Speedy is a really good interviewer. Good questions, good follow ups, doesn't step over the guests, etc. There needs to be more like him.

“That’s against the rules brother” tank got me dead asf

[keithlee]

You can tell Tank is genuine because you gives the same exact experiences with the same detail every time. That speaks volumes on his character and being honest as a person.

Tank is so level-headed. The fact that he keeps saying this is a 50/50 fight shows just how serious he is taking this and taking Ryan. I'm honestly a fan of both but following this fight closely, I've started to like Tank more. He just seems more humble and experienced.

I could honestly see this fight going either way but I got Tank in 8. Either way, respect to both these men putting everything on the line. One of the fights of our generation for sure.

Dr. Tank Davis that’s crazy never would have thought that he wanted to be a veterinarian, he matured very well and is growing into an amazing boxer. Future hall of famer right there!!!

[justmekondeck]

It is always a pleasure to witness these young men mature and carry themselves very respectfully. I come to really admire this young man and his talent, so proud of him. Great to see him more open and expressing himself in an articulate manner.

I love that Tank takes his fights serious and he understands the moment. 90% of the fighters talk about how there going to do this and that and get clapped.

The part about making his family stay home speaks louder than all the antics prior. My guy is locked in and knows this fight will be far from a cake walk.
