PLUS IT WASNT TANK WITH THE REHYDRATION CLAUSE. STEPHEN A DNT WATCH NO DANG BOXING @ ALL

That seems to be happening a lot. I know Davis wants to keep his skills sharp…but Ryan should have fought Isaac Cruz waaaaaaaay before getting a shot at Tank Davis who is the BEST at that weight. Frank Martin should now fight Rolly Romero to see how far he has dropped. Then make his way back up. Next fight should be Ryan Garcia and Isaac Cruz. THEN the winner fights Devon Haney for the belts. Now Lomo and Kambosa should fight and then the winner gets the looser of Ryan Garcia and Isaac Cruz!

So glad he stopped her nonsense about her boxing when not 1 person watching cares about her boxing (well maybe two people, her mama and whoever she is involved with)! It was semi disrespectful to throw her info in the midst of them discussing Tank, but I’m glad Stephen shut that nonsense down!

Just because people like Frank Martin doesnt mean it's because of Errol. Frank can really fight and he showed that in this fight, it's just Tank is a GENERATIONAL talent. Frank just started boxing 10 years ago. It's going to take a DOG with a lot of experience to beat somebody as skilled and naturally gifted as Tank, and even then it probably won't be enough
