It's exciting to watch fighters that have no loss as one will be guaranteed to get his first loss. Congratulations to Tank Davis. Despite the difference with their height, those solid punches has connected against Garcia.
That sudden fall on his knee on round 7, that was unexpected. Ryan was exhausted.
There were rumors that Ryan Garcia just quit on this fight, specially after that 2nd round knockout of his. But I'm looking at the replay of the body shot he got from Tank, and it seems legit, it has power behind that punch and his body was exposed, very vulnerable for a body shot.
And with that win, I shoot up Tank to be my #1 p4p list, followed by Naoya Inoue.
How about everyone? What do you think of Tank's performance here, are you with me ranking him the top p4p boxer right now?
That's a legit knockout there because that's some sort of expected, I mean when you cut your weight you are just vulnerable to body shots. That round 2 knockdown temporarily zaps out the confidence of Garcia and he fought a defensive fight after that but got careless again in rounds 6 and 7 and got aggressive which what was Davis is waiting for, him to commit mistakes and the rest is history
.
For me, that's a status quo, I mean he stays in the ranking wherever he is because that fight is not fought in a fair field. They took the only advantage of Garcia which is his size and nothing is left for him to brag about but still a good fight for Tank though.
If he could beat the winner of Haney vs Loma then I could say that he will go up in the rankings as that could be a legit fight for him or if he could beat Shakur Stevenson that I could say that he is a dog in the lightweight division.
Those that are saying that it's just a way for him to quit, I don't think that it will be taken by his pride. I'm sure that he's even going to say that was a solid hit and he really just felt when he fell.
Gervonta is still undefeated. Well done.
