Comments Thread For: Tank Doesn't Think Win Over Hector Luis Garcia Will Prepare Him for Ryan Garcia

[Oregonian]

It's back to the drawing board, apparently, for Gervonta 'Tank' Davis. The hard-hitting, 135-pound southpaw from Baltimore was recently asked if his fight with fellow lefty Hector Luis Garcia last Saturday at Capitol One Arena in Washington D.C. served as ideal preparation for his forthcoming showdown with Ryan Garcia, and Davis largely demurred, citing a marked difference in styles.

Tank says he’s waiting on Ryan to sign off on the contract. Oscar says they have no contract. That’s two tales,

Crawford said there was a $50 million guarantee from a Hedge Fund. Spence says that wasn’t true. Spence says everything was agreed upon by both until Crawford claimed “no transparency”.

With those two context in mind, boxing fans on social media are hardcore arguing with each other about who is lying and who is telling the truth while cursing each other out constantly.

Ryan wasn't milking anything as he decided to forego his tune-up with Gesta. It was Tank and company who used the "agreed in principle" statement made well prior to the Hector Garcia fight to sell it. A fighter no casual had ever heard of who was also being dragged up in weight. Pretty clear who was "milking the buzz" as you put it.

Tank is right though,fighting Hector does nothing to prepare him for what Ryan will bring but then again,not many can.

They both announced the fight.

Correct but Garcia hasn't or will not fight until he steps in the ring with Tank so therefore didn't use the "buzz" to milk or sell anything.

I feel ya on the last part.... I'm just very pessimistic with fights being made at this point

We all hope we'll see this fight and I think eventually we will , the 'hit and run' could rightfully present a problem .I wish the 'catchweight' would disappear and they'd actually fight at a proper divisional weight . although this 'catchweight' is not nearly as bad as some of the freak shows of 2/3 divisions apart ie Eubank Jr/Little Benn.

Did he really do that? Tanks not the salesman type and I barely remember any promotion at all let alone him using Ryan Garcia’s name. The press obviously was going to ask him about Ryan so what’s he supposed to say? I never heard of him. But I don’t think that helped sell his fight.
