Kenny Ellis believes Tank can outbox Loma if he wanted to.

It’s only been two weeks since Gervonta Davis fought, but it’s already been all but confirmed that Tank’s next opponent will be Vasiliy Lomachenko. At least, that’s what all of the reports are pointing to.

Davis has barely been able to celebrate what was yet another stunning knockout victory, this time against Frank Martin. Davis once again showed his elite power. The manner in which he won has become the norm for Tank, with some wondering if we’ll ever see him have to use more of his technical side in any fight.

Boxing coach Kenny Ellis says Tank can outbox Loma

Davis’ trainer Kenny Ellis has heard the whispers from fans that Lomachenko can “outbox” Davis, but he isn’t having any of it.

Gervonta Davis can outbox Lomachenko, but no: We’re going to knock his a** out so take that psychology somewhere else… When you hear Lomachenko fans and Gervonta critics say the only way Gervonta Davis can beat Lomachenko is by knockout. That’s because they really want Gervonta Davis to prove them wrong by boxing Lomachenko because they really don’t want Gervonta to bring that smoke.

Ellis believes Davis’ ring IQ is better than anyone gives him credit for, but he’s adamant that the general philosophy for Tank won’t change if him and Loma face off: knockout or nothing.

That type of gameplan has clearly worked for Davis up until this point. Tank has 28 knockouts in 30 career fights and is yet to lose a bout. Lomachenko has never been knocked out, but it wouldn’t be the first time Davis creates a first for another boxer.
