Gelbonta must prove himself

“Tank passes the eyeball test very well. He looks like the real thing. I think he’s the real deal,” Edwards said, explaining why many boxing fans wondered if Hector could beat Tank Davis. When asked if he believed he was not, he replied:

“If you notice big punchers before they lose, they’re always big favorites in a match. If you notice guys like Tyson, Hearns. Think of all the big punchers you know. They usually lose.” It is a big favorite before.

“Tank will likely knock him out, according to the eyeball testWe don’t know; we have to see. When asked if Hector Garcia’s defensive ability in past fights suggests his superior ability or if he is the product of good matchmaking, Edwards said: increase. .

“When you step up and fight someone who isn’t well-selected, or someone you’ve spent eight to 10 weeks preparing for, the results start to change a bit.

“We’ll have to see. I don’t know enough about him to say that. He looks like a solid fighter to me, but what I’ve seen is [Chris] Battle of Colbert.So it’s hard to judge a man by a single fight. [Hector Garcia] It may have been hot that night. It’s hard to judge a man by one fight.

Hector can’t be reckless

“‘Suddenly’ is a good word because his powers come out of nowhere,” Edwards said of Tank Davis. You have to be at ‘s&q’s and you have to be really vigilant.

“You get shots you can’t see out of the clinch, so you need a high level of awareness. Guys making quiet agreements out of the clinch, and he [Tank Davis] Pull up with “Boom!” he’s really good at it. He brought such a man to England. he was breaking him

“It wasn’t even an illegal shot. It was a good shot, but you have to be very aware when dealing with big punchers. [Hector].

“Everybody has a tendency. Tank has very few set-up moves that he does. You have to have real awareness and your punches have to be really sharp. You can take counters.” So you can’t go crazy with punches.

“Rory [Romero] It worked really well. he was doing well. I thought he won the fight when it came to points, but people only remember the final result.

“He overcommitted with his right hand and Tank hit him straight into his left hand. said.

Garcia is well trained

“Garcia has a good coach. He knows what he’s doing. Bob Santos is a good coach,” said Edwards. “Hopefully they have the right game plan.

“I don’t like talking about how the ship runs when I’m not in camp with a guy. I don’t know him well enough to say that.

“You can tell from the outside that he’s a great fighter. I’ve been around Calvin Ford a little bit. I think he’s a great coach.

“Whenever you have one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world and you’ve had them since they were kids and you’ve brought them up to this point, you need to get props as a trainer. I have.

“He’s an excellent trainer.

When asked if Tank looked down on Garcia, Bledman said, “I don’t know, I don’t know him very well.” I’m just guessing.

“I’ve never even met Tank before. I know his coach. His coach is cool like Kenny and Calvin, but I don’t know him. I don’t know if the is looking down on him, some can function under utter chaos.

“There can be a lot of people around them who have a lot of out-of-ring stuff. Told.

Tanks can’t miss this guy

“So I don’t know if he’s overlooking the man or if he’s worried about something else,” Edwards said. Some, you have to lock them in. You have to pick up their phones and focus on whatever they are doing.

“So it’s up to the fighter. You probably know more than I do, so I don’t know. He [Gervonta] He seems to get through when he needs to get through. He seems to have the clutch gene that got him this far.

“People talk about his opponents, but he still has to get through. He still has to go out there and deliver those knockouts and get people seated and excited. So he still has to do his thing.

“I can imagine he’s probably locked in and ready, and that’s what his career has shown so far. .

“When you have an attractive trainer, lots of good people in the gym, everyone is winning, everyone is above you, and everything you do is valued.

“Your sit-ups, your push-ups, how many rounds you’ve sparred, how much you’re doing with this or that bag. It’s all important.” [Hector] Garcia fights.

“I don’t think he’ll win. That’s his trainer. I’ll be honest. I don’t think he’ll win the fight, but I think he’ll fight with a shield.

“I think he’ll let everyone know he’s here to win. I think Tank cut the work for him, but let’s see how it goes. Tank might clip him in the first round.” It’s a guy like him, but let’s see how the fight goes.
