Gervonta Davis v Ryan Garcia 4/22

[TIC]

Ryan is a self absorbed little tart but should Tank and Garcia make a fight..they won't..not gonna happen..I'd pay under 40 bucks and a cheese sandwich for it. Pretty clear Tank isn't interested in the highschool hijinks and doesn't count social media followers as actual friends, but Tank needs a huge fight. Huge in decent threat, huge in familiar name (familiar for what is debatable) and another that would sell-push the buy rates up. Forget that clowny Rolly Romero stuff. That was a step backwards for Tank who is already 28 and ten years in. Shit or get off the pot son. That said I think Tank would smoke Ryan before the late rounds. Davis would feast on his defensive lapses. But alas..that fight isn't happening.

i doubt the fight happens either, both guys are just using each other for promotion. if the fight happens great, if not tank needs to give isaac a rematch, ryan has options at one forty & one thirty five

It never was a megafight. No one was talking about Garcia at anytime until he and Golden Boy started to jump on Tank's hype.

Not a mega fight but a great matchup. Won't happen though.

Truthfully ? As we have seen this wk with the Nury Martinez situation most hispanics hate black ppl. So I'll be supporting Tank

Another nugget of wisdom from our resident racist.

Ridiculous comment aside... I'll be supporting Tank too. Ryan is an Instagram-princess, mega-hype job... and he's about to get his pretty boy ass handed to him by Tank.

talk is this fight might happen in january at a one thirty six catchweight

Article talks about some of the factors that could still derail the fight. I hope not. I hope to hell it happens.

My favorite part of the article:

"If Tank doesn’t fight Ryan (23-0, 19 KOs) now, he could miss out on his chance to be the first one to defeat the popular social media star before he gets worked over by the top 140-pounders.

Once Ryan begins fighting quality light welterweights, his unbeaten record is likely to come to a grinding halt because those guys hit a lot harder than the lesser opposition that he’s been facing thus far."

Damn good point. Here's hoping the fight gets made, so Tank can flatten Ryan "Santa Cruz style."

sounds like the networks might kill this fight as well

[Ron Swanson]

Between the 2 of them they have 1 real championship fight with a championship level fighter at the fighters natural weight. So no, it isn’t close to a mega fight. But somehow it will sell better than Loma/Haney, that’s a reflection on society

Well I was wrong. Thankfully so! Awesome that they got the work done to make this fight come off. To original title not sure I'd say -megafight- in the traditional sense. It's big, it's awesome and needed for a stacked division. Two of the best. Both...much more so Garcia...have created and meshed their social media habits and followings into some in ring assumptions and expectations. Thing is though, wasn't too long ago that this top tier contender match was norm on the big networks. Really looking forward to it. Only hope the court dates and problems of Tank don't torpedo it. Also hope they match Boots tough in his 31st start, it's a huge show and needed opportunity to shine.

[TIC]

well done to everyone involved for getting it done

[TitoFan]

Tough for me to root for a woman beater here...

But I'm pulling for a Davis KTFO victory in this one. Even if he gets his winner's share while doing time.

Let’s get to the important stuff, who has worse tattoos?

[Big J]

This is a good fight
It also shows that fights can be made when the fighters want it

[Denilson3.0]

Nothing beats a good old Black Vs Mexican fight. This is a great fight.

You have to wonder if this fight would have happened if Tank wasn't potentially facing 3 years in Shawshank. A 136 catchweight ? So they're splitting hairs over a pound now ? Tank plays with his food too much and is always looking to set up the KO. That's gonna be his downfall.

I always support the black fighter in big racial fights like this even if I don't like the guy and I'm not big Gervonta fan personally but he's not in with another 126-130 pounder who has been dragged up in weight, a domestic level or a club fighter, a street vendor from the outskirts of Managua, or a shot leprechaun from Guadalajara. He's in with a big punching, rangy, super fast career 135 pounder young hungry lion who can turn his lights out in the blink of an eye if he makes the slightest mistake.

Twitchy sizing up first by both. Ryan staying tall working jab but Tank is reading him overtime. Even if anything. Ryan on the offence out for 2nd
