Re: Gervonta Davis v Ryan Garcia 4/22
So the venue they did the weigh in was packed, seems this unfortunately will be quite a success. This will reinforce that you don’t need to fight the best to build stars.
Been on boxing message boards talking about boxing’s downfall for like 20 years and it’s clear they are never going to fix it. We’re stuck to talk about the Welterweights of the 80s, the heavyweights of the 70s. We have had so many times where a division is briefly stacked and all they had to do was fight, win or lose they would elevate to greatness. And here we are, Teo has already left the division, Loma refused Mickey and is aging out, Tank won’t fight the top guys. Had a shot at a great little era and so quickly it’s nearly gone. As have so many other chances at great little eras
Or Ryan is far better than his feet, his poor foot placement, his seeming ability to only move in direct lines and his chin in the air suggest and this post is stupid

Re: Gervonta Davis v Ryan Garcia 4/22
Boxing loses no matter who wins. Especially when both insist THEY will be the face of boxing should they win tonight. Ridiculous. Especially coming from Ryan. Again... if I'm stuck rooting for one of them, I guess I'll pick Davis... 'cause I can't stomach what the Instagram King stands for.

Yup, Ryan winning would be the worst possible outcome for the sort. A guy builds his brand on IG and becomes a PPV star without ever winning a title. Nightmare

I give all fighters credit for getting in the ring but when you get the biggest possible bag it’s less credit, not more

Re: Gervonta Davis v Ryan Garcia 4/22
Didn't think of it like that at first but case makes itself. Garcia has natural talent but can be said he's taken big shortcuts, bit smoke & mirrors when it comes to actual hard carved ring accomplishment and build versus leaning hard into the social media creation and reliance. When he opted out of keeping busy with Gesta in an actual fight and just sat around making more vids of pad work, speaks volumes.Yup, Ryan winning would be the worst possible outcome for the sort.

Think the fight also benefits from fans starving for these 'stars' to shake the phobia of simply being active. Years ago this is a main or co main on hbo like so many other cases of top contenders-title holders wanting to face top challenges. Used to be a thing. A mentality and level of expectation.

DLH is as much to blame for the manufactured hype for this fight as anyone else. Understandably so, as Oscar is Ryan's promoter and is perfectly willing to whore himself out... if it keeps him relevant and in the money.
But he does boxing no favors when he claims... "this is the fight to save boxing."
"Save boxing??" By pushing a fighter totally made on social media?? What a douche...
If Garcia wins and begins topping p4p lists and becomes "the face of boxing"... maybe it's time to stop following fighters the traditional way... and get a Tik Tok account.
