Jason Sosa vs. Gervonta "Tank" Davis
The one TMT fighter I enjoy(Badou Jack's not bad either) looks like he gets a shot at the title Sosa took off Fortuna after surviving a questionable draw with Walters. Not sure if it's too much of a step up at this point in his career but I like the path young prospect is traveling. This should be a very entertaining slightly under the radar scrap for the fans come this Oct.

Good fight
Re: Jason Sosa vs. Gervonta "Tank" Davis
Pretty big step up in class for the #10 WBA ranked Gervonta Davis (16-0,15 KO's).
I don't like it, seems rushed. Davis is only 21 years old and last fought against an opponent who had 18 losses coming in.
Sosa (19-1-4, 15 KO's) may not be the top lightweight in the world, however he held his own with Axe Man Walters and took out Fortuna. That's not a fluke.

Re: Jason Sosa vs. Gervonta "Tank" Davis
Agree Chuck. It does seem rushed especially in this era. If Gervonta is able to rise to the challenge at his age against a durable, high energy kid like Sosa it will be a hell of an accomplishment. Or it could be too soon and he could have a night like Imam vs Granados. Either way I these ambitious type scrappers are usually the kind I end up pulling for.chuck9788 wrote:Pretty big step up in class for the #10 WBA ranked Gervonta Davis (16-0,15 KO's).

Re: Jason Sosa vs. Gervonta "Tank" Davis
Gervonta hasn't been tested yet. He's been put in fairly soft. I could see this ending up like the Jamel herring vs shafikov fight where he's outgunned by a guy who's fought tougher fights and isn't going to give him any respect. The only reason they'd be taking this is they assume it's a good style matchup on paper with Sosa being straight forward and aggressive. I get the the feeling they're looking past him...............
Re: Jason Sosa vs. Gervonta "Tank" Davis
I'll take Davis in this one. This can be one hellava fight.

Kid's talented but I dunno if he's ready. For his sake, I sure hope he is.

This is how i see it playing out. Sosa is going to grind and put this kid in an uncomfortable position that hes never been. Sosa by KO.NoPropaganda 253 wrote:Agree Chuck.

Re: Jason Sosa vs. Gervonta "Tank" Davis
This fight is definitely going to tell us a whole lot that we don't know about the kid. Stamina, ability to to trade with opponent under pressure, ability fight on the inside/tactics to get fight back outside, better usage of jab to create distance/set up power, amount of dog within, etc.,tainos wrote:This is how i see it playing out.

Imam couldn't make those adjustments nor possessed those tools needed. Will be interesting to see if Gervonta can or if your prognosis rings true.

Davis is a talented prospect who might upset Sosa but he hasn't earned this title shot.

Wow, boxing is a crazy sport. First Sosa was stopped early in his career in the first round, was incredibly lucky to escape with a draw against Walters and then upsets and wins a title. Meanwhile, Walters is setting on the sidelines without a title or even a fight lined up. I hope he gets a rematch with Sosa.

Re: Jason Sosa vs. Gervonta "Tank" Davis
I'd rather see Walters just fight some bigger fights altogether than a rematch with Sosa. I thought he beat Sosa. The draw was bogus. Just like Tim Bradley vs Diego Chaves. They could have a rematch so that Bradley could settle the draw, but it's honestly a waste of time. Most of us know that Tim won that fight.ForceFed_231 wrote:Wow, boxing is a crazy sport.
