On the other hand, Derrick Choyce brings up a concern about the weight issue. He stated, “Teo said he is never going back down to 135. I don’t want to see a weight drained weakened Teo fighting Tank for no titles.”
Meanwhile, Ramirez expressed mixed feelings, saying, “as you see he still apart of the 4 kings so I don’t want to hear nothing that fight is great though but sucks for me both my favorite fighter but I would have tank lowkey by tko stopage but in 11 round though.”
Next, Dante Marsical questioned, “I don’t see why tank would take that fight. It’s too risky for him and he never fights a big opponent without a rehydration or stipulations in his favor. If teo accepts Davis’ stipulations than sure the fight can happen but I don’t think it will I think tank will face Cruz.”
Indeed, these mixed opinions reflect fans’ sheer investment in the potential prospect of this fight.
