Tim Bradley says Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis’ new look is a sign he “doesn’t care what people think about him”. Bradley says Tank looks “really sharp”which he sees as a positive because he feels he knows who he is now.
Leaked image WBA lightweight champion Tanka (30-0, 28 KOs) showed him lying on a chair with a beanbag with his long hair straightened, possibly pomaded, and appearing to have make-up around his eyes. It is not clear if it was eyeshadow or mascara.
“Zesty” & Unbothered
He sees that as a bad thing for Gervonta’s next opponent, Lamont Roach, as he will square off with him when they fight on March 1st at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The team doesn’t say how Tank’s new nonchalant attitude about his physical appearance is related to taking it out on Roach because it’s not like he was insulting him. If anything, he seems grateful for the pay.
The power of wealth
Tank is rich and, like many rich people, they don’t care what people think of them. They no longer live in the real world because of their wealth. When you have the mega-wealth of Tank Davis, it’s freedom from having to worry about the judgment of others.
“When that picture got leaked and it looks really eccentric [femine] and not giving an af***. I’m trying to tell you everything. My man is on a new level,” said Tim Bradley social mediareacting to a leaked image of WBA lightweight champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis showing off his new haircut and dress look.
“We are at a new level. I’m on a new level.’ Yes, my old man [Tank] is on a new level because he knows who he is. There is power in knowing who you are. Most people don’t know who the hell they are. They think they are, but they don’t really know who they are.
“It takes me a while to figure it out. We are constantly evolving as humans. We are constantly evolving, but now he knows. Tank knows now. That’s why he doesn’t care. Having that power regardless. Tank has that superpower,” Bradley said of Gervonta’s new look.

Since then, there have been no photos of Tank’s new hairdo and glasses. It’s hard to tell if the new look is a sign of Davis’ development or just the mood of the day. If we see him always looking like that, we can tell he’s “evolving,” as Bradley says.
“He just doesn’t care. A tank will be a tank. A tank will do what a tank will do,” Bradley said. “Whether it looks dashing or nothe knows who he is. There is a superpower in that. Guess who it will be settled on? He’ll test it on Lamont Roach.
“I feel sorry for Roach. He’s a good fighter, but I’m telling you. This tank here is different. It’s a different guy. Did you see the weight too? dude [Gervonta] he can fight tomorrow. A man can fight today. The guy can fight whenever he wants.
“It’s in a few weeks. The fight is still a few months away. I’m telling you, you’re locked in,” Bradley said.
I don’t see how Tank will treat Roach any differently now than he did when the fight was signed. Bradley really reaches out with his views. Struggle is a mismatch and always has been.
The weight of the tank is the real thing. He now looks like he’s close to the 135lb mark, meaning he can easily drop down to 130 or 126 to go up against the top guys in those divisions. Naoya Inoue is the fighter that fans want to see Tank fight, and that match may happen.
