  • I hope this turns out to be an exciting fight between two young champions in their prime. I am a fan of both of these knockout artists but If I had to make a bet I’d go with Tank only because Ryan has been hurt and dropped.

    • Also Tank is multi-dimensional. He’s not just a “knockout artist.” He has great good work, high IQ and has had greater tests. Ryan has an advantage in speed but primarily just has a left hook.

  • I am still picking Garcia for this fight.

    Garcia better keep his **%#^^* chin tucked and hands up or else he will lose by TKO or KO.

  • Unanimous decision for garcia. Jab, jab, jab, hook off jab. Tie up when Davis gets inside. Wash rinse repeat.

    • Sounds like a Tyson Fury plan. Fury is the master of holding on the inside. 🙂

    • It doesn’t have to be a pretty fight. This scenario is totally doable and I would not be shocked. But Ryan had to gain the respect early in to cause some sort of hesitation from Davis trying to get inside.

  • Tank’s counter punching will be one of the keys to his victory in this fight. Garcia may have great hand speed with his offense, but he lacks in his defense with limited head movement. Unless Garcia has improved in his head movement and lateral body movement, I feel Tank will take the win by a TKO. Keep in mind Garcia is no slouch as a fighter. Garcia was dropped by Luke Campbell with a counter and Campbell is no huge power puncher. Garcia did rally to win that fight, but one can only hope Garcia has improved on defense since that time.

  • $85 for this event? WTH!! Not like it’s Spence vs Crawford for the Undisputed World Championship! Mark my words this will be a new trend…..

  • I will definitely buy this fight I have been waiting for months for this fight for to cry for $84 dollars

  • Davis has been busier in the ring and against the better opposition. Garcia and GBP haven’t exactly dipped in with a dangerous puncher, especially after the Campbell scare. Suspect chin, poor defense, not busy enough in the ring even after having the opportunity to take a tune up fight. I am leaning Davis on smart ring generalship and effectively landing the shot Garcia will not see coming. 5TKO Davis

  • “Showtime’s PPV price is $84.99, however, if you have DAZN you can get the PPV for $60.”
    – And $0 if you have an Amazon Fire Stick……..

  • You guys are giving Ryan Garcia way to much credit for being this amazing boxer. If this were Oscar vs Tank at 130, I could see how he could outbox Tank to a UD. Ryan isn’t that guy. He’s never shown this against top competition nor has been in a big event. He will make a mistake and have to pay.

    • Tank’s counter punching will be the deadly nemesis that Garcia will face when Garcia opens up to punch. I doubt Garcia can take those counters all night long. Garcia’s defense has been lacking in the last few fights using his head and that’s the sweet spot for Tank’s counters.

  • I just can’t see any other scenario other than Garcia crumbling when he eats Tanks power

    • This is one of those fights, comes along once in a long while. You have Davis. A very capable, talented young man that has been impressive against higher competition. Then you have Garcia. Now if I were to pick a winner ? Tank. It almost seems like a no Brainer. Ya look at their body of work. The aspects in their game they need to work on….etc….for me anyway, the big edge leans heavily to Mr Davis.
      But these are the nights that can shock the boxing world. These are the nights that guy you thought was good, but maybe just not good enough to hang with the elite. This is when all our “scientific” boxing analysis leave the one most important aspect out of the equation. The heart and will of Garcia. Not saying it’s going to happen, but these are the nights I covet as a boxing fan. When the final bell rings, and the only thought in your head is “I DID NOT KNOW THAT KID HAD IT IN HIM” This is Ryan Garcias litmus test. The night you watch a young fighter step past the limitations and prove you and the rest of the fraternity are wrong.
      It is also the fights that give a jaded 53 year old boxing fan butterflies.
      And every thought of this fight will bring those butterflies until the opening bell.

  • Oscar is looking for a rematch between him and Floy.
    That is all about go Bmore

  • too much money 85 dollars on showtime its a business nothing else two good fighters going at each other trash talking must fill those seats in order to make a profit keeping my money
