Tank talked about Ryan as one in every of three prospects for his subsequent battle, together with Vasily Lomachenko and Shakur Stevenson. It’s believed that Tank will determine between Ryan and IBF light-weight champion Lomachenko.
Ringside Problem
Garcia climbed up on the ring apron moments after WBA ‘common’ light-weight champion Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) knocked out Frank Martin within the eighth spherical on the MGM Grand Backyard Enviornment in Las Vegas.
Whereas some followers would see Ryan’s conduct as begging, he’s arguably a much bigger star than Tank Davis as a result of his 12 million Instagram followers and his capacity to encourage them to buy his occasions on PPV.
Having a loyal following like Ryan makes him the ‘Face of Boxing’ when it comes to marketability, the man that Tank can take advantage of cash preventing. In distinction, Tank Davis has 7 million followers on Instagram.
The way in which that Tank was irritated and dismissive when Shakur’s identify was introduced up on the post-fight press convention, it’s clear that he gained’t be subsequent.
If Tank goes to battle Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs), he must do it quickly as a result of the Ukrainian fighter is 36. If he waits too lengthy, he gained’t be credited for beating him.
Lomachenko has been urgent for a battle in opposition to Tank for six years since 2018, and it’s virtually pointless for it to occur now.
Tank’s Confidence and Disdain for Rematch
“Ryan? He’s loopy. He was speaking a couple of rematch. He stated I used to be the most effective at 135 and 140, too,” Tank Davis stated to the media final Saturday night time about Ryan Garcia. “He says he needs to battle me once more? I’ll kick his a** once more.”
It could be a mistake for Tank Davis to not battle Ryan Garcia subsequent as a result of the favored social media star’s conduct since his win over Devin Haney means that he’s starting to crumble from the burden of his newfound fame and will lose his subsequent battle if he’s not placing within the time within the health club.
With all of the touring Ryan has been doing since his win over Haney, it doesn’t seem he’s spending a lot time within the health club.
