Gervonta Davis finished Hector Luis Garcia last night in Washington, DC to seemingly set up a bout with his long-time rival Ryan Garcia in April.
The WBA 'regular' lightweight champion defended his belt once again with stoppage No.26 or his 28-bout professional career after a tumultuous build-up and is now set to face Garcia in a massive cross-promotional bout later this year. He made the capacity crowd of over 19,000 wait until 1AM for his bout to begin, and took some time to get going in the early exchanges.
Once again, Davis proved his considerable drawing power just down the road from his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland and began to impress after about four rounds. He then began to take over the contest, and despite an unexpected and spirited effort from the Dominican was able to control proceedings.
