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

[Baofeng]

And that's the true advantage right there because even though Garcia have the size advantage, Davis here is already accustomed fighting with that scenario and surely he prepared for it because he knows that there will be some times that he'll get to fight with other boxers that are much taller than him and he doesn't want that his size will be the one who will give him the disadvantage despite the KO power he had.

The reach difference isn't small, and I think that is what Ryan Garcia is working out.  Making use of all his advantages.  If executed properly, I think Gervonta Davis may have difficulty moving around and closing into Ryan Garcia.

Ryan Garcia should be careful and I expect the best from him because he had to cancel his fight with Mercito Gesta just train and prepare straightly for his fight with Tank Davis. And yes, I also think that this bout won't be needing a full 12 rounds.

This skipped fight with Ryan Garcia may take a toll on him.  The fight against Gesta is a good way to test his training, there is a possibility of signs of ring rust too because of too much idleness before Ryan's fight against Gervonta.  I think Ryan is getting too confident that can possibly work against him.

I agree, if Ryan will take that advantage of is, being long and used his jab even further in this fight, stiff and strong jab that will let Davis very uncomfortable and can't execute his game play then Ryan might have a chance to win.

And then probably Davis will adjust too maybe in the middle of the fight, maybe put more pressure on Ryan and push him to make that one mistake and then he deliver his knock out, just like what he did against Romero. Very cautious but then when Rolly goes after him, Davis saw that opportunity. So there could be rounds of adjustment for both fighter, and it could be a chess match in the beginning.

Hopefully this time Ryan Garica already know how to utilize fully his reach and size advantage against Tank Davis, the latter will surely have a hard time reaching if Garcia will do that but yes, just like what you guys said, Davis will learn in the middle of the fight and probably already found a loophole how to get near with Ryan Garcia to execute his deadly punches. This will be a battle brains because they are both deadly, Ryan Garcia should also learn not to chase when Davis is backing up because even stepping backward, Davis is known to get his opponents KOd in that situation.

However if Tank begins to pressure Ryan, it might also give Ryan some opportunities for a step back before left hook. How is Tank Davis' jaw because it might be also be his test. There are already many people who speculate that Ryan has a glass jaw, but how is Tank's jaw?

According to this article Ryan wants Tank to knock out Hector Garcia out cold hehe. Is Ryan pressuring Tank?

Probably, Ryan Garcia was just messing Tank Davis in his head to finish the fight much earlier than anybody is expecting it to be. This young blood should just focus in his preparation for their upcoming fight because I bet he will be having some mental issues again if he will get embarrassed in this fight, too playing won't help him in his goal because Tank Davis is a critical thinker, he can't fathom it because Ryan Garcia is yet to come in that state.
Talking about their jaw, Ryan was already revealed that his jaw can be crack easily, while Davis's jaw is still unknown but I reckon is much sturdier than the Ryan.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Or maybe he is just focusing on boxing to conquer his depression and other mental problems that will lead him in an unwanted situation, either way, I'm glad that he is looking sharp and back in business to face the heavy names. This maybe his first time but I know that he can do this properly because every champion was once a challenger too, so there's really a first time for everything. I just hope that there would be no problems along the way.

He started his journey too early, he received too much attention at a young age, in addition, there is a lot of tension before the fights, so not everyone is able to endure such psychological stress. But it is clear that he coped well with this, that what does not kill us makes us stronger. Whether he is ready for the battle with the Tank is a very difficult question. When I watch an interview with Garsis, I see that he believes that he is ready, and this is very important, but I see that Tank is a more experienced opponent and he is stronger at the moment.

As long as he is ready, expect a 100% performance of Garcia. He cannot make an excuse that he is dealing with a mental problem if he losses his fight, this is big for him, so as an undefeated fighter, he will certainly make sure to continue that way. Tank is definitely a tough opponent, but about the experience, I think it's not a big deal.

24 yrs old vs 28 yrs old, both are young boxers and champions, this is very unpredictable.

Well, regarding these two high-level boxers, for me it is much more influential to go in favor of García, Tank is a great boxer and some people say that Tank is far ahead of García, for me it is a fight that will be very exciting It is one of the fights that I think could make a difference, I don't know, but I think that now, since many have speculated that García is not quite at Tank's level, they say that he has to face another average before him.

From the videos I've seen, Tank has great fighting power, but I think Garcia can give him a good fight, Tank may have the favoritism, but Garcia has a great level.

And that's the true advantage right there because even though Garcia have the size advantage, Davis here is already accustomed fighting with that scenario and surely he prepared for it because he knows that there will be some times that he'll get to fight with other boxers that are much taller than him and he doesn't want that his size will be the one who will give him the disadvantage despite the KO power he had.

Well, each boxer has his weak point, but here, honestly, it would seem to me a very last resort move to go for his weak point, because they are saying it for a reason, easy if they win by attacking the weak point, the losing boxer can claim that he he won by attacking his vulnerability and that he focused there, in the case of any boxer I would not attack him there just to avoid that, partly they are details that are sometimes not so relevant, but for a fight like this, where there have been so many discussions and things are said between them, I don't see it as appropriate, apparently both boxers have the same weak point.

And each one says things to himself in his own way:

Hector Garcia says he’ll beat Tank Davis by being “smarter fighter”

Hector states that he wasn’t worried last week when he heard the news about Gervonta being arrested. Since it was something he had no control over, Garcia didn’t feel any concern about the fight possibly being canceled. He felt that even if the contest was called off, he would have found another opponent to fight

“I feel really good, and positive in the mindset and ready to give the fans what they want on Saturday night,” said Hector Luis Garcia to Fight Hub TV about how he feels physically ahead of his contest against Gervonta ‘Tank Davis.

“I’m going to be the smarter fighter, and I’m going to go out with my hand raised through the biggest door possible,” said Hector when asked why he thinks he’s going to beat Tank Davis on Saturday night.

That has not to be told, it's already given, I mean you need to be smart in order to win the fight. This isn't his first fight, I'm pretty sure he is using his intelligence everytime he stepped up in the ring. The question here, what if Tank Davis is still smarter than him, then how can he beat Davis?

And if Hector beats Davis then Hector is smarter.  
Both of them are just a punch away from losing but the probability of Hector losing the game is much higher since we already know their boxing skills.
Also this is just a preparation for Davis fight against Ryan, consider this training for Davis and Hector is there to act as an inflated bag for punching.

I don't think he is messing though, I mean that's what he has been saying for many years, 2 rounds and he will knockout Davis. Perhaps this was due to Ryan knocking out opponents in round 1 back to back. I remember Duno, who also says that he will knock out Ryan, but he was done in round 1 and that makes Ryan very confident in knocking down his opponent early. He was crack by Luke Campbell, but he has great recuperating power from a punch, because after that big test, he was able to knockout Campbell with that huge body punch in the ribs.

He probably wants the public to hype Tank more if Tank could KO his opponent in round 1, and at the same time he will get more appreciation if he could also knock out Tank Davis in 3 rounds, hehe. it's possible with Garcia's power but this is Tank Davis, a great fighter who is a KO artist.

Trash talk or anything like that would add fire to the potential fight, but it will be more fun to watch then on the ring giving their best.

Just some couple of words to pressure Tank in defeating Hector early because if their fight will finish much longer, the hype will belong to Ryan Garcia and that's what he wanted because Ryan Garcia is like a self centered kid in my perspective who wanted to gather attention. But if Tank manages to finish the fight much earlier, it will still benefit Ryan Garcia because he's still be included in the upcoming scenario where people is expecting a good fight as both of them is a knockout artist.

Ryan Garcia can talk some trash out of Davis but the latter won't be affected, he's just too accustomed in those kind of things. But Ryan Garcia, I don't know, the kid has yet faced embarrassments.

Well, once smarter, always the winner of course.  But let’s wait and see if who will be the king in the ring once again and remain undefeated up to last and final round. I am still rooting for Davis despite of the issues he has been into, I think his performance will always be outstanding with regards to Hector’s performance in the ring.

I think the issues of Tank is not going to affect him in this fight as it has been settled already and it's too late to affect hi as the fight is going to happen as plan this Saturday night.

I'm not really sure what Hector Garcia means by being the smarter fighter, Davis has a good boxing IQ, and I think his opponents are underestimating this as they believed that he is only known to have punching power. But to be able to knockout an opponent, you need to think of strategy, like feints and movement and proper placing of the feet to be able to see how they will react. And I think Davis has this in his arsenal and that's why he was able to set up his knockout punch perfectly. And so if there is someone who is smarter here, it will be Tank Davis for me.

Surely Gervonta Davis wanted to be underestimated by his opponents because he's viewing that as an advantage because his opponents are likely complacent enough saying that they will beat Tank easily because they are smarter, taller, or stronger. But as of now, none of them has proven that they're much more capable and stronger than Davis. Hector might end up like Rolly Romero, thinking that he was way smarter than Davis but the outcome was definitely different from what he expected.

It was definitely over his head now, he is focus as you can see in their final press conference, and even Hector Garcia himself admit that it doesn't bother Tank now and so both are focus on their fight.

I'm not really sure what Hector Garcia means by being the smarter fighter, Davis has a good boxing IQ, and I think his opponents are underestimating this as they believed that he is only known to have punching power.

Probably to psyche himself up, or since he doesn't speak English, it could be lost in translation. Nevertheless we will see if Hector will be just another victim of Davis vicious punch or could really be a threat and derail the plans of Tank vs Ryan Garcia.

[Cryptmuster]

Tank is a champion, I don’t think that anyone can underestimate him, on the contrary, everyone understands that a fight with such an opponent can turn out to be one of the most difficult in his career. I see that Garcia behaves very confidently, in one of his statements he said that he would knock out Tank before the second round, but this seems absolutely unrealistic to me, it will be a long and hard fight, and Tank in this fight seems to me a stronger.

Self confident is really need for every boxers in order to beat their opponent, but too much self confident and underestimating his own opponent would make your words goes wrong. It's remind me with Teofimo Lopez who're an undisputed champion in lightweight title and he was fight with Kambosos that doesn't own any single title. Lopez lose in that match and his name in boxing career really dropped.

If Garcia still thinking like this, I wouldn't surprised if Tank is actually knock out Garcia in the first round

[Sanitough]

I don't think he is messing though, I mean that's what he has been saying for many years, 2 rounds and he will knockout Davis.

Trash talk or anything like that would add fire to the potential fight, but it will be more fun to watch then on the ring giving their best.

Just some couple of words to pressure Tank in defeating Hector early because if their fight will finish much longer, the hype will belong to Ryan Garcia and that's what he wanted because Ryan Garcia is like a self centered kid in my perspective who wanted to gather attention. But if Tank manages to finish the fight much earlier, it will still benefit Ryan Garcia because he's still be included in the upcoming scenario where people is expecting a good fight as both of them is a knockout artist.

Ryan Garcia can talk some trash out of Davis but the latter won't be affected, he's just too accustomed in those kind of things. But Ryan Garcia, I don't know, the kid has yet faced embarrassments.

Ryan Garcia probably just trying to calm himself and be confident facing one of the greatest boxers now. I actually like both fighters as they are not boring to watch, so this kind of trash-talking is good as it will hype the fight more and they will get their desired amount of money through what is generated in PPV and from the gate entrance.

Since this is a big fight, it's just normal to see some hype as it's a marketing strategy, and I'm pretty sure they will not disappoint the fans here since they are both aggressive, and we might be surprise that this fight will end earlier than expected.

I see that Garcia behaves very confidently, in one of his statements he said that he would knock out Tank before the second round, but this seems absolutely unrealistic to me, it will be a long and hard fight, and Tank in this fight seems to me a stronger.

Self confident is really need for every boxers in order to beat their opponent, but too much self confident and underestimating his own opponent would make your words goes wrong. It's remind me with Teofimo Lopez who're an undisputed champion in lightweight title and he was fight with Kambosos that doesn't own any single title. Lopez lose in that match and his name in boxing career really dropped.

If Garcia still thinking like this, I wouldn't surprised if Tank is actually knock out Garcia in the first round

C'mon, more drama to hype the fight. Nothing new. You need to make it a trending topic as possible as you can. It's business after all. For sure Garcia knows Tank isn't an easy opponent. He even cancel his tune up fight to prepare early. Also, according to oddmakers, Garcia is the underdog this time so I don't think he is really underestimating Tank. That's just part of promotion.

The date fight is getting closer and I think if Garcia will take this as an easy boxing fight then it would be the surprise as we all know what is tank Davis is, he is not an easy opponent that Gracia can easily knocking down. I think this fight is gonna be a close fight as we all know that Both fighters are good and very strategic. So for me now a days it's better to seat and relax for while cause when the time has come, it's gonna be excited .

And each one says things to himself in his own way:

Hector Garcia says he’ll beat Tank Davis by being “smarter fighter”

That has not to be told, it's already given, I mean you need to be smart in order to win the fight. This isn't his first fight, I'm pretty sure he is using his intelligence everytime he stepped up in the ring. The question here, what if Tank Davis is still smarter than him, then how can he beat Davis?

Well, once smarter, always the winner of course.  But let’s wait and see if who will be the king in the ring once again and remain undefeated up to last and final round. I am still rooting for Davis despite of the issues he has been into, I think his performance will always be outstanding with regards to Hector’s performance in the ring.

I think the issues of Tank is not going to affect him in this fight as it has been settled already and it's too late to affect hi as the fight is going to happen as plan this Saturday night.

It was definitely over his head now, he is focus as you can see in their final press conference, and even Hector Garcia himself admit that it doesn't bother Tank now and so both are focus on their fight.

I'm not really sure what Hector Garcia means by being the smarter fighter, Davis has a good boxing IQ, and I think his opponents are underestimating this as they believed that he is only known to have punching power. But to be able to knockout an opponent, you need to think of strategy, like feints and movement and proper placing of the feet to be able to see how they will react. And I think Davis has this in his arsenal and that's why he was able to set up his knockout punch perfectly. And so if there is someone who is smarter here, it will be Tank Davis for me.

Probably to psyche himself up, or since he doesn't speak English, it could be lost in translation. Nevertheless we will see if Hector will be just another victim of Davis vicious punch or could really be a threat and derail the plans of Tank vs Ryan Garcia.

There is something that we cannot deny here, that in this May we will have very good emotions, this fight has become one of the most separated by all, I cannot deny that the anger in this is very great, Garcia has a lot to do with it For the fight to be done much better, speaking like this to a DAVIS with the trajectory he has is not just anything, Davis is a boxer who could knock out if he neglects for at least 3 seconds, a bad movement and this can be Very well used by him, Davis I see as much more calculating, because I have seen Garcia that he gets carried away a lot by emotions and sometimes that is not so good.


Gervonta Davis vs. Hector Luis Garcia results, live stream fight coverage

Gervonta “Tank” Davis has a very lucrative date with fellow superstar Ryan Garcia this April, but he’ll have to pass a potentially dangerous test this evening when he takes on undefeated Super Featherweight champion Hector Luis Garcia in Washington, DC.

MMAmania.com will deliver LIVE coverage of today’s main event below. The Showtime-streaming broadcast kicks off at 9 p.m. ET, with Davis and Garcia likely making the walk closer to 12 a.m ET.

Garcia is no stranger to flipping the script, having routed the highly touted Chris Colbert in what multiple outlets consider 2022’s Upset of the Year. He subsequently claimed the WBA’s 130-pound title with a wide decision over Roger Gutierrez, and now he’ll move up five pounds to face Davis.

“Tank” is coming off a one-punch knockout of rival Rolando Romero, which followed his first trip to the judges since 2014 in a victorious effort against Mexican slugger Isaac Cruz. Though he’s faced considerable legal trouble, both in recent accusations of domestic violence and an alleged hit-and-run, there’s a whole lot of money on the table if he can get past Garcia.
