But people forget that Tank is a top 10 pound-for-pound fighter. He&#8217;s got power in both hands. Skills-wise and technique-wise, he&#8217;s been doing this for so long. Internally, I am the most scared going into a fight that I&#8217;ve actually ever been in. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis speed, elusiveness, ring IQ, conditioning, he&#8217;s going to be sharp all the way through \u2013 the list goes on and on. Actually being vulnerable for a second is crazy and scary and keeps me up at night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) and the WBA 135-pound champion Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) will mix it up under a special set of rules that includes: 195 pounds maximum weight; 10, three-minute rounds; 12-ounce gloves. There will also be three judges ringside to announce a winner, despite it not being sanctioned as a professional fight. <\/p>\n<p>Despite some uncertainty and second-guessing, Paul believes he can pull off the victory. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe I have the power and the offense to be able to walk Tank into a knockout like I have done with other opponents,\u201d said Paul. \u201cI am fully confident in my abilities, and it will be one of the craziest upsets in a long time.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Manouk Akopyan is The Ring\u2019s lead writer.
