    Don't like the hydration clause
    But I'm looking forward to this fight

    Getting knocked down by an Olympian, getting up and going on to win the fight told you all that?

    i like tanks mindset. hes taking ryans game seriously. a surprising show of character considering hes surrounded by sycophants.
    ryan seems more preoccupied with the promotional side, for clouts sake, than the graft its gonna take to be ready for anything in the ring.

    Rehydration clause for a guy who rehydrates to the same weight Tank has rehydrated to is a ***** move. How many smaller guys has Tank fought over the years with no rehydration clause. This tells me he is afraid. War Garcia!

    He’s going to beat up Tank worse than Davis beats his baby-mommas.

    Problem with Garcia is he keeps his head still after he throws. Doesn't dip to the side. Tank has pretty good timing. If Garcia doesn't land something big and early, I think Tank gets the timing down and land a big overhand left.

    if i was training ryan, i would have him do 3 minute drills with his right hand glued to his chin. just practice your jab, left hook, left upper, but keep that right on your chin. make it second nature. it will probably save him the fight. it takes away most of tanks game plan. if you attack ryans left side, he meets you with a lightning left hook that can reach you inside or out. and you cant even roll out because hes fast enough to follow you. you got to attack his right side or get him to dip so you can upper.

    Yeah even if some expect Ryan to be content & disciplined enough to keep Tank at distance while boxing carefully eventually at some point in the fight you know Tank is going to turn it up & try to pressure & over extend Garcia in hopes to landing some big shots while gunning for a finish,

    So when that does happen because you know it's just a matter of when, will Ryan be able to withstand those moments of incoming threats & not get over zealous in the process & get caught??

    That we will have to wait & see too find out.

    Yeah Goosen would have to be doing that & a lot more by now since the fight is getting much closer you would like to think,

    Ryan may be fast but Tank seems to be quicker & we've seen more from him compared to Garcia, i would choose being able to process & be quicker than just being faster, what do you think?

    Garcia has to go to the stress of already making a weight that is hard to make and thrn be careful how much he rehydrates during the night.
    It might or might not affect him but it s a stress

    Yeah, I think Tank showed his Plan A against Rolly.

    The component he didn't show as much was the body attack he is going to use to get Garcia to lower his hands.

    I really only see this going one way, I usually see a lot of possibilities for big fights but this one I feel like I already saw it. It will be the ending of Tank vs Romero grafted onto the beginning of Garcia vs Campbell.

    Yeah, when he fought Campbell I thought that was growth. He needed to stay active and work on adding wrinkles and facing challenges. If he had he'd be ready now and his size and speed advantages would make him a formidable opponent.

    He didn't though.

    So the clause does have impact.

    It depends on Garcia’s mental strength.
    Usually younger foghters such as him arent as affected by weight loss as you are by 27-28.Physically.
    Mentally I dont know-that is up to how tough is Garcia mentally.It s his test.
    Tank is just hedging his bets.

    So again, it does have impact and it was put in for a reason. To say otherwise just doesn’t make sense because if it didn’t impact a fighter in any way, they wouldn’t have included it.
