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

[freedomgo]

^ Yeah, it's going to be full of *bleep* and *bleep* in this press conference. Both are huge trash talkers and we know that when to fighters like to bad mouth against each other, it's hard to stop.

Did the venue though has been announced yet?

I now they are targeting Las Vegas for this fight and there are 2 venues vying for that slot and I might have missed the official place of this fight, just saying.

Yes, that is expected mate but that will be fun to see because this fight is a bit personal for them both. They've been dancing back and forth on the internet for some years now and fortunately, it's happening and will take place in April 22 at Las Vegas, Nevada.

The venue is still TBA, I'm thinking that organizers will first feel the people's response towards their tickets on the first few days of selling it so that they could tell which place is more suitable to cater a large crowd. After that, the place will be finalized and as well as the PPV price.

We'll see if they will actually dare to trash-talk face-to-face. Maybe they can bark at each other online but can't do it face-to-face. And it'll be fun to see how the other top fighters that are also throwing bombs at each other like Haney, Shakur, and Lopez. These Top Rank guys will probably laugh at this PPV event but with no real belts on the line. I really hope that the winner of this fight will go ahead and face real competition and not go back to the usual cherry-picking of opponents.

Baofeng mentioned before the 70k capacity Allegiant Stadium and the arenas of T-Mobile and MGM Grand. And as I mentioned earlier, I really doubt a stadium will be used in this fight. Boxing promoters in the US will most likely stick to boxing-proven venues like the MGM and T-Mobile, especially in a Vegas fight. Tickets will be more expensive of course compared to making this event in a stadium.

We will likely know that soon in their press conference, I bet they will start throwing words with each other and to add-up some spice, those trash talks might be under the belt because besides from marketing the fight, the rivalry between those two is no doubt real. But going after a champion? Their most probable chance is if Haney will have a mandatory fight as the winner of this fight will surely got the slot. But as of now, he is not yet due to have a mandatory fight.

I'm expecting that to happen, so aside from the marketing these two fighters are already throwing
trash talks online so what more once they already facing each other in their presscon.

Let's see if how they will use this venue to attract more fans to support the upcoming fight and how they will bring or
add excitement with those below the belt trash talks.

I think that is already expected to happen once they face each other while marketing the said fight. Fact is, it's not just us, but almost all people who witnessed the start of their rivalry is expecting the same thing as well. Organizers and promoters would surely love that to happen as that could market the fight even more and giving them an almost guaranteed boost of their ticket sales once it will commence. Other than that, there is a good chance that this fight might happen at the stadium like they planned once the tickets will exceed their expectations in the first few days.

The promotion of this fight started a long time ago. There were already threads of Tank vs Garcia before 2022 as far as I know and there are still a few months before this fight happens they could really boost the marketing if just face off through a sports channel. They need Jake Paul to market the fight because with Paul they may be able to fill the MGM overnight.

This fight will not need a mega promotion tour from the promoters as this is one of the most awaited fights in this sport. Last time I've checked, this will be held in T-mobile arena in Vegas so tickets for this fight will be a bit expensive but hardcore boxing fans will still patronize this one because they knew that they will get their money's worth as both fighters are in their prime.

Trash talking and social media will definitely help a lot in promoting this fight though as Ryan Garcia is very good at it lol.

From the users here, Garcia is the underdog and I can understand such position.
If Garcia is not fully prepared on this upcoming fight, Davis can easily win on this match.
The venue is said to be at T-Mobile Arena, which they can possibly increase the price tickets given the size of this venue.
This event is more than a month from now, and based from crypto bookies, Davis is still the favorite.

[Macadonian]

Tank Davis knocks out Ryan Garcia. Garcia is too young and I think he is rushing his career too much and will pay the price. If he loses it will be a big set back in his career and he will find it hard to get the big fights again. I think he should wait until Tank gets older and Garcia can get some important fights in between and try to develop the ring experience he needs to beat a Tank.

Without proper preparation, the advantage will continue to be on the side of Davis. He got the experience and still got a
good edge in terms of skill sets.

But, the aggressiveness and that youthness from Ryan may give him the chance to upset the favorite. Inside this sport, we can't conclude the
outcome accurately, as there's always the chance of making an upset.

Ryan has that power punch that if being thrown and convert to Davis, he can make him kiss the floor.

Ryan has that power punch that if being thrown and convert to Davis, he can make him kiss the floor.

Of course, it's not impossible for a knockout to happen as both fighters have a high KO rate. Ryan Garcia happens to be the underdog here, but he is actually a good match up for Davis. Not only will Garcia be tested, but Davis will also be tested as well. Although Garcia is the underdog, it's wrong to underestimate him.

Yeah, I won't do that too. Underestimating Garcia will be a foolish move.
I have been thinking about betting for both fighters with a Knockout ending. But it will depend on how much the bookies will give. If somehow it's not worth the profit if I bet on two boxers, then that's when I will just pick one. Tank Davis maybe. I am more on his side here to make the KO punch.
I bet Garcia will be aggressive in the early rounds whereas Davis is more of a slow starter and senses his opponents' rhythm.
A bet for ending before the 3rd-6th round might also be possible.

I think he should wait until Tank gets older and Garcia can get some important fights in between and try to develop the ring experience he needs to beat a Tank.

Tank is 28 years old and Garcia is 24 years old, I don't think 24 years old is too young, take a look with Mike Tyson where his best performance was at 20-23 years old. It's true they're different, but that's a proof where 24 years isn't too young especially Garcia have started his career when he was at 18 years old. I don't see any excuse about age, reach, or total fights, both of them are similar, it just depends on their skills.

It's surely not based on the age but the maturity of a boxer, and I think Ryan Garcia is mature enough in the ring. He was once knocked down, and we all witnessed how he stood up and continued to fight. After that, he dominated his opponent and won via TKO. So, Ryan Garcia is a decent opponent for a very good boxer, Tank Davis, and I'm sure it will not be a one-sided beatdown.

[DevilSlayer]

The Odds has been out in different gambling platforms. Currently, Ryan Garcia has 3.15 ODDS and Tank Davis has 1.32 ODDS. It's obvious that Ryan Garcia is the underdog in this fight, they are both strong and they are both undefeated but someone will get 1 in their both 0 losses. As a bettor and also a fan of boxing, Tank Davis has the upperhand wherein his K.O. rate is so high and his explosiveness is unreal but we cannot underestimate Ryan Garcia because he became pretty famous because of his speed and courage.

As for where will I put my bet between Ryan and Tank, I still not decided and I still researching for me to have conviction on who will I choose. I'll just make sure that the money that I will put is the money that I can give to the platform where I will not any emotional discomfort even I lose the bet.

They need Jake Paul to market the fight because with Paul they may be able to fill the MGM overnight.

I don't think they needed Jake Paul on this one as both Tank and Ryan also got their own supporters and have a large fan bases whether if it's online or offline. MGM Grand Garden Arena might be the place where this fight will happen but given the fact that the organizers haven't announced the venue yet, that means that they are still holding on as there's also a chance that this fight might happen in Allegiant Stadium, still in Las Vegas because the place can hold more audience than what the MGM can do.

Yes, there is indeed no need to add another factor to attract more people to watch the fight because this fight has already been marinated enough throughout the time as both boxers are already talking back-and-forth online for years already, so it's safe to assume that there will be a large flock of people on the given date to watch the said fight.

I'm even confident enough to say that the press conference is not really needed to market it more but it's unavoidable as it is already a tradition in the sport especially if it's a big fight with a magnitude like this.

[Baofeng]

I wasn't able to stay up to watch the press conference live because it's like 3:00 AM here when it started, (I just saw Ryan being interviewed alone and then I took a nap).

In any case, here is the short version of the press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG-pE6IHB2E

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Im1aLhPZLg -> Face-off, wish there was no sounds in the background so that we can hear what each other is saying. Maybe later there will be videos surfacing along though.

Pre ticket sales will start tomorrow, so I will try to monitor the numbers as well so see if it will be sold out or not.

[Dave1]

And it's very interesting to hear about the rehydration clause, and upon my research it says that he can't weigh more than 146 lbs. So it's looks like Davis and his team really take everything into account and that they will have all the advantage including after the catch weight of 136 lbs.

We see there is a lot of mutual respect, however, when it comes to face-off, this two are going to throw barbs at each other. And it was fun though, as boxing fans we want to see this boxers getting into each other nerves for the hype.

Tank has been campaigning in 3 divisions already and became a champion at 130. Although Tank's opponents are mostly cherry-picked and exploited which is normal as he was carefully handled by Mayweather before, Kingry's level of opposition makes no difference. So overall, Tank has the edge when it comes to experience and better opponents.

I am liking of a Tank by KO/TKO. But I won't probably bet since I want these 2 cherry-pickers to fight in a blood bath after years of ignoring the top tiers of their division. And hopefully, the winner will be ready to face the real dogs of their divisions; Shakur, Haney, Loma, Lopez, Taylor, Caterall, Prograis, Matias, etc.

Their face-off was something you expected because both of them are full of confidence to be the winner in this fight and they cannot stop their trash-talking because this is badly needed to gather as much support as their need for their upcoming fights. though they don't really need that because they are already popular, trash-talking is the most anticipated thing to watch before they step in the ring to fuel their rivalry and excite the fans. they have been calling each other for a fight and now that they finally have the schedule, it will be a total war for these two, and fans from their both respective countries are expectedly the loudest at the stadium.

Trashtalking to sell this fight ain't necessary, they both are well knowned and both good in their own craft. Being as good as both of them will automatically attract boxing fans. I mean, who doesn't want to see a good fighters with both undefeated facing each other to determine who's better. Though, it doesn't end with just one match, a trilogy (if necessary) will finally determine who's really the best.

I agree, it really depends on their experience and I would say that Davis is a more aggressive fighter who likes to close the distance and land powerful punches and Garcia is more of a counter-puncher who uses his speed. So, this upcoming fight really depends on the ability and how they can survive the rounds.

But, Overall. I will bet all-in for Davis.

Both cannot avoid it, they have a dislike for each other, and the feeling is mutual for both of them, have you seen their first press conference something is brewing up, both fighters are each other stepping stones to greatness, and its a legacy fight, something we will all look back ten years from now and see this as a heated and great rivalry.
I like both fighters they can deliver the knockout that they want, it all goes up on who gets hits first and hard, no doubt about their punching power but ring generalship will play a major factor.
The ring generalship of Tank is good and that's what carries him in the Romero fight, but Goosen is on Garcia's corner so I'm sure they dwell on his ring generalship for this match.
