Via Allan Fox: For the January 7 tuning match on Showtime’s pay-per-view channel, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis opted for a riskier matchup than the one scheduled for April 15 against Ryan Garcia by facing Hector Luis Garcia at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC
This move could blow up in the face of PBC and Al Haymon using Hector Garcia as a regulator because they are putting the Gervonta-Ryan war at risk. After all, there is a real possibility of an upset.
We saw Hector upset Chris Colbert, and he beat him in a one-on-one fight earlier this year. It’s not even close. Hector teaches Colbert.
Ryan should tune in for Tank, and Hector Garcia is the bigger fight. Ryan is known to many for his praise on social media, NOT for what he has accomplished in boxing.
Hector is a real person, a guy who has accomplished much in the sport and has Olympic pedigree. He’s not one to pose on Instagram, upload photos.
Hector Garcia doesn’t possess the same strength or speed as Ryan, but he is worlds ahead of him and more than capable of defeating Tank Davis.
2016 Olympic Athlete Hector is a good sized male boxer and can fight at close range or at the outside and make adjustments. What Hector has done with Chris Colbert is impressive.
Hector will take Tank’s powers and potentially embarrass him like he did to Colbert and Rober Gutierrez.
We saw how Gervonta narrowly lost to Isaac Cruz and struggled against Rolly Romero. The skill difference between Hector Garcia and Tank Davis is huge. That won’t change, no matter how much effort Tank puts in preparing for this fight.
Both of those fights showed just how limited a boxer Tank Davis was. Hector is a much better boxer than those two and he has by far a superior boxing IQ than Tank Davis.
Chances are Tank (27-0.25 KOs) will lose to Hector Garcia and have trouble facing him in the rematch later instead of going forward to face Kingry in a lucrative PPV match.
Unlike Ryan, Hector can fight and is very talented with skills better than him or Tank Davis. Hector is not as fast or as strong, but he is a fighter with better technique than Tank and very tough.
For boxing fans who follow the sport closely, they will know that Hector Garcia has a talent for beating Tank Davis and making him look bad.
Tank management is rolling the dice by picking Hector Garcia, and you have to wonder if this is Gervonta’s decision to face this guy rather than a level opponent that really won’t cause. any threat.
Gervonta may have made the mistake of choosing to face Hector Luis Garcia in a match when this guy is a dangerous and better boxer, more accomplished than Ryan Garcia.
It is assumed that Tank will enter a busy level match on January 7 in DC to improve a bit before facing Ryan Garcia for the big money on April 15.
This is a tougher fight for Tank than Ryan because Hector is skilled, and he’s been up against the best in the Dominican Republic. He’s not a social media boxer like Ryan.
Given the risk Hector Garcia presents to Tank Davis, it’s better to enter this fight AFTER facing Ryan than ahead of time.
If Tank Davis was smart, he would have pulled out of the fight with Hector Garcia and used his injury to avoid this guy. If Tank confronts him, he will be exposed.
