Ohh. That's a tough sell for a ppv. Can't see myself dropping $90 for a single course meal . Want to see Morrell but this card has 1001 between bout interviews and commercials written all over it.

The fight is not PPV in the UK which is very kind by DAZN.

I'm seeing this as a Mayweather v Corrales type defining fight. This fight will separate the top tier from the second tier fighter in both of these men.

Ugh, rehashing my worst weight cut now. I had one go so wrong I was on the toilet drinking water and shitting it out simultaneously. Only getting off the toilet long enough to refill the jug to do it again. Spent 8 hours on the toilet chugging water and lost more weight because it was just going straight through. I was so broken by the end of it i literally called my mom to come get me. Eventually enough had entered my system I guess because it stopped coming out the moment I drank it. Then I could drink less and hydrate. All for nothing because I was medically pulled

[TitoFan]

Uhh... I imagine you were probably aiming for the Ask the Trainer board maybe?

Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia agree winner-takes-all bet ahead of grudge fight

'Tank' shouted at his rival: "Yo, you wanna bet?. Garcia then responded: "Yeah, let's do it. I'm down." Davis then added the condition to the bet: "The whole purse?" Before Garcia rounded off the bet and confirmed his agreement, adding: "Let's do it the whole purse. You hear me on the live, let's go, let's make a contract, let's sign it, both of us."

Reports indicate that Davis will likely earn around £1.2 million prior to his split of the pay-per-view revenue with Garcia a fraction at around £300,000. Both fighters will be hoping that the showdown will spark significant interest, with the engagement prior to the fight seen as a roaring success so far.

Davis himself has suggested he will eye bigger-and-better title fights in the future with the winner of Devin Haney's huge fight against Vasyl Lomachenko just a month later potentially on his mind. Meanwhile Garcia will be hoping to propel himself into stardom and hijack that position having already beaten the likes of Luke Campbell and Javier Fortuna.

Who's the author kidding??

InstaKing has ALREADY achieved stardom. At least by the measuring stick we're using nowadays. He's a young, handsome twerp with a zillion social media groupies and one legitimately impressive victory in his resume. These days, that's enough to propel you to so-called stardom. Gone are the days when you actually had to EARN your way to the top.

Can't stand either one of them... but I gotta root for one. So here's hoping "woman-beater" Davis knocks InstaKing pretty boy flat on his back.

ryan garcia told tank he's going to hit him with his check hook. how do you beat the check hook?

ryan garcia told tank he's going to hit him with his check hook. how do you beat the check hook?

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Check hook is probably the one thing Garcia does efficiently. Hes throws with with speed and power on the inside. So hes going to look for Tank to lead with his face (which he has done from time to time, inexplicably and got caught) Because tanks a southpaw and garcia is a ortho, the lead foots are going to be matched up on the same side. Which makes distance a factor and probably gives Garcia an edge while they're both fresh due, to his height. It could be a short night if tank gets caught over extended or jumping in without a set up.

Tank needs to keep Garcia off balance, Jabs and shots to the body. Mix it up to the body and head. Keep his hands tight. In most instances its in a fighters best interest to circle away from the power hand. If tanks been working on his head movement, hes decent at slipping under shots, he can circle the other way briefly. He also switches up sometimes and that can be used to confuse Garcia. If tank is sharp, While circling towards garcias right, he can feint garcia to get Garcia to throw that check hook potshot and take his elbow away from his side, exposing Garcias liver to Tanks counter with his power hand. It might be worth it to work the body and throw on the belt and soften garcia, take away his movement and keep his elbows in as he has a bad habit of hanging his chin in the air and closing his eyes on those hooks. Start low, go high..

Oddly been below the radar leading into this though it is a very key and overdue match up. I think part of it is I haven't "paid" to see Tank fight since the Santa Cruz quality ko and Ryan honestly has not been overly memorable for two+ years now imo with the Campbell fight. Different avenues to making this one as it was largely in social media beefs and fandom clicking along for the ride. Both not exactly set to a major build with fan and fight accessibility. People are actually using Tank in the same sentence with Mayweather off a win . And while either winner gets massive boost and I can't stand Mayweather...that's just insane with the comparison. Now as far as buzz, hype trains and admittedly the man can draw a crowd. But accomplishment wise though its literally night and day. But here we are and it's a quality face off, winner should be right in line for Haney-Loma winner in we're fortunate. Ryan is dangerous from the first bell but at the tend of the day I'm not convinced he has the full depth and respect for his own defense to come out a W. Defensive lapses and that frustrating stiff neck/head he keeps in place. He is a pretty tightly wound guy, nerves. Can see scenario with him ahead being mindful and actually exploiting range-size-speed difference very well mid-late but cannot get away from Tank catching up at some point for tko. Going to be very interesting style wise.
