The “Tank,” as many call him, is a big man in the ring and his knockout power must instill great fear. Roach demonstrated in the first contest that this guy ain’t no easy fight, and gave Davis one of his toughest bouts! With this much anticipation and excitement, the announcement provoked a wave of reactions with people of all ages chiming in on who they thought would win this time around.
Ball Knower, always to the point, says, “Tank sitting that boy down this time,” expressing confidence that Davis would finish the fight early, a sentiment echoed by many of his followers. To which others replied more candidly: “Roach 😂 all luv to tank but he was getting his ass handed to him man.” A taunt in an arena where respect was bestowed on Roach throughout their bout.
“I don’t know; Lamont may actually win. He was giving Tank some competition, had Tank looking crazy out there,” said Peace_World✌🏿🌍. There have been a number of others with similar points, arguing that Roach’s performance in the first fight is evidence that he may actually be the dark horse. Then add to that some fighting banter.
Another was funny yet serious: KuttThroatLos said, “He bout to whoop Lamont ass 🤣🤣,” while another chimed in with, “$$$: i hope they shorts fall off this time 😝.” This just serves to spice things up even more.
Analytically, there’s a divergence of intrigue below the humor. “Tank was playing with him the first fight which is why the fight went that way a focused tank is a different type of scary he ain’t gonna leave to the judges this time around,” stated Adzen1995. So Davis will be taking this fight with more focus and seriousness than before, and that’s going to be bad news for Roach.
Kirbz, on the other hand, focused on the inside: “Tank got show them gears.. roach gon be confident too.. the rematch will get the attention the first fight should have 🔥.” This is shaping up to be an exciting fight, and with both of them having something to prove, it’s going to be worth the watching.
However, a lone voice of dissent could be heard from star✭light, who bluntly said, “Ion think this fight as important.” But, by far, the majority are excited to see these two settle it.
