GD got atg power

Post by Jip »

:bag: :OhYes:

Rarly have i seen a guy in smaller division with such ferocious power. When starts with those wild hooks and touches you it's close to being over.

I dont care what anybody says and yes he is green but tank should face the king asap!!! :bag:

Just said on another thread that I'd love to see him and Loma ASAP. You need to strike while the iron is hot in this game. It doesn't need to wait it's a fantastic fight right now.

Exactly.

Also i love rematches or triologys. Barrera-Morales, Hearns-Leonard.

I prefer top boxers often fighting each other. Than the top guys fighting some c level crap. Davis, even if he loses right now could give loma mayor ptoblems in a second fight 1 or 2 years from now. But tank has a chance, this boy goit serious power.

How is Davis to face Lomo will end his career before it evens starts. Get couple of better wins and then maybe go at Lomo.

Davis did look good, but aligning him with anything "ATG" is a bit premature.

This is not the first time a FW fighter built a seemingly good record before coming unstuck when an elite level fighter arrived (Cleverley Kovalev springs to mind).

Davis may well go on to be a fabulous world champion, but drawing "ATG" conclusions from this alone is a bit much.

That was not "atg power" type stuff yesterday. That was more like clubbing a baby seal to death.

Beltran displayed impressive power last night.

GTank is good and he has decent club. He has top level quickness but his skills aren't there yet, and may never be at a level that could give Lomassiah trouble.

I have to say that (after watching it twice) Walsh's boxing level was revealed more than GTank's. Liam was out of his depth, by fathoms. GTank had no respect for him at all.

On B&I rbr a few people had the first two rounds close and saw little difference in levels going into the third. I honestly think that GTank could have disposed of Walsh at will.

However, if GTank fought Lomassiah next the result would likely resemble the Hitman Jr v Felix Diaz massacre last night.

Davis can hit :box: but ATG power is a bit soon as yet

Good talent though & good puncher but not ATG yet by any means

Loma takes him to school. A better fight is Davis/Russell Jr

Ya, I noticed that people on the RBR thread were describing it as if it was being contested on even terms, but I thought it was apparent fairly quickly that it was Davis's fight. Walsh is an okay fighter, but never better than EBU level for me...

Davis has an excellent combo of speed and power, but the skills aren't as advanced. I think a masterful boxer like Loma would exploit that, but the raw talent may well be enough to beat everyone else at 130.

Yeah I was saying the same thing. A few people are talking about seeing Davis move up to Lightweight, but he needs to stay at 130 for as long as he possibly can because he's small even for that weight class. There's absolutely no way he'd be able to handle the size difference beyond Lightweight, and even Lightweight might be too much.

He could make feather without any trouble. Aaron Pryor type situation.

Supposedly he needed to weigh in 3 times to make 130 yesterday, looking at him I have a hard time believing he can't make 130 with ease, he's very young maybe he just still hasn't mastered making weight right on just yet.

That was just different calibration on scales. It was 2 ounces.

Cleverly was never any good... Never had any power. Never had any technique... He was another Hilmer Kenty... another John Stracey... another Paul Pender

Davis is actually good... He's going to be around for a long, long time -- unfortunately, because he's going to be ducking around like crazy.

I don't think that he is undersized for super feather. He is about Pac's size, and most of the players at 130. He would have to be special to move up though.

If he's not smaller, Walsh is massive.

I didn't see the same massive size difference. Height, yes, but I thought GTank looked more burley, muscular, and his reach seemed about equal. But, who knows?

Naseem Hamed? Diego Corrales? Arguello? De La Hoya? Just off the top of my head of the type of punchers who fought and won titles at 130 or below.

I'd say he isn't that much smaller than Lomachenko if that.
