Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: 'I'm In A Real Fight' With Hector Luis Garcia, He Looks Hungry & Wants My Spot

[Bronx2245]

Its not like that because of the belt, they want star power and PPVs that come along with fighting him, and just maybe they could edge out a win, which would take them even farther in leverage for future fights and purses.

I know that's true, but to turn down the opportunity to fight Haney for the WBC, when it was right there? Pitbull Cruz and William Zepeda turned down an offer to fight Shakur in a WBC elimination bout, but I bet they would jump at a chance to fight Tank or Ryan Garcia! Neither fighter has a real title! It's just an odd situation!

Cruz had the chance to fight Ryan,subjective amnesia there?

So you think Tank puts on what 10-15lbs?? Give me a break lol.Tank has mever been known to be a gym rat between fights ,no different than Mikey or Broner who pack on the weight. I gaurantee you he hits 160 easily.

Seriously doubt that, he's an elite athlete whether people would like to give him credit for it or not. There's a reason that he's able to do a lot of things physically that others can't. Broner never had the athleticism of Tank, though he was a decent athlete with skill and an crazy belief in himself, then he became lazy.

I haven't noticed many predictions about this fight. Are people unsure? I think Tank will beat him to a pulp and force stoppage o win a lopsided UD.

I agree and I think Davis thinks so as well. He is selling the fight on the idea that Garcia will be a real challange.

[OldTerry]

Good ,not great. If he was great he wouldn’t have gotten outboxed by little 118 pounder Santa Cruz or by a weight drained Mario barrios. Take away Gervonta power and what do we got? Nothing. His power is what has saved him

You don't have to have the greater boxing skills to be the best fighter. Power counts for a lot and if it allows you to beat a better boxer, then you are the better fighter.

Because lying is so common, and so is saying "honestly" or "ima be honest" and then lying.

I noticed my kid saying that the other day. I reminded him that when you say "honestly" it ought to make me wonder what youre being all the rest of the time.

You ever watch that show First 48? Oh how many times suspects say "to be honest" and then lie through their teeth.

(Steps down from soapbox)

First 48 - One of my favorites

Davis still fighting lackluster opponents after beating Jose Pedraza for his belt how many years ago now? Pedraza is still his best opponent.

Garcia has a 140 lber frame not Tank. He's tall with broad shoulders and probably walks around at 145 or more.

Try more like 160.

Hector would probably beat the taste out of Pedraza, he made Colbert like weak and outclassed, and he put on a great performance against a game champion in Gutierrez, and took his strap.

My bad, I forgot about that! At least with Ryan, there's some "he said, she said'" between promoters! This time, just complete silence from Cruz's people!
