[Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023)

[Jating]

@Yaunfitda. Agreed. They might not be the champions and the kings of their weight divisions, however, they have the biggest names. This is very much similar to Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz in the UFC, I reckon. It can also be argued that this fight might be as big or bigger than Spence vs. Crawford in excitement and expectation for the fans.

Yeah, they might not be champions but this is what hard core fans of this sweet science is longing for as well as the ordinary fans, they want to see toe to toe actions which for me this fight if pushes through could deliver the actions. I reckon that this is an even match, though Davis is the experienced fighter but Garcia has the size advantage that if used well could make life hard for Davis.

I just hope though that this would push through this time and not just hype on social media and end up like the Spence vs Crawford negotiation.

True, no belts, at least the regular one and yet this is one of the most anticipated fight, everyone is waiting for this, just like when we are all excited by the Spence vs Crawford fight. And I do agree that this is a 50:50 fight in my book, as Tank and Ryan possesses power in this division, the fight is going to be made in a catchweight of 136 lbs. As Ryan said he can't make it to 135 lbs no more and if I'm not mistaken he fought Tagoe at a catchweight at well. While Garcia fought at 135 lbs against Rolly Romero, he has a experience fighting at 140 lbs against Barrios.

I don't think Tank vs Garcia is 50:50, maybe it's true in the bookies the odds will be close since Garcia has a lot fans that interested to watch him because he's handsome and he has a power to knock out low technical boxer. But Tank is different and Garcia will very struggle to fight him, he can't just rely with his physical power only. I'm pretty sure a real boxing fans will put their bet on Tank. except the odds is really low and it doesn't worth to bet Tank.

I think its better for OP to lock this thread, we have the latest Tank fight discussion, and it's again a different Garcia after the fight we can open the thread again to continue to discuss the Ryan Garcia - Tank Davis fight, The Hector Luis Garcia obviously is a cherry-picked fight but the guy is undefeated and can hold against tough opponents/

He is being groomed to be the next Oscar Dela Hoya by no less than Oscar himself, lot of fans in his social media account and he was event called a social media champion.

But as he said, to gain the respect that he deserves, he need to fight and defeat Tank Davis. And this will be goal, catch weight or not, this is going to be a great fight for us.

Ryan Garcia a really a different player in Boxing industry. The way I saw his trainings which are really payong off his career and is evident to his record and performance in the 'square'. I won't underestimate Tank Davis as a contender and for being a champ for three divisions or weight classes, it is just that Ryan is more of 'something' on my perspective.

There are fights which were sooner discussed than this and that I think is not a problem. We cannot blame people if they are more looking forward into this one. I am as well more excited than this match up because it is somewhat a battle between talents of this generation in the field of Boxing (just my perspective, I don't wanna ruin others').

It does mean that Ryan Garcia vs. Davis is not finalized correct?

The Garcia they're saying in the OP's link I guess is not Ryan. They got people confused about all this mess. Though Davis will give his best to provide an entertaining fight, fans will still be asking for Ryan. This is still disappointing not to see Ry King fighting someone at his level.

[deathcode]

It is official and I reckon that this fight can be bigger than Errol Spence vs. Terence Crawford with the proper marketing and promotion.




Boxing fans will get at least one of the big fights they want in 2023.

Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia announced through their Instagram accounts Thursday that their representatives have completed a deal for the popular knockout artists to meet in a much-discussed showdown on a date to be determined in 2023. Their 12-round fight, which will be contested at a catch weight of 136 pounds, will be a Showtime Pay-Per-View main event from an undetermined venue in Las Vegas.

It appears the sportsbooks are listing Tank Davis as the favorite. However, this is only the beginning. The odds might change when the fans from Mexico and the women start betting hehehehe.



Bookmakers made Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis a favourite against Ryan Garcia in a potential future bout between the pair, when they last released odds on November 17, 2022.

He is currently 4/9 (-230) to win the bout outright, while you can get 31/20 (+150) on Ryan Garcia if you fancy the small upset.

Source https://box.live/boxing-betting/davis-vs-garcia-odds/

That means that oddsmakers think there is 64% chance of Davis winning while giving Garcia a 36% chance.

Finally one of the interesting battles worth waiting for between Tank and Ryan.
This is a breath of fresh air for boxing fans after what happened with Spence and Crawford.
I really hope they will actually fight and not just bullshit in the end.
I hope there will be an official date and poster for their fight soon.
I think Ryan will have to try really hard to fight Tank the knockout king.
I wish Tank could show Ryan how ruthless his knockout streak is.

That is correct, I'm under the notion that once Davis win against Hector Luis Garcia, Ryan will be his next opponent. Although our big question is why Davis need a tune up fight that is close to his fight with KingRy in May. Maybe the May date might be push a little bit further to give time for Tank Davis to recover and train for Ryan Garcia. And I understand the confusion because he will be fighting boxers with the same last name. But Davis can boast that he beat both of them later.

This is the first time I read that two fighters with the same surname are set to fight one guy after the other, but we all know that these two Garcias are not related and they do not have the same fighting style, it's not the surname but the style and power are what Tank is going to deal with if Tank needs a tune fight Ryan might as well go for a tune-up fight too, what happened here is very similar to what Crawford did he is trying to make a deal then all of a sudden he has a new opponent popping up and surprising all of us, the Ryan Garcia - Tank Davis is still a fresh news when this Hector Garcia suddenly pop up.

Ryan Garcia will also have another match before this highly anticipate fight between Davis right? I’m not sure though but it can be a good preparation for their big fight. Anyway, Davis seems to be the favorite here looking at the numbers but it can’t tell the result, we know that both of then are undefeated and great, so this up coming fight is really exciting, Ryan Garcia should start preparing now and look for good strategies to beat Davis. I’ll go for Ryan on this match, against the odds.

It's okay that they have their tune fights before they clash as long as they hold on to their promise that they are going to meet this year, Tank is the most sought-after to fight, first, there's Rolly who he beat, and now Ryan who he will also likely to beat
even Isaac Cruz wants to have a rematch, this caption Ryan tries to prove that he is the one who wants to make the fight happens.

This fight between Davis and Hector Garcia is already a go, i mean this would push through as scheduled but the fight with Ryan Garcia in April or May next year might not push through as Davis will be facing a trial this February 2023 for a hit and run case which sources have said that it is pretty serious that Davis will be in prison if guilty for four to one year so that means that he could not fight next year after the Hector Garcia fight.

I'm not aware that Ryan will also have a tune up fight before the Davis clash.

And that is why it's a surprised to most boxing fans here that Davis will have another Garcia in his calendar. Nevertheless, it shows confusion as it was just days before they announced a Ryan Garcia fight is almost done or have been sealed already. And then Hector Garcia came into the picture.

I know that Davis has some problems with the law, and with that, are they anticipating that he will be found guilty, that's why they push for the Hector Garcia fight first?

No, there is no scheduled or tune up fight from Ryan Garcia, he wanted to go straight to Tank.

An with that, there is no preparation that he will like before Tank Davis. Maybe you can ask him today and says that he is ready to fight him tomorrow. That's how Ryan being obsessed with a Davis fight, again it's because we wanted to have the respect when he fight and beat Tank. And of course, he is also motivated on the money that both of them are going to earn in this clash.

[yazher]

There is no doubt that this fight is one of the most exciting fights next year but why they are taking too long to prepare for this one? I mean, it's more than 6 months of preparation, are they not gonna fight one or two more fights after that? This is not really recommended because injuries can happen in practice and training and it might lead to postponing or changing the boxer who is supposed to fight them.

even Isaac Cruz wants to have a rematch, this caption Ryan tries to prove that he is the one who wants to make the fight happens.

This fight is years in the making as far as I read, Ryan Garcia had been chasing Davis for years now, I think since 2017 when he was still not that popular and Davis although replied on Ryan's tweet, ignored him because Davis thinks that Ryan is still too young and inexperience that time, Davis even called Ryan a kid.  At the same time, Davis thinks that fighting Ryan in the future will produce more income than fighting him at that date.  

I believe Ryan should be thankful that Davis just ignored his call out since it would have destroyed Ryan by that time.  Even Ryan Garcia's promoter Oscar Dela Hoya thinks that Ryan wasn't ready at that time.


Fast forward, I still believe Davis has an advantage here, although he is the shorter guy and has a disadvantage on reach.  Davis has quick reflexes and has a good variety of angled punches that can go through his opponent's defense.  What more worth noticing is the ability of Davis to feint and directly redirect his punches to where he wanted to land it. You can check this video[1] on how good Davis is at feinting and hitting the target at the same time.

The only problem with Davis is his discipline.  I think he will be in trouble if he messed up in meeting the weight requirement because he will be chasing the required weight and will possibly over-exert himself making him not 100% condition on the fight.

Although I think Davis has the advantage, we can still say that there is a huge possibility of an upset win.  Since Ryan Garcia is also a KO artist and he has also good reflexes as seen in this video[2] .  I believe the key factor here will be the one who has faster reflexes.

Anyway, this video[3] is a good watch if we are curious how the Ryan Garcia - Tank Davis developed into a possible a Billion Dollar fight.

I believe this statement by Ryan Garcia is an overstatement.  Beating Davis doesn't put him to be the best boxer in the world.  It may put him to be one of the best boxers but the best boxer, I think he needs to beat a lot more boxer in the higher division.

Long preparation means a better chance for them to be 100% during the fight. This is a big fight so it deserves a long preparation, and although it's hard to predict who will win for sure we can expect that this fight is going to be a very exciting one. I would be surprise if there will be no knockdowns in this fight.

[Blawpaw]

Although the odds are clearly on the Tank's side, KingRy can be surprising. This will be one of the most awaited next year's fight and there is already a lot of speculation around the fight.

Both athletes should be on the same mindset towards winning, so in that regard, they have about the same motivation. The value bet should be on KingRy side, however he's winning chances are shy. You can check the best odds and even calculate your own predictions here.

It's called a superlight and I understand why Davis is a slight favorite here because he had some good matchups in his pasts few games compared to Ryan Garcia who rested due to mental health issues and came back fighting boxers who are not legit champions.

Me, I'm expecting a knockout here, both are aggressive and they will really test each other in throwing solid combinations,
It's the executions that will make one of them win the fight.

Yeah, long preparation will give both fighters enough time to review all the tapes that they need to observe and assess if
how the opponents will possibly create their strategy.

It will be a very interesting fought as these two are really calling each other and really wanted to test their respective capabilities.
