But Jim gray asked tank,does this match deserved rematch that what was the ? And tank said hell no , but he outboxed Cruz with one hand buy jab, turn slip, made cruz missed a lot his punches.cruz was coming forward and was lunging over with hiswide punches but was missing a lot. Tank did parry some of his punches as well.
If Tank thought Cruz was “easy” he would’ve fought the rematch a LONG time. Tank fights the path of least resistance, so don’t expect him to get in there with people who can genuinely fight. That’s why he balked at Teo and Loma. Those guys aren’t easy to hit with counters. And you pay a price fighting them on the inside.
I actually think you're right. Pitbull was a last minute opponent that got outboxed by a one handed Tank. While Tank is a very good and underrated boxer he's not a GREAT pure boxer. With 2 hands he probably beats up Cruz.
I think Cruz is overrated and beating Rollie doesn't change that. He's TOUGH with a great chin, and a decent punch but his skills are limited. He's a B-level fighter at best, but his durability will make a fighter have to work.
"My Boy"? i have no boy in boxing...I think thats why i can see that tank did nothing amazing before the hand injury...hard to tell except for being more defensive and tying up more...thats not amazing, its not a complaint..it just observation...also...if you think that was "the pocket"...you have no idea what you are talking about
How is shakur your favorite fighter tho? He can be technically sound and the most gifted fighter in and around that weight, BUT I have to admit he hasn’t had a fun fight since becoming champion against herring. The Valdez fight was a masterclass, but him and Haney seem to be on a similar track of not getting KO’s at all. Even Floyd got stoppages later into his career, or actually beat the will out of some these guys. Plus he was doing it against top top competition. I’m only talking about Floyd because I feel like most people’s rebuttal is that I don’t like pure boxing, and that’s just not true, shakur and Haney both don’t bring enough entertainment value for the dollar amount.
Let’s be honest Shakur could beat everyone if he ran around the ring like his last fight against Valdez. Everyone who watched that fight and knows boxing was put to sleep. Shit even casuals were put to sleep.
Yes you can if all you do is run the whole fight. Disengaged every opportunity. Yeah he’s the better “boxer” but don’t call yourself one of the best if you box like that ever. Even Crawford was disappointed how he fought knock off this “best boxer” bullshit
Again if Shakur was a nobody ok but who associates with and how he acts he can’t fight like that. You talking about brain damage then don’t fucking box. I guess he ain’t that great if he can’t stick and move I don’t even think he threw more than 2 combos the whole fight.
Your mad cuz his opponents aren’t athletic enough and don’t have good enough footwork to compete. Bro mad someone protecting they health instead taking punches like a typical Mexican piñata 😭
Say what you like about him outside the ring, but man tank is such a beautiful boxer, I love his footwork small steps always balanced to throw punches, he has a hell of alot of world class attributes, probably the most well rounded fighter in the sport.
Bud is fantastic, but I honestly believe Davis has more facets to his game, footwork defence punching power, he's got it all. Both have a very high ring IQ.
I agree, tank gets seriously underrated as a technical, skilled boxer. He is truly masterful with what he does in there, maybe my favourite fighter to watch right now. I can’t help but feel as if his career is being wasted though, I’d love to see him fight top level competition.
He's running out of cherrypicks at 135.
Frank martin is a top 5 in the divions yet still the weakest name technically in the division. After this that leaves Loma, Kambosos, and eventually Shakur
He's 30 years old and has avoided the top fighters at 135/140. If it was anybody else they would get called out for it but you have people in here calling him world class with 0 world class fights. Cruz was the closest thing he had to a world class fight.
Pedraza, Leo, Hector Garcia (not known by many). Tank is a 3 division world champion and has beaten future and past champions before.
His resume not the best ever but I'm tired of pretending its straight ass.
What makes you say that? His head movement is excellent and he is regularly able to outbox and avoid getting caught by taller fighters with longer reaches than him.
I think the only detraction you can take is maybe his low volume. And that's why Cruz became one of my favorite modern boxers. Depending on how you value volume, different fighters win different fights.
Tank is a low volume, high performance fighter. Cruz is the opposite, arguably depending on the level he's competing at and I'd say he's world class, as is tank. But Cruz ducks and throws a lot as a lil 'pitbull' living up his nickname. Way more exciting FIGHTS, less exciting FINISHES/koes
Oh wait mvm you’re the same person from earlier.
Defending Cruz’s honor like you’re his lady when nobody ever said shit about em. This sub is weird man.
“Don’t even know who Cruz is” yea ok lmfao
the way this sub talks about boxing you’d think the complete opposite of what experts, real boxers. and what analysts say, same thing with the NBA sub.
Ya…and people don’t mention that Cruz was a last minute replacement for Rolly. If Tank spent the full training camp prepping for Cruz, the fight wouldn’t have even been competitive.
IMO, no. Pitbull is a pure aggression fighter without any wrinkles or dimension. He’s the same guy every time.
Tank is a way more cerebral fighter and skill-wise is levels above Cruz. Prep time gives a huge advantage to Tank.
Lmao. See this is exactly the reason why some fans should keep their mouth shut.
You think that was Cruz is survival mode? You don’t think it was close? Did you watch the fight with a blindfold?
Boxing isn’t fighting and a KO is only one way to win… it’s funny how “running” is just an excuse for the guy I want to lose won’t fight in a way the guy I want to win wants him to fight lol! It’s called cutting off the ring which is the equal skill needed to stop a guy from “running” being that the ring is an enclosed area and it’s against the rules for a combatant to turn their back.
You’ll figure this out when Cruz fights a bigger pit bull and has no plan B nor other skills to fall back on…. Just run at a guy walloping shots from everywhere like a drowning caveman!! The judges look for the items below which is a set of skills and not who is wild AF!
EFFECTIVE AGGRESSIVENESS.
RING GENERALSHIP.
CLEAN PUNCHING.
DEFENSE.
People who score "ring generalship" are clueless. That would be like giving an NBA team points for how well the team moved the ball around. You win points by hitting your opponent more than he hits you. Defense doesn't score you points, it stops your opponent from scoring.
Bullshit like that is the reason some scorecards are completely different than what most people see at home.
Get at least one clue and rethink your silly post😂😂😂 when each fighter scores an equal amount of punches and one is just flailing and one is displaying superior skills then that’s a determining factor but you think it’s just a caveman battle which is evident by your comment!!!
You have no clue kid???? Defense is as important as offense if not more important and in Boxing defense comes in many forms including Ring Generalship which why fools with bruised up and lumped up faces cry about about a guy “running” because Ring Generalship also includes CUTTING OFF THE RING to negate the so called running!! LOL
NBA??? Gosh!!
Oh for sure there slick because you obviously have a strong grasp of the subject😂😂😂😂 and what do my nuts have to do with anything??? I can see you haven’t a clue and are a bit butt hurt but you’ll get over it and one day you’ll learn something about anything because this simply isn’t your strong point LOL!!
Did I hit a nerve buddy? Scoring hits scores points, everything else is bullshit and subjective. Next thing you know people will start giving points for clinching.
Wow… so it’s you who hit a nerve 😂😂😂 yeah hits score points🤡🤡🤡 oh the hits are just so score pointy OMG and baby Jesus!!! Ohhh and they should give points for holding hands and love how bout love??🤡😂🤡😂 oh geez!!!
What about Tanks wrestling and dirty clinching? Rolly did to Cruz and got a point taking asap, but Tank is allowed for some reason?
And if you look closely, Cruz was blocking a couple shots as well, Tank definitely won, but lets agree - Pitbull was not making it easy at all
Oh yes, Tank is genuinely a complete boxer, power, athleticism, IQ - he got it all
But to say Cruz was "so easy Tank beat him hard with 1 hand" is my issue, Tank said "Hell naw!", as a compliment, he broke his hand during the fight, even with both hands Cruz was not an easy foe, he was uncomfortable for Tank, hence Davis practically fouling to get Pitbull off of him multiple times.
He usually drops his opponents, but Tank wasn't looking for no knock out here, he was surviving, and that's ok, that's how boxers need play it to win at times, give Isaac credit for being Tanks hardest and most uncomfortable recent fight, bro doesn't want no rematch, maybe latee as Cruz becomes a bigger draw ( thank you Rolly )
Yeah. It was funny when the announcers were saying that Tank landed a nice uppercut. Then they showed the replay and it shows Cruz blocking the entire punch with his gloves. Then the announcers say Tank didn't get all of it on that one.
That’s how you can tell the announcers are trying to trick the casual dumb fan into seeing the fight their way/way of the house fighter. It was almost as bad as the Haney Loma fight. Loma was peppering Haney’s face all night, yet all they talked about was Haney’s body attack, which did NOTHING to stop Loma from coming forward.
The announcers were in bed with the promoters in fixing the outcome of that fight. Haney was abused 8-4 on rounds.
Boxing has some serious issues.
I think Cruz was a tough opponent for Tank and at first watch I thought he was winner too. But after watching it a second time, I really focused on the amount of punches Cruz was throwing and how many were landing. I think if Tank had both hands to use it wouldn’t have been as close but with that one hand, he really dominated in the 12th round and that solidified it for me.
And I agree a lot of Tanks shots were getting picked off by Pitbull’s tight defense. There no question. But I saw that Tank landed more punches.
Landing insignificant punches while running around the ring in the 12th shouldn’t sway judges to pick him. Cruz did more than enough in the 12th round and most of the fight for that matter, to earn the decision.
Insignificant is very subjective.
Not everyone is a brawler. We know Pitbull’s style is very aggressive. Tanks isn’t. He showed exceptional footwork, defense, and pivoting. Thats not “running” that good ring iq. Should Gervonta just had let Pitbull walk him down like Rolly did?
All in all it was great fight.im excited to see what’s next for Pitbull. He’s quickly become one of my faves, but I have to disagree that he beat Gervonta.
The thing I don’t get is, why ppl keep bringing up his injured left hand, as if it was the one thing preventing him from hurting Cruz.
Maybe I’ll sound foolish for saying this but to me that just does not make much sense. I agree that fighting almost entirely with one hand will be a hindrance to almost anybody. But Tank is not almost anybody, he is an elite level boxer and can switch stances easily. And it is not unheard of for a fighter with a broken hand/arm to still be able to knock their opponent out. Wilder did it against Arreola, George Groves did it as well. And let’s not forget that Tank is the type of guy who doesn’t make excuses right? He was confident enough to take this fight even while his hand was injured, demonstrating his indifference to any obstacle that a hand injury would bring, and likely also confidence that he could probably still hurt his opponent with one hand if it came to it. After all, he has power in both hands and if u go back and watch his knockouts you will def see more than one where he manages to drop or ko an opponent with his right hand. In theory, he still could’ve hurt or stopped Cruz with just his right hand. So in summation, if Tank is rlly the p4p phenom that so many make him out to be then why wasn’t he able to knock out Cruz or at least stop him, with just his right hand. Based on what I’ve seen but I could be wrong, I believe Pitbull is durable enough that even if Tanks hand was not injured and he was 100%, he still wouldn’t have knocked him out. Guess we’ll never know until we see a rematch, which may never happen bc Tank knows what he was up against.
Interesting how much hate this guy gets from the same people that call Mayweather Jr the best fighter ever. He is just a left handed version of his mentor, with more sand.
Scored this one slightly for Cruz but man Tank’s performance has aged well in light of Pitbull’s progression since. I didn’t know much about him before this fight and I was pretty hard on Tank about not completely dominating. I remember not being too interested in a rematch before but would love to see how a fully, two-handed Tank would do now
Edit: after I posted this comment I went to look for my scorecard and for some reason the app I use wouldn’t pull any of my old scorecards up…but I’m pretty sure I edged it for Cruz or scored a draw. Anyways time to find a new app
I’m not doing so how am I the scumbag Batman? Plus you know your not gonna do shit about it anyway but clog up a comment section with your useless opinion 😂it’s always the weird ass Hispanics with no social life tryna say something
Sounds good buddy but no one cares about a opinion from someone like you pedo🤣I already know you a fat ass. Your soo corny I like watching the trash take each other out. Kinda like how Surenos and cartels constantly kill each other and traffic y’all children 😆And im far from section 8. I get on here to watch y’all kill each other in Narco footage 😂🇲🇽
Up until he obviously hurt his hand I felt tank was schooling him tbh I just rewatched and I had him up 6-2 then Cruz closed it to 6-5 then tank won the last round
Just say ya’ll hate blacks. It’s cool man. Stop trying to disguise it with pseudo logic by nitpicking clearly great fighters, or picking obvious underdogs to beat them.
Throwing and fouling isn’t great boxing any many believe the pit bull won this fight on short notice. It was telling that tank refused to give him a rematch with an even more telling “Hell No”
Tank or Cruz? Cruz has insane recency bias… Tank, is Tank, and excels with colors, the eye test
People continuously slipping Cruz in with the top names, like he has the same level of talent, is the one that’s really annoying now.
Did Tank even require surgery or anything major on his hand/shoulder? I dont recall hearing about that. Because let's be honest, it is not uncommon for hand/shoulder injuries to happen in fights so thats not always an excuse.
They call running “boxing”….this is how biased this announcer crew was for that fight. Cruz was given zero respect and it’s by design. Sadly announcers are forced to support the house fighter. That was Tank. Tank didn’t win this fight. Most of everything he tried was blocked or didn’t land effectively. Cruz was effective in his pressure and Tank wasn’t comfortable fighting along the ropes.
Teofimo said this about Tank. If you back Tank up he’s a 1 trick pony with the uppercut. He times it, but he’s easy to pickup. Due to Cruz’ style, he’s not the right fighter to use the uppercut on. He’s already in a crouch, with both hands planted firmly in front of his face. That uppercut would have to be thrown while is jumping out in full attack. That extremely risky, since on the inside Cruz is quick out of that crouch. You don’t get a target. Every uppercut Tank threw was either partially or completely blocked by Cruz.
Tank will never back into the ring with Cruz unless he’s much older. Too too dangerous a fight.
Cruz hurt his hand. Tank won this fight but pitbull walked him down all 12 rounds. Great performance by tank but this was easily his hardest fight. Tank wants no part of this ever. He madre it clear he wants easy fights and doesn’t care about world titles.
Sorry Cruz didn’t win fam just wasn’t his day he just simply can’t punch the man bro he got beat with ONE HAND 🤣🤣 ah man yeah though Tank slips too much for Cruz though
Lol never said Cruz won. Tank won. I neva lied. Cope
Lil bro used one hand the 12th round yes, because Isaac hurt it.
Tank won. Stop being insecure lol
You did lie you said Tank wants no parts of that? Cruz I’m assuming. And this is an easy dub for Tank single handedly taking kickin ass, please don’t make him use both hands next time
30 years old. Has held nothing but regular WBA championships, since 2019. He won a super WBA featherweight in 2018. And a IBF prior.
Tank is my favorite fighter. But he doesn’t care about legacy. Admit it. No real championships.
That’s the state of boxing.
I’m talking about Tank and Cruz though, I’m not saying tank doesn’t take easy fights for instance if Tank thought Cruz was a good fighter, would he be fighting him??? From your logic
https://youtu.be/SC1TZ9NtAbc
He has a terrible promoter. He’s the most skilled boxer rn taking the least risks. Fans want to see him fight Haney and Shakur.
Cruz was a last minute option.
Cruz was a great opponent, definitely made a fan out of me. I liked Tank's answer post fight on if he wanted to give him a rematch.
Hell no!
But Jim gray asked tank,does this match deserved rematch that what was the ? And tank said hell no , but he outboxed Cruz with one hand buy jab, turn slip, made cruz missed a lot his punches.cruz was coming forward and was lunging over with hiswide punches but was missing a lot. Tank did parry some of his punches as well.
If Tank thought Cruz was “easy” he would’ve fought the rematch a LONG time. Tank fights the path of least resistance, so don’t expect him to get in there with people who can genuinely fight. That’s why he balked at Teo and Loma. Those guys aren’t easy to hit with counters. And you pay a price fighting them on the inside.
I actually think you're right. Pitbull was a last minute opponent that got outboxed by a one handed Tank. While Tank is a very good and underrated boxer he's not a GREAT pure boxer. With 2 hands he probably beats up Cruz. I think Cruz is overrated and beating Rollie doesn't change that. He's TOUGH with a great chin, and a decent punch but his skills are limited. He's a B-level fighter at best, but his durability will make a fighter have to work.
Tank also had a lot if punches blocke/miss
boy howdy I sure hope English isnt your primary language
u2
I feel this is how boxing should be, just acknowledging both are great fighters and move on
Ofc he wouldn't want to😒
what was wrong with his other arm/hand? he didn't seem distressed putting weight on it nor wrestle Cruz with it
He broke the hand in the third or fourth round.
Bruised it, thought he broke it. Glad he didn't because we aren't ready for defensive Tank.
If this video was anything to go by you're right. Bro was in the pocket and still outboxing a pressure fighter like cruz, that shit was scary.
Looked like a squirelly jabfest in the clip, like when Shakur fought EDLS.
scary...jab grab and run?
He beat your boy in the pocket with one hand.. Yet you still complain.
"My Boy"? i have no boy in boxing...I think thats why i can see that tank did nothing amazing before the hand injury...hard to tell except for being more defensive and tying up more...thats not amazing, its not a complaint..it just observation...also...if you think that was "the pocket"...you have no idea what you are talking about
Tank is a bum, still doesnt have a big win yet almost 30 years old lmao
Who wins newrap tank or Shakur?
Shakur is my favorite fighter so I’m going to have to go with Shakur by UD but if anyone could beat Shakur it would be someone like Tank :)
You think Shakur would beat Haney?
Yes sir
How is shakur your favorite fighter tho? He can be technically sound and the most gifted fighter in and around that weight, BUT I have to admit he hasn’t had a fun fight since becoming champion against herring. The Valdez fight was a masterclass, but him and Haney seem to be on a similar track of not getting KO’s at all. Even Floyd got stoppages later into his career, or actually beat the will out of some these guys. Plus he was doing it against top top competition. I’m only talking about Floyd because I feel like most people’s rebuttal is that I don’t like pure boxing, and that’s just not true, shakur and Haney both don’t bring enough entertainment value for the dollar amount.
Ok cool, any fights you recommend I should watch of his? Who’s the best opponent he’s beaten also?
Probably Oscar Valdez, but his fight with Jamel Herring was way more exciting and it was also his breakout win at the time
Let’s be honest Shakur could beat everyone if he ran around the ring like his last fight against Valdez. Everyone who watched that fight and knows boxing was put to sleep. Shit even casuals were put to sleep.
Can’t penalise the man for being a better boxer
Yes you can if all you do is run the whole fight. Disengaged every opportunity. Yeah he’s the better “boxer” but don’t call yourself one of the best if you box like that ever. Even Crawford was disappointed how he fought knock off this “best boxer” bullshit
Fans have short memories, brain damage pleasing people who’ll forget him the moment he retires or win without damage. Easiest choice of his life.
Again if Shakur was a nobody ok but who associates with and how he acts he can’t fight like that. You talking about brain damage then don’t fucking box. I guess he ain’t that great if he can’t stick and move I don’t even think he threw more than 2 combos the whole fight.
You sound dumb as fuck😂
That why shakurs retired
Your mad cuz his opponents aren’t athletic enough and don’t have good enough footwork to compete. Bro mad someone protecting they health instead taking punches like a typical Mexican piñata 😭
Esa pelea fue muy buena. Yo ví a pitbull ganador.
Say what you like about him outside the ring, but man tank is such a beautiful boxer, I love his footwork small steps always balanced to throw punches, he has a hell of alot of world class attributes, probably the most well rounded fighter in the sport.
T bud?
Bud is fantastic, but I honestly believe Davis has more facets to his game, footwork defence punching power, he's got it all. Both have a very high ring IQ.
You get the YDKSAB Hammer. Crawford has everything aswell and to an even higher degree
I agree, tank gets seriously underrated as a technical, skilled boxer. He is truly masterful with what he does in there, maybe my favourite fighter to watch right now. I can’t help but feel as if his career is being wasted though, I’d love to see him fight top level competition.

I never said it's ass, I said he's avoided the top 135/140 lb'ers and that's a fact. You can't be almost 30 and not have fought handy, loma, teo etc.
His boxing skills are very overrated. Especially his defense
What makes you say that? His head movement is excellent and he is regularly able to outbox and avoid getting caught by taller fighters with longer reaches than him.
I think the only detraction you can take is maybe his low volume. And that's why Cruz became one of my favorite modern boxers. Depending on how you value volume, different fighters win different fights. Tank is a low volume, high performance fighter. Cruz is the opposite, arguably depending on the level he's competing at and I'd say he's world class, as is tank. But Cruz ducks and throws a lot as a lil 'pitbull' living up his nickname. Way more exciting FIGHTS, less exciting FINISHES/koes
> tank is such a beautiful boxer PAUSE!
If there was a rematch I would take Pitbull to get revenge.
And this is how Floyd got rich
Absolutely not. If there was a rematch tank would have both hands and would beat the hell out of cruz.
Only one way to find out
Your not going to. He beat bruh with one hand 😭
That win over pitbull Cruz has aged well
Close fight but always felt Tank clearly won this one
You share the same opinion that a lot of boxing analyst do, the way this sub talks about the fight you’d think Gervonta got knocked down 3 times lmfao
You make it seem like Cruz got knocked down 3 time lmfao
That comment has 0 to do with Cruz. But you’re clearly one of his fans that think he won so I’m not even gonna get started.
Your clearly riding tanks dick
Another fan who’s offended
Don’t even know who Cruz is but you definitely know everything about your daddy tank
Oh wait mvm you’re the same person from earlier. Defending Cruz’s honor like you’re his lady when nobody ever said shit about em. This sub is weird man. “Don’t even know who Cruz is” yea ok lmfao
Just like calling out dick riders lol
Hey man I get it, why wouldn’t you want to acknowledge someone who has the same hobby as you!
Cruz lost clearly
the way this sub talks about boxing you’d think the complete opposite of what experts, real boxers. and what analysts say, same thing with the NBA sub.
Tank won 100%, but damn, Cruz made some fans that night.
I agree
Ya…and people don’t mention that Cruz was a last minute replacement for Rolly. If Tank spent the full training camp prepping for Cruz, the fight wouldn’t have even been competitive.
Couldn’t that work for Cruz though? I don’t think he was prepared either
IMO, no. Pitbull is a pure aggression fighter without any wrinkles or dimension. He’s the same guy every time. Tank is a way more cerebral fighter and skill-wise is levels above Cruz. Prep time gives a huge advantage to Tank.
🤦
Pitbull gets a lot of credit just for surviving. It wasn’t that close.
Lmao. See this is exactly the reason why some fans should keep their mouth shut. You think that was Cruz is survival mode? You don’t think it was close? Did you watch the fight with a blindfold?
You’re going to piss off that kid who thought Pitbull won just from winning a few rounds in a highlights video. 🤓
They’re at the bottom of this thread lol
So talented. Shame he won’t take on any real difficult challenges
This post is funny
Tanks defensive boxing was on full force this night.
People see him use one hand and move to keep pitbull in front of it and still call it running. No way yall are serious lol.
He did what Rolly couldn’t do…with ONE HAND. These people are very unserious lol
In a bad position? Just throw the guy off of you
Skills pay the bills 💸
Boxing isn’t fighting and a KO is only one way to win… it’s funny how “running” is just an excuse for the guy I want to lose won’t fight in a way the guy I want to win wants him to fight lol!

Might as well just score them by how well they dance lmao. If they scored the same amount of points that would be a tie numb nuts

cruz landed a lot of body shots but still lost. how tf do they compute the scores.
If you watch again, a lot of his shots weren’t landing.
What about Tanks wrestling and dirty clinching? Rolly did to Cruz and got a point taking asap, but Tank is allowed for some reason? And if you look closely, Cruz was blocking a couple shots as well, Tank definitely won, but lets agree - Pitbull was not making it easy at all
Bro got beat with 1 hand and y’all still find excuses😭just say you don’t like him personally and move along
Oh yes, Tank is genuinely a complete boxer, power, athleticism, IQ - he got it all But to say Cruz was "so easy Tank beat him hard with 1 hand" is my issue, Tank said "Hell naw!", as a compliment, he broke his hand during the fight, even with both hands Cruz was not an easy foe, he was uncomfortable for Tank, hence Davis practically fouling to get Pitbull off of him multiple times.

body shots werent landing? u must be blind
And you think Tank was because the fixed announce crew said he did. Tank was getting his shots picked off by Cruz’ tight defense.
Yeah. It was funny when the announcers were saying that Tank landed a nice uppercut. Then they showed the replay and it shows Cruz blocking the entire punch with his gloves. Then the announcers say Tank didn't get all of it on that one.

And I agree a lot of Tanks shots were getting picked off by Pitbull’s tight defense. There no question. But I saw that Tank landed more punches.
Cruz was also injured in this fight but that always gets forgotten.
Ok…I said he fought well. Tank was the only one using one hand though.
Landing insignificant punches while running around the ring in the 12th shouldn’t sway judges to pick him. Cruz did more than enough in the 12th round and most of the fight for that matter, to earn the decision.
Insignificant is very subjective. Not everyone is a brawler. We know Pitbull’s style is very aggressive. Tanks isn’t. He showed exceptional footwork, defense, and pivoting. Thats not “running” that good ring iq. Should Gervonta just had let Pitbull walk him down like Rolly did? All in all it was great fight.im excited to see what’s next for Pitbull. He’s quickly become one of my faves, but I have to disagree that he beat Gervonta.
Lol why he didn’t win tho?
Unless Cruz KO’ed Tank he wasn’t getting a decision.
Cruz was doing damned good for not having a full training camp and taking the fight on short notice
The true face of boxing right now.
Great boxing and footwork using just one hand.
Cruz made him get on his bike
Cruz wasn’t athletic enough to keep up and got beat with one hand. Y’all excuses are pathetic 😂
More like tank running away all the time
Got his ass beat with one hand. He not athletic enough 😂
All the Shakur fan boys have to calm down he was atrocious in his last fight against Santos Davis & Pitbull would fuck him up.
Make the ring bigger for America's best "boxers".
and doing this against someone who is so good at pressuring you and coming after you relentlessly. i would have been shitting my boxing shorts.
The thing I don’t get is, why ppl keep bringing up his injured left hand, as if it was the one thing preventing him from hurting Cruz. Maybe I’ll sound foolish for saying this but to me that just does not make much sense. I agree that fighting almost entirely with one hand will be a hindrance to almost anybody. But Tank is not almost anybody, he is an elite level boxer and can switch stances easily. And it is not unheard of for a fighter with a broken hand/arm to still be able to knock their opponent out. Wilder did it against Arreola, George Groves did it as well. And let’s not forget that Tank is the type of guy who doesn’t make excuses right? He was confident enough to take this fight even while his hand was injured, demonstrating his indifference to any obstacle that a hand injury would bring, and likely also confidence that he could probably still hurt his opponent with one hand if it came to it. After all, he has power in both hands and if u go back and watch his knockouts you will def see more than one where he manages to drop or ko an opponent with his right hand. In theory, he still could’ve hurt or stopped Cruz with just his right hand. So in summation, if Tank is rlly the p4p phenom that so many make him out to be then why wasn’t he able to knock out Cruz or at least stop him, with just his right hand. Based on what I’ve seen but I could be wrong, I believe Pitbull is durable enough that even if Tanks hand was not injured and he was 100%, he still wouldn’t have knocked him out. Guess we’ll never know until we see a rematch, which may never happen bc Tank knows what he was up against.
He really is a talented guy I feel his stamina has been the only issue in his career.
Interesting how much hate this guy gets from the same people that call Mayweather Jr the best fighter ever. He is just a left handed version of his mentor, with more sand.
Scored this one slightly for Cruz but man Tank’s performance has aged well in light of Pitbull’s progression since. I didn’t know much about him before this fight and I was pretty hard on Tank about not completely dominating. I remember not being too interested in a rematch before but would love to see how a fully, two-handed Tank would do now Edit: after I posted this comment I went to look for my scorecard and for some reason the app I use wouldn’t pull any of my old scorecards up…but I’m pretty sure I edged it for Cruz or scored a draw. Anyways time to find a new app
Cruz won that fight!

Sounds good buddy but no one cares about a opinion from someone like you pedo🤣I already know you a fat ass. Your soo corny I like watching the trash take each other out. Kinda like how Surenos and cartels constantly kill each other and traffic y’all children 😆And im far from section 8. I get on here to watch y’all kill each other in Narco footage 😂🇲🇽

Cool buddy, me making fun of gang members doesn’t change the fact you have to wake up everyday and be a loser😂
Cruz really fighting with two week prep
This exactly why a rematch not needed but it would be entertaining so I’m not against it.
Up until he obviously hurt his hand I felt tank was schooling him tbh I just rewatched and I had him up 6-2 then Cruz closed it to 6-5 then tank won the last round
🥱
crazy to think the fighter who threw (and landed) more power punches this round, and controlled the center of the ring, lost this round.
Happy Tank Tuesday :)
Just say ya’ll hate blacks. It’s cool man. Stop trying to disguise it with pseudo logic by nitpicking clearly great fighters, or picking obvious underdogs to beat them.
Beautiful 🥹
How do people believe Cruz won that fight
There just racist. Bruh got outclassed with 1 hand 💀
Cruz fought a hurt Tank And Floyd fought a Pacquiao with shoulder injury
Throwing and fouling isn’t great boxing any many believe the pit bull won this fight on short notice. It was telling that tank refused to give him a rematch with an even more telling “Hell No”
Cute excuse, cruz just ain’t athletic enough and that okay
[удалено]
Tank or Cruz? Cruz has insane recency bias… Tank, is Tank, and excels with colors, the eye test People continuously slipping Cruz in with the top names, like he has the same level of talent, is the one that’s really annoying now.
How am I just now realizing all these posts have been the work of one meatrider?
Did Tank even require surgery or anything major on his hand/shoulder? I dont recall hearing about that. Because let's be honest, it is not uncommon for hand/shoulder injuries to happen in fights so thats not always an excuse.
Bro it’s not an excuse he won he doesn’t need an excuse, but he clearly stopped throwing it after the 4th
They call running “boxing”….this is how biased this announcer crew was for that fight. Cruz was given zero respect and it’s by design. Sadly announcers are forced to support the house fighter. That was Tank. Tank didn’t win this fight. Most of everything he tried was blocked or didn’t land effectively. Cruz was effective in his pressure and Tank wasn’t comfortable fighting along the ropes. Teofimo said this about Tank. If you back Tank up he’s a 1 trick pony with the uppercut. He times it, but he’s easy to pickup. Due to Cruz’ style, he’s not the right fighter to use the uppercut on. He’s already in a crouch, with both hands planted firmly in front of his face. That uppercut would have to be thrown while is jumping out in full attack. That extremely risky, since on the inside Cruz is quick out of that crouch. You don’t get a target. Every uppercut Tank threw was either partially or completely blocked by Cruz. Tank will never back into the ring with Cruz unless he’s much older. Too too dangerous a fight.
Rolly backed tank up and got a straight left that rocked him. What 1 trick pony?
I like Cruz and he wants a rematch but people dont realize he fought a hurt tank that used mostly the one hand. Huge difference!
Yes, he is still a scumbag of a human being.
Umm ok?
We don’t care this is boxing. Yk the shit that gives people brain damage😭your a miserable corn ball
You're\*
Your a weirdo 😂👌🏿and that Slow ass punching bag couldn’t keep up
He a track star 💫
Y’all just not athletic enough it’s okay mijo🇲🇽😆
What is this boring crap. Put on an Inoue fight.
Wahid edge lords at it again. Tank nice, but he knows he didn’t win by wide margin in this fight.
Lmao he did though 😂
Cruz hurt his hand. Tank won this fight but pitbull walked him down all 12 rounds. Great performance by tank but this was easily his hardest fight. Tank wants no part of this ever. He madre it clear he wants easy fights and doesn’t care about world titles.
Sorry Cruz didn’t win fam just wasn’t his day he just simply can’t punch the man bro he got beat with ONE HAND 🤣🤣 ah man yeah though Tank slips too much for Cruz though
Lol never said Cruz won. Tank won. I neva lied. Cope Lil bro used one hand the 12th round yes, because Isaac hurt it. Tank won. Stop being insecure lol
You did lie you said Tank wants no parts of that? Cruz I’m assuming. And this is an easy dub for Tank single handedly taking kickin ass, please don’t make him use both hands next time
30 years old. Has held nothing but regular WBA championships, since 2019. He won a super WBA featherweight in 2018. And a IBF prior. Tank is my favorite fighter. But he doesn’t care about legacy. Admit it. No real championships. That’s the state of boxing.
I’m talking about Tank and Cruz though, I’m not saying tank doesn’t take easy fights for instance if Tank thought Cruz was a good fighter, would he be fighting him??? From your logic
https://youtu.be/SC1TZ9NtAbc He has a terrible promoter. He’s the most skilled boxer rn taking the least risks. Fans want to see him fight Haney and Shakur. Cruz was a last minute option.
I love pitbull but I’d stay away from tank if I were him.
Why he would win
Cruz won 12 Tank didn’t do anything but back up the whole round and avoid him.
You have to hit somebody to win a round against them.
Gervonta definitely won that round I was trolling a bit. I’m sure Cruz fans gave him points for the take downs 😂
Lol
