    That ‘s ine option.
    The other is:
    If Garcia is abnornally strong mentally as this sport asks of you at the top shelv level he wont let these shenanagans affect him coupled with him being young and fit enough to do the weight and regydrate correctly and it could not affect him.
    Again,it s all down to him,the true elites rise threw this.
    Read on the weight restrictiina in title fights imposed on Joe Gans.
    Man went in there knowing the other guy had an advantage.And owned him.
    In boxing you can negate anything if you are mentally tough enough.

    You negotiate to get as many advantages as possible. Just say it for what it is. We all know Tank needs every possible advantage. It’s how many boxers careers are based. But don’t pretend the clause has no meaning because that’s just silly.

    It s no secret Tank is looking for an advantage.
    That doesnt mean it will be a deciding factor is all I am saying.

    Alot people over looking Garcia has a great amateur record with 10 national championships and over 200 amateur fights , that's no joke .. believe me Ryan can win both ways too.. via KO or over the long stretch 12rds .. this is a 50/50 fight ..

    The poll started out 50-50 and remained seesawing that way for quite a while, sometimes edging in either direction but leveling out again within a day or so. Now it's been Tank ahead for a bit, currently 60-42-3 (with 52 picking him by KO) for a total of 57.1% of votes .

    Our poll still has it considerably narrower than out in the "real world" among bettors, however - as the money pouring into sportsbooks now have Davis handicapped with a 71% chance of victory (which itself has trended down from an opening line giving 74% implied chance).

    "Gervonta’s brain cell was put to the ultimate test in this great interview!"

    It's be honest Tanks team have been forced into this kind of somewhat , the clue is in the rehydration clause Ryan said yes to all their demands he wanted this fight more, they know Garcia is a real threat .. for me it's a 50/50 fight , both have their strong points ..

    Nobody said that though. You said it would have little to no impact at all. I’m asking if it has no impact at all, what is the point of it? You said something about mental. So you agree it does have some type of impact. Anyone who isn’t biased will say it’s not a necessary move at all when Tank already fought a bigger guy at a higher weight. It’s a cheap move and shows who was ready and willing to put it all on the line, and it wasn’t Tank.

    If Tank didnt think it would be an advantage he wouldnt have required a CW w a rehydration clause.

    If Tank didnt think it mattered and would contribute to the outcome he wouldn't have required those things.

    Nonetheless we see why Tank never fought Loma, Teo, Devin, Shakur, Taylor, Prograis, etc.

    I view this fight as being similar to Teofimo vs Loma as far the advantages for each fighter. Davis is like Lomachenko, the more experienced and more accomplished fighter. Garcia is like Teofimo, the younger but bigger fighter with a KO punch. The styles in this fight are different but the concept is the same.

    Like Teofimo did to Loma, I think Garcia’s speed, power and length are gonna make Davis very cautious. Davis will eventually open up and start landing on Garcia, just like Loma did to Teofimo later in their fight. The question is what how will Garcia respond? Will Garcia collapse from Davis power or will he take it and land his own power shots in return?

    In practice, Davis is the favorite only because he’s the more proven fighter. But theory Garcia should win this fight. Garcia is bigger, faster, stronger (at least the left hook seems to be more powerful than anything Davis has) and has amateur background to prove it. But questions remain as to his chin and ability to follow the game plan (simply outbox Davis from outside).
