I thought the line might be a little closer. Garcia odds are generous.
Hoping for a good fight, maybe a trilogy or at least a rematch.

Over 7.5 -135, I think both these guys are a little overrated in terms of finishing, big pressure of fight + Garcia length keeps Tank at bay first 3-4 rds.

I was able to nab 0 7.5 -110. I think Garcia will try to fight from the outside, which should make it harder for either man to finish. Let's hope we're right.
