Ryan thinks that it could be because his weight is lighter for this fight, and his shots are snapping more effortlessly. That’s bad news for Tank is Ryan (23-0, 19 KOs) is above and beyond what he already had before because it’s going to increase the chances that he scores a knockout.
Tank vs. Ryan will be headlining on April 22nd at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fight will be shown on Showtime PPV for $84.99.
“Just being so on point that I make little to no mistakes that I beat him at everything he tries to do. Just having an answer for everything,” said Ryan Garcia to the media when asked how he envisions his fight with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.
“It’s just the truth. I just get really sharp, and my punches come more effortlessly. I don’t have to try and hit hard. They just come out,” said Ryan when told that his father Henry Garcia said that he’s hitting harder.
“That comes out more efficient and better. Maybe because I’m carrying less weight. I don’t have to try as hard to snap the punches. I had a vision of where I’d be at, and I worked every day to get there and make it a reality. Yeah, trust in myself and trust in my understanding, keep working hard and getting to where I am now.
“They can afford it, a lot of people can afford it,” said Ryan when told that the ringside seats for his fight with Tank are expensive. “It depends on how the fans want to respond to two great fighters meeting at the right time.
“That’s really what it comes down to,” said Ryan when asked if he believes his fight will break the PPV record. “If you want more hype, then you’re not going to buy it. It’s really going to show where boxing is at for sure. Yeah, it’s going to be big.
“I make sure I’m on point. Trainers can say all they want. You’ll know inside if you really are hitting harder, and I really feel that way. I feel like I’m getting stronger and more aware of the overall game. Everything is coming along perfectly.
“I was writing everybody. I even wrote Justin Bieber’s manager and told him, ‘I’m going to become a star. You don’t do boxing, and you don’t do sports, but if you want to sign this one. I promise you.’ Years later, we linked up, and he wanted to remind me to be my manager. So it was kind of crazy. We just didn’t come to an agreement, but it was kind of cool,” said Ryan.
