Ryan Garcia was in the midst of a training camp and preparing for a January tuneup fight against Mercito Gesta, but on Friday, Garcia announced that he'd no longer be fighting Gesta and instead will heading straight to the Gervonta Davis bout, which is tentatively scheduled for April.

Ryan will continue to talk April fight with Tank while knowing it’s not happening. Why? IMO, Hector Luis G. will challenge/ do damage to Tank on 1/7 on top of Tank’s legal issues in Feb. Tank & his team not disciplined enough to be April ready for Ryan-

Or, Tank sparks one Garcia which frightens the other one.

Translation: "I don't wanna give Tank a sneak preview of all the holes in my defense, and risk looking like sh.t and/or even getting hurt by Mercito, and messing up the biggest payday of my life!"

Seems like whatever Garcia does people will rag on him ?

First it was " he's a social media celebrety ".
Then it was " he hasn't fought anybody ".
After that it was " he won't fight Tank ".
Now that the fight's pretty much set there are still some saying " it won't happen. He'll pull out. "

When the fight happens and he wins ( which I think he has a Good chance of ) they'll find something else to hate about the kid.

Garcia will continue to talk because his fanbase stands with everything he says. With both taking an interim fight there is no guarantee that the fight will happen. Already Garcia has had an episode of not fighting because of mental issue and that might show up again.

He has himself to blame. Ducked Tank with phony talk about a Manny fight that wasn't happening, pulled out of multiple fights, etc.

Pretty graceful of Garcia. But you gotta give Giovanni Davis credit, he's fighting a guy with the same last name as Ryan to trick casuals into buying another shlt ppv lol

lets see if Davis stays out of jail

I understand the reasons both pro and con for taking the tune-up. It just takes one good headbutt to put you out of the ring for over 6 months , or a broken hand , injured shoulder , or elbow. At the same time there's a lot of value in staying sharp.
