    • Tank has little man syndrome haha. All men over 6 foot like myself count your blessings everyday, because manlets (5’9 and under) get no p*ssy unless they pay for it or statusmaxxed

      • Thats funny im only 5/6 an in my younger days i didn’t have a problem getting women at all i dont think u realy get much of anything ur mouthy like the rest of ur type “fakes” nothing but talk scared of shorter men remember king David an goliath

    • You could win good money betting that but Tank is a big favorite for a reason. Don’t see any of the current lightweights beating him.

    • Ryan chin is suspect,he better be throwing the jab and keeping Tank out of range. I think it’s a matter of time Tank catches a mistake and puts him to sleep

  • There should be another weigh in tomorrow 10 am because the fancy lady rank requested ryan don’t weight more than 146 lbs tomorrow… what a coward and he act like he is tough …anyway kingry by close decision

    • Haymon won’t allow for a decision to go in Garcia’s favor. In order for that to happen, Garcia needs at least a knockdown am complete domination. 118-110 will end up being either 114-114 or 114-113.

    • Take the fight or you don’t. Be a man and accept or reject the offer. He said “I do”. Period… If you want it then you do what you need to do to get it.

    • @Colson, I really want to know what you mean by ‘thug’ culture? Is that a code phrase for an underlying bias ?

      • It refers to the ‘mindless’ behaviour I witnessed at the weigh-in. Call it whatever you like.

    • Some of us were blessed not to have to grow up in Bodymore Murdaland, go visit and I guarantee you will find time for “thug life” if u wanna survive.

  • The goods and bads

    The good of tank
    – great upper cut
    – hits harder than ryan
    – quick attack
    – good muscle core

    The bad
    – easy to get outboxed
    – lack of reach

    The good of ryan
    – the most lethal left hand on boxing todays
    – lightning speed
    – size and reach

    The bad
    – leave chin often frequently
    – lack of quality oposition

    Ryan should stay away of tank upper cut and don’t let him fight inside

    Tank should be careful with ryan left hand

    My prediction

    Ryan by close decicion

    • I think you touched on something that is a big issue. Tank can be outworked. Everyone is expecting someone to touch up the other, but I think there’s a chance this becomes workmanlike. I think Tank if by KO, Kingry is it goes the distance.

  • What time is the second weigh in for Ryan Garcia? Is it tomorrow morning or right before the fight? Props for Ryan for taking this fight under those circumstances. if Tank had been fair he wouldn’t have given Garcia a weight limit the day of the fight.

    • This is at a catch weight, Ryan could’ve fought at 135 for the title and there would’ve been no 10 lb clause. This will be the excuse after he get ok’d, he’s been mentioning it ever since he signed the contract. They both can’t gain over 10 lbs so it’s equal.

    • Not sure of the time, sometime in the morning. The weight is no more than 146 I think for both of them. Both guys looked strong and neither looked drained today, yesterday Tank looked a little dry.

  • I pick Davis by KO. I am not a big fan of either but I feel Davis has more confidence in himself. I maybe be stuck on this but I have felt Garcia was mentally shaken by his fight with Luke Campbell. He has only had two fights since. I believe that when someone has lost their nerve they can overcompensate but running towards the most dangerous obstacle they can find. While I respect a person for facing their fear in such a bold manner I still sense it is fear and not the healthy kind. When he feels the power of Davis I think it will be too much for him to mentally and therefore physically overcome. Hey maybe I am overthinking it…after all I picked Joy Joyce last week…LOL!!!

  • I pick Tank by late round stoppage, say 9. I think Garcia will put up a good fight, but eventually succumb to Tanks heavy hands and experience.

    • I agree. Tank TKO. Tank is too powerful of a counter puncher and Garcia’s defense is lacking. Garcia has developed a bad habit of leaving his head open for a target.

  • Easy unanimous decision for garcia!

    Garcia keeps him on outside and uses speed then ties him up on inside.

  • Tank will see the diference of fight taxi drivers , old fighters , out of weight class fighters and fight a real sharp fighter like Ryan

  • Why would anyone support low life Davis????

    Feb. 4, 2020: Davis was charged with simple battery domestic violence
    Nov. 5, 2020: Davis was accused of fleeing the scene of an accident that involved four people, including a pregnant woman,
    Dec. 27, 2022: Davis was arrested after allegedly striking a woman with a “closed hand type slap.”

    • As a boxer he is one of the elite of the sport. He is not going to lose to Ryan Garcia. Tank by late stoppage

    • Bro everyone makes mistakes bro u don’t know what was on his mind for this to happen everyone is ok and living um pretty sure u got some shit n yo closet bro don’t down talk my people speak positive bro it’s all bout love that’s hats wrong with the world now

      • MISTAKES? ARE YOU freaking kidding me? that is your excuse for low life Davis. IT IS NOT A MISTAKE, ITS A LIFE STYLE. HE’S A WOMEN BEATER, A COWARD.
        DAVIS HIMSELF IS A MISTAKE.

  • I completely read over the catch weight. This changes the possible outcome of the bout. If Garcia actually dominates, he might get the decision since there’s no belt on the line. They’re hedging their bets.

    I like Garcia to win by 9th round too, but logic says Tank around the same time.

  • Really hard to pick the winner, judging could ruin the fight,,,a “neutural” referee could make it boring .
    Hopefully it’s a rippa of a fight and boxing wins the day.

  • Ryan looks good, I sense Tank is a bit worried, I may be wrong, however, I believe if Ryan starts fast and does some serious damage early he can get Tank out NLT 8 rounds. If Tank wins he should be unanimous selection for the P4P fighter.

    • LMAOOOOOOO Why should this make Tank #1 pond for pound fighter when he didn’t even clean out his division? not anywhere close to cleaning out his division

  • Tank will close the show by or before the 9th round. Garcia’s confidence is so over-inflated it’s pathetic!

  • Can’t say I’ve heard of a 2nd weigh in. Not sure which camp demanded this in contract. But someone is not confident

  • if campbell can knock down ryan, imagine what tank can do? Tank by TKO in the 11th round!!

    • Style makes fight there is not logistic in boxing tank won’t touch ryan with those short arms and when try to hit him Garcia will catch him in the air

  • Can we talk about how drained Garcia looks? The first thing he said when asked a question was that he wants to eat. But after that meal he still has to watch what he eat to stay within the ten pound limit 7 hours before the show starts. Only one pound shy of the lightweight limit with a rehydration clause. I’d rather weigh in at 135 without it.. if they wanted a rehydration they should’ve gave him at least more than a pound. Then on top of that 5 hours after Dawn.. I’d rather give up a percentage of the purse than agree to those stipulations. Or at least both meet in the middle.. 137-138 with rehydration would’ve been more fair. They talk about a Mole but imo, if there was one I’d say it’s Oscar. They’ve made way too much money together.. it’s almost like their business theme is for Oscar to feed them cash cows. I wonder if that’s why they “Hate” him so much .. nevertheless, at least it’s happening. It’ll be a good night of boxing, there will be money made and if Garcia loses he’ll have the rematch clause to blame. Win win.. I guess

  • Ryan is better fighter than tank , tank don’t how attack , he is good as long as his opponent come to him otherwise he will be neutralized

  • When people try to use the logistic in boxing is when I know that person does not know about boxing

    Ryan style will be so difficult for tank

    Ryan won’t go straight forward like Romero

    And tank doesn’t know attack unless you look for him

  • I didnt realise thst Tank had such a large head. He looks like a lifesize
    ” funko pop” character. After seeing Tank grab his a woman by the neck while watching a celebrity bssketball match im rooting for Ryan.

  • Tonight is the beginning of the end for Davis career ..he’s a mental midget ..you see it in his eyes. It goes beyond his articulation. Him and his team are extremely low iq..zab is a genius next to him and Davis career will go much of the same way as zabs

  • Anyone who doesn’t think Tank will find Ryan’s chin…better think again before laying money down on this fight. That said…it should be a hell of a fight.

  • it’s funny how people are calling tank scary for making a catch weight but no one says nuthing about a junior welterweight who’s be probably big enough for 147 division who calls out a 5’5 lightweight

  • Garcia will win this fight. he took this fight and gsve up so much because he knows after he beats Tank everybody gotta come see him

  • I see the youtuber queenry going to bed early! KO in the 6, his chin is very questionable!

  • Gervonta Davis is on steroids, EPO Hormones and other P.E.D.s.
    That’s why Davis made up an earlier excuse that “he has a snitch in Garcia’s camp”, to make people think that a “snitch” will help him win, when in fact its the illegal P.E.D.s that he has inside his body that will make him cheat his way to an undeserving victory over Garcia.

  • This fight could be similar to Calzaghe vs Lacy. Even Calzaghe’s own countrymen were giving him little chance against the unbeaten wrecking ball that was Lacy.

    Calzaghe completely outboxed and outworked Lacy, made him look silly and generally made his face a mess. Lacy was never the same again. Calzaghe was seen as having brittle hands and had been down a few times in previous bouts. He was considered to be at the end of his reign as WBO champ. I see this as a similar fight – bad boy puncher vs speedy boxer.

    Tank has been avoiding the top players in his weight class for years, playing on his bad boy image to sell the fight. If Garcia’s as good as he claims, this could be a cakewalk for him, as speed and skill will 9 times out of 10 beat a puncher.

    Let’s see how good Garcia is. If he gets nailed by a big Tank shot, he is likely to go down. But if he can keep him at range, it might be a late stoppage due to Tank’s face being a bloody mess.

    I don’t particularly like either fighter but I can appreciate each boxer’s skillset. Tank’s a bully with domestic abuse issues and Garcia’s full of his own self importance and social media likes. However, props to both for actually having the balls to make the bout.

    Great fight. Garcia late TKO 9-10 by eye injury.

  • I will not see it as an upset, Ryan has all the tools needed to use Davis head as a speed bag.

  • this is a total mismatch favoring davis, remember ryan never had a tune up fight and ryan hasnt fought since july 16 2022?
