Tank Being A Savage

Yesterday, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis participated in an open workout for his upcoming bout against ‘King’ Ryan Garcia. Tank displayed great footwork, angles and punch selection. Qualities that tend to differentiate him from Ryan Garcia. Unlike Tank, Garcia, in his released training video clips, has shown a focus on power punches, countering and aggression. By deciding to focus on such elements of the sweet science, Ryan Garcia appears to be maximizing his best attributes in order to find success on fight night. The great fighters of the past have also focused on maximizing their best attributes. For example, Muhammad Ali kept his chin up at times as a defensive advantage and Roy Jones Jr. threw hooks when others would have thrown jabs. Such decisions by these great fighters would typically be viewed as incorrect or not technical but in reality these decisions are ideal for the successful application of the sweet science.

Another topic regarding this anticipated fight is the conversation regarding the “face of boxing”. Tank declared yesterday that he believes he is and/or will be the face of boxing after winning his upcoming bout. In ShowBizz’ opinion, he agrees that whoever were to win this fight will be the face of boxing.
