With this upcoming fight of Davis, Garcia will see how prepared Davis is for their fight.
Garcia already ditched his supposedly fight with Gesta this coming month to focus on Davis.
Is it a good decision for Garcia or not? We will see if this will help when he faces with Davis.
He has a long break now from the boxing ring, so hopefully his decision is right.
If Davis will win on his upcoming fight, I believe, Garcia will be the underdog in their fight.
IMO it was a bad decision to cancel his tune-up fight with Mercito Gesta. It could be that the proposed fight schedule with Tank isn't giving Kingry enough time to recover if ever the Gesta fight turns difficult. But Kingry could've easily moved his fight with Tank by a month or 2.
Kingry will be nearly a year inactive when he faces Tank. He cannot overtrain either so the focus thing is just bs. He is just lazy and is only looking for the big money, he seems ready to cash out in boxing. His former coach Eddie Reynoso and former stablemate Canelo Alvarez were right, he is slacking and is losing his motivation and dedication to establish his own legacy. His fight with Tank Davis is not even a championship fight.
Yeah, you are right, I also think that Ryan is getting lazy, but we cannot remove the fact that he (Ryan Garcia) probably thinks it would be troublesome for him to adjust his strategy to a different boxer. So I guess he is too focused on the strategy he will use to beat Davis and he finds fighting Gesta would ruin everything he had planned and need to restart the training for Davis fight again.
Then there's no risk for Garcia that the big fight might not happen. With his focus now is on Davis alone, I expect him to show the best of him in their coming fight. Davis hasn't made a statement yet if he would also do the same which is to cancel his tuneup fight, if he would do that, the better so they will be 100% focus on beating each other.
That would be better and preferable since these two are one of the most mentioned boxers in the boxing industry nowadays and they will gonna make some noise next year if they decided to fight against each other. I think if Garcia has the real power and speed to hurt even the caliber of Tank Davis, then it would be an easy fight for him but we know he is vulnerable to getting hit with solid punches, and if Davis will caught him, he will surely feel it and he would gonna surely feel the pain.
It will not be easy for him for sure, Garcia has the power and is a very dominant boxer in his division, but he is facing a real monster which has a high knockout percentage. Maybe this will be the first time to see a good fight between two champions, but as a fan, I would be expecting a KO and a rematch after this fight.
Tank Davis 25Ko out of 27 fights.
Ryan Garcia 19KO out of 23 fights.
Just a slight edge for Davis though.
But there is a huge gap between reach advantage and height in favor of Ryan Garcia, experience for Davis. Ryan Garcia is promising a 2nd round KO so let us see if he will deliver what he promised.
