Gervonta Davis DOESN'T GIVE Ryan Garcia A CHANCE TO WIN THEIR FIGHT Devin Haney - Shakur Stevenson Former world champion and well-known analyst American Andre Ward shared his opinion on the fight between his compatriots Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia. "I think we need to support the Tank in this battle. This fight is not the best option for any of the guys, but I give my preference to Davis. I am based on his experience, the power of the punch and his boxing abilities. Ryan is explosive and very fast. The tank will have to fight this. This will all be a problem for Gervonta until he catches up with his opponent. Here the question arises, will Garcia withstand Davis' blow? When Jervonta lands his punch, will he be able to keep his composure and continue to carry out his plan for the fight? If Garcia does that, he'll have a good chance of winning, but it won't be easy for both guys. I doubt that this fight will go the whole distance," Ward said. Garcia and Davis are expected to fight on April 15th, but before that, Gervonta will fight with Hector Luis Garcia, and Ryan with Mercito Gesta. Top lightweight prospect Ryan Garcia was outraged by the victory of Teofimo Lopez in a fight against Sandor Martin. After the final gong, Garcia was sure that the judges would give the victory to the Spanish boxer, and was very surprised when the decision went into Lopez's piggy bank. "Sandor Martin won, unless they decide to rob him. He did what he wanted, given his talent and skill set. He never missed a clean kick and, as for me, he boxed cleanly enough. Note that he has no power. Maybe you think it was a close or not bad decision, but it's a bad one. How did Theo win with a score of 97-93 or how many was there? This last card was disgusting," Garcia wrote. Promising American Ryan Garcia shared his expectations from a possible duel with his compatriot Gervonta Davis. According to Ryan, he takes a potential opponent seriously, but is confident that he will find a way to win. "I have to stay focused. I train hard for any opponent and take it seriously. There are many fighters who are considered strong punchers, but I was able to catch anyone. I expect to win and I know that I will find a way to achieve my goal. I will stop everything he tries to do in the ring. I know that when I beat my opponent, he gets injured. So I don't expect that in the case of the "Tank" everything will be different. I have to take my next opponent seriously, but I don't think Davis is special either. He is no better than any of my opponents in my life. I just look at him as an ordinary fighter. When you're at the top, you don't have to count on easy fights. So I have to take it seriously, but at the same time be confident of winning. It's going to be a great fight that everyone wanted. He is very important for boxing, because it has been a long time since there was a confrontation when two young invincible fighters in the prime of life meet in the ring," Garcia said. It is expected that Ryan and Gervonta will fight on April 15, but before that Davis will fight with Hector Luis Garcia, and Garcia with Mercito Gesta. Bob Santos, the coach of the WBA world champion in the second featherweight Hector Luis Garcia, believes that his ward will be a more difficult test for Gervonta Davis than Ryan Garcia. Recall that Gervonta and Hector will fight on January 7, and if Davis wins, he will face Ryan on April 15. "It's enough to look at achievements, not at advertising. I'm not saying that Ryan is not a talented boxer, and he won't have a great fight with the Tank. But let's see what achievements the guys have in the ring. Hector is an Olympian and a world champion. At the moment, my boyfriend has achieved more than Ryan Garcia and that's a fact. Let's look at the track record of boxers. Will Ryan Garcia be able to say that he fought someone equal to Chris Colbert? Yes, you can say about Campbell now, but I am completely sure that Campbell would never have defeated Chris in a fight," the coach said. The star American lightweight puncher Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) plans to return to the ring in January, and his next opponent should be former title contender Mercito Gesta (33-3-3, 17 KOs), representing the Philippines. According to Sports Illustrated, the fight will take place in the limit of the first welterweight, but it is still unclear whether the date is the 21st, or the 28th of January. The venue of the event is the city of Austin (Texas, USA).
