Over the weekend in Washington (USA), local WBA World lightweight champion knockout Gervonta Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) beat Dominican belt holder Hector Luis Garcia (16-1, 10 KOs) in a non-title fight.
Davis – Garcia. We don’t even know… – a report about this event
Former absolute in this weight Australian George Kambosos Jr. (20-2, 10 KOs)
commented the victory of “Tank”: “Well done! Congratulations on winning! But I saw that Gervonta had some bad moments during the fight. Anyway, it was a very competitive fight until he caught him with a tight punch.
According to Kambosos, “this is the whole” Tank “. Yes, he has outstanding striking power. Yes, he knows how to finish fights ahead of schedule. So far, this is enough for him to win. But as the level of opposition rises, this advantage may disappear. After all, further rivals will not only be stronger, they will also hold the blow better. And the whole question is, is he going to continue to give rounds, counting on one accurate hit? After all, if so, then sooner or later he will fly into someone on points.
What if this happens in the spring in a fight against Ryan Garcia? Kambosos’ opinion: “We’ll see… I think it’s a great fight. Respect to both, if it comes to a fight. I understand that this is not always due to boxers. There is too much politics in boxing. But let’s wait for this fight anyway. After all, more than once the fighters have already announced fights that never took place. But if they fight, it will be very good for boxing.”
And here is the reaction of the boxing community to the victory of Davis over Garcia. The loser named the reason for stopping the fight with Gervonta. And the winner explained why he “slowed down” at the beginning of the battle.
