Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia Pumped For Tank: You'll See Something Special Happen

[HisExcellency]

All those fighters you listed aren't even in the same ballpark as Ryan as far as speed,skill and even more so power. You're sorely mistaken if you think Tank is just going to "walk through" Ryans shots,especially his check lefthook and walk Ryan down. Tank himself has already stated "he ain't trying to get hit by Ryan" in the first All Access Episode. Problem is....he always routinely gotten hit by everyone of his opponents. Youre going to see seeds of doubt in Tank by round 4 when he realizes Ryan is a lot faster,sharper and more powerful than he thought. A doubt that he may never overcome leading to him getting soundly dismantled in there.

Campbell isn't a nobody either as that guy would beat every single fighter on Tanks resume.

All of those fighters I listed are also world champions, some in multiple weight classes e.g. LSC whereas Ryan is NOT (just like Luke Campbell so there's no chance he'd beat any of those fighters either). Anyway, I'm not saying that Tank is going to go in charging like a bull and nullify Ryan's punches with his head. However, I'm saying that during the exchanges, I would expect him to be able to take Ryan's shots whereas Ryan will hit the deck.

Anyway, I agree with your play by play analysis (if you were to switch the roles of Tank & Ryan) which is why I expect Ryan to be KO'd from round 4 onwards. I look forward to telling you 'I told you so' once the fight is over.

I'm an objective guy and give Ryan a fair chance to beat the likes of Kambosos, Haney + Teofimo. However, Tank is on a completely different level and will probably only come unstuck against the likes of Shakur IMO.

I'm pretty objective as well but I'm certain Luke beats little Leo with ease,multiple weight champ or not.

We can agree to disagree on what we see from each fighter,no biggie. Ive never watched any of Tanks fights and thought "damn,this guy is completely on another level" compared to likes of Haney,Teo or any other elite fighter at or around lightweight for that matter. I see a fighter who's not that difficult to outbox or hit. I see a fighter that has been spoonfed tailor made fighters to make him appear better than what he is. Hes no doubt an elite level,explosive fighter but he's no Shakur and has flaws that I can see Ryan exploiting with his attributes and skill set,experience or not.

I"ll be here Sunday morning homeboy,dont worry about that but with that post count in 8yrs I'm certain you"ll go MIA.....

we have all the belts, we have ring, lineal, super, interim, franchise & now the face of boxing

Who has Ryan fought that has the speed and power of Tank? I agree that Tank is a slow starter but his track record speaks for itself. He's been in with multiple world champs and walked through their best shots before taking them out eventually e.g. Hector, Pedraza, Barrios, Santa Cruz etc. Therefore, I think he has the pedigree to easily deal with Ryan who hasn't fought the same level of opposition and already got dropped hard by a nobody like Campbell.

oh this is definitely a test for Garcia too ,it’s a test for both men. Santa Cruz was giving tanks fits until the ko but Santa Cruz is hardly a big puncher, neither is pedraza. His ko ratio is 50 percent. Barrios has descent power but not as much and not as fast as Garcia. It’s a 50/50 fight and let’s hope we all see a good one for as long as it last. Either way the fight ends in tko/ko.

This is a good fight because it sells itself. Two dif fighters two dif people inside the ring come Saturday Night. Street vs Sweet - The question of who will win is not even close, the question of will it be a good fight, if it is a good fight and a close fight which it will not be but if it were Then it could do something for boxing. Everybody hopes something happens great in the ring with these two but it is rare in boxing for great things to happen inside the ring. I hope my prediction on who wins how the the fight develops is all wrong i hope this is one of the best fights of the year, i want to see blood, knock downs power and reaction, skill not even seen yet by each fighter in past fights and most of all Heart to get up off the mat over and over again and return fire each time. That is only a hope, a dream not what reality will take place in the ring. Prove me wrong and i will be glad prove me right and i said so.

I think you see Garcia being exposed, which is a possibility. If the fight is close or better yet if Garcia wins, he'll make a believer out of me, however I don't think that is going to happen.

Lol...I respect your opinion but as you've already said, we can agree to disagree. Personally, I believe Tank IS a top level elite fighter who only somebody as special as Shakur is capable of beating. Also, if you look at his resume, he IS an undefeated, 3 weight world champ who's knocked out 98% of the other champions/contenders he's shared the ring with. Therefore, if I was a betting man, I'd bet the whole house and kid's trust funds on a Tank KO this weekend.

Anyway, I'll be here after the fight and we can see who was right. Don't get me wrong, Ryan is a likeable guy and I'd love to see him win because it would shake up the division (similar to Teo beating Loma, Kambosos beating Teo and then Haney beating Kambosos). However, like I said before, I just DON'T think he'll get the job done.

who has tank fought that has the speed and power of Garcia? Tank has started slow in his last couple of fights and not sure he can afford to do that against Garcia. I’m not doubting your prediction and tank probably does win just think he is fighting someone he has never seen before and the same is true for Garcia.

Tank is going to fight his fight. If Cryan rushes in it will be an early goodnight for him. Tank is always sharp from get go.

Is tank sharp from the get go ? I seem to remember him starting slow again Santa Cruz, Romero and hector Garcia. I expect Ryan to come out not wild but throw some meaningful punches early on. How will tank respond to those punches ? If he is not phased he will fire back abruptly but what if he is hurt ? It’s not out of the question Garcia can put his lights out in my opinion.

[Boxviewer]

I like Garcia's overall attitude. If you took away his looks, he's got old school mentality. Can't knock him for that. He's gone out of his way to make this fight happen. Whether that's a good thing or not, we'll know in a few days. Though by taking the stipulations, I'd say, even if he loses, he'll gain a heck of a lot more respect.

Tank called his bluff 2 years or so ago at 135 and he ran. I guess he feels some confidence now because he has blown up to a full-pledged welterweight fighter and he thinks that that advantage will help him bully Tank, hence he is lamenting about 146 lbs max weight which is still 10 lbs above the agreed weight of 136 lbs. So, it's ridiculous that haters call Tank a cheat while Cryan is the real cheater here. Anyway, he's going to get slept come Saturday night.

[Offensive Wizardry]

Handicapped fight due to biatch stipulations.

what are the stipulations?

did somebody get floyd'd sabotaged?
