    I’m sure not, I honestly can’t see anything other than another highlight ko for Davis. Skill difference is huge and Tank’s two fisted power on Ryan’s shaky, wide open chin can only end one way. Is there any real argument for Ryan other than a punchers chance?

    Ryan has more skill, I believe he`ll be ahead on points before Tank catches him and sparks him, it will be a close, exciting fight.

    Same speed level but Garcia has a height advantage which will be a factor, both fighters will be facing the quickest opponent of their respective careers.

    I've rarely seen someone maximize their skills with Goosen. Ryan plodded against Javier and looked crude against Tagoe.

    It might be safe to say that Ryan doesn’t perform well against short black guys.:deal:

    Im joking, but in all seriousness, leaving Reynoso was a big mistake.

    Maybe but it's a pattern with Goosen fighters. I'd rather see Ryan with Sugar Hill.

    The points for a Ryan victory are not the best but they are:

    Size advantage
    Tank ankle inury/wheelchairfun
    Tank upcoming prison stint
    The fact that Tank has stated that retirement is just around the corner.

    This being said it feels like a 57.5% chance of a Tank victory to me.

    Punchers chance. He wil win some rounds because we all know Tank is a slow starter but once he starts finding his timing and Ryan gets a little overconfident from the success hes having, Tank will catch him standing straight up and leaning back with a big time ovh left, right on the button.

    Yeah it doesn't look good for Ryan, plus with his inactivity & with the fact that Tank is just so seasoned in comparison, the advantage lies with him in this regard.

    Plus Tank walks in a straight line meaning he eats a lot of shots.

    I think its a toss up. Ryan clearly has a solid chance of stopping Davis and vice versa. Should be a good one.

    You got to give him a shot realistically. He got skills, power, reach and size. His only question mark for me is his heart and his chin. If he fights tall, things could get interesting.

    Exactly what I was thinking.... Definitely not the favorite but has a good tool set.... So going in with a chance...
