    Going for the KO is a risky strategy, but probably Ryan’s best chance at winning. I’m not convinced jabbing and moving is his strength. His hand speed and power are his best attributes, and I feel he should use them to its full potential if he’s gonna have a chance at KOing Tank.

    To Be Clear, “Moving” Wasn’t Meant to Insinuate KingRy Spend the Entire or Even Most of the Fight On His Blackfoot…Angles are an Example of “Moving”…

    But Again, w/the Complete DISREGARD He’s Shown for HEAD Movement to This Point, Standing Right in FRONT of Tank Unloading, Chin in the Air w/a BULLSEYE On It, Gets Garcia KO’ed Sooner, Rather Than Later…

    Garcia will probably knock him out. 5-10 N with speed and power. Either way it will be a rough night.

    Impossible fight to predict.

    Tank has shown a good chin, not great because he hasn't faced any tremendous punchers.

    Ryan had shown a worse chin, but we know he's capable of getting up and finishing the job. He didn't have to"Haney" it for 3 rounds.

    Ryan is no master boxer, but he's the fastest and hardest fighter Tank had fought. Combine that with Tank close call cherry pick with Cruz, getting outboxed by Rolly, and was behind on the cards until he ko'd Barrios leads to my conclusion....

    It's a conclusion others have reached but Garcia must fight a PERFECT fight. He may get up from a Tank punch, especially the first one that drops him, hell most do, it's the next ones that he has to worry about. On the other hand, we may see Tank hit the canvas. How will he react?

    Impossible fight to predict.

    Tank saying Garcia is on the juice after seeing a video or pic of him and he further states if finds out he's going to take matters "out of boxing." Not a good look.

    Tank still trying to be a gangster. Grow the fuck up.

    It seems Tank is questioning his bravery.....he's thinking about wanting out of the fight....doubts are creeping up.

    Am i missing something?

    On Nov. 5, 2020, around 2 a.m., Davis left a downtown club in Baltimore and drove a Lamborghini under a police escort, according to the prosecution. He then veered from the caravan and eventually ran a red light and struck the passenger side of a 2004 Toyota Solara.

    How and why does somebody get a police escort at 2 am to drive home from a night club? Not only that, they deliberately leave it?

    DECISION MAKING Ain’t Tank’s Strongest Attribute, to Put it Mildly…

    This is a Motherfucker that Grabbed a Woman By the Throat @ a Heavily Populated Charity Basketball Game, FORCIBLY Removed Her from the Room the Game was Being Played In (Again, By Her THROAT), Then Had the Temerity to Say He Took Her Into the Lobby to “Talk”…

    Acquiring, then ESCHEWING an Early AM Police Escort is Sheer IDIOCY…But It’s Tank Davis…

    Disagree- his best strategy is to outbox Tank from a distance. He can and probably will do that when they fight. Hurting Tank would be the worst thing to happen- going for the KO will open Garcia up to Tanks short but ridiculously powerful punches.

    Both have supposedly signed contracts. Time will tell if it’s right.

    I'm ordering it, but I'm far more excited for the prospect of Taylor-Lopez, because in that fight a compelling case can be made for either guy winning.

    Ryan don't have much of a chance.

    Ryan has a sharp left hook which is one of the best punches in the sport but Tank seems a couple of levels above him to be honest. I am expecting a comfortable Tank win by KO mid rounds.

    The mainstream is hype about this one. A lot of people on my Facebook are sharing the link that it's official.

    Meanwhile, guys like us are more excited that Taylor-Fimo is a done deal.

    Bookmakers made Gervonta 'Tank' Davis a strong favourite against Ryan Garcia when they meet in their bout on Saturday 22nd April 2023 at Las Vegas, United States. He is currently 2/5 (-250) to win the bout outright, while you can get 11/5 (+220) on Ryan Garcia if you fancy the upset.

    I think this fight is very difficult to predict. Ryan just looks vulnerable to big punches with his head/neck, also he keeps his hands low while throwing.

    But Tank is inactive and I feel like if he lets Garcia get into a groove he might have problems.

    Tank does have big power, but it is more that he is a precise big puncher, who definitely waits on shots...I can see Garcia outworking him, but I tend to agree with the general sentiment... he will be winning until he eats a big one.

    I gave Ryan a better chance months ago when I was still contemplating the fight. The more and more I think about it, the less and less chance I give Ryan. He simply isn't skilled and durable enough to pull this off. I'd be pretty damn surprised if he wins.

    Davis inside of 7. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Davis ends it inside of 3.
