Tank needs to dig into Ryan’s Body and wear him down make him lower his arms to protect his body then go to the Head for the KO
Ryan is going to win. This is a fight I honestly wish I had a lot of money to bet on it. I think people have short term memory and they forgot about Ryan because he did not have a tune up fight. That’s what makes boxing interesting I am honestly shocked that he is -200. Looks like the Casino’s are going to be wrong 2 times in a month. They said Joe Joyce was going to win his last fight as well. Who is in charge these betting odds anyway?
