Further, he even asserted that ‘Tank’ was better than his opponent by a long margin in the entire fight. A lot of fans do agree with this opinion as Davis was able to dominate Garcia for the majority of the rounds. “He was several levels above Ryan Garcia.”

Additionally, White addressed Garcia‘s claims of a mole in his camp, dismissing them as inconsequential and stretching for explanations. In the Hollywood actor’s view, having an opponent’s agent in your team does not change the outcome of the fight. “What could a mole do? This is ridiculous!
