Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis 'Just Making Sure Everything's Fair' With Rehydration Clause For Garcia Fight

[Kzbox]

Get the *** outta here, it should be a same day weighin!

Oh shut up man you will be singing a totally different tune when your fighter gets one put on him boxing fans are clowns and the ****riding for tank is actually insane he's a 28 year old prospect not Mike Tyson in his prime i just don't get the hype with this kid at all and he's an actual scumbag.

Yeah but Canelo just fought arguably the best boxer in the world, Bivol at a weight Canelo , as great as he is had no business fighting in. Alvarez had every right to force that fight at #168 and 10 # rehydration clause. But that’s why he is the greatest of this era.

I don't think Canelo is going to qualify as the poster child for fairness. Kovalev, Jacobs, even Rocky Fielding got weight claused. This Tank/Garcia fight is BS but Canelo has had his share.

Tank going to look very weak if he doesn't beat ryan with that clause. Potential stock plunge if he doesn't deliver what he promised...But If ryan wins boy oh boy ,lot people here will be mad as hell. LOL.

Rehydration clauses should be banned by the state athletic boards on safety grounds.
If the fighter makes the greed upon contract weight, at the agreed contracted weight n time, he's "made weight".
No second weigh ins as it's just another way of deliberately trying to weaken a fighter.

Here's the thing, don't sign a contract and THEN complain that you don't agree to the terms. I seem to remember a time when the weigh-in was on the day of the fight. So weighing in the day before and being limited to a 10lb rehydration clause on fight day isn't quite that bad. Anyone who says it's fair for Ryan to come to the fight weighing between a WW & JMW, just wants to see Tank lose to someone who is much bigger than him.

go back to same day weigh ins.

force boxers to fight at natural weights instead of trying to take over the 24 rehydration rule.

Not defending anything that doesn't need to be. Usyk moved up to heavyweight where there is no limit, that's a terrible analogy. Usyk knew that he would have to face bigger men when he made the decision to move up. Ryan was trying to make this man come up to him, AND be able to come in over 150 something. I didn't state anything about A side, I said that Tank fights at 135 and Ryan knows this. Tank wasn't asking for Garcia, but Ryan's been yelling for the fight every chance he gets. Tank fought at 140 once in his whole career and said that he's comfortable at 135. Roy Jones fought at Heavyweight once, but he wasn't going back to please a heavyweight without a belt that's calling him out. That's ridiculous, Ryan has the natural advantages, he wouldn't trade his height and reach for picking the gloves and ring size. Man up, shut up, and fight. Or fight a big name at 140, but he won't, because he won't have those advantages.

The Davis haters try to chastise him for fighting Garcia at a catch weight with a rehydration clause. But they say nothing about the fact that Ryan called out Tank from the highest mountain, while not even whispering the names of the other top guys in the division like Lomachenko, Haney and Stevenson. Also after his last fight, Garcia swore he wouldn't fight below 140 again, yet here we are.

Tank fought Mario Barrios at the full 140-lb limit for fvck’s sake. We haven’t forgotten.

Ryan is already going to be weakened from having to cut pounds in order to make the 136-lb catch weight. Adding a rehydration clause on top of that is just Gervonta seeking to gain every possible advantage physically come fight night.

I agree fully with you. But are you sure you're not making excuses here like you say to me when i have genuine points to discuss?

For the record, Americans and Mexicans are having these kind of fights and nothing but. They won't fight unless they can stack the table. Tank has been waiting to pull something like this against Ryan for years. He just needed to wait until he moved up, then accept the fight with him with all the conditions.

[Sid-Knee]

I'm not a fan of the rehydration clauses. If a fighter wants to kill b themselves to fight at a weight they shouldn't be at, then that's on them. But tank is flexing his a-side power, just as Canelo has been doing for years now.

That makes both of them cheating cowards. Whoever does these kind of things, they're cowards. This fight wouldn't have happened unless Davis could sabotage Ryan. Davis has a career of loading the table just as Canelo has. It's pathetic.

tank only listened when it was someone he thought he could beat. those other guys wanted him and he ran away like a coward. and yeah davis knows garcia will be drained just like floyd knew canelo would be drained. tank is hoping a healthy garcia goes on to be great like floyd vs canelo but that doesnt change the fact that canelo/garcia werent that good at the time of the fights especially considering hte drainage
