    I think Davis will beat Garcia but Garcia wasn't really hurt by Campbell, he was knocked down by the timing of Campbell's shot whilst exchanging leaving his chin exposes. The real question is how Davis will deal with the speed of Garcia with a 2.5 inch reach disadvantage.

    Rolly is a club fighter and clearly lost to Jackson Martinez. That fight is widely considered a scandalous robbery

    Listen to the commentator's reaction when the decision is announced

    Those PBC judges are corrupt as hell. They won't just rob you in broad daylight they'll score fights for by a landslide that you clearly lost

    Campbell hits really hard

    He's stopped 16 of his 20 wins

    These are the four he didn't stop

    Yvan Mendy has never been stopped in 54 fights
    Algenis Mendez has only been stopped once in 35 fights
    Craig Woodruff has been stopped once in 16 fights
    Chuck Jones has been stopped once in 20 fights

    And the later two were four and six rounders at the start of Campbell's career and Campbell was bigger, stronger, heavier and hitting harder after teaming up with Shane McGuigan because that's something the later specifically started working on when Campbell enlisted his services

    'I sparred Luke maybe six times''

    ''Luke Campbell ain't no scrub''

    ''He has power in that left hand''

    ''Smart. Very strategic, and he's very technical''

    -- Te0fimo Lopez

    Garcia ain't that good but the power and speed are very real and Twink was terrified of baby kangaroo reach oompa loomp Cruz's power and club fighter Rolly's too. Say what you will about Garcia but he proved his intestinal fortitude by running towards the fire after Campbell dropped him with a peach of a shot, whereas, conversely, Twink ran like a thief in the night and his face was a mask of fear from the power of an oompa loomp and a crude club fighter.

    If Garcia wore high heels he could have a little tinkle on Twink's head no problem

    Don’t be shocked on fight night when it is proven that Gervonta “Tank” is the faster, more athletic and better boxer of the 2 with superior defence and ring raft. Almost everybody Tank fight has a significant reach and height advantage. Garcia has a lot of weaknesses which will be brutally exposed. If Campbell shook him to his boots flooring imagine the effect of Tank’s punches on Garcia

    I couldn't care less about Garcia or Davis, nor do I about making myself sound staunch online. Why is that you Tank groupies invest so much energy in making themselves sound tough online? You post like an emotional teenager who insists on pushing a hood narrative.

    "Cruz is better than anyone that Garcia has faced" - Cruz, that hadn't fought outside of Mexico until almost 2020? So what exactly has Cruz done that puts his name above Fonseca, Fortuna or Campbell? I don't rate Tagoe, but without bias, there's an argument that he's as good as Cruz.

    "Knocks another mother ****ing Garcia out" - Best you hope this Garcia doesn't rack up easy rounds like Hector did. Hector had next to no power but still kept Tank at bay for 9 rounds, while accruing a healthy lead.

    Both Tank and Garcia are flawed, both have every chance to lose against each other. To preach it's a foregone conclusion does nothing to hide your bias. But hey, that's what your post history is constructed around, huh?

    It’s always funny to see people bring up the Luke knockdown as if he was Paulie Malignaggi.

    Can you link to where he was shook in his boots? I remember Garcia getting up, retooling and coming back to stop Campbell. I’d love to see this “shook in his boots” though.

    What a daft post of yours. If you checked the judges cards you would see that Tank was ahead before the stoppage. However in typical ESB fashion you guys like to make up alternative what we otherwise call lies. You clearly care about Garcia so stop lying and own your truth. I am not pushing a hood narrative just facts because Tank is from the hood. Tank is a rare breed and you shall see soon the difference and separation he will show between him and Garcia.

    He was put down heavy by a non-puncher that’s all I need to point out! As Tank said to Mike Tyson on his podcast that if it was him who hit Garcia you know he would have killed him!

    Of course, because the A-side fighter doesn't get biased scorecards? I'll play into your obvious bias (which your post history supports). I suppose Canelo was deserving of the even cards against Mayweather then? Because one corrupt judge said so...it must be correct. Right?

    Let's not forget that Davis was up for multiple rounds that he lost against Cruz too (Tank was out-landed, on the back and took more damage in these rounds, so there is literally no way he won them).

    Check my post history you mong. I have a strong dislike for Garcia. I think he's a PED-using cheat, but hey, let's revert to the same old argument and assume I'm 'a hater'. Because that's what you and the other nut swingers revert to.

    Here we go again. Floyd was the A side against Canelo for starters. The 2 other judges gave it to Floyd by a wide margin. Canelo himself unlike you did not quibble with the official judges because he knew he lost. You are not important to me so I don’t and will not check your post history. I don’t like Garcia either but that is not my reason for picking against him. I am picking against him because Tank is better than him in every facet of the game.

    That went straight over your head.

    "You are not important to me so I don't and will not check your post history" - I mean, it's unsurprising that you refuse to work of factual information. You've not done it previously, so why start now. But hey, call me a '***** ass ****ing hater', uphold that image of yourself.

    I checked your post history because it validates what I thought about you as a poster before engaging with you.

    "I don't like Gacia either but that is not my reason for picking against him" - Yes, I'm very well aware of why you support Davis over Garcia, and it's not because of his talent or lack thereof. As I said, I checked your post history. Your history nods in affirmation as to why you support your specific demographic of fighters.

    Fighters who have 16 kos in 24 fights isn’t considered a non puncher. Paulie Malignaggi is a non puncher. J’Leon Love is a non puncher. 66% ko rate isn’t a non puncher. You would never say Adrien Broner is a non puncher and he’s at 60%. So cut the nonsense and show me where Garcia was shook in his boots.

    Eh, ppv means nothing to me. And it’s not as if Garcia hasn’t headlined either. He’s been in the spotlight just as long.
