    Could things be different? Or would it be the same result, a Tank stoppage?

    It’s a moot point. No way will Garcia agree to another dehydration clause and no way will little ***** Tank fight him without one.

    I picked Garcia over Davis. I was wrong.

    I picked Haney over Garcia. I was wrong.

    At 145, I'll take Garcia over Davis. Logic dictates you should now bet on Davis.

    Boxing fans have dementia I don't even like Tank but he must be the favorite even though Garcia has the momentum. Garcia has bad defense, Tank will be cautious waiting for those same mistakes to be made.

    Reasonable fans gave Garcia a good chance at the upset agaist Haney. But a rematch will never happen, Ryan will lose to Teofimo. I also think Frank Martin will upset the odds this summer and beat Tank

    Ryan gives too many openings, he would get caught again. Might be closer and longer fight but tanks has monstruos power.

    Can tank KO a fast explosive guy that weighs 160+ on fight night? He took 11 rounds to get 150 lb barrios out of there

    No need for this rematch. There are more good fights to make.

    I'd still go with Davis. I'm sure Garcia feels much better at 143+ and I think he'd do a bit better, but Tank's a higher-level/more skilled operator and has the tools and timing to land explosive counterpunches when Ryan telegraphs the left hook on the front-foot.

    This 1000% percent
    However as time goes by & if they both keep winning the demand & money for it might persuade them to do it one last time.

    If they were to fight with in the next year I still give a slight edge to Tank.

    Garcia needs to develop his right hand into more of a weapon / dual threat. He still has some tricks to learn.

    Rematch will never happen. Ryan can’t even make 140, Tank won’t go above 140 because he can make millions fighting anyone his own size at any weight he chooses.

    But if it did, Tank would still win. Ryan made the same mistakes against Haney that he did against Tank - like tripling up on the left hook. The difference is that Haney is dumb enough to fall for the same trick thrice, whereas Tank slipped it and knocked Ryan down.

    Tank’s skills and IQ are superior to Ryan/Haney, he still wins.

    Looks like Tank isn’t the only one who insists on dehydration clauses. Weight bully Haney did the same against Prograis. What a total coward.

    Nothing that happened on 4/20/24 changes what happened on 4/22/23, Tank outclassed Ryan. He was better on the front foot and the back foot, he was better on the counter and he showed speed and power that Ryan ultimately folded from. Tank is simply a bit above Ryan.

    A higher weight is not going to change that.

    No point for rematch. But for full 147, if Tank's explosive power and speed won't be the same to 147, then that's when Haney and Ryan beat him.
