Garcia has been bulking up as of late. That could slow him down a bit. Edge still to Garcia. I think Gervonta is the more experienced fighter. Great fight if it happens.

Why does Garcia keep talking like he wants Tank? That man light years ahead of this tiktoker. Even Canelo and his ppl around him done said he don’t take it serious enough. Tank by KO rd 6 if that was to ever happen
