4/22 SHO DAZN PPV Gervonta “Tank” Davis vs Ryan “The Flash” Garcia
- Thread starter Agent Mulder
- Start date
Not gonna lie, it gives me vibes tank thinks he's a legit threat and by draining him only way he can get a serious advantage. I don't hold Ryan to that high of a pedigree, so to see tank have to drain the man who probably walks around i at 146-150s make me question.
Also it tells me Ryan and his handlers are fairly confident he can win this fight.
Being the A side has advantages. Tank is just capitalizing on them.
And Ryan been fighting at 135 pretty much his whole career. How heavy do he want to come in at? He technically could really come in as heavy as he likes and just take the fine. It's not like a belt is on the line.

how much did he study past southpaws like Sweet Pea, Winky, Zab, Pac, Hagler in particular
Tank wanted to fight at 135, his words today. 136 is a concession favoring Ryan but the narrative being pushed is that Tank requested the catchweight and rehydration clause.
Tank isn’t a big guy so he should just let Ryan come in as a middleweight? It’s good enough for Canelo, it’s good enough for Tank.
Rumble, black man, rumble.

Dudes make no sense. He’s draining when the rehydration is 10lbs from weigh-in. According to you that’s fair unless he walks around closer to 160-170.

Tank is the A side. And Ryan is the one who made the challenge. You can't challenge someone then say "ok move up". And the timing of Ryan leaving 135 was always funny to me. It felt like he was doing it for exactly this reason. He thought he was gonna be able to force tank up to 140 but tank wasn't having it. Ryan should be grateful he even got 1 lb. Tank really didn't have to give him anything.
This. Dude Ness from Tha Boxing Voice is really hard up about this and making it a thing. Talking about he wanted a fair fight and because Tank fought one time at 140, now it supposed to be a life sentence.
Yes having a rehydration clause on top of an already catch weight for an already bigger fighter is hoe shyt. There's nothing else to it besides to take advantage of the fighter being weaker at the fight.
The catch weight itself would be fine, the rehydration clause on top of it is disgusting.
my nikka shady still making nikkas furious in the year of our Lord 2023

The Takeover
I like Tank but he need to quit getting mad when people say his resume is weak or whatever
nikka you ain't fought nobody what you want people to say?
truthfully both guys havent...tank is lucky that he at least won a legit belt in the ring
I mean I get hes A side, and should exercise every advantage possible but he didnt put Barrios under any such caveats who was a actual belt holder at 140
So it just seems like despite tha bravado he really respect Garcia ability

DOPAMINE FOR MY BABY!!
I wouldn't read into the stipulations at all... That's just hardball being played between GBP/PBC/TMT whatever promotions.
I really sincerely doubt Davis asked for or cares deeply about anything beyond the split.
