Think if that shot Luke landed came from Tank it would have been lights out!
But Garcia would likely be more cagey you'd think against the elite guys?

He might fight more cagey, but he's left his chin in the air ever since he turned pro. Maybe this will be a wakeup call, we'll see. Either way, Lopez or Tank, both just better , more complete fighters, though Garcia is still very handy of course

He’s too stylistically arrogant. Until someone proves otherwise, he’s going to think he can check hook everyone into oblivion. I imagine he’ll have to wake up and have a few weeks before it sinks in.

No 2nd chances with Tank, on that evidence he would brutalise Ryan. Going back in straight lines with chin high isn't cutting it against him.

He’s just as fast and explosive as Garcia- at least- but a FAR better ring technician

Repeating the same thing, how RG reacted wel.
For me the entire tone of commentary shifts into spastic as soon as Garcia is involved, having been relatively inoffensive before

This. Big error on Campbell's part. Disappointing end and although undoubtedly a good win for Garcia I'm not convinced he'll go much further than this. Early days though of course.
The hype and commentary was nauseating. Really awful.

Get used to it. Commentary became PR in the subscription era. But it's gone into overdrive now. Onlt going to get worse, no going back.

I can’t recall them saying anything I’d remember tonight before Garcia came on mate, I mean they seemed bland enough and I just didn’t notice them which is all I ask for. and all of a sudden they’re Adam smith on a fvcking MAJOR class A bender

I'm grateful to Garcia for the stoppage, as I was just about to mute the feed.

Round after round, Garcia landing on gloves and elbows. Campbell landing clean return punches. Apparently those are clear rounds for Garcia.

Those punch stats were a joke too.

Easy cancellation of DAZN for me. Free month is one thing, but I'm not paying for that nonsense.
:lol: it was a cracking card, £2 a month, call yourself a boxing fan, mute it ya stingey bastard ;-)

Do you think that Tank has the boxing IQ that Campbell possesses though? I mean he's clearly a more devastating puncher and all around better fighter, but in terms of the art of hitting and not being hit, I feel like Luke might be superior. I feel like Tank can also be pretty hittable at times. I thought he was being outboxed by Santa Cruz before he knocked him out cold.

I think Tank is pretty handy as a boxer as well. The Leo fight was one of those where it looked more to me like a guy just having a slow start, taking a look, than a guy just being outboxed and having no answer for it.

Garcia a lot of the time to me looks like he doesnt actually have a full game plan and is just winging punches, and he's got some impressive offensive talents so it's been enough and will be enough vs most guys

That chin he leaves very vulnerable though, he stands straight up and doesnt move his head great. He's gotta really work on that to move his level up.

Ohhhhhhh yes, to bang Garcia out and more. I’ll link you a video that shows what I mean better than I could explain it in a couple of days mate. Davis has PLENTY of ring craft and skill. Santa Cruz was landing tuppeny happeny stuff while getting broken down. After Davis realised he had to at least respect Leo’s skills he just calmly hunted him down. That KO punch isn’t a move you try unless you are COMPLETELY confident

Who do people think is the best of the bunch at 135? For me at the moment, I believe its Lopez, but it's a tough pick.
