Comments Thread For: Calvin Ford: They Never Talk About Tank's Defense; It Was Unreal Against Ryan Garcia

[Boxfan83]

Respect to Calvin but it was obvious from Ryans fights against Campbell and Fortuna that hes heavy on his front foot and doesnt know how to fight for positioning. Not saying Tank is an easy win but if you have height and reach and know how to push off your front foot and shoot that right hand, he can be beaten. Guys like Shakur and Devin are very light on their lead foot and battle for positioning. I favor Shakur against Tank and think its 60/40 favoring Tank against Devin.

Another fight that was all hype and delivered zero substance. This probably pushed the casuals away for another year or two similar to Floyd-Pac fight. Spence and Crawford are the one that will suffer the consequences. Hardcore fans watches it but casuals seeing the outcome of Davis-Garcia probably will save their money

One of the main reasons for Tank's success is his defense. He rarely gets hit flush. Smart and successful fighters avoid getting hit. One of the main reasons Mayweather was successful towards the end of his career.

The bigger issue (and I blame NSB for this) :

Tank told the dude to his face, with Joe Goosen sitting right there: "all you got is a hook. No fundamentals, no head movement, no defense!"

And nobody listened. Goosen certainly didn't, because they apparently didn't work on it. Unless they tried and Ryan refused to change.

And if you put him in with a lessor opponent he looks good bashing him and Goosen is praised, that's how he got this far by looking good, Davis was just too much in every area and Ryan didn't know how to deal with beating that was heating up.

Lots of times its nobody's fault a guy lost, the opponent was so much better so they look like trash and everybody is trying to blame someone, me too, I blame Tank he was far to good for Ryan.

But the thing is, NSB constantly criticizes Wilder for relying on one punch, yet Ryan is praised? Why?
