Man I will beat Tank's ass.

If that were even partially true, you would be someone that is known in boxing. If you're some dude that is a gym rat and thinks he'a fit and strong, or u do MMA, or u boxed a few tournaments and u think u can beat Tank up, ur crazy. I'm sure if u went to Tank's gym, and asked to spar, you'll get ur chance to prove u can beat Tank. But u would get ko'd way b4 Tank, by a novice from his gym

Two fat heavyweights with the audacity to talk about what someone could or couldn't do after taking a body shot.. after being weight drained.. stfu

What Andy Ruiz is speaking is absolutely nothing but the truth and he is also a Mexican American. Ryan Garcia did quit! He gave up the will to win. It's ok to lose but it's not cool to lose to fear. He was afraid of going out on his shield. He feared Davis was going to hurt him.

You could see the slow most the impact it had .

Garcias reaction however is probably what’s getting him a lot of negative reactions, I guess he didn’t really show urgency afterwards or a more of an attempt to continue based on he looked alright when he stood back up ? IDK i didn’t see the entire fight so I don’t know what damage he took in it if Any ? But body shots could **** the body down in certain fighters ,I guess only Garcia knows .

Well my friend, you and I have the virtue of at least having experienced that kind of lovely contact lol... Its funny, Knock outs are what they are, but the physical pain only comes after with what caused the chrome bubbles. Body shots, even with that slight delay, can just make one think their lungs went on vacation.

Here is what I think: If you look at the shot Tank caught him with the base of the palm. While a lot of boxers see this as a reason why this shot was less potent, that palm base is a direct connect to the arm:shoulder: body chain of power. A sword arm strike has a similar dynamic with the ridgehand, or arm. If Tank caught Garcia, just so, and Garcia had no real body weight to take the shot, it went directly to the liver with no glove to buffer the shot. It looks to me that this is what happened.

Getting up right at the ten count then walking to his corner says he could have continued. Someone mentioned Maidana vs Khan. When he got dropped by a sick body shot and rolling around in the floor you know he didn’t wanna get up. But he still did

You ever felt one of those mr expert? Do you know how body weight affects transmission of force on one of those? Hint: Try hitting a fat guy in the liver. Garcia had no extra weight, fat and water tend to really help one absorb those shots.

It was amazing how Chino got up in the Khan fight and besides that he had Khan holding on for dear life by the end of that fight. What Chino lacked in skill he made up for with his heart and will. He grew up hard and the guy was hungry with a capital H.

Ask God for the victory? C'mon, Ruiz...
