    But yea man... spin away about how bad ass it is to handicap your opponent.
    I don't even agree with this catchweight nonsense so I don't know how I'm tryna spin anything. Can't be more clear in my statements. Even under the assumption you have in regards to Davis' confidence, if Garcia wasn't confident in himself that he would be able to be at his best when fight night comes due to the terms placed on him, he shouldn't have signed and called Davis out on it. Nobody forced him into the fight. If anything, Garcia benefits from this. If he loses, this is gonna be the first excuse he's gonna throw out there and probably will get a pass from the cheerleaders and groupies. You can blame one guy for using his leverage to get what he wants, but anybody that has leverage in business is gonna use it to their benefit. That's a fact of life. Just giving my unbiased opinion and calling it like it is.

      Gayweather move by Tank. What the hell you expect? TBE for handicapping opponents.

        You miss the point again: Garcia SIGNED the contract. Davis has clauses in said contract.

        The point is still Davis' obvious attempt at handicapping Garcia. You can once again, continue to with the black/white interpretation "well he signed it so" but that does NOT change the SIMPLE fact that Davis is using contract ink for a physical advantage over Garcia.

        You can keep spinning with "but he signed the contract...." Indeed he did and that further illustrates how much more confident Garcia is going into this fight. You act like pointing those inconvenient facts out, somehow detracts from Garcia? "but he signed though" etc.


        Admit it...one of these fighter is trying to do something good for the sport and the other is playing Mayweather games. I choose to support the man that signed the contract regardless of clauses etc.




        Resume your selectively slow observations.

          Facts! It speaks volumes as to Tank's character. When he is not running pregnant women over or pimp slapping his baby momma, he is using contract paper to handicap a MAN named Ryan because he fears that karma-hook.

            The thing is your opinions are off of the perspective from being someone who's biased and choosing to "support" one side bc of how you feel about the situation. I'm basing my opinions from a neutral standpoint and from the business aspect of the sport. How any of us feel about it doesn't matter. Don't know why you're stating that these are "Mayweather games" like he was the first person in history to do catchweight fights. That's a silly notion, but I've been seeing where you come from with that so I'll leave it be. Just like I "missed your point", you're missing mine. Boxing is a business FIRST, and a sport SECOND. Again, I don't agree nor like the catchweight nonsense, but in business, you get what you can negotiate and Davis is doing just that like other star fighters in the past have done. Gotta give Garcia his credit for signing knowing the business aspect wasn't in his favor, but at the end of the day, that's on him. Nobody pressured him to make it happen. He wanted the fight that bad, and CHOSE to give Davis what he wants. Can't make any excuses after if he loses. Folks just wanna blame everybody else but themselves for their own choices. Taking accountability seems to be something foreign to most people nowadays.
