    He did have a tough fight with Luke Campbell and got dropped by him, and then later KO’d him with a body shot. I’d say he’s already had a taste of being in a hard fight and showing heart.

    If Ryan can keep his focus he might just be able to secure a fight with Tank next year if not this year.

    I still don’t trust his chin but I did like the fluidity and power in his combinations that he showed last night.

    Tank ain't a prime Leonard. Beating him won't be the hardest thing in the world to do.

    Ryan just has to use his range and not do anything stupid.

    I agree with X. Tank was being outboxed by Rolly most of the time before he landed that KO shot.

    Ryan has height, reach, and fast hands, and if he can prevent himself from doing something dumb (No guarantee), he has a chance.

    I wouldn’t bet on it, but he has a shot.

    This...

    Garcia's JAB Has Never Looked Better, to REED's Eyes...Particularly Against Tank, Who's Damn Near Half a FOOT Shorter, the MORE King Ry Jabs, the BETTER His Chances Are of Winning...

    Many Will HARP on the Fact Luke Campbell was an Average Punching Souf'Paw Who Dropped Garcia HARD, But Campbell Also Possessed Similar Height/Reach/Length as King Ry...It Wasn't a Chore for Campbell to TOUCH Garcia, Necessarily...Whereas, Tank Would Literally Have to LEAP, ala Floyd Patterson, to Land the SAME Shot Campbell Dropped Garcia w/...

    Is Tank CAPABLE of Such, Yes...But BANKING On That, Setting Your Watch By That Logic Ain't Wise...REED Could Easily See Tank NEEDING a KO @ Some Point of the Bout, if Garcia Listens to Goosen and Stays Behind the JAB...

    To REED, Tank-King Ry Is Damn Near Pick 'Em...@ SOME Point, Tank's Going to LAND a Left Hook and/or Uppercut on Garcia's Chin & It'll Be Interesting to SEE What Happens...But Even w/That, REED See's it as a 51-49 Fight in Tank's Favor MAX, Not Even 55-45....

    & This is Precisely WHY the Bout Needs to Happen...

    Very Likely but still a good fight to see. I think what Reed said is true in order for him to have a chance vs Tank is use his physical advantages and dont do anything stupid. In other words fight him tall. Jab Jab, and one-two's. I think Goosen is a good trainer for Ryan. Eddie is overrated because of Canelo.

    The weight is gonna be very important. Perhaps the deciding factor.

    135 significantly favors Tank.

    140 Ryan has a good chance considering he's so much bigger than Davis.

    Don't know what to make of Garcia. I felt he looked quite stiff and overanxious but he obviously has speed and power. I suspect he will have success as long as he dwarfes his opponents. At 140, it will be much more difficult and will depends on how much heart he has. Even then, I think he's toasted at 147 and higher either way.
