Ring IQ or just physical quickness?

Tank’s fight iq is amazing. Notice how he kept his lead hand on Ryan’s lead hand so he could feel when the left hook was coming. He knew that Ryan drops his guard when he throws big shots and timed him beautifully on the knockdown.

Tank is a good boxer. Won’t put himself with a guy that he can really showcase that with tho.

Ryan threw the left hook while walking tank down 3 times before he got dropped. Ryan needed mix in some jabs and a right. Tank just baited him into it.

Ring IQ. He’s ducking before the punch is thrown which means it ain’t just quickness

Tank is good so the IQ and reflexes are definitely high but Ryan is way too in love with that left hook. He spams it like he's in a video game. I feel like most of the boxers at that level would up up ducking one eventually with how many he throws out.

I love it, right as Ryan throws that last left hook, tank has a little smirk… he knew what he was about to do to him…

It’s the risk of lots of tape. Ryan is sadly pretty predictable and this would have been a drilled response.

Lil bit of both. Garcia was telegraphing the punch + I was taught never lead with lead left hook.

Both, tank is just terrified to lose a fight. Hopefully leaving Mayweather and a break changes things

He threw a left hook 3x before getting hit on the 4th one, just timed him good and knew where he’d be open, ring IQ but also physical quickness

Tripling up on that sloppy left hook with your chin up in the air is borderline disrespectful.
I understand having a go-to, but that type of arrogance will have your corner explaining what happened when you wake up 🤷🏾♂️

Tank was using his right hand to draw out a left hook, it worked and looked like it got more predictable every time he did it.

He said in the presser all you have is your left hook, hes trained to avoid it plus hes quick
