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 .
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.
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
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.
