LOMACHENKO TOO OLD FOR TANK DAVIS?
The boxing world is eagerly anticipating the potential unification clash between WBA lightweight champion Gervonta 'Tank' Davis and IBF champion Vasily Lomachenko, set to happen later this year. However, there's a noticeable bias against Tank Davis, with many fans focusing on the age difference between him and the 36-year-old Lomachenko.
Some fans stubbornly refuse to give Tank the credit he deserves if he defeats Lomachenko. They need to set aside their bias and respect Tank if he secures a win without dismissing the victory due to Lomachenko’s age. Preemptive Discrediting is Unfair
Many fans are already downplaying a potential win for Tank over Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs). They argue that Lomachenko’s nearing 37 suggests that a victory for Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) wouldn’t be significant because Loma is "too old." This preemptive discrediting is entirely unfair. Tank should receive full credit if he wins because beating a two-time Olympic gold medalist would be a substantial achievement.
Despite his age, Lomachenko is far from being over the hill. He demonstrated this in his recent fights against George Kambosos Jr. and Devin Haney, defeating Kambosos and arguably deserving a win against Haney. Lomachenko remains highly skilled and capable of outboxing Tank if he avoids being caught by Davis’s powerful punches.
Discrediting a potential victory doesn't benefit Tank or Lomachenko. Tank is a phenomenal fighter with exceptional abilities, having won titles in three weight classes and becoming a PPV star in just 11 years. It’s unfair for Tank’s potential win over Lomachenko not to receive full praise from fans, regardless of their personal biases.
In conclusion, fans need to recognize Tank Davis's talent and give him the respect he deserves if he manages to defeat Lomachenko. Both fighters are elite in their own right, and a victory for Tank should be celebrated without any caveats.
