Tank has one of the best understanding of distance and timing I’ve seen in the ring

[@abshirhassan830]

Yes! Somebody understands.

[@samuraijose817]

Second to Shakur

I just find it amazing how Tank can judge his and his opponents range without really throwing punches. It’s like he’s in the perfect spot all the time. His skills are elite and while Garcia is a good fighter he isn’t on the same level skill wise. Then the ring iq is just world class. He’s calm and collect at all times. He’s complete

[@GuiItyVerdict]

He was finding his range the whole fight by taking away garcias jab when he was pawing at him.

[@BERNARDO712]

​@@GuiItyVerdict Exactly this. That is also a Mayweather trick where Floyd just touches the lead hand, or parries down the jab to throw your rhythm off. Fighters like to get into and fight in a rhythm. Very few guys can fight effectively at different rhythms. Floyd and Crawford can.

Ryan’s trainer said he was un-coachable. So Ryan went in there and used his own plan. Ryan’s plan didn’t work. That is also why his trainer probably didn’t show up to the post fight presser.

Canelo's corner is trash. No game plan against boxers who don't stand still n take left hooks..his trainer always comes up short in big fights n has zero answers for basic things like the jab or distance. Watch all his guys lose their 0 when they face fighters from America lol black guys specifically who can move n have skill. Canelo isn't a great pr even good fighter. He's never been elite n ever time ge faces an elite fighter he lays a horrible egg. Both of the first 2 GGG fights he lost as well smh.

[@kennedy6971]

It didn't look to me like Ryan had a true plan. He looked to me like he wasn't fighting with a purpose. He was winging it round to round. Ryan has some fundamentals that need addressed. He should have known what not to do. He should have been thinking about circling and trhrowing that straight right hand

[@robh5748]

Winging with no footwork it was embarrassing to witness. Tank could have taken him out at any point

They figured that since Gervonta Davis has the same fighting style as Floyd Mayweather, that the only way to beat him is to bully him before he Mayweather had brittle hands, and he didn’t have the power of tank Davis, so you can’t just bully a fighter who has power, and the ability of Floyd Mayweather

[@flyingtmt9583]

Tank was never buzzed at all even in the second with those flurry of punches ,you see what he did knocked him down .

Thanks Teddy for the feedback.

[@hemmydall]

Garcia didn't mix up his offense enough. He got away with throwing that lead hook many times in the fight, but he did the same pattern 3 times in a row when Tank countered him. Thats what happened in the 7th round too. Garcia was starting to mix up his offense in the 6th and 7th, so Tank started closing from under Garcia. Garcia in the 7th, I think every time would create distance while throwing a right uppercut. He did it way too predictably and got countered for it. Davis' patience and awareness in the ring (its way easier to see this from a spectator's perspective) easily caught on to the pattern. It may not look like it was a hard punch, but in some of the replay angles you can see his body rotating into it; it was a hard punch.

[@Master_Bait]

Garcia has a HUGE issue with finding guys that move toward his left hand. Also Garcia should've had somebody in the camp to introduce him to a shovel or hookercut. With the smaller opponent who moves his head well, you MUST know that he's going to dip under. He needed another angle to throw his lead hook if it was ever going to land. &i agree with Teddy, you don't lead with a lead hook, wheres the jab? Only Captain Hook Roy Jones Jr is the ONLY fighter where it was used with continued success. MOSTLY because Roy's hook didn't come from the same angle.

Tank has developed himself to be so instinctive in any situation- even when he’s under pressure he’s there, thinking clearly about what he’s going to do. Watch the ten seconds before the 2nd round knockdown. Garcia is trying to exert pressure throwing punches coming forward- tank backs off and says to himself ‘come on, just keep doing that and I’m gonna NAIL YOU’ you can see him thinking it as he backs up then decks Garcia. Tank is virtually unbeatable right now.

Imagine if 🧸 Atlas was Ryan's trainer? I still can't Rank Tank in the top 10 P4P listing with those WBA Interim titles. Tank has the best resume at 135 definitely not the best fighter.

It wasn’t because tank had the best plan it was that Garcia came to him and attempted to knock tank out which was the biggest mistake as good of a talent tank is. No one is that good to knock out a champion which is known as a good fighter with a great knockout punch. He fell right into that trap and his trainers didn’t warn him of that mistake which was mainly ego on Ryan’s part.

[@jimmoriarity8496]

[@davidcadena8114]

When i saw Gossen in his corner, i said to myself"why"? As i saw the fight progress, Garcia was overcomitting on some of his punches, leaving himself wide open to Tank's counterpunches. While Davis's corner was pushing all the right buttons, Garcia got nothing from Gossen. Davis's experience in big moments and the added number of fights was apparent. Davis will defeat Haney, Lomachenco or Stephenson, if or when they fight. Neither Haney, Lomachenco or Stephenson have the one punch power of Tank Davis. Haney, Lomachenco and Stephenson KO% is approximately 50%. Davis's KO% is over 90%. Power will prevail. Imo

[@SunnyIlha]

Garcia throws wildly swinging, wide open, looping, "flashy" punching. This is going to get him knocked out cold again, sooner or later. Davis is an all around, competent, savvy, wily, movement Boxer. He is the essential package for the brutal contest of Boxing. He's short, compact, muscular, in utmost top condition, he punches quickly with little waste of movement or ergonomics. His punching is efficient and launched with lethal intent. He reads his opponent while in the middle of the punching exchanges. He has Championship level counterpunching. He started to chew Garcia up quite early in that Bout.

[@90oftheworldisdumb3]

Hey Teddy, about 2/3 of the video I realized that there’s one thing you didn’t realize but we have similar understandings and what you didn’t realize was he allowed Ryan Garcia to get confidence in the six round so he can leave himself open and knock him out in the next round and intelligent box. It will sometimes allow a person to get comfortable and think that they can come back in a fight so they can leave themselves open again just as in round one Ryan Garcia was being very aggressive and in round two and then when he got caught he took a step back. He didn’t want to get caught again so he was a little bit more defensive someone around six tank allowed him to get comfortable so he can start throwing while punches again, and not worry about his defense he got caught again, and that was the end of a fight.
