Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis-Mario Barrios, Lubin-Rosario On Showtime PPV June 26; Site TBD

Don’t understand this fight. That said, it’s not a terrible fight .

it’s interesting to read the different opinions of a fight where a guy moves up.

Other fighters do this and they get praised for taking a risk. Tank does this, against a quality guy at 140 but not the top guy, and people immediately talk about who he isn’t fighting.

wish the same standards applied to everyone.

It is definitely a WTF decision fight/move. I don't see virtually any upside here outside of being able to say "Tank is a 3 division World Champion". Barrios means nothing to no one. Its unlikely we are gonna get a meaningful 140 beyond Regis after this fight & thats absolute best case cuz I don't think I'm in the minority of folks we don't see Tank vs the Taylor vs JCR winner happening next. And yea the most likely outcome is he goes back down to 135 after KOing Barrios.

Whatever doe. I like watching Tank fight, but this co-main of Lubin vs Rosario is gonna be the sh^t. 2 young guys trying to prove they belong at this level at 154 & I could see this going anyway it can go. Lubin shows up, Rosario shows up or they both fooking show up & we get some crazy ass fight were both prove they belong at this level in the 154 division.

Rosario is gonna KO Lublin in 6. My money will be on that!

It's odd to see people on here giving Tank crap for fighting Barrios but the same people complained he picked on smaller fighters. Make up your minds already or just say you dont like Tank. It's a risky fight and could very well be an all out war.

The prestigious WBA Regular title is main eventing a PPV



"Josh Taylor is widely viewed as the WBA’s legitimate champion in that weight class."

widely viewed? Who disagrees with that?

[Czarczar]

Should be a good fight, he is going up in weight. Barrios is the bigger taller guy.LSC was actually marking him up let's see what Barrios does. Will he have power at 140?

Translation: They hired the next diver for the pbc pretender fraud who will never fight Loma or Lopez or Garcia. Davis is a protected fraud handpicking shame. Mayweather's only asset who will never be allowed to lose.

PPV level fight not even close. Will they make money on the fight I guess so but it just dont prove anything for G.Davis as usual. The guy could have stayed focused on boxing and made some interesting fights along the way but he never has. Instead he goes the route of manufacturing a meaningless fight record too bad at one time I had thought he could have been in some good fights and even helped the fight game but not even close. Both fights belong on Showtime not PPV everybody knows that no matter how interesting the comain might sound and look so what. Ever notice how his arrest record and fight record are so similar really I mean that. He beat up a few woman and wrecked a few cars real criminal type there. And he had some nice few K.O.'s in the ring. He is really making a statement now, but not the kind he could have in the ring. Count the money, have a cheeseburger ...............Graduate to Eager Street.

Too raw. Lubin is going to piece this dude up like he did Gallimore, another power guy

Gervonta is 3 levels above Broner. Broner was average with no style at his best.

Not talking about boxing ability, I'm talking out of the ring things.

What does "PPV" level fight mean? There is no such thing as "PPV level" fight. You have two undisputed showdowns on non-PPV because they can't sell. Tank has a certain level of star power that he's going to be mainly a PPV fighter from this point on. You are not going to turn down 9-10M in PPV sales when you can get that every single fight with him. Until he catches a bad loss or his value goes down the drain, he's fighting on PPV period. Charlo vs Castano and Ramirez vs Taylor on paper are better match ups, but you put them on PPV and it doesn't matter what hardcore fans think, the PPVs would completely tank.

Hardcore fans matter very little when it comes to putting a fighter or fight on PPV or not.
