Coach Barry Hunter says he desires a combat between Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Naoya ‘Monster’ Inoue at a catchweight “in the middle.” Hunter states that Tank (30-0, 28 KOs) would transfer down in weight to face Inoue (29-0, 26 KOs), who must come up from 122, maybe to 130 to make it doable.
It’s solely eight kilos that Inoue would want to maneuver up for a mega-fight with Tank Davis to be a actuality. Would he? The Japanese celebrity Naoya has been reluctant to maneuver as much as 126 to face the sharks in that division.

Tank Davis can be sacrificing much more by dropping down 5 or extra lbs to combat at a catchweight of 130 or 128 than Inoue would in transferring up six to eight lbs. It’s so much simpler for fighters to maneuver up in weight than to drop down.
If Inoue hesitates to go up a mere 4 lbs from tremendous bantamweight to featherweight, would he have the braveness to go up eight lbs to 130? It requires bravery for a fighter to maneuver out of their consolation zone. Inoue has it very simple throughout his skilled profession, feasting on the weak opposition at 122, 118, 115 and 108.
Barren Resume
Naoya’s resume is barren of title fighters in these weight lessons, but he’s made thousands and thousands from his wins towards fighters in these talent-less divisions. He hasn’t fought the true expertise at 115, Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez, and it doesn’t appear to be he ever will.
“As a boxing fan, I would like to see Inoue,” mentioned coach Barry Hunter to Fighthype when requested who he would love for Gervonta Davis to combat subsequent. “Yes, or we meet somewhere in the middle. The reason why he [Naoya] was named ‘The Monster’ for a reason,” mentioned Hunter about whether or not he would love for Inoue to maneuver as much as 135 to face Davis.
“I’m a fan, however nonetheless, he’s [Inoue] explosive, he’s skillful, and I believe that’s anyone that will problem what we do. You do understand that Tank is definitely not an actual 140 or 135-pounder. He’s a small man. He’s simply as explosive as hell, and makes him look larger than what he’s.
“Nevertheless, he can make that weight. Loma, I love, based on skills,” mentioned Hunter when requested who he would love for Tank Davis to combat at 135. “Keyshawn, I’m cool with that, too. I don’t care. Whatever, whoever, we confident in it.”
