Davis-Garcia Make Compromise Make 4/22 Official

Henry Clay was an American attorney and statesman. He also served as the 7th US speaker of the house. Caly was known as the "Great Compromiser". He came up with the Compromise of 1850 and is largely credited for keeping the country together through a tumultuous 19th century. Clay said a good compromise is when "NEITHER side is happy!" contrary to the cliche we hear today, "both sides are happy." When neither side is happy, we have a good compromise, according to the great compromiser. That's what it looks like we have in the Tank Davis VS Ryan Garcia deal. The bout is finalized for April 22nd. It's a 12-round, 136-pound bout, and they are contractually obligated to a rematch only if Garcia beats Tank on April 22nd. Davis will have the option to exercise the rematch clause. This sort of answers the question as to who is the A-side. It's Davis. If Tank isn't successful in the first bout, the rematch will be head promoted by Golden Boy and would be televised by DAZN, the streaming service that has rights to Golden Boy. This was a major sticking point for Garcia's team during the final steps of negotiating.

However, Davis is highly favored to win by both Vegas sportsbooks and the fighting public. The 28-year-old Davis opens up a nearly 3-1 favorite over the 24-year-old Garcia. The bout will be held in Vegas, but no venue has, as of yet, been nailed down. Three possible venues are being discussed, all of which are in Las Vegas.

Garcia, 23-0 (19), last fought in July and blew away Javier Fortuna in six one-sided rounds. The win, given the level of opposition, may have been "King Ry's" career-best performance. Tank opted to take an interim fight and stopped Hector Luis Garcia in 2023's first major event. Davis set a gate record at the Capital One Arena in the nation's capital, when he stopped Garcia on January 7th to move his record to 28-0 (26).
