That means that oddsmakers think there is 64% chance of Davis winning while giving Garcia a 36% chance.
I will agree with these odds and bet for Tank.
Compared to Garcia, his combos and movement seem way more composed and technical, and being a southpaw doesn't hurt his changes. While Garcia seem to rely on his natural unpolished talent, and just raw aggressive fast style, using surprisingly quick and powerful attacks even as a defence. Even though those look clumsy compared to Tank, he seem to get ton of power under them somehow.
My guess is that Garcia's style of defence won't work agaisnt technically skilled combos by Tank. Garcia's aggressive style is intimidating but very much defeatable and while his height and reach seem to do add to that and give him confidence, it's all appearances and something that can be taken away fast.
What a great way of describing both boxers, you surely have aced the pie mate!
What you said was correct, Ryan Garcia is just relying on his raw predictable skills, he is just using his speed to create an opening to give deadly punches that will surprise his foes but this will be different because Tank Davis is not yet on his dictionary. He haven't yet fought another boxer who got more skillset and talent than him, that is why Ryan got almost no advantage other than his size which certainly means that his chances against Tank Davis is not that pretty.
And that's what make this fight very interesting and intriguing to say the least. Both has the ability and has his own skillset. Although Ryan is taller, but somewhat he doesn't have the movement, he just chase his opponent and Davis might caught him with his upper cut or even a left hook.
Not sure what Goosen's strategy for Ryan because they really need to have a plan as they can't go right directly on that power of Tank just like what Rolly Romero did. He thinks that he can take Take the power, but he was very wrong because once it hit his chin, it was over. And Ryan jaw has been tested already, although he recuperated, at least he has taste the canvass already and it was a left hook that put him down.
Well, unlike you, I do think that Garcia has a lot of chances of winning, Tank Davis undoubtedly has a lot of strength and is a boxer who has a lot of skill, without scoring any, if I were Garcia I would keep a little distance from him because if he hits one of those hooks will leave me on the verge of a knockout, but of course it is the way I have studied his fighting style, Garcia is more versatile, he has a lot of mobility and he will not get close until he is ready to land accurate blows and that They can do considerable damage to him, because Davis has a lot of technique and I have seen that he knows how to manage round times very well.
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.
If there's a poll in this thread, I would appreciate it.
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.
Well if this is so then could this meeting take place? because it must not be denied that Floyd has many contacts and is well recognized, in addition to his influences being quite good in the world of boxing, anyone who is or who is recommended by Floyd from his organization gets more attention than anyone else, However, I think that each one seeks or makes his own luck, if he saw something that he did not like about that organization, he will have good reasons, indisputable, because only those who are involved are the ones who know everything and how things are handled. things at that level, for me there was some clash regarding money, earnings or something.
