Davis is one of boxing’s most thunderous punchers, having eviscerated almost all of his 30 opponents to date, winning by knockout 28 times from 30 outings. He’s a bona fide ticket seller, a pay-per-view attraction, and one of the sport’s finest pound-for-pound talents.
In the clip below, you can see Tank rehearse various punch routines with his padman but what is most impressive is the co-ordination, the speed, and the accuracy, to deliver a repertoire that looks as choreographed as this.
It is reminiscent of what made Mayweather so special when he trained.
Premier Boxing Champions, is organizing the Tank vs Roach event alongside TGB Promotions, and Stephen Espinoza, a consultant for PBC and former president of Showtime Sports, has previously told GIVEMESPORT that, out of many available options to Tank, the fight that makes the most sense is one against Garcia.
In 2023, Davis defeated Garcia by knockout with a particularly nasty shot to the body. The Las Vegas gate generated more than $20 million, per GIVEMESPORT sources, and was a runaway success on pay-per-view as it sold to approximately 1.2 million households in the US alone.
Considering Garcia’s name value has only grown since their fight, a rematch could be as successful from a business point-of-view as the first fight.
