Gervonta Davis IS SHOCKED BY Ryan Garcia's PREDICTION FOR A FIGHT WITH Shakur Stevenson /Devin Haney
Gervonta Davis IS SHOCKED BY Ryan Garcia's PREDICTION FOR A FIGHT WITH Shakur Stevenson Devin Haney The lightweight division of boxing has a vast pool of great fighters. Two of the best would be Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia. Both of them have strutted to the top with excellent performances. However, they never went up against each other as yet. But now the two are in talks for a potential fight. Therefore, in regard to this probably match up, the Mexican boxing superstar, Canelo Alvarez, shared his thoughts. While talking to the Fight Hub TV, Canelo Alvarez was asked about the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia clash. He mentioned that this will be a good fight for boxing. Furthermore, he was asked who would win the fight, to which Alvarez replied, “I think Tank has got more experience. That’s what I think, but in boxing, you never know.” The Mexican tried to remain impartial when asked who he thought would win the fight, but he ultimately took the side of Gervonta Davis(27-0-0) because of his greater amount of experience in the sport. Although there is no formal announcement on the battle so far, it appears that shortly, fans will learn the exact date of this much-awaited clash. Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia: A contest for the best fighter It has been weeks since the news broke out about a fight between the two fighters. It all started when Ryan Garcia(23-0-0) called out the Baltimore prodigy for a potential bout. KingRy last fought against Javier Fortuna inside the ring on July 16. Soon after his victory, he called out Davis for a showdown. As Garcia was answering questions from the media after his win, he took the opportunity and said, “I’m not going back down to 135 for nothing, but I will fight Tank next. If Tank wants that at 140. But ay, I’m gonna record all the negotiations so you guys don’t make no headlines saying I’m ducking. If he want it, let’s get it.” Although Davis did not confirmed anything, he surely gave a hint that he was ready to fight Garcia. Tank wrote in a Tweet, “See y’all the end of the year..#TheONE.” Hector Luis Garcia's 2022 campaign continues to sizzle. He has stepped up his level of competition in his past two fights and has looked equally impressive in each outing. His unanimous decision victory over Roger Gutierrez on Saturday night in Florida resulted in him capturing the WBA super featherweight title. The bout was part of a Showtime quadrupleheader. Garcia (16-0) started off strong and fended off a late challenge from his Venezuelan rival. “I completely dominated the first 6 rounds and then Gutierrez tried to put on more pressure which I responded to by showing how much heart I have even though I really didn’t have to do that because I was winning the fight comfortably,” Garcia told BoxingScene.com. In February the Dominican burst onto the scene with a huge upset victory over the previously unbeaten Chris Colbert. He took the fight on less than two week's notice as a late replacement for Gutierrez, who was originally scheduled to face Colbert, and was listed as high as a 50-1 underdog at some offshore sports books. If all goes according to plan, it won’t be long before Garcia seeks out new challenges. He would like to close out the year in a unification fight against WBO/WBC champion Shakur Stevenson and then move up to the lightweight division and attempt to conquer a new weight class. “My next move is either a title defense or better yet a unification fight against Shakur Stevenson to close out the year. After that I would like to take on any of the champions at 135 pounds with Gervonta Davis at the top of my list,” said Garcia.
