Does Davis end up looking like Tagoe in the fight against Garcia?

    We have all seen how Romero had Davis on his backfoot running for 5 rounds before the Lucky counter from Davis.
    Watching how Tagoe also ran backwards sliding on the ropes against Garcia and unwilling to exchange like Davis against Romero tells me there is a big chance we will see the same thing.
    If this is the case, a split decision for Garcia is likely since I would at least expect a flash Knock down from Davis and favoritism from the judges.
    If Davis builds up the courage to exchange with Garcia and it becomes a slugfest Garcia gets the KO!

    Thoughts?

    50/50 fight for me.

    My guess is that it will end by KO and I'm leaning towards Tank, who IMO is mentally tougher.

    If it goes the distance(which more than likely will not) it will go to Garcia.

    Naw PBC corrupt as **** and they got everything in on Tank. Tank will have the cards rightly or wrongly.

    RyGa will surprise peeps w his readiness but experience means a lot

    The most interesting thing about this fight is which guy can take the other guy's best punch. We all know Tank has great power. The problem is that Tank knows it too. His style is not about winning rounds. He has complete faith that he will eventually hit you, hurt you and stop you. Tank could certainly do that to King Ry. The thing is that Garcia hits considerably harder than the high majority of Davis' previous opponents. If Davis is willing to take shots from Garcia assuming he will eventually catch Ryan than he may be down for the 10 count before he has a chance to do that. That's the way I'm leaning.

    Garcia by knockout.

    Nah I think that Tank will catch Garcia at some point similar to how Campbell did but with Tanks power Garcia will stay hit.

    I think Garcia is more likely to catch Davis first. Davis backed up too much in his last couple fights and he waits too long to throw.

    Garcia doesn’t mind fighting on the front foot because he’s got a long jab and straight punches. He can fight from long distance and can throw power shots from the outside.

    When you’re fighting a long range power puncher, you better get inside consistently or he’ll pick you apart and knock you out before you get a chance to land the perfect punch.

    Nope. It all comes down to who can take the better punch, and if I had to bet I bet Tank will win by explosive stoppage.

    Maybe but maybe not. If im not mistaken Campbell has 20 wins with 16 Ko's which is more than decent.
    If Garcia can make Campbells best shot look like a flash knockdown and get right up and shake it off, well then Tanks best shot if it lands clean will at most get a 8 count assuming Tank hits harder than Campbell.

    Garcia already demonstrated he can take a clean punch (Campbell) and shake it off then come back with a finish. As far as we know with that same shot Tank would have stayed down for the count.

    Campbell is a solid puncher but IMO Tank is a devastating power puncher

    Let's also not forget that Campbell is a tall rangy fighter. He caught Garcia with the end of his punch, just barely catching him.

    Davis is shorter and with a much shorter reach. He's going have a harder time landing on Garcia if Garcia chooses to keep the fight on the outside.
