This guy needs he’s own show! Well said.
There’s only one 😂
intelligent, well spoken, extremely knowledgeable
That golden television voice
Big Excuses. *Davis' quick reflexes trumps Ryan's speed hooks.*
Ryan Garcia wasn't thinking clearly when he signed that claus he only saw dollar signs and a chance at winning.
"If you can beat the man, you can beat the man." Sums it up perfectly. Tarver never disappoints when he breaks down the fight game. Drops gems every time.
To slow people like you
Man I come to the comments thinking I'm the only one notice how well Tarver articulates. Shout out Tarver
It's called getting out the game clean.
I hate he got fired from showtime commentary for failing a drug test as a showtime fighter
Emanuel Steward said on-air during a fight that he love hearing Tarver speak.
Well at least he a well spoken fool😂
Why to go Mr. Traver; One of the best post fight analysis that hit social media. Why do we not hear more from this man.
Best reaction to the fight I've seen this guy knows his stuff
Big Excuses. *Davis' quick reflexes trumps Ryan's speed hooks.*
😂 Dude was not even paying attention to the fight... All he threw was body parts smh
Naaaahhh really???
Ryan was outclassed. I hate to admit it but it’s true.
He's a young legend
The rehydration clause has nothing to do with Ryan's lack of boxing fundamentals.
Thank you!!!! He literally looked exactly how he looks every fight as far as style. He’s not a combo puncher, he doesn’t feint much, he doesn’t drop down to swing from peoples blind sides, and he damn sure don’t guard himself properly. Oscar said “Ryan fights tall” Tank used that and ducked the whole night. Ducked right under punches. His opponents he was put up against his whole career were trash and made his one two punch look like it was good. Now we see that boxers need real experience against top 10 boxers to know where you really stand. Ryan went 12 rounds with Tagoe lol at 140. He did not look amazing and super good. It’s not weight, it’s literally skill that’s failing him!! Now he has to face the best. There’s no more trash to push around.
Exactly
I mean come on both made rehydration which tank was 144.1 and Ryan garcia was 144.9 on fight night so it really don’t matter. At end best man won and respect for both for making the fight. Give tank his props and tank said he was campaigning at 135 lbs after barrios fight🤷🏽♂️salute to ryan 🫡 felt bad for him getting hurt like that took his best weapon out
@@jayinhd4296 I just dont know why Tank wasnt confident enough to fight him at full hydration
He def. would perform better if not for the rehydration clause. But he decided to go for it, he got it. But that is one my problems with boxing
Big respect to Antonio Tarver. Knowledgeable and just a mountain of boxing knowledge. Always love his take on the game. Tank obviously had been working on left hook defence the whole camp and Tank knew the with the height of Ryan he would winging those shots above his head. Pitbull Cruz being the shorter or similar sized fighter was more difficult to connect on because of his high guard and movement. Ryan body was open and supposedly already banged up even before the fight. That said Tank Davis is steps above Ryan in boxing fundamentals. Respect to both for putting the 0 on the line though.
Ryan and his team had the chance to decline the fight but a true champion can take wins or losses. Great fight and congrats to Tank.
Once you sign on the dotted line there shouldn't be anymore discussions on the clause. Accept whatever comes after that. You have a choice to accept or decline once they put that rehydration clause in during negotiations
Sorry Tank fanboys. Just like Ryan had to deal with the consequences of accepting the fight tank will have to deal with the people calling him out for putting clauses. Tank will continue to get called out and he deserves it.
@@duckyh9712 Ryan needs to fight in his division if he doesn’t want to meet other division requirements. He should’ve fought someone his size. If you want to fight someone smaller than you, get down to their size. Tank is fighting in his division. You don’t get to call the shots when you challenge someone else.
@@duckyh9712 tank will continue to be undefeated while ryan makes excuses for catching an L
@@southernhummingbird your boy tank has fought at 140 and continues to call out 140 pounders but is scared to death of ryan Garcia? Tank lies to fanboys like you and you still believe it lol. I don’t care who much of an A side you are. Putting. All those clauses on a prospect that was never a champion is new levels of pathetic lol. Even had a mole in his camp. Straight goody lol. He was having a heart attack to this guy??!
Rehydration limits exist so that we never get a fight like Arturo Gatti vs Joey Gamache again. Gatti damn near killed that dude and it’s bc he rehydrated like crazy. But really the bottom line is that Ryan needs to fight guys in his own weight class and stop calling out lightweights. Teofimo left 135 and has been fighting guys in his new division. Ryan needs to do the same, stop draining yourself to fight lightweights and fight at 140.
tank was doing the same thing a while back, kept missing 130
I guess he wanted to fight him at a heavier weight, but they didn't want to and Ryan just went with it.
Calling out lightweights has now got him millions and millions at 24 years old
You’re capping - the reality is Tank could have fought at 140-138 but chose 136 AND a rehydration clause - dishonorable cowardly behavior , a disgrace to boxing. Good thing he will be in prison soon
Don’t count pitt bull out he probably would have stopped him to.
Antonio is an EXCELLENT commentator.
Yeah he was on Showtime a while I think they dropped him because he tested positive for peds after a fight when he was 40+ years old
Yeah, its a disgrace that tank & his team needed numerous advantages just in order for garcia to get the fight. Luckily Garcia was man enough to not let that cause the fight to fall through. And of course i have no basis for this, but i would imagine it was tanks representation that demanded these clauses and not tank. But i imagine Tank has the power of the final say.
@@jaseallenson316 sound like a hater or an idiot. Or both. Tank is a 135 fighter and is the A side. Ryan asked for the catchweight. If the fight was at 135, there wouldn’t have been a rehydration clause. Meanwhile Ryan and his dad have been saying he’s at the top of 135 and comparing him to other 135 fighters. So stfu and fight at 135 then.
@@jaseallenson316 wrong, it was Ryan that wanted the catch weight, if he had a problem with it he could fight dudes in his division since he moved to 140
Antonio is a cheater fraud.
It's only a few guys speaking out and Tarver is one of them who has the balls to. Much respect.
When Ryan took that body shot and saw Tank face and him coming for the kill, he just saved himself more punishment. No excuses. They say Ryan is fast but Tank saw all those books coming.
Exactly and tank told him all you have is that left hook lol
No lol, that liver shot dropped him, his body said nope no more standing
Nah he got up at ten he quit bro…..nothing wrong with that but he saw darkness coming lol
I tought Garcia was gonna be better, imo he has the talent to be one of the greatest but he clearly needs to work on his flaws and gain more epxierence against top opposition.
@@bekeneel he's terrible
Hold on, I was rooting for Ryan but I saw an interview were Ryan's father said the rehydration didn't bother him and Ryan said it didn't bother him like a day or two before the fight. Now the narrative is this rehydration thing again? Why didn't the rehydration affect Davis since he had to go through the same thing?
Because that weight fits Davis more than Ryan, Ryan walks around 150 plus that was the reason for the second weigh in to keep him Depleated hence in interview Davis saying you see how BIG Ryan is 🤷🏾♂️
Bc that’s what team Ryan is suppose to say bro smh 😂..if Ryan’s team start saying Ryan is drained and not looking good before the fight than Tank would have the know that and have that advantage.
Aman thank you
@@Weesie1998 OK so why the hell is he trying to fight at 1:35 then to be able to take a vantage of a small guy and no he walks around at about 160 pounds Stop the whining Ryan was so much bigger than the tank last night and y’all still crying
It's money bro. Win or lose they just got a bag and we're sitting here commenting on millionaires. Just enjoy the entertainment
Tank kept shooting the left to the body before that
Right dude wasn’t paying attention or some
What fight was Tarver watching... All Tank did was throw body shots
Exactly.
So it's the one off the counter that he didn't see. No one is saying he wasn't going to the body. He caught him in the body
I wonder if that's because Tank had a mole in Ryan's camp and knew Ryan was already hurt to the body... Not making excuses but a possibility...🤷♂️
I’ve always appreciated the way Taver conducted himself as a fighter. He shatters the mold of a belligerent boxer he’s well spoken and really brings great knowledge about the sport when speaks
Tarver has always been well spoken. He also knocked out a weight drained Roy Jones Jr. cold coming down from heavyweight. So he knows first hand the advantages of fighting someone cutting so much weight in a short period of time. Young Canelo cut so much weight chasing a fight with Floyd and was slow, flat and power zapped. These guys need to fight in their true weight classes and wont have to worry about re-hydration clauses. Spending half of camp trying to make weight instead of working on fundamentals like placement and patience.
@DarkMan Flex Floyd is alot smaller and Canelo wasn't trained still had an advantage in size but not skills obviously
@@darkmanflex84Canelo cut 2 pounds that he himself agreed he could make. He was fighting at 154 at the time and actually petitioned to make 152 to fight Floyd. Floyd came up 8 pounds to face him. The same Floyd who was a natural 140 pounder. You made up Canelo having to cut “a lot of weight”.
@@tmac1499 we all know canelo was walking around heavier then 170. He made weight, point still is chasing a fighter in a weight class you have no business still trying to fight in and having excuses ready for your fans before the fight took place.
That liver shot was devastating!! Nothing to do with rehydration. Kudos to Tank.
Really good take. He hit a valid point at saying he should have fought a guy like pit Bull somebody to prepare him that kind of fight. I hope Ryan can bounce back, but last night showed he wasn’t ready for that type of pressure!
Exactly , pitbull would of been the best person to use to prepare for pitbull
Big Excuses. *Davis' quick reflexes trumps Ryan's speed hooks.*
To be honest, pit bull actually would’ve embarrassed him. Ryan would’ve had to have a longer recovery afterwards as well.
Pitbull would have done the same thing too ryan
that's exactly what Oscar advised Ryan to do, Oscar told Ryan he should do a prep fight before taking on this fight
The issue is Tank fights at 135 not 160. There are weight limits for a reason. He is right...a 135 pounder would get hurt fighting a 160 pounder. No rehydration clauses allow bigger fighters to fight at lower weights. They should have to weigh in before stepping in the ring on fight night...actually fight AT the weight class
I agree, have the fighters step on a scale in the dressing room before the ref signs the gloves
Very well put, Tarver! Truth 💯
I love this interview! Much love to the Garcia family! 🇺🇲🌎🇲🇽💥🥊😎
Antonia was spot on, in absolutely EVERYTHING! 👌
Glad to see Tarver with his faculties. He needs to be doing more commentating!!!
agree
Yes for a loser like Ryan
He’s an excellent commentator!
yea dude is 54 looks and sounds like hes 40
Great interview
We need more Tarver interviews always gives a accurate analysis
Facts
@@thejtrax I don't like what the Mayweather camp did to Ryan Garcia by draining him. Ryan Garcia also has himself to blame too because his defense is not good.
@@SuperheroJunior Ryan has nothing to be ashamed of. He called for this fight. The fight happened. He came up short. That's the nature of boxing. Respect to both combatants.
@@SuperheroJunior Ryan moved to 140, but only wants to fight guys still at 135, thats a bitch move
@@thejtrax Getting a rehydration clauses and stipulations is not fair to other fighters. Gervonta (Tank) Davis didn't need to do that since he has skills. It makes no sense.
They both had the same clause..... Calvin said it they never want to give Tank credit. So I guess the rehydration had Ryan turning his back too right?
Ryan didn't have enough meat to protect his liver hence the knockout 😅
@@CaesFinest they both weight in 144
It had effect, otherwise no reason to include the clause. If Ryan was naturally even 2 lbs heavier, it makes a difference to keep it off at their low weights.
They both weighed the same but Ryan is taller hence it affect him badly.. y'all dumb asf lol
Tank knew what he was doing he won the fight but I don’t like them stipulations that’s why I respect the old school more.
Great commentary, very knowledgeable.
Great analysis!
Sometimes we have to lose, so we can win. Good luck Ryan Garcia.
It's the way of life💯 Floyd and Roy "lost" in the Olympics. MJ was cut in H.S. Kobe sat the bench. That's just in sports. It's all about the bounce-back.
not in Boxing, Ryan is done
@@cannabros you can see it in his eyes he don’t really want it. If Ryan put in the extra work to condition his body he would have lasted longer and probably won. Kid is done
@@cannabros exactly....they always have excuses for these average fighters.
@@spartanalphamode2987 we could've did 3x the Extra work and still would've lost. It's not in him!!!!
People fail to realize Ryan didn't want to make the original 135 because he wanted to be bigger in weight. So of course Tank said cool but you cant blow up more than 10pounds. That man could have came in weighing 154-160 on fight night. He should have never asked to change from 135-139 and fight for no belts and there never would have been a rehydration clause. Make the 135 like you're supposed to and do your thing...
Exactly but Tank is a brother and Hispanics and whites justify hypocritical shit when its against us. They are f ing haters.
Ryan Garcia never gains more than 10lbs anyways so the rehydration clause was actually meaningless.
Are u a fighter no so you can't just say that
Tank fought Barrios at 140lbs why wasnt it a problem then?
@@rubenbustamante1828 it was thats why he gave up the belt and hasn't fought there since. Also that was 2 yrs and 4 fights ago
Once I heard there was a rehydration clause, I knew it was over for Ryan. He should have known better, and like Haney said " I will never do a rehydration clause" hopefully Ryan has learned from this, and other boxers.
Had nothing to do with the big difference in boxing iq
MAAAN Where they been keeping Tarver?! So much knowledge and perspective from one of the greats He needs to take Bradleys job on the mic yesterday. Loved this interview.
Ryan could've been healthy 100% no rehydration clause and at 140 and he would still lost he got out classed
Maybe on points, but that little push-punch to his liver wouldn't have hurt him. Weakest punch of the fight but it's the one that puts him out? Shows you how bad of a shape his body was in from the weight drain.
@@truthoverlies6434 Bro Ryan took a overhand to the jaw clean, if he was so depleted and dehydrated, that would have KO'd him stiff.
Oscar GAY'A Hoya, a gay prep student who threw a rookie boxer like Ryan Garcia in front of a master like gervonto, is currently writing a hotel reservation in Hawaii.

@MEXI 🇲🇽 Calm down foooo, alright Holmes? Go watch blood in blood out vato😂🤣🤣🤣
Let’s talk about Oscar vs Floyd & all the bs Oscar put Floyd through. You never heard Floyd complain
Let's talk about how Castillo and maidana whooped Floyd's ass but were robbed🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He didn't drain Floyd he made him go up and fight in bigger gloves! The point is he didn't hurt Floyd's body by dehydrating him point blank period! If anything he only made Floyd train to get bigger, big freakn difference my guy!!!!!
@@Mendoza91Mr he also made Floyd fight at 154 inside of 147, made the ring smaller, took like 75% of the money & use heavy weight gloves. Nobody told Ryan to go to 140. He went to 140. If he would’ve took the fight at 135, there wouldn’t have been a rehydration clause. Ryan wanted a catch weight so it came with clause that he agreed to:
Tell me you're joking. Please God. Tank isnt frigging Oscar De La Hoya ffs. DLH made the ring smaller and MAYWEATHER CAME IN AT 150. Not 154. You cleary have no clue wtf you're talking about. DLH was 154. Not Floyd. And who gives a shit? . Cry me a dam river. Floyd is THE KING OF STIPULATIONS. How about what he did to Marquez and then came in overweight against him? Gtfoh They weren't heavyweight gloves. 😂. And DLH DESERVED the money and helped pave Floyds entire career that night, and Floyd would tell you the same. He'd neve change a dam thing That changed Floyds career. DLH was the cash cow. Tank isnt DLH and Mayweather wasn't drained either. They were both fine. Mayweather has been at 150 a bunch of times since
LoL that intro sounded just like the start of one of Ice-T's tracks off O.G. Original Gangster!
Ryan lost the body shot challenge. Respect to both fighters. 💪
i guess im missing something when ur a IBF champ at any weight in boxing isn't there always a Rehydration clause?
😂😂😂mfs just wanna complain bout something everybody been doin
One day before. Not tem hours before
@@ChuyArreguinBenavides-km7vi exactly that’s what was shady , Garcia was cutting weight for two days straight
Great video, very well said. Well spoken.
This man ain’t aged a bit!
Nah he's aged a ton
I agree. He looks great
This guy is spot on with the analysis...get him on espn 👏
BOTH of them had Rehydration Clauses
THANK YOU!
Nah they didn't but you free base babies are born to make EXUSES 😂
Yes but that only benefits tank.
Ryan wanted the fight 🤷🏽♀️
Quit talking nonsense..it only helped one fighter..and WHO... asked for the clause?? Thats what I thought..that being said..tank is a better fighter. But your comment is ridiculous.
the aim of the rehydration clause is to ensure that both fighters come in at more or less the same weight. if there was no rehydration clause garcia would have come in much bigger than davis. would that be fair...? its mind boggling to think that some people would want garcia to fight davis as a middleweight ... come on. both fighters also did the rehydration weigh in so both of them weighed under 146 @ 12hrs before the fight ... thats fair. gervonta should stay at 135 and have a loooong reign there dominating because he is perfectly built for that weight class. it is just fair for anybody who challenges him to come and fight at his weight class.
These r casual fans Garcia fans don’t watch boxing fr 😂😂
@@ExtremeSpeed-qh2bn so you would be okay with gervonta at 150 - 155 fighting garcia at 165 - 170 ...? i.e. approx 10pds difference..? doesnt make sense
@Extreme Speed so by saying "equal the playing field" you mean let ryan garcia weight make up for his lack of skills and boxing IQ😂😂
Shout out to Tarver....looking healthy and not sounding punch drunk. He got out in time....peace my bro💯💪🏾
Well said
Awesome interview and greatly appreciate Antonio for telling the truth about hydration. Everyone's thinking about it and casting their own doubts. Good on him for calling it out.
Canelo has used rehydration clauses in multiple fights and no one cared.
If the hydration was an issue he would have never gotten up from that second round knockdown. No one was mentioning hydration in round 6 when Ryan won the round with this right hands. Re-hydration clauses have been in boxing forever. Oscar was the only one using it to make excuses before the fight even happened during fight week. No one mentioned it when they were picking Ryan to win.
Watching that fight it didn’t matter you can see that Tank was a lot more skilled than Ryan only the basis people don’t see it and just don’t like Tank so they will find anything to discredit him smh
Ryan is Naturally bigger so he wants to make weight and balloon back up by fight time, how's that not an advantage for him?
@Jorge Hernandez Easy to stop Ryan from ballooning back up in weight obviously he's the bigger fighter so why not make it as even as possible?
If you don’t want to deal with rehydration clauses, fight at your weight
True lol people always looking to make excuses 😂
Aman thank you
Ironically TANK had missed weight on numerous occasions in the past, He also made opponents come up in weight and now its suddenly unfair?😅 They claim Tank is 140 pound Champ, as well as being a 3 division champ right? The double standards is strong in this one.😅We don't wanna see another catchweight and hydration clause in the future vs Haney Loma Shakur is what TARVER was saying because it will nullify the BEST vs BEST 🤔.
@@louigel017 everyone should just fight at their own weight. Tank and him both had to reweigh in on fight day, not like one had to and the other didn’t
@@louigel017 if somebody is calling out tank why would tank goto their weight class? Casual he’s never called out anybody and made them move up they call him out they gotta fight at his weight class simple
so well spoken
I listened to him before I commented. I understand. Great questions. Great person to interview.
They are there, Tarver, for the same reasons there's weight classes. If you're not lightweight, dont fight lightweights 😅
same here , everyone wants an advantage , old days giants vs midgets no excuses LOL
I agree 💯 absolutely!!!
remember, i believe it was at 130, Lomachenko 1st professional fight with OrlandoSalido? Salido made weight then stepped into theRing as a full fledge Welterweight at 147😂🤣
tank was calling out 140 pounders lmfaoo. Tanks lies to his fans face and they eat it up.
Canelo use rehydration clause all the time even de la Hoya did it too
facts
All A-side boxers do it, or do other things to tip the scale in their favor. But they were also the B-side coming up and made it to where they are so idk why people complain so much
Well spoken.
On point 👌 💯
Roy was drained when he fought him 😂
Dude I was just about to bring that up why didn't he let roy fight him at his rehydrate weight

Bro what they’re were both at 144
Keep same energy when haney fights loma about weight difference
@@tadasblinda8708 Haney going to school loma
@@PlayHal they both at 144 because of the rehydration limit… Garcia just need to fight in a heavier weight class
Lol tank weight bullied so many of his opponents. Hector Garcia was literally a 130 pounder. Tank is a coward and wants all the advantages for himself.
For all the people saying Tank drained Ryan and took advantage basically answer me this. Final weigh in were they both not 144? Which mean they both took advantage of the 10 pound rehydration clause right? If tank was to have fought Ryan at 140 what weight do you think Ryan would’ve came In at and who would it have been in favor of? Mind you if Ryan would’ve won y’all wouldn’t have cared about the weight because he won keep that same energy.
i think ryan wouldve lost regardless but this is extreemly flawed logic hahah ryan is bigger and cuts more weight if ryan didnt have a rehydration clause he wouldve weighed in much heavier. its common knowledge cutting weight takes oxygen out of brain. Tank has a small frame and has pretty much stopped growing where as ryan is stilll growing in to his frame. If you think a rehydration clause doesnt affect anything your literally slow man. Also the "if they fought at 140" statement is irrelevant because again because if ryan cant eat breakfest because he has to make sure he doesnt put on too much weight its obviously draining haha but weight bullies are annoying so i get it but imagine if guys like peraria in the ufc had a rehydration clause and couldnt weigh in more then 205 on fight night WHEN they fight at 185. it would severly affect them lololol
@@mylesmurphy5716 I’ve cut weight plenty of time for fights and for camps with other fighters. Is it fun no but anybody in combat sports know what comes with it. My point is the rehydration clause didn’t just go for Ryan it was for both fighters. Me bringing up 140 is because even after him losing people are still saying if he fought him at 140 it would’ve been different. It’s not like Ryan has been fighting at 140 his whole career he’s only been there for 2 fights. In fact the only reason he fought fortuna at 140 is because fortuna said he wasn’t losing weight to fight at 135 which is where the fight was supposed to be. Again if the fight was at 140 Ryan would’ve had the advantage because rather people want to admit it or not that’s how the fight game works now. Every contract for every boxing match has a advantage for particular fighters rather it be the size of the ring the size of the gloves a weight stipulation. The fight being at 136 was golden boys idea for the catch weight because tank refused 140. All I’m saying is if Ryan wins there’s no comments about him being drained because his fans wouldn’t have cared he won but the moment he loses there’s a million reasons why outside of he wasn’t ready. It’s not just Ryan any big fighter with a fan base has done canelo beating people he’s unstoppable loses he had a injury wilder knockout king runs into fury every fight he loss was a different reason why. Tank had a injury and won against Cruz they hate him so much the the story was the injury was fake and he just couldn’t put Cruz away now imagine if he lost. Ufc being compared to boxing always gets touchy because yea all their fighter fight each other but look how often their stars fight and for how much. The highest paid ufc fighters to date are Conor and Jon. When was the last time Conor won? And Jon just came back after how long? Francis just left because of money. It’s easy to make cards when your fighters aren’t making much most ufc fighters still have regular jobs and it’s not by choice.
@@mylesmurphy5716 Ryan isn’t growing to his frame dude is 24 stop the cap😂
This was all stated prior to the fight taken place though so why do you think it wouldn’t be stated in a losing effort make it make sense. I’m personally not really a fan of either but I always had Tank winning but to act like it doesn’t make a difference is misleading especially if you say you’ve done it then you actually know for a fact it does
@@tmitche9 Because people pick and choose when they care about it is my point. Oscar went on a whole press run bashing tank about things that he himself implemented in his fights and his fighters fights and the masses ate it up as if it’s not hypocritical. The same Oscar that made Floyd come up to a weight he never fought in to fight but went down 2 weight classes to try and take manny’s belt. The same Oscar that made his now business partner Bernard fight under similar stipulations and lost the same way Ryan did. The whole time canelo was with golden boy the same type of contract Ryan signed Oscar was giving out for canelo. So my point is it’s only a problem when the odds aren’t in your favorite fighter or the promoters fighters favor. Cutting weight can be tough but we acting like Ryan was welterweight or middleweight being asked to come down. Ryan is a 135 fighter who only fought at 140 2 times and one of them wasn’t because he wanted to. The fortuna fight was supposed to be at 135. Fortuna said he wasn’t losing weight so they fight at 140 or it’s no fight. So to say he was drained after trying to get his last fight at 135 is reaching for excuses to have in the pocket if he loses
I agree 100 % Tank was just at the end of the day the Hungrier Fighter, Ryan cut way to much weight period. I have been there big time when testing for my Jr. Black Belt in Tung Soo Do/ Moo Daw Qwan I had two 16 year old younger fellas on me at the same way. One hit me with a Round House Kick that absolutely Dropped me. The Wind Left My Body.
Well said 👌👌👌👌
If the hydration was an issue he would have never gotten up from that second round knockdown. No one was mentioning hydration in round 6 when Ryan won the round with this right hands. Re-hydration clauses have been in boxing forever. Oscar was the only one using it to make excuses before the fight even happened during fight week.
Brian signed the contract. All you dick riders run around here trying to complain your boy got his z$$ whooped plain and simple. He gave me extra pound. He been calling tank out for 3 or 4 years when 1:30 1:35 could he could make. He wanted tank up at 1:40 cuz he thought he could get the size advantage and bully. But sorry tank the a side of this record. Foolio!!!!
The long the fight the weaker you get
@@antoniogiles589 One if you look at weigh-in if you know anything about combat sports Ryan didn't look emaciated his own brother gave an interview and said Ryan never picks up more than 10 lb anyway.

How the hell would you know he would have never gotten up? Sit somewhere casual
Ryan showed up he made the weight just fine.
Garcia went against his Managers and wanted this fight so bad; so desperate that he agreed to this. Not only should he have been patient in the ring, he also should've been patient outside. Wait for due time to fight an already proven Champ.
Nah, it was a good move. More fighters should do this instead of just trying to keep their record
Especially since Davis much older
@@victorespino5650 I agree about keeping your record. I hate that nonsense. However, you don't jump in like this if you're that bad compared to yiur competition. He didn't even belong in there. Fight one more fight or two at least and then fight Tank. You don't duck, but you prepare. You don't force your entire career. He looked like an amateur in there
He’s young he will come again but you are correct Ryan was too eager
what make are those sunglasses please?
Best breakdown I’ve seen pretty unbiased and well said...
Ryan wanted Tank Davis! Even without the rehydration clause, he would've lost. The skills were unmatched for Tank. Hands down! Since Tank is 5'5, everyone doesn't want to accept that he's knocking dudes out. There's always an excuse.
Somebody with some sense, finally. The rehydration clause had no effect what so ever it’s skill level and Ryan was many many levels below, period.
@@Mr.108st2x Idk if it had no effect. I do agree Ryan had no business in that ring with Tank. I agree there. But saying ni effect is a little ridiculous. I think you're missing Tarvers point Tank also isn't the first 5'5 lightweight to knock dudes out 😂. It's been happening since the beginning of boxing. He's not knocking out welterweights ffs
Ryan can now move up to 140lbs with no rehydration limit and fight Regis Progras
Lol, Garcia doesn’t have the balls to face champs at 140
@@themango6140 so is tank lol, now wait for him to duck the haney, loma or shakur.
@@themango6140 Neither does tank. All that power everyone talks about and he won't even move up. Nor will be fight the best. Dude is out there fighting Ryan Garcia ffs. Garcia had no business being in there. Christ I watched a video if tank talking about retiring soon 😂. Dude wants to be remembered as a great, he's gonna have to add about 8-10 TOP NAMES from multiple divisions to his resume before he retires. He's fought no one. Better at least fought Loma, Haney, Shakur. And that still won't get you ATG status
Amazing analysis, Mr. Tarver
Wonderful interview by Antonio Tarver 🎤.
No weight draining yourself down to nothing to get an advantage is going get someone hurt. These fighters need to start fighting at their true weight. The IBF has the same rules and no one complains about it. Ryan was still able to rehydrate to whatever he wanted after the second morning weigh-in.
Facts, Ryan needs to fight at light middleweight, then he wouldn't have those problems
I don't think so. He has to be under 146 it was in the clause
If he would of beat tank we wouldn't be talking about this, and he had speed and strength, his punches had speed on them and he had power with them, let's keep it real that boy lose and that's why they saying all of this
@@drlovevero I'm sure people would've brought up something they always do whenever their fighter loses
@@Quietplague2000 he’s saying that when competing for IBF title the rehydration clause put in by tank for Ryan is the same for everyone competing for that belt and no one thinks that someone getting drained. Like Caleb plant for instance for all his title fights except his canelo fight had to weigh in the second day at 10 pounds the next morning. Spence same thing until he unified with porter
It was the skills not the rehydration
Tarver is a legend in his own right!! Great 👍🏿 commentary from a fighters perspective!! Peace and love.
Always good to see and hear what 🥊champ's got to say.
They both had the life sucked out of them! WTF.. He shouldn’t have took the fight if that was really a problem! Ryan quit in the fight and comfortably got up after the 10 count.. He has about a minute left to at least TRY to weather the storm and get back to his corner to TRY to recover, but he gave up..
Ryan went down and saw Tank smiling and knew he would have gotten seriously hurt within the next minute. That was a career saver.
Ryan has a documented interview where he said he likes to step into the ring at 148 4lbs did not make a difference
He knew he couldn’t get back up in fight he took a whole liver shot his body couldn’t get back up ready to fight or else he was risking just getting knocked out I would’ve waited till the 10 seconds was over aswell
Fight would have NEVER happened buddy if he didn’t agree to all the stipulations. #UseCommonSense🧠 + Tank does not cut as much weight as Ryan or walk around at the same weight. You can’t compare weight cuts.
Facts
That was beautifully said 🙏🏾 Every word. These contract clauses both rob the fans of great potential bouts with fighters in their prime and/or has fighters in compromised physical condition if the fights are agreed upon.
Tarver knows what he is talking about . Need to see more of this man on boxing commentary and shows.
*Of course he " slams ". Cause he was always under the influence of something...*
Really? If you and anyone that liked the commen can"t admit Ryan was at a disatvantage beacuse of the clause your're a real Tank nut hugger.
Tarver a real OG of the fight game
Man please shut up
Who is he ?
Tarver is right 💯. I like his thoughts on the fight and potential upcoming fights
I always like to hear Tarver talk boxing
"You got any excuses now Roy?"
He fought a depleted Roy Jones to his claim to fame.
Great Analysis, Bruh did his thing breaking down the fight and the game of boxing!!!!
Super said
I thought Ryan was going to put up a little fight. Shit was boring
Isn’t this the same guy who boasts about being Roy Jones Jr who weight drained himself ?
Really like this guy’s conversation very realistic good speaker. Thank you.
This weight stuff is killing me, there is a reason for weight classes. Boxing and UFC should weigh in the day of the fight. What's the point of weighting in prior and then weighing in at whatever weight during the fight?
"If you can beat the man, then you can beat the man"... 💯 correct
Yea I liked that well said by him ..
🧢 Ryan just isn’t on Tanks level
This rehydration clause excuse is ridiculous. Tank had the exact same stipulations aswell so where was the advantage? Especially with Ryan being a regular 135lbs fighter? Besides that, shouts to Tarver on his breakdown of the fight. Best breakdown I’ve heard thus far 💯
Yep he did . He don’t have enough skills, tank was beating him on his back foot lol
Bruh everyone knows this plays out to tank advantage and it was the reason why tank wanted it in there with that being said ryan should have never took the fight and he shouldn't have just agreed to everything that tank wanted. Not to mention tank had a spy in Ryan's camp . But either way none of that matters now but we shouldn't expect to see tank in any big fights with haney or stevenson he views himself as the face of boxing and is going to want to be the a side and everyone must agree to what he wants and no one in there right state of mind is going to do that
Well said everything u said was 100 accurate how I feel . Good interview . Do something about that sweat thou . Carry one of those car wash towels that absorbs water quick
Ryan is making NO excuses!!! He has remained gracious in his defeat! It’s other people that are saying stuff about the rehydration clause and what not
Yea but are those folks wrong?? Yea Ryan sucked it up, but even in the back of Ryan's mind that is going to always be there. On Davis part it was a Chess move well played..
Ryan had the height advantage, Reach advantage, “Speed” Advantage, he want the weight advantage too 😂😂 NO EXCUSES
Ryan said he walks around at 150 basically he weighed in 146 I believe…. How is he drained?
Not enough time to let the body fully rehydrate , 10hrs vs 24hrs it makes a difference. Not saying Tank wouldn't have won anyways but could of had a more exciting fight!
@@Mendoza91Mr I don’t believe so brotha Tank showed he’s simply levels above Ryan that’s it fight would of went the same way Ryan is too green he just doesn’t have the experience and it’s okay nobody else at 135 would of made Ryan look as average as tank did
They were both 144
He didn't weigh 146 the first weigh in lol.
@@Mr.108st2x I tnink alot of people would have made Ryan look avg. Hes terrible. He didn't belong in that ring. It's not that Tank is sooo dam good, its that Ryan looks like an amateur still. He looked terrible. Like you said, he's too green
Great interview. Antonio is right on.
Tarver needs his own show asap! This man is no B's and breaks down fights very well. His fight IQ is phenomenal.
The rehydration clause applied to both fighters. So if Ryan can say he was depleted so can Tank because Tank had to abide by the same rehydration clause. All Tarver is saying allow Garcia to have a weight advantage. Well why have wright divisions?
My issue with the ending is the ref said "fight over or what would be count 11" ryan stood right up. So it was a heart thing not a debilitaing shot that he couldn't have continued with.
Standing up and standing up to fight are two completely different things 😂
@@diosydinero just admit it, he didnt want to continue. Im sure at 8 when he knodded yes like getting up at 10, everyone wss just so sure that he would try and lift up. The guy is a great fighter but even he will watch the tape, amd wish he tried for his fans and himself to sumon that mexican heart. Yes the hit hurt bad, thats tanks power. But if he wants to sit with the mic and say hes felt more power than tank, then that bring into question his heart.
By count 7 tho he was still making that face bc of the throbbing pain so that pain was still there at 7. So 10 was only 3 seconds after that & the count was over. You don’t know how bad that pain was still at when the ref hit 9 & 10
@@autoplusyes Ryan Garcia (born August 8, 1998) is an American professional boxer who held the WBC interim lightweight title in 2021. As of May 2022, he is ranked as the world's sixth-best active lightweight by The Ring magazine, the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, and ESPN, and tenth by BoxRec. Los Alamitos, California, U.S So stop the cap he ain’t Mexican 😂
No, look at his face when he was kneeling, he was in serious pain. A liver shot takes ur body out, ur brain wants to continue but ur body cant, he was done
Excellent analysis by Tarver!
It was hard for me to root for Roy and him at the same time. They had some epic fights against each other. Tarver is looking polished and his speech is most and foremost normal sounding. Its hard to see some boxers speech so slurred and sad for them. He spoke nothing but facts and thats ten toes down . Salute my brother 🫡
Ryan Garcia came in at 144.9 pounds, which is the same weight he comes in pretty much every other friend. We need to stop talking about this dehydration claws and talk about the judges cheating on the scorecard.
You can see his bones bro he was skinny 😂
Yeah them Judges need to be gone.
I’m sure Ryan came into that fight well over 150lb easy
@@fuqwhatyouthink4465 stop it, Ryan told Tank he looked drained.
Tarver keepin' it real as always.
You don't know nothing about boxing i bet you had Ryan to win now that he lost Tarver with all that crying sounds good Ryan got his azz whip bottom line
