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

[Yaunfitda]

Tank Davis also mentioned in interviews that Ryan has earn his place already and he deserved to face him. (Whatever he means by that, it's open for interpreration), maybe moving forward he is going to be selective of his opponents or whoever he wants to face for the money.

Maybe he thinks he is the king and Ryan Garcia is just the top challenger for him. However, that's still underestimating his opponent because despite both being champs, Davis sees himself on a higher level. I hope Ryan Garcia will prove Davis wrong and show him that his current thoughts are incorrect.

There are top challengers are well, we obviously have the champion in Devin Haney. But it seems that this two are really destined to fight each other, for the respect and obviously for the money itself.

So it's time for ticket scalpers again, Lol, for sure there are fans willing to spend that huge money to pay underground even if the price could be x2 as what @bbc.reporter pointed out.

^ With the fight hype like this, they would really want a rematch and Golden Boy wants its space for it. I think no matter who wins they will have a rematch. And If I would read between the lines here. They will deliberately set the fight just enough to make it fun and exciting yet also disappointing to consider a rematch.

Haha, you may have a point but i think deliberately making the fight enough to warrant for a rematch is a hard thing to do and we must not forget that Tank Davis' sentencing will be in May and he may be out for a year or more so the rematch would not happen very soon even if Ryan Garcia win the first.

Have not read thoroughly the rehydration clause but i think Tank Davis is simulating the moves of Canelo Alvarez wherein he controlled his opponent's weight when they face in the ring, not a bad move but i think a coward act hehe.

I just think that Davis doesn't want to give any advantage to Garcia simply as that, so he inserted the rehydration clause to make Garcia uncomfortable and indeed if he has problems making the 136 lbs and what more if he wants to rehydrate after the weigh in.

Not sure who is Garcia's nutritionist, but she/he has a lot of things in the plate to ensure Garcia will not have an problem during the weigh in and rehydrate himself just 10 lbs before the fight.

Absolutely mate tank Davis believe himself that he is the king of his division. And without a doubt we can say that it because what we saw his previous matches he proves to us that he is tank Davis the real champion and no one can beat him up. But in this juncture Ryan Garcia bring himself to the ring and want to say that he can defeat Tank Davis even if not in a knockout but at least he will win. And the best question for this is can Tank Davis will win or Ryan Garcia will overtake The tank .

Well, apart from that, a rematch is highly unlikely to happen considering Tank's situation as he has an awaiting sentencing a month after the fight. That said, they will settle this fight once and for all because even if there will a hype, a rematch just cannot be done as soon as possible because of the stated scenario and then, I think there's no rematch clause in this fight.

Not sure who is Garcia's nutritionist, but she/he has a lot of things in the plate to ensure Garcia will not have an problem during the weigh in and rehydrate himself just 10 lbs before the fight.

Hopefully, whoever he or she is, it will be a big task for Ryan's nutritionist because this kind of clause is rare and then it's evident that Ryan is not perfectly suitable at 135 that is why a catchweight bout has been made.

That is the big question for now, but looking at the advantages and chances, surely Tank Davis have those edge because he has faced quite a lot of good boxers already which developed his instincts inside the ring. Nevertheless, Ryan Garcia is still the kind of boxer that is not good to be underestimated with because even if he's not that experienced compared to the champion, his left hook is vicious enough to upset any champions as long as he can cleanly land it. Fortunately, I think Tank Davis is not underestimating his challenger and isn't taking any risks as well that can make him at the disadvantageous side.

We will know and conclude that after the game, right now we are all speculating, and we don't know if how both fighters are
preparing for this upcoming event.

Like what you mentioned, Garcia is challenging Davis and he wanted to prove that he can beat the champ.

While in Davis side, he believes that he will bet Garcia and he will remain the best in his division.

For now as a Boxing fan we need to do is be active in thier announcement because for both fighter trained harder in order to give us a good and clean fight and also before I forgot All I can say about this fight is that, this fight will be a close fight. And we all know that because both fighters are good enough to give us a good fight.  But we don't know yet what happen in the final day do for now setback and relax .

Both know the stakes are high in this fight, so there is no underestimating from both camp, for now it's all mind games, trying to get into one skins with trash talking like Davis saying that Ryan doesn't have the mentality to become great or even attacking him with his beef with Canelo. On the other hand, Garcia too went to the extend of telling us the rehydration clause or even verbally abusing Tank on the clothes he were during their initial face-off. So for now we will hear about those kind of trash talking between the two and see who is going to blink first.

On the other hand, they are training very hard for this fight in the background and as we all know, Ryan possesses such a vicious left hook. Why Davis power is un-match in this division.

I'm excited about the fight but I am more excited about the process or what's happening before the fight, actually, this fight needs no shills or hype anymore because we know what is at stake and their status in the boxing world but as a boxing fan we love the drama leading to the fight, what's going on and what's happening, what's the expert and the personalities are saying.
It's still a long way before the date of the fight but I'm checking my social media feeds on what's happening in this coming match and I'm sure many are also doing that, hopefully, we'll never read any postponement this is unacceptable and worse for all of us.

Probably it's how we define champion now, as I have said, Haney is the champion but his style is boring for fight fans.

On the other hand, we have hard hitter like Davis, who fought as high as 140 lbs and beat the champion in Barrios although others says that it's a strategy to fight the weak champion. And same with Ryan, fighter other names at 135 lbs, but nevertheless he has no belt but he is a crowd drawer because is their "social media" champion.

So Haney as champion but he is not a crowd pleaser as compare to Tank and Ryan Garcia more exciting as they fight and go after a knockout.

Probably he thinks that both of them are in the top of the division although they don't really have the belt since Haney has everything under his waist. But as far as being the biggest crowd drawer in the 135 lbs, yeah, this two are on top.

So props for them to set up this fight when they are still in their prime, not when they are old and the hype are gone already.

Both are hungry and going to put their 0 on the line.

this is the good thing about this fight, both wanted this fight especially for garcia. however, don't know what will happen next if garcia loses to davis. his career may be put on hold and look for other top boxers to fight with.
in any case, i can understand if garcia is the underdog here. most forum users are also rooting for davis to win this fight.

He might continue his career to 140 lbs, but the might might not be the same as when he doesn't have any losses. And someone is really going to be exposed in this fight, whether just a hype or be the next cash cow in boxing.

Yes, Tank Davis is the favorite but I think forum users also might go for Garcia by an upset.

Because we all know that this two can put each other on the canvass.

[Sanitough]

There are some who believe that Ryan Garcia can win this fight. It's common to see the favorites have a lot of supporters, but we can never know for sure. Both fighters are KO artists, so anything can happen in the ring. As long as both are preparing well for this fight, it will be unpredictable.

My advice is to just enjoy the fight, watch it, and don't forget to bet.

However, if you are looking for very attractive betting odds, then the only way to go is to bet on Ryan Garcia.

This is what I said before that every fighter will be take this fight seriously it because both of them are good in the ring which means both of them have a chance to win the match and also you are right that they are KO artist they can easily Knockdown thier opponent once they found an good opening. So they need to practice harder and have a good technique so that they didn't knock down easier.

[Maslate]

<<<snip>>> so that they didn't knock down easier.

I've seen Ryan Garcia getting knocked down, but he came back strong and beat his opponent. However, I haven't seen the same from Tank Davis in his previous fights. That's why people are thinking that Tank Davis might hurt Ryan Garcia and he won't be able to stand up. But I see it differently; it convinces me of how strong Ryan Garcia's chin is.

With Ryan Garcia having the reach and height advantage, he should use it effectively to have the edge over a very smart fighter and KO artist. I'm pretty sure they are practicing their respective strategies to score a knockout. There's no way this fight will reach the judges' scorecards.

[stadus]

...Anyone though was surprised to see Leonard Ellerbe on the background? The guy with that white beard, he is Floyd's CEO and we all know that Davis didn't renew his contract with Floyd. But according to the news, he will be training at Floyd's gym in Las Vegas, so I guess everything is really cool between the two camps despite Davis no longer under Floyd. And I think it is a advantage for Tank, at least he has someone more experience behind him. And who knows, Floyd might drop to his own gym and still mentor Tank because this is the biggest fight of his career, both of them including Ryan. Goosen's training gym is in LA, so most likely Ryan will train there as he is from California.

So looking at boxing's top librarian Boxrec, Mayweather Promotions is part of this event along with GBP (Ryan Garcia's promoter). TGB is probably the lead promoter here since Brown is always in the middle during pictorials and is usually the promoter tabbed by most PBC events.

Tank probably remained a promotional-free agent like Canelo and is free to fight under any promotions. PBC is the real promoter anyways so if Tank has a managerial contract and wants to continue working with Al then he doesn't really need a promotional contract that will take a portion of his events profits.

Yes, it certainly seems like it to me as well because Tom Brown of the TGB Promotions is also mentioned first whenever they advertise this fight while Oscar of the GBP is the co-promoter. And for Tank Davis being a promotional-free agent, he might sign under Al Haymon of the PBC but I'm under the impression that Tank Davis is also looking forward to build his own promotional company as the name GTD Promotions which is also his logo.

He might be routing to that, I mean with such indication it's simply showing that he wanted to have his own promotions, if he
continue his way, winning against Garcia, the chance to bring more hypes under his name.

A very good promotion for his desire next destination. It's no longer new to this sport as we see more legends who use their names to
start their own promotion business.

Moving back, the fight is nearing and for sure we will hear and read more trash talks.

That said, we might see Tank Davis making his own promotional banner sooner or later but considering his current situation, that might have to wait as well because he cannot really move freely if he will be sentenced this coming May. We will know about Davis's sentencing sometime later but for now, let's just enjoy this upcoming fight first because this is one of the most exciting and most awaited fights since last year. I'm just glad that these guys were able to materialize it for the sake of giving entertainment for the boxing fans and to settle their rivalry as well.

[Baofeng]

I've seen Ryan Garcia getting knocked down, but he came back strong and beat his opponent. However, I haven't seen the same from Tank Davis in his previous fights. That's why people are thinking that Tank Davis might hurt Ryan Garcia and he won't be able to stand up. But I see it differently; it convinces me of how strong Ryan Garcia's chin is.

Yeah, it's really a good show by Garcia when he was able to get back from the canvass and beat Luke Campbell with a body shot. So he has been tested and pass it although we can't compare the power of Luke and Tank. What if Tank hit Garcia with the same left hook, maybe he will won't get up or maybe he will, we will have to see in this fight.

With Ryan Garcia having the reach and height advantage, he should use it effectively to have the edge over a very smart fighter and KO artist. I'm pretty sure they are practicing their respective strategies to score a knockout. There's no way this fight will reach the judges' scorecards.

If he will know how to used that advantage then good for Ryan, but as Davis said, he is used to fighting bigger guys so again, gonna be interesting how the fight will go with Ryan using his height and reach and then Tank, contend with countering and looking for that one big shot that might change the complexion of the game. And so far as far as betting goes, Davis is the favorite and so Ryan will really have to play smart and have a lot of aces in his sleeves.

And If I would read between the lines here. They will deliberately set the fight just enough to make it fun and exciting yet also disappointing to consider a rematch.

I reckon a rematch will only be negotiated if the lead promoter's fighter, the favorite Tank Davis loses through a knockout. Another possibility of a rematch no matter who wins, is if the fight is very exciting and both Tank, King Ry are shown to be equals in the ring, very much similar to Inoue vs. Donaire 1. However, if Ryan Garcia is knocked out, there will certainly not be a rematch.

Yeah, that might fit the scenario of a rematch and it could have been very well in the rematch clause already. Could be a draw or the decision very controversial that we are split whether the decision is right or wrong.

Or in any case, we should wait for the fight, just this first fight alone will generate 8 figures for this two fighters.

We will have have to see if it will live up to the hype that we are expecting. Even though that there are no belts on the line, the atmosphere might be similar to big fights in the past like Alvarez vs GGG I or even Manny vs Floyd.

Yeah, anything can happen in a fight, of course, Ryan has more supporters but I think Davis too has die hard fans that are going to bet on him and watch  this fight live.

So anything goes for this two, and again, that one punch can be so decisive in this fight. Specially if the fight is so close, and the one that can score a knockdown will have the advantage if this goes to the judges scorecard.

Very unpredictable indeed but that's what make this fight very exciting.
