Ok, it's your opinion at the end of the day, explained it too, fair enough, I just disagree on multiple points
Imo:
It's a stretch to say Tank lost
Tank has some slick moves but gets tagged way too often to be called a defensive wizard, he seems to have a sturdy chin and doesn't lose his composure when getting hit.
Haney needs to work on his defense but imo he has a solid chin, it's not like he'd be floored left and right, more so that he doesn't like to get hit and he loses composure when getting hit clean, that's dangerous too and also look bad for the judges when you look like you could be hurt even if you are okay.
Only Cruz really raised his stock cause Tank was a big favorite and most expected Cruz to be knocked out in the first half of the fight. I always thought he's a good opponent but raised his stock nevertheless by winning 4-5 rounds against a big favorite. With that said I agree that Tank's stock hasn't dropped either
Diaz proved again that he's a quality fighter that gives a tough day in the office to most if not all 135ers but at the end of the day he lost by a margin most ppl expected him to lose.
People just be saying stupid shyt lol. Over blowing issac cruz cause tank struggled at times is hilariousHow?
Was a bigger favorite but struggled more than Haney.
What defensive wizard lmao, Tank is a gifted fighter, a defensive wizard he's not
. All i seen was a guy who gives a decent fight.

Not the biggest puncher but has volume for days, also a pretty tight defense.

Yea his defense is pretty tight. Tank really didn’t land on him too clean the crowd and the commentators was giving Tank extra credit for blocked punches…Tank just had the way better gas tank that was the deciding factor surprisingly.
I feel like Kambosos stock rose more. Cruz is who we thought he were just had a better chin. He got outboxed badly at times when tank decides to box.
Lost to a guy with one hand idk, tight defense nothing special to meCruz is a good fighter

Interesting how UK fans don't consider what Skeete Skeete Skeete 
did on Saturday running yet fans of Haney and Tank's opponents do

imo it’s still nice that he not only didn’t get knocked out but won 4-5 rounds as well. Tank’s hand injury didn’t change a whole lot on the fight either, it’s not like Cruz won all his rounds after round 6.
yeah it’s funny how Tank had the better stamina, he used to have a shytty stamina, even at 135 against Gamboa. I hear an interview a few days before the fight where Tank’s talking about him stopped drinking booze, only drink a little wine nowadays.
And it all makes sense cause I can definitely see his stamina improved and his speech got clearer, more articulate in the last few years. This latter can be due to media training too but not drinking too much definitely helps too.
Kambosos’ stock definitely rose the most, probably the most out of all boxers this year but I was only talking about the last weekend

As I said in the other reply it’s not like the injury was a sudden game changer, I mean it wasn’t like Cruz was blown out the water for 6 rounds where Tank fought with 2 healthy hands.
Would he knocked Cruz out with a good left hand in the second half? We’ll never know but Cruz did his part of the job well at least
