Mosley Predicts Punishing Fight For Tank Davis

Mosley Predicts Punishing Fight For Tank Davis Against Lomachenko Gervonta Davis vs Frank Martin Weigh-ins By KenWoods123 - 07/06/2024 - 48 Comments Shane Mosley predicts a punishing fight for Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in his potential unification clash against IBF lightweight champion Vasily Lomachenko later this year. The former three-division world champion Mosley says Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) will get hit a lot by Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs), and it won’t be as easy for him to land his big counter shots as it is against his past opposition. Lomachenko’s Age a Potential Factor Mosley feels that the 36-year-old Lomachenko’s age could make him vulnerable to getting caught by one of Tank’s big knockout blows, especially if Loma gets too confident from connecting with many of his punches early on. “I can see that Lomachenko is going to land a lot of shots on him, but I can also see Davis catch him with a counter left or some power shots because Lomachenko could leave himself open for something unexpected,” said Shane Mosley to Fight Hub TV, analyzing a potential fight between Gervonta Davis and Vasily Lomachenko in November. Frank Martin landed a lot of punches on Tank, marking his face up and causing swelling before getting knocked out with an uppercut in the eighth round on June 15th. Tank’s power bailed him out in that fight because it looked like he was approaching a loss.

That would be a huge let down for Tank and his fans, who view him as unbeatable. “[Lomachenko] landing a lot of shots could give him a lot of confidence, and that’s how Tank always knocks guys out when they come to him. It’s going to be a great fight. I would love to see Tank handle this,” said Mosley. If Lomachenko connects with many punches on Tank, he will be wary of getting caught with one of his counters. It’s no secret that Tank is always looking to land that one big shot, which puts him at a disadvantage against a cautious fighter like Lomachenko. “It’s going to be a difficult fight for Tank, and it could be a surprising fight for Lomachenko because he’s a little older. Maybe his timing is not the same, and Davis has the opportunity to catch him,” said Mosley. Tank will need to land hard enough shots to either knock Lomachenko down repeatedly or stop him if he wants to get the win. It won’t be enough for him to land one or two hard punches per round and expect to win a decision because he’s not going to outbox Lomachenko.

Loma and Tank are both slow starters. They both start opening up and increasing their workrate going into the middle rounds. The problem in that scenario is that Loma is an accumulation puncher and Tank is a one punch finisher who does best when his opponent is opening up. It gives him more opportunities to counter. Also, Loma has a tendency to fade going into the final rounds. Tank doesn't. He actually gets stronger all the way through the 12th. High probability that Loma gets stopped in this one - somewhere between rounds 10-12.

I believe when lomachenko feels the punching power of tank, it don't matter where he hit him at, he will be scared of that incoming, so that will slow down his input to 40%, The same way he did with telefimo,

Loma was made built and designed for a guy like Tank Davis. Davis is going to brutally end what's left of lomas career.
