    Looking more and more likely December. Though of course, it's Ryan, so December is an eternity away. Seems as though Tank demanded 135, and Ryan is giving in.

    What's sad is, Davis-Garcia is gonna outsell Bud-Spence.

    Davis is gonna mess Ryan up if it happens. I have a feeling he'll drop a few rounds on activity and against Ryan's reach, but he'll land before five and it won't last much longer than that.

    I think Davis will KO him but I’m not gonna rule out Ryan’s chances completely. Tank isn’t on the level of Shakur and if he takes too long to get started, Ryan might have too many rounds in the bag.

    Agreed. Seems unlikely Garcia can stay focused for long enough to avoid taking a bomb.

    KingRy has the talent to box-bot Tank to death. Of course he could plod forward ponderously which means Tank khtfko him

    I think Ryan's only chance was at 140. He's a big kid, and Tank is too small at 140. Ryan would have still been an underdog, but he would have been a live underdog.

    His odds are bleak at 135. I wouldn't say he has zero chance, but his chances aren't good.

    Ryan's only chance of winning is to use his height and reach to his advantage. We still haven't seen Ryan fight a top level fighter yet so I'm not fully convinced of his chances against Tank, although I wouldn't say it's impossible. Tank either destroys Garcia or Garcia puts on a surprising performance.

    Rolly was giving Tank the business until he walked into that left hand. I don't think Ryan's odds are impossible. The issue for Ryan is, the idiot doesn't know how to keep his head off center. Tank's gonna nail him eventually. But, maybe, just maybe, Ryan can catch Tank with a check hook coming in and take him out. He does have a good check hook, I'll give him that.

    The latter is possible, but the former is more likely.

    Yeah I think Ryan size advantages coupled with speed and skill is too much for Gervonta.

    Davis should be the favourite but Garcia is fast and has power, he could outbox Davis and even catch him with something he doesn’t see coming.

    I hope these two Maricones will finally get it on this year…it’s frustrating being a boxing fan….

    Yup. There’s so many GOOD fights out there. Instead we get to crap like GGG-Canelo 3 and a rematch of Kambosos getting schooled. And everyone else on their 4th ‘tune-up’ in a row.

    We need shit like Tank-Garcia, Fimo-Haney (or Fimo-Taylor/Prograis if he stays at 140), Loma back in the mix, Spence-Crawford, Virgil Ortiz vs a top5 guy.

    This is truly a tough test for both, Ryan and tank have differences in styles but are both as equally confident in their abilities
