LAS VEGAS — The Saturday night showdown of what many thought would be the biggest fight of the year, between Gervonta “Tank“ Davis and Ryan “King” Garcia, turned out to be more confirmation of the new face of boxing. Davis proved himself to be a machine as he put Garcia to the canvas twice, only to have him not respond after a body shot to the liver in the seventh round, registering a TKO victory for Davis.
Davis(29- 0, 27 KO) scored a left hook to Garcia’s(23-1, 19 KO) body backing him up then forcing the California native now with one blemish on his record, to take one knee in agony never getting up as the ref counted him out at to 10 at 1:44 of Round 7 before a sellout crowd of 20,842 at the T-Mobile Arena, at the time of the stoppage all three judges scored the bout 95-94, 97-92 and 97-92 all for Davis who was in command of the bout most of the evening and now without a doubt is the face of professional boxing.
