In the video uploaded by ESNEWS, reporters were asking a lot of different questions to Tank in the build-up to his fight on April 22. Ryan Garcia leaving himself open and getting knocked down by Luke Campbell is a common critique people use against Garcia. So one of the reporters asked a similar question to Garcia. He asked Davis’s thoughts on throwing fast and hard punches but throwing them ‘like nothing is coming back his way’.

Tank seemed pretty indecisive as he struggled to come up with words to express his thoughts about the question. He said, “I don’t think he just… I don’t know, bro”. He then showed how unfazed he is by Garcia’s speed and simply answered, “He just doing what he do best, I guess”.
