    He took a gamble, and he came up short.

    The smaller man may have won, but Ryan is definitely not a coward.

    He put his heart in the line of fire, took the challenge and went down with his boots on his feet.

    He doesn’t have to work another day in his life unless he wants it.

    He has my respect.
    He could have gotten up he never tried he didn't wanna go anymore

      Well maybe next time he'll wait for the smaller man to move up rather than foolishly going down in weight

        also when you look at davis' strategy of leaning on and holding garcia, they knew that would wear him down over the course of the fight.

          Garcia can barely walk but davis need 7 rounds to knock out a severely drained opponent.

            he looked fine to me, tank is just that good at finding the target and garcia's defense aint no fort knox either!.....pretty good fight, king rye can only get better from this loss!

              Rehydration is normal. In fact we have an entire belt (ibf) that bans u from gaining 10+ the next morning (spence has done 2nd morning weigh ins littreally almost his entire career) but still gets called a weight bully by everyone on nsb. Canelo, mayweather, bud, boots ennis, u name them they have done a 2nd day weigh in. Its been apart of boxing for a long time. Ryan just made it as a excuse for gullible unknowlegable fans like yourself who don't know any better. I guess Spence should also start complaining about the ibf mistreating him lol

                I'm not even a Ryan fan but this wasn't an IBF fight so the clause shouldn't have been there. Don't matter Tank woulda won anyways.

                  The same idiots that said Tank cant box, so much BS come from idiot fans, they are the real curse of boxing the useless hecklers that don't know sht.

                    He hadn’t made 135 because he was a lazy piece of sht like Eddie Reynoso said. He wasn’t drained he was overmatched.

                      if tank is such a good boxer why did he have even fights with mario barrios and isaac cruz? guys he didnt drain btw oh what a shocker! and garcia isnt some amazing boxer like haney, loma, stevenson etc...he was an explosive but flawed fighter and they took away his explosiveness with the draining so all that was left was the flawed fighter we saw.
