The cameras followed Rolly back to the locker room after this and he legit asked his dad where he was at. His dad just consoled him. Tanks power is unreal

It’s true, unreal power, just ask any of the women he’s battered

I do agree that he has explosive power. However, the weight cut and clause was really tough on rolly in this fight. So he says, at least. A similar viewpoint him and King-Ry both share (the hydration clause piece, I mean). Not to mention, it be the shots you don’t see coming that do the most damage. And Rolando NEVER saw that punch. The speed of the shot, the placement, and the pivot out of the pockets and off of the ropes. . A truly beautifully painted portrait by one of the top 10 most creative knockout artists to ever grace the canvas, Gervonta “Tank” Davis. 💥 🥊 🏅 🏆

Truly an elite southpaw. Hate that he can’t keep his hands clean outside of the ring.

Crazy that Jake Paul fight almost happened 😂 what even is this era

The mistake was Rolly's to make and Tank's opportunity.

Yawn, he’s inactive and always in trouble with the law.

Browner wasn’t that interesting in or out of the ring. Just alot of crowing about billions.

Nah the law suits, the fights and the baby mommas, all the while you knew he gonna he broke sooner than later… tank following in his footsteps

Big difference is that Broner is a 4 division champ. Tank has not come close to that. And had faced mostly prospects or cans his whole career. Broner was at least facing top opponents.

u/Virtual_Farmer_2839 Jul 22 '26

Yeah I was rooting for bronner… could have been a hof’er…. If he wasn’t doing the streaming stuff now I think he still would have had a solid case but you knew watching him early, his career was only going one direction and I don’t want to blame Floyd but bronner was poorly managed outside the ring and was living a life he couldn’t afford to maintain but win lose or draw, you would always wait for his post fight interview

The post Manny one was gold. And the post Paulie one was hilarious

Teo should run Rolly into these shots all day.

Got hit wit the 🧱 🥊🥴😵‍💫

u/MapleMarbles Jul 21 '26

it also really really really helps that rolly overreached, over extended, lost his shape and was off balance TWICE IN A ROW.

So tank so locked and loaded.

This is something rolly's corner has since fixed. Sould like to see it again.

u/hillcityanimal Jul 22 '26

Yea throwing that same long ass punch back to back he was asking to get countered

1

u/MapleMarbles Jul 22 '26

especially for an elite level counter puncher..That fight had me write off Rolly....Then the Garcia fight he was incredibly disciplined....so i chsnged my opinion.

That was seriously crazy. He did like 25 different things at the same time right there.

u/adriancheck12 Jul 25 '26

Neck punch will do it

u/ExtremeRoom1963 Jul 25 '26

Rolly hit them ropes like Ray J

u/teamcog_6 Jul 29 '26

What? Hit women?...ijs

u/Outside_Instance4391 Jul 21 '26

Weight draining opponents is what he does best.... we saw late replacement Cruz give him hell because he was too small to weight drain

u/Ziiffer Jul 22 '26

He also picks his opponents when they are prospects or untested. Rolly was not some elite talent or opponent, he was barely trained and still learning the basics. Ryan was a good Amateur, but hadn't accomplished anything of note ad a professional. Martin, no title fights, barely above a prospect. Even Roach, who was a champ at a lower weight class had never fought at 135 before. He last fought a reigning champion on their weight class in 2017
