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

[smyslov]

From forum users/gamblers, they are rooting for Tank here, as well as bookies favoring Davis.
We don't know what kind of performance they will show inside the ring but it is indeed a legacy fight for both.
As Garcia knows the sentiments of the boxing community, this can very well give him good reason to prepare hard on this fight.
He already skipped a tune-up fight, so more than likely, he is seriously preparing on this one.
But of course, we can't disregard Davis' preparation. It is now how they will use their training inside the ring.

If you're a boxing fan you can easily relate, to who is a better fighter, Gervonta has 12 title fights and is a three-division weight Champion, something Ryan does not have and wanting to be, he is calling out Gervonta for years because Tank is achieving a lot and not avoiding fighters, even Tyson thinks that Tank can beat Ryan.
When it comes to boxing, the chin and ability to take punches are very important, imagine Ryan getting a knock down from a fighter who's not known to have a knockout power, it tells how bad your chin is, Tank will go for the chin, it is Ryan's vulnerable part.

But let's think about it, for most fights of Ryan Garcia, his chin is always exposed but still got a decent record and knockdown rate up to this point. I know we can't compare Ryan's previous opponents to Tank Davis but still, some of those are tough boxers and not joke opponents.

Tank might target Ryan's chin, as you said it's his vulnerable part, but it's impossible for me to think that the latter is not prepared and aware of that.

For sure, defense tactics and strategies will take place and be executed to somehow protect that disadvantage of Ryan Garcia.

I'll go with Ryan with this time, before I'm still struggling on who I will choose between the two but I already came up that I will choose Ryan between the two. Good to see that 2 superstars of boxing will have a match tomorrow. I'm very excited to look forward to their match. A lot of analyst said that this match is a battle between power puncher and lightning punches. Tank is really great fighter but as for my analysis, Ryan has an advantage between the two boxers.

The odds of Ryan before reached 4.0x odds but not it goes down 2.6x odds. Everyone in the boxing community are now looking forward to this great match. Actually I already placed bet to Ryan but I only put the money that I can afford to lose because I understand that everything can happen and Ryan is still underdog. If I win then it is good, If I lose; it is still good because I only bet the money that I'm willing to lose. Goodluck to all bettors out there. Ryan may win this match 

I'll go for Tank, Tank has 12 title fights and Ryan is fighting for his first title shot, Tank knows the pressure inside a championship fight, he's been there and done that, and will do it again, we have their weigh-in hours ago and I have never been excited in a fight because so much is at stake here I'm sure it will live up to the hype.
Both fighters are totally hyped during the weigh-in, everybody here I'm sure will not going to miss this one as it is three or four years in the making, and now they finally going to face each other in the ring.

GERVONTA DAVIS VS RYAN GARCIA • HEATED FULL WEIGH IN & FACE OFF VIDEO!

In this heated face off, I cannot stop looking and shake my head on what Oscar dela Hoya was wearing hehehe. Is it hot there in that place? It appears he is wearing a sweater but with the cloth used is something similar to black stockings .

[bisdak40]

Not much action in the first round, maybe neither boxers don't want to commit mistakes attacking that could cost them the fight.

Hope this would not end in a snore feast.

edit:
there you go, Garcia overcommitted and made the mistake that Davis is waiting thus causing the knockdown.

edit2:

Edit: It's over, Davis with that huge body shot in round seven. Ryan take a knee but can't get up in time.

Same body shot that Linares took from Loma that the former never got up.
Davis was just too much for Garcia in that fight, just like I said, he was only taller but if you look at them, Davis was the bigger boxer which eliminates the only advantage that Garcia had in that fight.

The only thing that I admire about Garcia is that he can get up after a solid knockdown, he just needs to work that body so he can be like Manny Pacquaio. He will campaign I think in the welterweight division where the big boys are waiting for him hehe.

I think no rematch on this fight as a rematch will only happen if Davis will lose but him dominating the small Garcia, i don't think they will do it again on that catchweight of 136 lbs.

Damn, that left hook of Davis, right on the pipe of Ryan.

But Ryan was able to get up from the canvass, his chin has been tested again but was able to recover very quickly.

I still have Davis winning the first 4 rounds, 3-1 with round 2, 10-8 scoring.

Edit: It's over, Davis with that huge body shot in round seven. Ryan take a knee but can't get up in time.

Like what many predicted Davis won via TKO via a liver punch he sneak that liver punch just when Ryan is holding in, I just knew its a matter of time before that counter punch, Ryan is too careless and very aggressive to hit, and land his left hook but unfortunately, Davis is good at this he has a good lateral movement and ring generalship to weathered Ryan's attack.
There may be a rematch but definitely Tank has better skill in the ring, he can get his punches in while Ryan is having a hard time landing his left hook.

It ended in a way that we didn't expect... or at least I didn't expected. I expect a head punch to knock him out, but a liver shot really did it.

There really was a bit of a delay unto his reaction before kneeling down, and can't beat the count. I think it was around 5 seconds of delay before him getting knocked down. I like the aggressiveness of Garcia coming into the second round to pressure Davis, but his carelessness got him, and got knocked down by a left hook in that same round as well which I didn't expect as well. That was his second knockdown since Campbell knocked him down for the first time. He adjusted in the mid part of the game, focusing more on his right hand, but he really got shot in the liver.

Davis on the other hand is like Mayweather, with a bit aggressive style. He's good at defending, he's lightning fast hands makes him a good counter puncher, his IQ inside the ring is one of the highest, his punch has so much power in it. I mean you name it. Davis deserves to be the face of the boxing really because of how good he is. He might be trash talking, but his performance backs it up unlike others who are just good at trash talking. Davis predicted that he will finish the fight in the 7th or 8th round. He really did it.

There may be a rematch but definitely Tank has better skill in the ring, he can get his punches in while Ryan is having a hard time landing his left hook.

After being dominated, I don't think that Garcia will try, and request a rematch against him. I mean I also thought that a rematch after this one is possible, but after looking at that one-sided match, it would be better for Garcia to just forget about it. He just got demolished big time in this fight TBH.

I thought it was not a strong punch but he did hit him in the right spot. The Round 2 knockdown punch from Tank Davis was really amazing and I think that's where the pace of the fight changed. Suddenly, Garcia had been throwing punches lesser unlike what he did in Rounds 1 and 2. Davis's body punches may have also helped to soften the body of Garcia, he did throw a lot on that section.

It's a wrap.
Ryan Garcia will become a better boxer, there's no doubt about that. This is just another lesson that he will add to his experience. It will affect him mentally but he should get over it and he is young, and there's still room for improvement, especially in that big body of his.

Tank Davis 7th round win. 10 counts. Just like how he predicted it. That was absolutely worth watching.

[coin-investor]

The lack of experience on Ryan's part and Gervonta's 12 title fights experience is what made the difference, Ryan is too aggressive while Tank is showing controlled aggressiveness, you cannot beat someone you cannot hit, Ryan no doubt is a hard hitter but fighting someone like Gervonta who is very good in moving in the ring and making his opponents awkward is just too much for Ryan.
This fight settle it all I don't know about the rematch if there is one but for me, Gervonta is a better fighter he was leading in the fight and was very dominant this just shows who is the real top Dog in that division, I don't think Tank has a match in his division not even Haney.

[OgNasty]

Not the way I thought this fight would go. I thought Garcia would be able to get the better of Tank but he didn’t seem to be able to use his advantages to his benefit. I wonder if they really did sign contracts to bet the entire purse or what is going to happen with that drama now.

While Davis was defending himself and waiting for the right moment to launch a strike that would knock Garcia out cold, Ryan steadily threw punches to Davis. Ryan had a busy day because a good battle calls for a good complement. He couldn't believe Davis had defeated him. When Ryan Garcia was hit by Gervonta Davis' monster punch in round 7 of the fight, Floyd Mayweather was impressed. It was entertaining to watch these youngsters compete for the championship since they were just one victory away.

Well, Ryan is too busy throwing punches on the comfortable range of Davis, as a result, Ryan Garcia got countered on the second round making him kiss the canvas.  I also believe the rehydration clause has huge effect on Ryan's lower body resistance.  As I heard on the post interview, the deal clause limits Ryan Garcia's rehydration that makes him not in full condition during the fight.  But respect to Ryan Garcia on not using it as an excuse.

I have seen how Ryan Garcia is lacking that seems there are only 2 variation of his punches, jab and hook which makes his attack more predictable.  Congratulations to those who bet on Davis.

[Jawhead999]

As expected by many people Tank win against Garcia, this is the only one big fight for Garcia because he was always cherry pick his opponent and don't want to fight with a champion. Garcia is trying to dominate the fight and only focus to punch as much as he can, but he's not careful enough to defend himself. Tank is popular with his counter puncher, Tank can be defeated if Garcia is a technical boxer.

Garcia lost with a same punch like he did against Luke Campbell.

Can't agree more! This fight took Garcia straight outta clinic as Davis totally dominated and schooled Ryan Garcia. Davis showed a lot of intelligence in this fight. During the first round, he didn't engaged much on Ryan's aggressiveness. Though round 2 was too early, but Davis saw that opportunity where Ryan repeated the same movements and aggressiveness since round 1, thus putting him down with a perfect left handed counter.
I hate to say this, but I don't want to see an immediate rematch as we are gonna probably see the same result. Let Ryan be matured first and maybe he'll have a chance in a rematch.

In terms of skill and ring generalship, Ryan has no match against Tank, it's a fine display of ring IQ he is very patient and not eager to get a hit, compared to Ryan who is very anxious to get even after the knockdown, the two fighters are in good terms and they are very cordial in their post-fight conference.
Ryan still has a lot to learn and this is his first crack at a World title and the first time he fought a top-level boxer, I don't think this deserves an immediate rematch, Tank should go for the winner of the Haney - Kambosos fight, for another legacy and money maker fight.

That's purely talking to hype the fight but in the end, Ryan Garcia backed out of his statement that the winner will take all the purse money, that's what I have read in my social media feed about a month ago.

Garcia lost with a same punch like he did against Luke Campbell.

Also, the same punch that Loma used to finish Linares, and if my memory serves me right, that's what also happened to Ryan's boss (Oscar) in the hands of Hopkins.

Yes, it is, the same punch, Ryan is too defensive on his chin that he forgot that he is fighting a small guy and his body is vulnerable to a liver punch, Ryan is not ripe for this kind of fight, too anxious, prone to careless moves not good in defense, when he attacks he opens a room for a counter punch, that's because he has never faced a guy like Gervonta who is almost flawless in his moves and defense.

I wonder what's next for Ryan, losing by a technical knockout is not good for a superstar like him, he is good only for social media and still has a lot to learn in boxing.

[Taskford]

Ryan is not ripe for this kind of fight,

He's ripe and we can see it to his record but Tank Davis is just so good for him. Davis exposed his weaknesses very well that's why he totally dominated him and got a huge victory on their fight.

losing by a technical knockout is not good for a superstar like him, he is good only for social media and still has a lot to learn in boxing.

One lose cannot break out his achievement also he's so young there's so many room for improvement so provably he will bounce back for this big defeat he encounter in the hands of Davis. That big lose is a huge wake up call for him that he need to improve more so that he can maintain his superstar status and also to defeat more big names in industry.
