I like Roach, seems like a good dude...but Tank does everything better and Roach is moving up in weight...a very good, professional fighter meets a great fighter....just a different level

Roy Jones made a excellent point. A fighter moving up in weight "too quickly" and "think" their power will translate with increased weight will not work. He also pointed out, that taking your time moving up in weight and divisions, while continuously maintaining your fundamentals will eventually help with power.
 
Yeah, but we said the same thing about frank martin, but tank was able to K.O. martin.

I'll take my chances on tank K.O. roach.

tank will feel him out to see how much power roach has as a test, then he'll try to get roach in the corner to finish em.

So, to see tank so calm towards roach is dangerous when tank wants to destroy roach.

We on the same page brother w/ Tank winning by KO however, I'm not putting Roach's defense to the side. Roach comes from the same turf, they fought twice, & they've been in the same gym I'm sure understanding each other's pro's / con's. Let's see.

Yeah, I agree with you as well, brotha.

But power will always win the fight which is something tank has over roach.
 
I say Roach surprises us and goes the distance or win
That would be something and one of the biggest upsets ever if that happens. I just don't see it.

But I'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't want to bet against TANK.
 
Interesting take. What is it you see, some of us don't?

First of all Roach not scared of him so he's not just coming for a check.

The fact Tank talked too much about retiiring when u start that retirement talk means your head not in the right space, he hasn't been very active, he loses rds, what if that punch he set traps for doesnt connect.

And most importantly I don't like agreeing with yall mfers and I wanna go against the grain. Fuck it lol oh and I wanna be right

Well we'll see than. lol

I've been wrong with some of these fights.
 
Tank is a 20-1 favorite.
This has no business being an $80 PPV.
Roach doesn’t have a prayer.
Pointless fight.
It's ridiculous how much they charge for these mid tier fights. Because I could understand if tank was fighting someone who has a big draw which people know that fighter who has a big crowd as well that the Ppv event being worth $80.

This isn't even on the same level like Mayweather vs Pacquiao
Spencer vs Crawford
Bivol vs Bivel
Crawford vs Canelo

These are big fights that are worth $80 ppv price or more. .
