Here's everything you need to know ahead of 'Tank' Davis vs. “I hope that’s not the whole reason he’s taking the fight because he feels he’s stronger than Davis because Davis is pretty strong in a different way.The eagerly anticipated clash between Gervonta 'Tank' Davis and Ryan Garcia finally has a date, and now the build-up can begin for what will be one of the biggest fights of 2023.īoth men have electric personalities inside and possess explosive knockout power, so this upcoming contest is a must-watch for boxing fans across the world. I don’t know what it is, but he’s gotten so big, and he looks strong,” Atlas said about Ryan. I don’t know if he’s on a weight program. I know he’s still filling out, he’s a younger guy, and he’s got a bigger skeleton he’s got a bigger frame than Davis, so it makes sense. “I don’t know if it hurts Garcia because he’s gotten so big in the last two years. It’s a catchweight at 136, not 136, the title weight,” Atlas said. It’s very important for both,” said Teddy. He needs his jab so that he doesn’t get dominated by the jab of the longer, taller guy. You better think the same thing with Davis. “I think with Davis, people think about the big left hand, the power. I’m sure those things have been done because it only takes one mistake. “Again, those are all sweet science things that have to be gone over in the gym and be taught. NEWS: Terence Crawford wants Gervonta Davis at 147: "That's a big money fight" Give a little feint to make the trap show itself so you don’t walk into it. Hopefully, he’s worked on that where you give a feint to see if there’s a trap there before you go there. “That’s where feints will come in for Garcia. “He set a trap, got Rolly to come in, and bang. He did that with that guy Rolly,” Atlas said. For Davis, he’s either got to be close or get the other guy to come close to him,” Teddy said. That’ll help control the distance and keep Davis busy. He’s really got a lot of responsibility in this fight against Davis. He can hurt him, but it might be the right hand against the southpaw. “Ryan is an explosive puncher, too, with that left hook. Everyone is talking about Tank being such an explosive puncher and can hurt Garcia. “Everybody is looking for Garcia’s left hook because he has a great left hook, a great counter left hook. NEWS: Shakur Stevenson says Gervonta Davis fight breaks PPV records That’s something you got to in the gym by being taught that. Tank’s a smart guy, and he’s got a good boxing IQ in that ring, where if you’re just going in & out, he’ll pick up on that. “I think he’s going to want to do what I would have worked on by giving little subtle angles instead of in and out. He’s going to want to use his jab, but he’s going to want to use it at the right range where he doesn’t open up to where he’s open to any counter opportunities, to control the outside space of the ring. “So Garcia better be on his p’s and q’s and fight a consistent fight, disciplined fight. He also should be careful that he doesn’t throw his jab from too close where he can get timed because Tank knows how to counterpunch, and he’s a southpaw, and he gives problems from that side. “Yeah, we know he can catch you inside, but he can also catch you going out, so he better be careful. Tank could very well catch Ryan when he’s backing out or coming in if he’s careless on Saturday night like we witnessed in his fight with Luke Campbell. “Part of the danger point is that Garcia better not step out from too close because Tank can catch you coming, and he can catch you going,” said Teddy Atlas to The Fight, discussing the Tank Davis vs. With the weight stipulations that Gervonta’s management has smartly put into the contract, it could effectively turn Ryan’s size advantage into a disadvantage if he’s weakened by the 136-lb catchweight and 10-lb rehydration clause. When they’re on the outside fighting smart, Tank is unable to do much, and he quickly falls behind. Gervonta has got massive power, but he needs his taller opponents to get in range for him to land. If the 5’10” Ryan is careful, he can use his height & reach to his advantage by keeping the 5’5″ Tank (28-0, 26 KOs) bottled up on the outside, unable to get in close enough to land his power punches. Atlas notes that Ryan (23-0, 19 KOs) is huge at this point in his career, and that could be a problem for him making weight and then dealing with the rehydration clause.
