Rumored Tank vs Lomachenko 2025 PPV’

Tanks strategy of watching and making reads for the first half of the fight won't work against loma. I got loma by ez decision.

i said it's not illegal in that specific circumstance. you said it was. i said no one would ever enforce it under that circumstance and you posted an example proving me right. now you're mad.

refs do not enforce low blows when one fighter is pushing the others' head down toward the waist. always been that way and always will be no matter how much you cry about it.

If the ref gives a warning, it means it’s illegal. Come on now. No referee would give a warning for something that’s legal.

A warning literally means “What you’re doing is illegal so stop doing it or I’ll take a point”. If the fighter keeps doing it after being warned, points will be taken.

kenny bayless saying "keep it clean" is not the situation you're talking about here.

for what it's worth, canelo's low blow there is 100% intentional as well. he's looking to take advantage of the fact that refs don't punish low blows in that scenario.
 
The legality of low blows isn’t gonna decide the outcome of this fight. Ability to adjust and read the opponent are. If those are equal then power will decide. But this is actually a pretty close fight imo. I think Loma actually edges the boxing dept, but power and maybe speed are Tanks advantages.

Loma needs to benefit from a combo of taking what he can get with punch selection risk/reward and also treating every round like round 12 and everything’s riding on it. He can’t wait this time.

Tank needs to prove Lomas movement and overwhelming style aren’t going to freeze him up when Loma turns it on. Tank can’t look for the perfect shot either because he’s gonna have a hard time finding it. Tbh, Tanks the one I think who’s gonna have to look for the solution in this one. It wouldn’t surprise me if he were down several rounds come the halfway point.

He didn’t just say “Keep it clean” though, he pushed Canelo away, walked towards him with the index finger pointed towards his face while shouting at him to keep it clean. That’s a warning.

Also, “Keep it clean” means what Canelo did was dirty, that it was a foul. When referees say they want a clean fight, it means they want the fighters to obey the rules, not break them.

No referee would separate the fighters, push one of them away, point the finger at him and tell him to keep it clean if said fighter didn’t do anything illegal at all. I’ve never seen it happen.
 
Tank will continue to duck loma like Canelo ducked a prime GGG. Maybe he’ll take this fight in two years.

and bayless knew mayweather was pushing canelo's head down so there was nothing he could really do. despite it being 100% intentional.

just because you keep repeating it doesn't make it true.

it's illegal under every and all circumstances. there is no rule in boxing that says "no low blows, except when the guy leans on you". you're just making shit up to support your idiotic view here.

You're both right. A low blow is always illegal BUT a ref is not going to penalize a fighter for fouling when he's being fouled. Refs often point out that a shot was low because the guy that got hit low was pushing down on his opponent.
 
Wow. Great fight.

I think Tank will be too big, and will end up hurting Loma mid to late. He may very well pick up a stoppage.



But...... that's what I figured would happen when Bud Crawford fought Errol Spence, so you know I'll be watching the shit out of this one.

a giant difference from 135, surely. if loma weighs in at 134.8 is it still a lightweight fight?

If Loma weighed in at 134.8 lbs then yeah that's still a lightweight bout. Tank fighting Ryan at a 136 catchweight was technically a junior welterweight fight. This isn't difficult to grasp.
