GERVONTA 'Tank' Davis' trainer Kenny Ellis showed that Tank had reached his weight 139.2 lbs With 55 days left until he defends his WBA lightweight title against Lamont Roach on March 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The lightweight division is full of heavyweight bullies, Boiled medium weight Who choose to fight in this weight class because they have tremendous advantages just by rehydrating. Tank believes in himself and doesn't need to use these tactics to win. there all Nest bullies weight At 135. The section needs hydration limits.
Tank discipline
With two months to go, Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) needs to lose just 4.2 pounds to reach the 135-pound limit for his fight against Roach (25-1-1, 10 KOs) on March 1. In this day and age, all the bullies who are a weight or two below their size are fighting.
Tank is old school and pure class, choosing to fight in the right division without trying tricky things to take advantage of fighting smaller players. He will drop down to featherweight at 126 or even 122 if he uses his size to destroy his smaller opponent.
Given Davis' size, he should fight at super heavyweight. This would put him in a position to challenge the Japanese star Naoya InoueWho holds all four belts in the 122-pound weight class. Inoue couldn't come up with an excuse for not fighting Tank if he was fighting in that division, which is where his small size should be given.
If Tank is already 139.2 pounds 55 days after March 1, he should be fighting at 122, not 135, which is where Inoue will be targeting. You can understand why Tank would choose to fight at 135, because it's easier to make weight, and he has more names to fight. At 122 years old, there's just Inoue and a bunch of mysterious nobodies that fans in the US have never heard of.
Roach is the same size as or larger than the tank. Although Roach's weight is increasing, he is about the size of a tank. So, the fan argument about tank fighting a smaller man is false. He and Roach are basically the same size.
