Davis vs. Nunez

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Velez vs. Suarez
Jayson Velez, TKO, R6
Jayson Velez looks pretty goood against the guys he's SUPPOSED TO beat. But struggles against the other guys.. Which I guess if you're gonna lose, losing to the guys with a name, is the best kinda loss you can take.

Thompson vs. Vera
Lionell Thompson, DEC
By the way, these aren't 130lb men. These guys are Light-Heavyweights

Hawkins vs. Steele
Malik Hawkins, DEC
Yes, Malik Hawkins is 15–0, but against average opposition. if you wanna call total combined records of his previous opponents (100–99–13) average. Where as Jonathan Steele is 9-4-1 against wayyy stronger opposition, combined records for Steele's opponents (91–19–7) Sometimes things aren't as they appear. But, I guess it's possible to be good, regardless of competition.... I guess.

Davis vs. Nunez
Gervonta Davis, TKO, R1
This guy Nunez is the definition of the famous "Mexican Road Sweeper" or "Latviaan Bin Man". Davis should finish this guy in less than 3!

Gamboa vs. Martinez
Roman Martinez, DEC
Remember when Gamboa was in the top 10 p4p? Then Bud Crawford took his soul!

Miller vs. Corrales
Jezzrel Corrales, DEC
This is just like Ugas v Figueroa last week. Miller may have the better record but Corrales is much better, I'll be extremely surprised if Corrales doesn't wipe the floor with Miller! Millers only hope is a dodgy decision which is always a possibility!

Davis vs. Nunez
Gervonta Davis, TKO, R3
Tank wins this, he should get a unification fight. Not yet Berchelt (tho that's what everyone is drooling for, you know they'll make us wait for that one)... Anyways, Gervonta Davis just might be my favorite fighter under 140lbs... MY FAVORITE. (Everybody entitled to their own opinions)

Gamboa vs. Martinez
Yuriorkis Gamboa, DEC
Hard to think Roman Martínez will be in the best form of his career, coz he'd need to be in order to beat Gamboa. I mean he has had 1 Fight, in 3+ years (1 fight since loss to Lomachenko)... Then again they claim "ring rust" don't exist. Not saying he's exactly rusty, just not in top form, IMO.

Miller vs. Corrales
Ladarius Miller, DEC
Little surprised the picks aren't a little tighter here to be honest. Corrales is ranked in the WBA (@ 130lb), Miller isn't ranked at all. Corrales is also ranked a little better on both BoxRec & IBO top 100 (at 130lb). Corrales opened as -375 favorite (now nearly a pick em) But against nobody's really. If you have trouble remembering this guy, he was the WBA super Featherweight champ, who on his 4th defense, lost the belt on the scales, then got KO'd by Albert Machádo. I honestly call ******** on those rankings here. Corrales is making his Lightweight debut. Miller has been battle tested for awhile. Never been KO'd, and has goood quality wins over guys like Jamel Herring. Take it as you want.

Brad mate, don't you think Gamboa is shot as a fighter?  If you look closer at his last few wins he's been dropped, he either doesn't throw or gasses out hard if he does and has a habit of losing his cool and fouling.  He has lost points in 2 of 3 fights and even had 3 points taken in 1 fight!  I know Martinez is in a similar spot in his career but I think I am going to pick him just by keeping it together, not sure tho?

As for Miller Corrales, you laid out why Corrales should win this fight.  I don't know about Miller being tested?  OK the Herring fight, but that was a very different Herring who was going through all that personal grief at that time.  I really think Corrales wins this pretty comfortably.

Find out soon I guess

Plus the way my picks have been I should maybe listen to you!

Im not making picks for this card but I'm definitely hoping Rocky wins.
