I mean, I don't know, but it seems like it's impossible for Tank Davis to be portrayed as an underdog, I wish he was, because that would have given me more incentive to bet on him. Regardless, this fight will end in finite and TKO form.

Performance wise, it is clear that Tank Davis has more antiques, he is more skillful than Ryan Garcia. Have you seen how he moves around his opponent making his opponent defenseless?  Ryan Garcia on the other side is all forward, not much of lateral movement and footwork.  Aside from that, popularity and record also shows that Tank Davis is way better than Ryan Garcia, so there is no way Tank Davis will be an underdog here.  Rip your more incentives Grin.

Both fighter are heavy hitter, it is a matter of who will be the lucky one to get the opportunity to land a perfect shot first, that will render his opponent unable to continue.


Davis will keep on moving and attack when Garcia shows unprepared. I like your descriptions and for sure, Davis will
give that entertainment for his fans, knowing him with lots of laterals and footwork in finding the opening.

On the other side, Garcia is more on pushing forward and trying to box his opponent to engage a toe-to-toe exchange of punches. He might
succeed in that style getting Davis in the kind scenario

but if he's not that quick, Davis will take advantage to throw solid combinations, then move away from him.

Before and after I created this thread, my prediction was always Tank Davis will win because he is the better boxer and the tougher man. However, when I was looking at King Ryan's record more closely, I think he has made the much needed preparations to give him a better than expected chance to win. King Ry has very much prepared himself to fight a 5'6" left handed boxer by fighting 2 left handed boxers in his last 3 fights. The last opponent is Javier Fortuna, he is short and can knockout anyone, having much similarities to Tank. I would laugh at King Ry's bettors last week, however, we cannot laugh if we have studied his preparation more.

Well, Ryan Garcia is indeed a tough challenger for Tank Davis but I really don't see any advantages that Garcia might use to the latter except his size. If we say speed and power, surely Tank Davis also got that and even much better compared to Garcia. I know Garcia is good but when it comes to Tank Davis, I think he's just a bit too overrated because he hasn't fought any serious boxers yet unlike the regular champion. Don't know why either Ryan Garcia is too interested in Davis when in-fact he won't be fighting in this division anymore in the years to come, he just can't make the weight needed anymore.

Yes, Ryan Garcia may seem overrated for some people and it seems that is the case here because mostly, avid boxing fans and the bettors will really pick Tank Davis over the younger boxer who doesn't have that much experience and haven't fought big names in the industry as well. But we should know and shouldn't forget that there is a first time for everything, and that Tank Davis might be Ryan Garcia's first trophy. Upset may happen and in this fight, the first one to land that KO punch will have the most chance to win the fight especially that both of them is a KO specialist.

Well, this is true, both are former specialists in knockouts, but here I don't think that any of them are looking for a knockout at the outset, the one I see as most possible is going to look for it and that because they don't respect seniority much is Davis , but I think he won't, honestly a boxer who always seeks to knock out protects himself very well, for me that fight can end quickly but in this case due to all he knows is that García can do very well and win, Even this fight there is not much speculation, but I have seen in some forums that I like that they are about boxing, that the majority give the go-ahead to García.
Just to let everyone knows that Ryan will not go to on a tune up fight before a Tank Davis clash.

He will rather have to wait for Davis to win against Hector Garcia then him waiting for the next 2-3 months next year. It could be a advantage or disadvantage for Ryan Garcia, advantage as he could focus and train just for Davis in that span of time. Or disadvantage because of ring rust  because it is close to a year without him fighting.

Yes you are right but without fighting almost a year then it's a good for train harder and study the strategy of his upcoming opponent. Maybe Garcia will take this advantage if tank Davis team will agree the fight and if this happen then this is a good fight as we all know how these two boxer  perform inside the ring. But Davis has enough time to practice which 3 months is good for him all ge need is to focus on training then for sure Davis make this fight better than other .

You are right, I am a person who appeals because I always believe that those boxers who have more time to train will do a better job, their body adapts, the exercise makes them stronger and they can apply or think about having a plan A, Plan B and even plan C, because when preparing is always better in advance, the fact of having more than 3 months can generate a good diet, work on speed, strength and resistance, it is all that is required for a fight, and make your technique is more and more perfect, the more practice, the stronger and more experienced the person becomes, time must be used very well.

Well now what Garcia expects:

Ryan Garcia expects Tank Davis to fold like any other fighter



Quote
By Allan Fox: Ryan Garcia believes Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis will crumble like any other fighter he’s faced when he catches him with a big shot in their mega-fight in April.

Ryan (23-0, 19 KOs) feels that Tank’s punch resistance isn’t extraordinary, and he’ll react like any average person if he lands his bread & butter punch on him.

It’s still questionable whether Tank (27-0, 25 KOs) will make it to the Ryan mega-fight because he’s got a risky tune-up against undefeated Hector Luis Garcia (16-0, 10 KOs) on January 7th, and that’s a match that he can lose.

I think it doesn't matter for Ryan. But one thing that will go for him is that the time, he will have a lot of it to train that hard because this is a huge fight and his body going to the period of getting in 136 lbs much longer, and then he will be fresh during the May fight.

As for Davis he will have to go to a battle and who knows, maybe he will be soften by Hector Garcia in their fight and give Davis a very difficult fight.

All in all, we just wanted to see this huge fight next year and no more delays.

Anything could happen, and our expectations could be ruined if one of them will lose in their respective fight. Davis has a tougher opponent compared to Ryan Garcia, so he has a better tuneup fight which will make him more prepared for this big event next year.

Of course, Davis will not leave Floyd if there relationship is good, so there could be some tension and their relationship could have been fractured many years ago, so there's something going on behind the scene that we really don't know.

But I reckon as most boxers-promoters sever separation, it's all about the money. And maybe Davis is not satisfied with the money that he is getting under Mayweather.

This article[1] state one of the issue why Davis wanted to leave Mayweather promotion.  It was stated that Mayweather is accused of wanting  Davis to lose against Roland Romero.  The last fight of Davis happens last May 28, 2022 and Mayweather wanted Davis to lose on that fight, the reason was unknown why Mayweather wanted Davis to sell the fight but probably Mayweather bet on the opponent LOL.

And maybe another reason is that Tank wanted to explore and have more options and see how it goes for him career wise.

It is also a possibility.  But of course, any boxer will leave his promoter if they wanted to blemish the boxer's untainted record.

Maybe you are right that mate and that's the reason why Mayweather wants Davis to lose against Rolando because maybe Mayweather bet on Ronald and once Davis will lose the game it's a big win for Mayweather. Or else there's a sabotage between the team of Davis and rolando.
But Davis must do nowadays is that he must look another promoter that can handle him without any connection against thier opponent.

Not sure if Mayweather will go to the extend of betting on the other guy and for Davis to lose the fight.

But in any case, yeah Davis seems to be out of Mayweather promotions. But if he is under PBC now, then I guess there's not much of a chance for him as there could be fights that is going to be difficult to make in the future, we all know that is boxing politics.

So we might get a treat here as this could be a landmark fight between a PBC or TGB against Golden Boy Promotions of Oscar Dela Hoya.

Rumor has it that Mayweather placed Rolly Romero against Davis in hopes that the latter will defeated because he severed their ties and I'm sure Mayweather didn't want that choice because Davis's fights gave them a big revenue for which Mayweather benefits too.

As of now, it's still unclear whether Gervonta Davis is with PBC and then there's some news that Davis had a discussion with Hearn to promote the fight in DAZN. I guess we will see it this coming months before their actual fight.

If that is a possible reason for Mayweather,

my take is Davis should prove things out and while at solo there are many promoters that will communicate
with him, he already has his own name in this sport, so it's not hard to market him.

If he wins this upcoming fight and gains good hypes from fans and those who are working around social medias,
it will be a win-win for Davis.

We know that the upcoming fight for Garcia will also be expected by fans and with a better handler, he will earn
a lot for that upcoming big fight.

It seems like Tank stays with PBC. Or is this also his last fight with PBC? Money is probably the main reason why Tank is leaving Mayweather Promotions. Maybe Floyd's asking share of the profit is a little high while his promotion is becoming garbage for years already as it is obviously becoming a dummy for PBC. Tank Davis if he still stays with PBC can just sign with TGB Promotions, the main dummy of PBC. 

Let's say Tank vs Garcia happens after they overcome their tune-ups. What's next to them? All the other big names from 135 to 140 are with ESPN.

Is he with PBC now? Wow, I haven't know that because I thought that he is now flying solo without any promoter after he fought Rolly Romero earlier this year and also, I've heard that Eddie Hearn was proposing to give him a guaranteed money to organize his fight against Ryan Garcia next year.

What's next? Depends on the outcome. Garcia will might vacate the belt eventually because of his weight and in the first place, I think he just want to prove that he's more dominant than Tank and he's not after the latter's title.

Yes, mate. All of Tank's previous fights were actually handled by PBC. Mayweather Promotions is only a name but it is actually PBC that's been dealing with tv networks Showtime and Fox. PBC is a de facto promoter and I don't understand why Al Haymon won't apply for a real promoter's license. Showtime will once again televise Tank's fight with Hector Garcia and since Mayweather Promotions is out, it is likely that TGB Promotions will be the official promoter of this event. TGB is the main dummy promotion used by PBC's events since authorities won't allow it without a licensed promoter.

If there's a poll in this thread, I would appreciate it.  Smiley
please OP hear me out.

I created the poll, however, only 3 have voted and one of them is me hehehe. My vote is for Ryan Garcia because of the reasons and the speculations that I have shared already.

In any case, @Baofeng, you are one of the boxing news events expert hehe. Would you speculate that this contract dispute of Tank Davis vs. Floyd Mayweather promotions will threaten if this event will happen or not?

I would speculate though that Davis is no longer with Floyd, we all know that the Romero's fight is his last fight with Floyd. Even Floyd says that nothing last forever, so basing on that, for sure he knows that his time with Davis is done already.

So if Floyd and PBC is out of the picture then definitely they have nothing to do with Tank already and he can pursue any fight he wants including the highly anticipated Ryan Garcia fight.

Floyd Mayweather in fact said those words but I don't really believe that Mayweather accepted it like nothing really happened between them. We know that Davis is one of Floyd's favorite cow in his stable because he can provide Mayweather's needs but, there's a but, Mayweather's connections are not as good as Bob Arum and Al Haymon that can lift up Tank's name higher and that is why Tank left him.

Of course, Davis will not leave Floyd if there relationship is good, so there could be some tension and their relationship could have been fractured many years ago, so there's something going on behind the scene that we really don't know.

Yes, that is very likely. I mean why would the players like Tank Davis leaves their promoter if they are well compensated every match they had, right? Most cases, just like you said, Tank already thought about this and waited for the most appropriate time to leave Mayweather. Aside from that, I believe Tank Davis did the right decision because his very limited when he's with Mayweather. He could've got few good fights that could've brought him a regular belt years ago.

Mayweather's actions towards Bob Arum way back 2006 bounced back at him because if you guys remember, Mayweather left Bob Arum after the latter brought him to the top and accused him of underpaying him. After Mayweather left Top Rank, he founded his own promotional company in the same year.

Now, Mayweather knows what it feels like to be left hanging on the air after all those things he had given to Tank Davis and yes, that is the exact same thing what Floyd did to Bob Arum. Although I argue that wasn't enough because if Mayweather was a really good promoter, he could've provide Tank good fights that has belts on the line or at least be a challenger while Devin Haney haven't had the belts on his possesion.

Right, and maybe this is one reason why Tank wanted to leave because he wanted to be known as well as a champion not just having like a interim belt or something. It seems that they really parted ways already but they don't want to make it public as of this time.

Maybe prior to the fight with Ryan Garcia or if there is a reporter that will ask Tank the whole story maybe he will tell us and confirmed that he is no longer with team Mayweather and his first fight w/o him. He has options to be a freelancer or just do what Canelo did, sign like 3 fight deal with other promotions and then see how it goes.

He has his name, but still needs a good promoter. Either way, he needs to choose one of the option as he had. Taking the road like
how Canelo deal with other promotions and see how things will work.

It might be tough to start alone knowing that there are huge numbers of good fighters and the chance of having a money fight or a title
fight will remain in the hands of a good negotiator.

Davis vs Garcia will be a good key to hype his name, though it won't be an easy journey as the young star is also trying to establish
his name inside this sport.

I had seen nearly 70 percentage of the forum people votes for the Tank Davis as compared to the the Ryan. Ryan had pool only 5% of the total votes, So the chance of Ryan was very low compared to the Tank. May weather will be the best promotor of this match. The player had made the announcement on the Instagram accounts. So it means they are ready to the matches. Hope we had good entertainment during 2023.

There are only a few voters so the advantage is not that huge. I voted for Ryan Garcia, which makes it 62.5% for Davis or 5/8. Anyway, it's not a big deal, the final pulse of this fight is based on the betting odds, and it's very obvious that Tank Davis is the favorite, just a slight favorite, so nothing to worry about.

By the way, even if Tank Davis will win this fight, I still believe that it will not be easy for Tank Davis, he will have to work hard to get this big win. This is probably the biggest fight of his career, so he is preparing for this fight with a tuneup fight before this big event.

Mayweather's actions towards Bob Arum way back 2006 bounced back at him because if you guys remember, Mayweather left Bob Arum after the latter brought him to the top and accused him of underpaying him. After Mayweather left Top Rank, he founded his own promotional company in the same year.

Now, Mayweather knows what it feels like to be left hanging on the air after all those things he had given to Tank Davis and yes, that is the exact same thing what Floyd did to Bob Arum. Although I argue that wasn't enough because if Mayweather was a really good promoter, he could've provide Tank good fights that has belts on the line or at least be a challenger while Devin Haney haven't had the belts on his possesion.
