    Shiiiiddd! Luis Garcia was tune up, a topnotch caliber fighter that most wouldn't have taken as a tune up. Davis had only fought once last year, so he used that to shake the rust off before the fight with Ryan. I like Russell, but he's not polished enough in his technique to beat Tank, he's still a bit wild and reckless. I could see him getting KOD early against Tank trying to prove his power, and walk right into a trap.
    Yet Hector and Rolly had their moments, and they're not anywhere as good as Russell!

      You call moments landing a few shots? In a boxing match, that's going to happen, unless someone is completely trash. Neither of them hurt Tank or took control of the fight, and Russell wouldn't either at this point. Tank is just a better boxer with a much higher ring IQ right now. I like all of the Russell brothers, and rooted for Mr. Gary Russell for years, but Antuanne isn't ready for that Tank type of work. He would stand a better chance against Puello, Teo, or Haney, but if he makes some of those over aggressive, wild mistakes against Tank, its naptime.

        Gervonta Davis remains undefeated with sixth-round TKO of Rolando Romero

        NEW YORK -- Gervonta Davis wasn't letting his hands go, and Rolando Romero took advantage. He stalked "Tank" Davis and even forced him to hold on at times after he connected with a couple of power shots.

        But as he always does, Davis found a way with his devastating left hand, a counter shot that sent Romero crashing face-first on the rope. "Rolly" beat the count on unsteady legs, and the referee stopped the bout, giving Davis yet another brutal TKO victory on Saturday in a career filled with them.

        The end came with 21 seconds remaining in Round 6 before 18,970 at a sold-out Barclays Center, allowing Davis to retain his WBA "regular" lightweight title and perhaps move on to a high-stakes showdown with Ryan Garcia, who was ringside. "He was strong for sure, but it was a couple shots that I was getting warmed up and he caught me and I was like, 'I can't sit with him just yet,'" said Davis, who was ahead on two scorecards 49-46 and 48-47, while Romero was ahead on the other 48-47.

        Gervonta Davis landed a devastating counter shot that sent Rolando Romero crashing face-first on the rope in the sixth round Saturday night, to retain his WBA "regular" lightweight title.


        Gervonta Davis scores TKO as Hector Luis Garcia quits before 9th

        ​Gervonta "Tank" Davis rocked Hector Luis Garcia with a left hand in the closing moments of Round 8, prompting the underdog to retire on his stool ahead of the ninth round Saturday in Washington, D.C...

        Davis, who is typically a slow starter, didn't land many clean punches during the first three rounds as Garcia (16-1, 10 KOs) dictated the pace with his southpaw jab. Davis finally found his rhythm in Round 4.

        Gervonta Davis rocked Hector Luis Garcia with a hard left hand at the end of Round 8 and earned a TKO victory when Garcia couldn't come out for the ninth.


        Like I said, "moments." Russell is way better than Rolly and much bigger & stronger than Hector Luis Garcia! Tank knows what he's doing. He don't want smoke with Gary Antuanne Russell, especially at 140! Check Tank's resume. Do you notice the lack of African American opponents? Hopefully that will change soon! I'd like to see him fight Haney, Shakur, Frank Martin, and Gary Antuanne Russell! Let the Brothers eat too!

          Lol, Tank has been going back and forth with Haney and Shakur for almost a year now, and he told them that they are next. Russell can get some too if he keeps talking and winning, I just don't see it ending well for him. Tank has sparred Devin and Shakur, so its its not like he would run from a fight with them, actually just the opposite, to disprove some of the trash talk.

            Haney can't stay at 135, no matter what his Father says. I would hope Tank would fight him @ 140, but I won't hold my breath! I could see Tank vs. Shakur @ 135.

              Top money making guys. As far as skill, that's yet to be seen at least even at a B level.

              People talk about Ryan's chin in the air, what I see is Ryan's lead foot always on the inside of a southpaw. He did it with Campbell and Fortuna and Tanks very good at a pull counter. Even the left hook KOs on Fortuna and Campbell were both a bit weird, I highly doubt Tank let's Ryan's mistakes go un noticed.
