Topic: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) - page 7. (Read 7547 times)

Davis used his quickness and high ring IQ in that fight. Ryan Garcia is undoubtedly a great boxer, but that was the battle of the best and the best fighter here was Tank Davis. There won't be a rematch, which is unnecessary anyway since Tank Davis won convincingly in their previous fight.

So, what do you think is next for Tank Davis? Who do you think he should fight next?

Davis and his team really work on their defense him on how he is going to docked and then throw that left hook either in the body and or the face of Ryan. So in the 2nd round it on the money, and put Ryan down.

And so maybe Ryan is complacent and waiting that Davis will throw up in his face again. But then again, Tank opted to change tactics and throw that perfect liver shot. So it's obvious that we train very hard and has strategy. Just too bad that Ryan gets knockout, but it seems he is man enough to take that first L in his career and maybe take a rest and be back in the last quarter of the year with maybe a tune up and cherry pick fight.

You said that it is just one loss, but it's his first loss so it has a different impact on himself. Well, I guess that's what I know since he didn't experience getting defeated on his professional boxing career until that one against Tank.

Tank is too much for him, and many already said that. Garcia is too vulnerable when he is throwing his signature left hook, and Davis took advantage of it. I saw it one time where Garcia tried to do his left hook, but Davis is too fast for him that he just dodged it, then Davis threw a left hook that caused Garcia to defend himself, but got damaged on that one for sure. Tank's IQ inside the ring is just too much for anybody in his division. I wonder who will try to fight him after this win.

Like I said previously, there's no need for a rematch on this one after that one-sided match. Just a suggestion, but since the fight is over, maybe it's time to lock the thread? 

True, I hope he accepts his loss and that it does not haunt him. It's just one loss, and he is still a good fighter. It might not be easy to come back to the top, but he is still young. As long as he learns from his mistakes, he will come back stronger, and he might have a chance to fight Tank Davis again.

As previously stated, if he loses, he will not have a rematch. Therefore, he needs to move on and come back physically and mentally strong.

Ryan Garcia has an issue regarding on his past depression so lets hope this will not came up to him and he don't take those lose as total big deal on his career since he can bounce back after that big lose of his career.

He just need to learn from what he experience to Tank Davis since it can help to his career if he strive more to became more better fighter and let that lost as big learning experience to him. Maybe for now Gervonta Davis is to much for him and he should do better more once their rematch will be set to happen again.

I'm pretty sure that there are many hardcore boxing fans tired of Tank cherry-picking his opponents over the years. Despite that, he is well-marketed by PBC and Showtime. And he is the biggest star of PBC and Showtime after Wilder's losses to Fury. Floyd Mayweather was the biggest superstar during his days and today his fans and supporters are in Tank's hype train. This also indicates that Showtime/PBC is nowhere near the level of DAZN/Matchroom when it comes to superstars of the sport and the talent flooded ESPN/Top Rank.

That being said, there is a big chance that Tank will become a champion. Haney is expected to beat Lomachenko and then will move up in weight which will vacate all 4 belts. Haney was already struggling since the rematch with Kambosos in making weight and I doubt he can hold for long. Tank has the regular WBA belt which means he will be elevated as WBA champion if Haney moves up in weight.

Jeez, mate! You need to relax and take a breath. You just got carried away by the popularity of Tank and Garcia. Tank just beat another undefeated prospect. Only that it is more popular than his previous cherry-picked opponents. Garcia is not a world champion. Tommy Fury beating popular Jake Paul doesn't mean he is on the same level as champions Opetaia, Okolie, etc.

Tank's never been in The Ring's and Transnational Boxing Rankings Board's top 10 pound-for-pound. And his win against another undefeated yet unproven and non-champion Ryan Garcia won't merit an entrance to the top 10 let alone at rank 1.

I guess it was premature to announce the Crawford vs. Spence match in the Garcia vs. Davis match. I don't think all are already set at this point even if the two already agreed to a fight. The announcement could also steal the limelight from both Garcia and Davis who were also staking their flawless records for the match. There should be another perfect time for that very big announcement, not the Garcia vs. Davis moment. Especially because neither promoters of the two fighters are promoters of either Crawford of Spence.

^ Lol, but it was obvious, when they released then news that something big might be announced on the Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis fight. Everyone speculated that it could be the one that we all been waiting for.

We even had a thread and I saw a sports bookies listing the fight if I'm not mistaken. Crawford is the slight favorite. So I guess all we can do is again, wait if there is such announcement that this fight is already sealed by both fighters.

For now we should all give credit to this two fighters, for giving us the fight we want and then Garcia admitting his defeat to Tank. And morals here is that we need boxers like this two, specially Ryan who give all to the demands of Tank just to make this fight.

Hehehe I was joking. It was already very clear that it was only an April Fools joke. I wished it was true, however. But it appears it might presently not become a reality.

In any case, that post of mine was deleted by a moderator. Who reported it? We do not have the right to make jokes in the forum anymore?

I wouldn't say it's a thrilling performance though, for me still very close fight up to that point. Yes, Tank scored a second round knock down, but in the pivotal round, Ryan is doing good until he throws that right and then Tank just duck and he sees the opening in his solar solar plexus. Every boxer, how good they are, if touches on the right spot of the body, they will just simply goes down like what happened to Ryan.

It was a delayed reaction though and that it normal because when boxers are hit on the right spot, they will not feel the effect immediately, so it's not instant. But once it take effect, it will really take the air out of you and the pain will linger throughout your body.

He didn't, it came from him that both of them talk about things but then he admits that it was a good match and Tank did really got him with that punch.

The match was clean and by that day, Tank was just the better fighter and got him on round 7. Congratulations still, to him and mostly to Tank for winning that bout.

He has surely a lot to learn on this experience.

I think they won't gonna put pressure on him after his loss and will gonna match up with someone who is not really that matter at all in that weight division. After all, it was a good experience for Garcia to reach his limit and learn from it so that he knows where he needs to improve his skills in order to avoid such things to happen again. When it comes to his punches and speed, it's right there but it's not enough when you have a weak body and can take few power punches and cannot successfully defend it. right now, he needs to improve and build a strong defense on that side because it will surely be the target of his next opponents.

I agree the result won't change and I still think it would be a knockout not by the body shot but by a punch that landed on the jaw and the KO would have been much more beautiful than just sitting and gasping for breath.  Honestly, I don't think Ryan even gives Tank a challenge.  Almost all punches of Ryan Garcia were predicted and blocked by Davis and the KD in 2nd round was so fast that people behind the boxer won't notice the punch that made Ryan down in the 2nd round.


I think Ryan would know what he is lacking now.  Sometimes a boxer needs a defeat in order to see his shortcomings.

I already assume that few weeks after this fight, after we know the winner of Lomachenko vs Haney fight, there will be a hype that will surface soon, and people will start calling for Gervonta Davis to fight the current undisputed champion next because that is indeed the right thing to do. People are already tired seeing Davis fighting a less risky opponent as that's what he did in the past or what Mayweather did. But since he is now not with Mayweather, I guess there will be no issue for that fight to happen.

Why wont be staying a while on this division first before going into higher? If he cant able to beat up on the current one then how much more into the one step up?. Its true that if you do look at on gap
with experience then its really that notable plus when it comes to power then Tank does dive out more. When it comes to speed then Garcia might be that fast but Tank isnt that getting behind either
but those clean solid punches did really knock him out on R7. When it comes to odds then it isnt really just that too far off but still a good considerable win for those who do bet on Davis obviously.

A possible rematch? I dont think so but it would really be depending on Ryan's team if they would really be reconsidering out but i would say that they would
really be that still far before they could be able to knock Tank but well who knows?

It's common for the losing side to find excuses but ye sure he could have dehydrated to achieve the weight as it's also a common thing to do not just in boxing. So he isn't 100% healthy while fighting but that wouldn't be Tank's fault, after all, Ryan also landed good shots.

The recent update was indeed he will be moving to 140 which is a more challenging division because of the more skilled men up there. Ryan is exposed and this could lead to another loss for him.
 

Damn, I predicted a KO in round 9, so close...

Dehydration is a problem, but it won't make much difference in the result anyway IMO, the level gap is too big. Tank is in his prime and a highly skilled powerful Southpaw boxer... He's unbeatable at this weight class.

Ry should've sharpened his skill more and become a more mature boxer before facing an opponent like Tank.

This is on him for getting cocky for thinking that Gervonta Davis is afraid of him, and for giving those catchweight and rehydration conditions that Tank Davis has come up with to weaken Ryan Garcia I think this could become a great lesson for Ryan Garcia but as you have said despite he lost to Gervonta Davis the name Ryan Garcia is still a big name in the industry of boxing, surely not the result he expected but Gervonta Davis truly has a fox-like personality, he is shrewd, sly and tricky to the core


As I can see the fight Gervonta Davis surely showed his fight IQ, he is not really that aggressive but if given a chance he would surely take it, Ryan Garcia out of desperation is throwing those left hooks that he is so proud of out of thin air, and he threw that 4 times to Gervonta Davis, and Tank Davis has evaded them like nothing, and with the 1st knockdown of Ryan Garcia Davis doesn't become aggressive and still goes with his game plan, while other fighters will be temp in going with a follow up with that 1st knockdown of Garcia, Gervonta Davis has stayed composed and calm the whole fight,

That 2nd round knockdown took away Ryan Garcia's confidence.  And the 7th round body shot took the breath away from Ryan Garcia.  If a fighter is underhydration, he is susceptible to body attack and the shot to the body seems not that strong but if the boxer can't stand it, it is an easy victory to he guy who landed the punch. 



Well, I think Ryan Garcia look drained, he is not 100% conditioned on the fight.  You can see it on Ryan Garcia's face.  Tank Davis just got the better of Ryan Garcia because he fought a not 100% Ryan Garcia, he would possibly have a hard time beating the guy if Garcia is 100% rehydrated.

Just like you said, it was just a rumor, it was clear as day that Ryan Garcia was confident on that fight because the result will determine whether he can move mountains to defeat the current undisputed at 135 which is Devin Haney. Because if ever he was successful on that fight, that will boost his career even more and I won't be surprised if the people will start on calling for the undisputed champion to fight Ryan Garcia.

But since that didn't happen, he will now start from scratch because that defeat he got made him look an amateur or even less than that. That Round 2 for me already defined the outcome of the fight because if Ryan Garcia can't give back the favor then it's already safe to say that Tank will win even if Garcia can survive the whole 12 rounds.
