Gervonta “Tank” Davis Should Be Fighting Shakur Stevenson
Gervonta “Tank” Davis needs to fight at least one of the champions in his own division and Shakur “Fearless” Stevenson should get the nod. Stevenson has been dubbed a “boring fighter” when in reality, not all of his fights were boring. The one fight that everyone continues to bring up is his showdown with Edwin De Los Santos, which, admittedly, wasn’t overly exciting.
However, Davis shouldn’t be allowed to avoid facing Fearless simply because of that reason. Whenever fans, pundits, or fighter’s use the term boring it’s code for “high risk, low reward” which to fans, has never been a legit reason for a fighter not taking a challenge. Bottom line, these are two are young, in their prime and undefeated champions that must face each other sooner or later.
Being a fight desired by the fans, involving 2 undefeated fighters with high-level and distinguishable skill sets, it needs to happen – and it won’t fail in its ability to draw strong audience.
After he got outboxed by LRJ I’m convinced he doesn’t stand a chance against shakur. And I’m not a shakur fan at all. But dude got skills. Tank has ducked all difficult competition and after roach I’m sure he fears it more
Tank better not leave the division without facing Stevenson. If he does I’m going to light fire to his resume.
