Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Doubts Confidence Of Tank's Team; Ellerbe Blasts Ryan Garcia's Promoter

[Patsfan bri]

Whatever you might want to say about ODLH, I think he's right when he describes these stiuplations as petty and in saying that they speak to a certain lack of confidence. Forget the A-side, B-side BS -- you can use that to justify skewed commercial terms, but when it comes to having a late weigh in on top of a next day weigh in, all at a catchweight, with no belts at risk, it says you've thought about the downside, you've thought about the risks, and those things have concerned you enough to shift the playing field in your favour.

Fortunately, I still think it's an open fight; either could win.

All these stipulations that tank and his team wanted shows that he sees something in Garcia that worries him. His stipulations are crazy. From 136 catch weight , two hr later than usual weight in, 1 way rematch clause to next morning weigh in. To make matter worse Ellerbee pretty much admitted at the press conference yesterday that they were spying on Garcia during his camp. Tank will probably win ( I hope not though) but I think Garcia keeps his chin to high but if tank does win all these stipulations and admitting to spies is not a good look and will tarnish his win should he win.

Oscar spoke truth for once. Ellerbe is a POS and nothing more than a Floyd d**k holder. In a just world, Garcia knocks this little woman-beating coward out COLD.

Judgement day is coming 4/22. After Rhianna Garcia gets flatlined I'm going to be looking for a response from TEETOTALER

What response would you possibly expect? I've always picked stank to win but those demands are just absolutely pathetic from his side. The guy his just guaranteeing himself a win idiot lmfao

Ellerbe never did the fighting (or any fighting that I can see). Davis is not Mayweather. Ellerbe taking credit for Mayweather's wins is not talking about your current fighter.
Ellerbe's current fighter is Davis. Why didn't he talk about all the cherry picking he's done? That he's never fought anyone near the championship level. Ellerbe has quite a mouth.

"Weigh in 2 hours later than usual"


Are you fvkcing kidding me? davis is an absolute bltch

I know right. Stank and his team, the whole tmt crew actually, are a bunch of clowns.

All these demands are shameful, it's like a circus, it cheapens the fight and comes off as fake.

Why can't we go back to the old Mike Tyson and Duran days - no A side BS and just fight straight up.

Nostrils ellerbe is just both haymon and floyds lapdog always been always will be , at least de la fishnets was a real fighter , ellerbe made his way up in the sport by kissing ass and shoe shining, Tank better win fight cause they all going to look very weak with all this unnecessary rehydration mess.

Ellerbe talks real hard when James Prince crew isnt around lol

-Ryan had to agree to a 136-lb catchweight.
-Ryan had to agree to a rehydration clause.
-Ryan had to agree to having the weigh-in later in the day than usual.

Basically a bunch of little b*tch moves by Tank’s team to try to make sure Ryan is as drained as possible on fight night. Shameful.

Yeah I didn't like any of that. It's way too much. If Garcia pulls this off Tank is going to look really bad.

[joseph5620]

When did Canelo do that? Are you confusing this with the time Floyd made Canelo fight him at a catchweight?

He did have a 10 pound rehydration clause for Jacobs.
