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

GERVONTA DAVIS may face jail time after pleading guilty to four traffic offences in relation to a hit-and-run.

But the boxing ace WILL get to fight Ryan Garcia on April 15 as his sentencing hearing is not until May 5.

Davis, 28, allegedly crashed his Lamborghini into another car in November 2020 after running a red light.

Four people were treated in hospital for injuries, and Davis was charged with 14 various traffic violations in March 2021.

The American had been hoping to avoid jail time after accepting a plea deal last September.

But this was thrown out following a plea from one of the victims who was pregnant at the time of the incident.

However, a new plea deal has been approved, with Davis admitting his guilt to four offences related to the hit-and-run.

Davis will discover if he faces jail time at a later hearing on May 5.

And it means his anticipated April 15 bout against Garcia can go ahead.

The duo were in the finishing stages of striking a deal, with just the uncertainty of Davis’ sentencing holding up a final agreement.

But talks can now advance with Davis’ fate to be decided almost a month later.

The Baltimore-born brawler has won all 28 of his professional bouts, with 26 coming by knockout.

And he faces his toughest test yet in Garcia, 24, who is victorious in all of his 23 fights.

sounds like both guys have signed their contracts

do we need a new thread? let's hope they make it to the ring

[Primo Carnera]

Looks like it’s on. Definitely a fight to look forward to. Contrasting styles and characters. This is what Boxing is all about. Let’s hope we see more matchups like this.

jaron boots ennis & william zepeda could be on the card

A much-anticipated fight between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia has been scheduled for 22 April in Las Vegas.

The American boxers posted on social media confirming the bout, while Golden Boy Promotions announced the deal had been done for the pair to meet.

Davis, 28, defended his WBA 'regular' lightweight title in January and has 26 knockouts in his 28 unbeaten fights.

Garcia last fought in July 2022 when he beat Javier Fortuna and the 24-year-old has a 23-0 record, with 19 knockouts.

Their meeting is expected to be a non-title 136lb catchweight fight and a venue has yet to be announced.

The bout has been scheduled after rival promoters and broadcasters had months of negotiations.

Showtime, Davis' and promoter Premier Boxing Champions' long-time network, has agreed a deal with DAZN, the streaming service which is the home of Garcia, who competes for Oscar de la Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.

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.
