Garcia was stupid to agree to the rehydration clause. At the top level giving your opponent advantages to use against you never ends well.
Still Tank There was a clear difference in levels between them that was more pronounced than I had initially thought. Ryan isn't defensively responsible enough, he would always get KO'd by a low-volume but super-accurate puncher like Tank.
I don't think the rehydration clause made too much difference in this case. Like I keep saying, he came in at 148 for his previous fight. That being said, he did look skinnier than usual to me and thin around the face and neck which surprised me after he'd had that time to rehydrate. Twink looked even thicker and fuller in the face to me than normal. But what the rehydration clause and all the clauses Twink slapped on him did prove was Twink was trying to weaken him and wanted him not to be at full strength which is a female dog move.
Yeah i was saying the same thing about Tank as he looked in great condition a lot bigger/muscled but lean at the same time, When everyone on the Golden Boy side kept saying Tank was having a bad weight cut/looking pale/ all ended up being false in then end, funny.
Twink said he weighed 144-146 for Barrios, Ryan was 148 for Fortuna. But, as said, Twink looked noticeably thicker and also fuller and rounder in the face last night. Wouldn't be surprised if he was 150
Tank will always win…. Garcia is a hype job and mentally weak. He seemed more interested in getting Tanks number then anything at the post fight.
It doesnt matter. Its weak from Tank to even try and include a rehydration clause. No real champion would do that, he lost all legitimacy from that win. Even though he'd most likely beat a 100% Garvia anyway
Indeed it's pathetic to have a clause to handicap a fighter of Garcia's level. Imagine if it was Loma, Haney or Shakur he was fighting what type of BS they would come up with. Then again he will never fight any of those guys.
