went 15 rounds without gassing much. They didn't need SnC guys which makes sense. If you are a qualified trainer, you should be able to work on a fighter's physical condition too, not purely on his technique. I don't know why nowadays every second fighter feels they have to add a fitness guru to their camp, if it would be so effective I'd already noticed it by seeing fighters having better stamina than back in the days but I see no such thing.

A nutritionist makes more sense cause that's less common knowledge for trainers, although I think a truly qualified trainer can handle that too.

It’s facts... Tank said Floyd was trying to punish him by giving him the fight N wanted him to lose to Pedraza

Floyd tried to get this nikka to train in Vegas N Facetime Favors Newzz N others were shytting on Floyd for trying to get him out the hood N focused... it was some real head scratcher shyt during that time


I remember that shyt:snoop:


Tank said Floyd was setting him up :mjlol:

And then Floyd tried to make Tank vs Loma:russ:

It is about time I was able to put my Showtime subscription to use. I wasn't upset with the Pascal and the Jack decision. Tank Davis has all the tools and access to be a complete fighter, but he's stubborn and unfocused with too many distractions.

Disagree.

Proper periodization alone can ensure that power, speed etc are trained accordingly so that they peak in proximity to a fight....that plus ongoing monitoring to ensure overtraining doesn't occur..
Theres just 2 examples that would benefit anyone in any sport....the more advanced an athlete is the more specialised their training should be. Actually making sure shyt like this happens is much more nuanced and requires special attention from someone who understands how to make it happen.

Marquez benefited from it ...ask :deadmanny:

Folks were literally just shytting on Lopez for his performance against Nakatani, now everyone back to riding his wave after the Commey fight. Tank had a shyt performance, but lets slow down on the sweeping generalizations until we see what he looks like his next time out.

But did you see that Nakatani fight breh? You can't compare a old and tiny Gamboa on one leg to a 6ft tall, rangy 30 year old undefeated title contender. That guy gave Lopez a firefight, and while he didn't look great, he won convincingly. The most concerning thing is the potential for Gervonta to regress because it's obvious his work ethic is the worst of all the top guys at 135. I saw Broners regression and I don't want the same to happen to him

Strength coach? fukk that..he needs to work on stamina and pacing....that's it.
Lol, did I need to spell out strength and conditioning coach? Go look up Larry Wade, Tank needs to link up with someone like that, they work on all of what you mentioned.
