Gervonta Davis knocked out Ryan Garcia with a withering body shot in the seventh round of their eagerly awaited summit meeting on Saturday night, delivering a signature performance in the year’s most anticipated fight that conferred his status as the face of American boxing.
The 28-year-old three-division champion, nicknamed Tank, sent Garcia to the canvas in the second round before finishing him off in the seventh with a perfect uppercut to the ribs in front of a capacity crowd at the T-Mobile Arena along the Las Vegas Strip.
