This may be considered as yet one more mismatch and mushy contact for Tank to make sure that he retains bringing in simple cash with out sustaining injury.
The curiosity from the boxing public in a struggle between Tank Davis and Roach is minimal, as many extra compelling opponents can be found than utilizing a 130-pounder because the opponent. Nobody needs to see Tank choose Roach from the tremendous featherweight division to pad his report and promote this mismatch on PPV.

This may be considered as one other instance of a cherry-pick by Baltimore native Tank Davis, who has been matched very rigorously throughout his professional profession.
