War Room should change his rank under his name to "IDKSAB"

Not really. How could I anticipate the debilitating and unprecedented stipulations that Ryan went through? The drain, rehydration, late weigh-ins on the day of and the day before. Additionally, how could I predict a fractured rib from sparring?
I had this an even fight up until the stoppage and Ryan landed some really good shots.
Lastly, Rolly was kicking arse and Rolly is like a C+ level fighter.
At the end of the day, I didn't wager on Ryan and said right before the fight the only way Ryan could win was by a stoppage because PBC would have the judges fixed, which they did.
If you cared to actually watch him fight he actually has a very good,powerful straight right that he caught and hurt Campbell and Fortuna with and he's a pretty good boxer lol. Because of his staure,speed,power and explosiveness its pretty easy for him to set traps that both Campbell and Fortuna fell for ending thier nights. Tank couldn't even walk down a small ass Cruz or that special needs kid Rollie...but hes going to walk down the biggest,fastest and biggest puncher at 135-140lb in Ryan?? Keep dreaming dude. He may time and catch Ryan in an exchange but he ain't walking down shiet dude.
You're looking like a bit of an idiot now with this post.

Come on man lol. You don't believe that, do you? There was a clear disparity in skill level in the fight. Tank was damn near having fun after the 4th round. Ryan can't even get the fundamentals together when dealing with a southpaw, let alone a really good southpaw.
His footwork is awful and he had a below average right hand. If he could at least just get his feet right, he would have done better but he gave away the angles all night and was never in position to counter in the event Tank actually missed, due to said poor footwork.
He landed some shots, but Tank was never in danger.
In fairness to War Room and the others picking ( & overrating) Garcia, Ryan fought a pretty ****** fight. Tank definitely showed he was a level above Ryan, but I think people were expecting Ryan to use his physical advantages and try to counter Tank coming in, not become the aggressor and get countered by the more skilled and experienced guy.
Having said that, respect to Tank. I thought he would win, but he showed the world there are levels to this game. A lot has been said about the catchweight and rehydration clause too, but Ryan looked very good physically. I think he will benefit from moving up to 140lbs, but he didn't look drained. At this point that is what Ryan looks like as a lightweight, which is the weight class Tank fights at.

Roy Jones Jr says Ryan Garcia made a crucial mistake by stalking the boxer/puncher Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis last Saturday night, and he paid for it by getting knocked out.

Of course I believe that, are you being serious right now? If you think that wasn't a tainted win, you're an unreasonable superfan. Ryan was boxing well, came out strong in the second and had Tank in trouble holding on for dear life like Huggies Haney. Ryan's inexperience and throwing the same combo 3x in a row got him dropped. A little more composure, the fight would have played out exactly how I said it would.
I think Tank is much more seasoned and experienced at the world level and that alone got him the win against a weight-compromised fighter coming in with a fractured rib. Tank is a great counter-puncher too, but let's keep it real =---> Tank get's hit a lot by lower level fighters and will continue to do so at the high levels which is why he's fighting lower-level opposition or fighters with big ***'s so much. Clear disparity of skill, arguable. I used to be a Tank fan, I've seen him fight a lot, I know what he's good at and what he's not.
I don't think Tank was having fun at all until it was almost over, can't remember but I think I had Tank up by 1 round going into the 7th. You had judges giving Tank the first round when it was clearly a Garcia round. Ryan was landing good right hands. He snapped Tanks head back with a right hand and they even showed it in slow motion inbetween rounds.
If a compromised Ryan accomplished what he did, Tank isn't going to beat the top guys like Loma, Haney, Shakur.
