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

[Shamm]

From https://www.espn.ph/boxing/

Garcia in an interview said that he will knock out Davis, he is going to do that early but if that will not happen this fight is going to be a slugfest. What do you think about his statement? is he really capable of Knocking an undefeated Tank Davis?

I do think that he is more capable of knocking out anyone not only Davis and he has proven that as well. He has a very quick left hook, for sure you will see a lot of highlights from Ryan Garcia in youtube with that power.

He can KO Davis if he can hurt him, thing is, Davis will not be a champion if he is not a great fighter, and at the same time he will not be undefeated if he is not good. Also, if you look at the betting odds, Davis is the heavy favorite, so in the eyes of the bettors, he is the better fighter.

We all know that Ryan Garcia is the underdog here, what's he trying to do, does he wants to be the favorite on this fight by convincing people he can KO Davis?

It's obvious that he is trying to hype the fight right now, we know how he is really attach to his fans in his social media, so he is good at really hyping any fight of his when he open his mouth.

Hype is necessary in order to sell the fight, so it's not something new, they can throw trash-talk against each other and that's just normal.

Yes you are right that mate it's obvious that Davis will be the more favorite in this fight because he is the champion and Garcia will be the underdog  but for me Davis will win in this match as we all know how he fight and also he is is undefeated in right now so it's a big advantage for him to win in fight as he can defeat Garcia easily by his power and good strategy.

Obviously we are thinking that Davis is favorite and more likely to be the winner of this match.  But we should not underestimate Ryan Garcia for he has proven himself to his previous opponents.  Besides his height and reach advantage (Ryan Garcia) is huge which can be the key factor in Ryan winning the fight.  Look at the height difference, a 10 cm difference , (168cm Davis, 178cm Garcia), and the 3 cm reach difference (175cm Davis, 178 cm Ryan)  is enough for Ryan to execute his outside fighting style.  If Davis is unable to fend off the jobs, straight and hooked of Ryan Garcia, and if Ryan maintains the distance between them, we might see Davis kissing the canvas if ever Davis can't absorb strong punches of Ryan.

Ryan Garcia talking about Davis's unable to reach him makes sense because of his reach and height advantage and if Ryan plays it smart of keeping Davis at bay with his job and straight punches together with his footwork and lateral movements.

Not sure if his particular statement can be considered as boasting because Tank Davis is really not that easy to defeat and defeating him by a KO is definitely a difficult task to pull off. I know that Ryan Garcia is a KO artist but that alone won't be an advantage in his favor because Tank Davis is also a KO artist and in fact, the latter got more chances than him.

Well, about the Ryan's capability, he can surely have the skill set to defeat Davis and so does the latter too. This fight will be determined if whoever catches the right timing first to pull that KO punch that will turn the tables to their favor.

So far, Davis would be one of the strongest opponents of Garcia that he has to face with.
This is why, this match if with proper marketing, they can really attract a lot of boxing fans to pay for this fight.
I also believe that Garcia will be the underdog here, though the gap of odds may not be far from each other.
This will tell us what is the caliber now of Garcia in this sports. Is he ready to face high profile boxers in his division?

Ryan Garcia talking about Davis's unable to reach him makes sense because of his reach and height advantage and if Ryan plays it smart of keeping Davis at bay with his job and straight punches together with his footwork and lateral movements.

That is the keyword there, play "smart" against Davis, meaning he has to used all the physical advantage that he had, like height and reach and make it very hard for Davis to come inside because that's how Davis knocking out his opponent out, getting closer and then boom, quick punch, end of the fight.

So Ryan should make the fight in the middle of the ring as well, then uses his jab more often to let Davis feel it and make him uncomfortable. And as the saying goes, style makes fight and this one is one classic example of it.

I know that Ryan Garcia is a KO artist but that alone won't be an advantage in his favor because Tank Davis is also a KO artist and in fact, the latter got more chances than him.

It is sure boasting, and at the same time boosting or hyping the fight to get people's interest.  I think Ryan is capable of knocking his opponent, we had seen it already but the thing is, is Ryan Garcia capable of landing those hard punches?  We all know Davis is a slick fighter.  He has good lateral movement, fast reflexes and stingy punches especially his upper cut.  I think once Davis got on the right position for his favorite uppercut, Ryan Garcia's unblemished career would end.

Well, about the Ryan's capability, he can surely have the skill set to defeat Davis and so does the latter too. This fight will be determined if whoever catches the right timing first to pull that KO punch that will turn the tables to their favor.

Yeah, they are both capable boxers, but Davis has more experience and knows how to tackle taller boxers.

That is the keyword there, play "smart" against Davis, meaning he has to used all the physical advantage that he had, like height and reach and make it very hard for Davis to come inside because that's how Davis knocking out his opponent out, getting closer and then boom, quick punch, end of the fight.

but the thing is, can Garcia keep Davis at bay?  Davis is a quick fighter, so I believe he can easily close in while evading Garcia's punches.  Once Davis is inside, I think Garcia would be a sitting duck since the close quarter is where the the longer reach become disadvantage.

I think it already created a hype for casual boxing fans as well, Garcia, good looking, has the social media presence, been calling Davis for so long now. For sure when this news broke out, everything is really looking for this big fan at 135 lbs or catch weight.

Might be with proper marketing, this could be one of the biggest fight in 2023. Two young fighters, who seems to be really hating each other. So there will be a lot of trash talking and bad mouthing between this two when they promote this fight.

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

I will agree with these odds and bet for Tank.

Compared to Garcia, his combos and movement seem way more composed and technical, and being a southpaw doesn't hurt his changes. While Garcia seem to rely on his natural unpolished talent, and just raw aggressive fast style, using surprisingly quick and powerful attacks even as a defence. Even though those look clumsy compared to Tank, he seem to get ton of power under them somehow.

My guess is that Garcia's style of defence won't work agaisnt technically skilled combos by Tank. Garcia's aggressive style is intimidating but very much defeatable and while his height and reach seem to do add to that and give him confidence, it's all appearances and something that can be taken away fast.

Good marketing = to big ticket sales and PPV. I see your point as both are keep chasing with each other around social media and those fans who love seeing them inside the ring will surely buy tickets.

More on publicity, any trash talks that came from one fighter will be followed and will have reactions from their respective fans. For sure, there are fans that will try to add up to make it more discussable.

waiting for next year if these fights will proceed..

If we are going to be in the technical side, I will say that Tank is more polished, but if we are talking about raw talent, Garcia could be the man here. So it's close but yeah, if the odd markers are going for Tank at 64% then could be true.

Nevertheless, Garcia has been asking for this fight years ago and in several interviews, prior to this one that he will going to beat and knock Tank Davis out. So let's see if that confidence of his will be enough when they face in the ring because he will be the underdog.

I don't feel that Garcia is the underdog because if you look at his fights, he is still very dominant just like Davis. So I view this fight as an even fight, but of course, Bookies are just doing their job so they have to make someone the favorite and the other is the underdog. Anyway, if you bet on Ryan Garcia, I think you should bet now as odds might change as the fight is getting closer.

Bookies though can make this fight a 50/50 if they want too, but remember there are sports bookies that really need to set a favorite so that they will have to win, so it won't be a 50/50 in the end.

And also they can monitor is something is not right, if there is a swing odd or big chance. And so we might say that this is going to be a close fight as this fighters can really put each one to sleep, just saying. Davis dangerous weapon is his upper cut, but Ryan's left hook is also over powering.

I don't think so about it because we all know that every gambler or people around the the world knows the weakness and strength of these both fighter which is when they compared it then they can choose who is their favorite in this two fighter then if the odds are favored by those who think that fighter can win, then for sure they will not choose 50/50 off the odds but for me I think Davis will be the favorite here.

What a great way of describing both boxers, you surely have aced the pie mate!

What you said was correct, Ryan Garcia is just relying on his raw predictable skills, he is just using his speed to create an opening to give deadly punches that will surprise his foes but this will be different because Tank Davis is not yet on his dictionary. He haven't yet fought another boxer who got more skillset and talent than him, that is why Ryan got almost no advantage other than his size which certainly means that his chances against Tank Davis is not that pretty.

[mirakal]

Not sure if his particular statement can be considered as boasting because Tank Davis is really not that easy to defeat and defeating him by a KO is definitely a difficult task to pull off. I know that Ryan Garcia is a KO artist but that alone won't be an advantage in his favor because Tank Davis is also a KO artist and in fact, the latter got more chances than him.

Well, about the Ryan's capability, he can surely have the skill set to defeat Davis and so does the latter too. This fight will be determined if whoever catches the right timing first to pull that KO punch that will turn the tables to their favor.

So far, Davis would be one of the strongest opponents of Garcia that he has to face with.

This will tell us what is the caliber now of Garcia in this sports. Is he ready to face high profile boxers in his division?

To answer that question, this might be Ryan Garcia's last fight in the lightweight division before moving formally to the super-light because he cannot meet the required weight anymore and that is the reason why this fight is just a catchweight. And regarding about his readiness, still not sure if he is in fact already ready to face a much stronger opponents because this is his first time fighting with the likes of Davis's caliber which is way more above than his own level, I guess we will find that out together soon on their fight.

Same here.

Compared to Garcia, his combos and movement seem way more composed and technical, and being a southpaw doesn't hurt his changes. While Garcia seem to rely on his natural unpolished talent, and just raw aggressive fast style, using surprisingly quick and powerful attacks even as a defence. Even though those look clumsy compared to Tank, he seem to get ton of power under them somehow.

I watched Garcia's fight, indeed he is still unpolished, he relies on job and straight punches, while his hooked punches often landed on the illegal area of his opponent (back of the head)  But there is no denying that even though they are unpolished, there is a massive force behind those punches.  Garcia is capable to knock out his opponent especially if his unintentional illegal blows on the back of the head connect and the referee just ignored it.

My guess is that Garcia's style of defence won't work agaisnt technically skilled combos by Tank. Garcia's aggressive style is intimidating but very much defeatable and while his height and reach seem to do add to that and give him confidence, it's all appearances and something that can be taken away fast.

That depends on the performance of Davis.  If he still has that quickness then Davis can get easily inside Ryan and land him an uppercut or hook to the body.  Though I disagree that height and reaches are just appearances, they are key factor to winning if the boxer know how to use them.

And that's what make this fight very interesting and intriguing to say the least. Both has the ability and has his own skillset. Although Ryan is taller, but somewhat he doesn't have the movement, he just chase his opponent and Davis might caught him with his upper cut or even a left hook.

Not sure what Goosen's strategy for Ryan because they really need to have a plan as they can't go right directly on that power of Tank just like what Rolly Romero did. He thinks that he can take Take the power, but he was very wrong because once it hit his chin, it was over. And Ryan jaw has been tested already, although he recuperated, at least he has taste the canvass already and it was a left hook that put him down.

Yes, they can if they really wanted to do it but that would defeat the reasons why they are the bookies in the first place, let's not forget why they are called bookies and they surely do not want to get losses than wins against the bettors. Just like us, the bettors, we will find some way to get some profits out of our bets. Also, it's really hard to think that Ryan Garcia will be the favorite here rather than the regular champion, Gervonta Daivs. It's highly unlikely that the challenger will be listed as the favorite.

I think it will be good if Garcia will be the betting underdog? for his backers this is a chance to win, so we will see who's going to be on top as per betting. And this is going to be interesting, not just on crypto sports bookies, but in Las Vegas wherein it is the center of all betting. We might see some whales putting big money on either side as the fight gets closer.

I have yet to hear the tune up fight for Ryan though, as compare to Tank who already has a fight in Hector Garcia in January.

There are a lot of 135 to 140 lbs that is willing to face Ryan, no doubt, but it should be a cherry pick fight, in my opinion.

While Garcia seem to rely on his natural unpolished talent, and just raw aggressive fast style, using surprisingly quick and powerful attacks even as a defence. Even though those look clumsy compared to Tank, he seem to get ton of power under them somehow.

My guess is that Garcia's style of defence won't work agaisnt technically skilled combos by Tank. Garcia's aggressive style is intimidating but very much defeatable and while his height and reach seem to do add to that and give him confidence, it's all appearances and something that can be taken away fast.

What a great way of describing both boxers, you surely have aced the pie mate!

What you said was correct, Ryan Garcia is just relying on his raw predictable skills, he is just using his speed to create an opening to give deadly punches that will surprise his foes but this will be different because Tank Davis is not yet on his dictionary. He haven't yet fought another boxer who got more skillset and talent than him, that is why Ryan got almost no advantage other than his size which certainly means that his chances against Tank Davis is not that pretty.

We all know that Davis is a quick boxer, and has very good footwork and reflexes.  But never estimate Ryan Garcia because he too has his own set of quickness.  And we don't know which one is quicker.  Besides, it is possible that each camp is studying the weakness of their opponent so we might be in for a big surprise if we see a different Garcia in the fight.  From interviews and videos, Garcia seem pretty comfortable saying that he can beat Davis in two round, it is probably to intimidate or irritate Davis but it looks like Ryan is very serious about it. So it is really interesting to see if Ryan can deliver what he stated.

And that's what make this fight very interesting and intriguing to say the least. Both has the ability and has his own skillset. Although Ryan is taller, but somewhat he doesn't have the movement, he just chase his opponent and Davis might caught him with his upper cut or even a left hook.

That is what I am saying, both fighters have their set of skills, we never know who has better sets or who counters who.  So as of now all we can do is cite weakness and strength of each boxer together with what we think the possible result is.  Ryan can just play passively, throwing jobs while moving back, releasing straight and hook whenever the opportunity arises.  He might not able to KO Davis in this strategy but he might outpoint him winning the fight.  After all boxing is also like a chess who ever reacts and adopt perfectly to the situation will surely be the winner.

Not sure what Goosen's strategy for Ryan because they really need to have a plan as they can't go right directly on that power of Tank just like what Rolly Romero did. He thinks that he can take Take the power, but he was very wrong because once it hit his chin, it was over. And Ryan jaw has been tested already, although he recuperated, at least he has taste the canvass already and it was a left hook that put him down.

Yeah, Ryan was floored but recovered during the bout against Campbell ( if I am not mistaken).  Ryan just got lucky because he is able to recuperate and his opponent failed to take advantage of the opportunity.
