I definitely feel where Tank is coming from. I’m from Baltimore Maryland myself. It’s a rough place. So many killings and you have to watch your back everywhere you go. Too many haters in the City. I was in the foster care system myself at the age of 16 and it was rough. Bouncing around from group home to group home, and multiple foster homes as well. Also, ending up becoming homeless but Fast forward to now, I am happy I was able to move out of state due to my safety and that way I can grow (mentally, physically, educationally, and spiritually). I am currently one semester away from graduating college. All while being 30 years old now but age it ain’t nothing but a number to those who want to make a difference in their lives. God is so good. I am also doing taekwondo and a purple belt and plan on making it to the big stage someday like the olympics.

I'm so proud of Gervante Davis .Im from Baltimore and my life was not as hard as he's by any means but I still had a rough life as far as violence. I lived it so I don't need to talk about it, but real ones know ,so they feel me.But I'm never been in group homes or foster homes and I know how bad that is because my family members have been through it so I'm so Proud of Gervante to b where hes at and achieve what he has.Its amazing to me.I represent Baltimore heart and soul and if u ain't from here u don't understand .So Gervate u know we love u and we got your back.

Comin from Se dc hoods and being in several foster homes and residing in a screening center transitional home I truly understand the effects of his upbringing so kudos to tank !🎉 one last note the foster homes I stayed and lived in were mostly really good experiences where the people really accepted me like family especially mrs Fannie Mae price aka big momma who became my surrogate mom ❤ , I say this because I realize that other people in the system had horror stories and didn’t fare so well . Congratulations to you tank keep climbing!

When people blow up the incidents he's had it angers me because I'm from where he's from. Not Baltimore but the gutter so I know it could be a million times worse. So instead of judging, be patient with him and teach him. I'm a GTD supporter 4 Life🦍

Great fighter, one of the best right now, one of my favourites, but it is very sad his best fight so far is Ryan García, Teofimo Lopez at his 23 years already beat Lomachenko and Josh Taylor at 26. Bam Rodríguez is 23 and beat Rungvisai and Cuadras, is now unifiyng vs Sunny Edwards. Now Gervonta is 29. Canelo was 23 when he fought Floyd. I wander if Mayweather is not making more damage (promoting him as a PPV fighter, just making money vs lesser opossition) than helping him to be an all time great
