April 23, (THEWILL) – In a highly anticipated match, Gervonta Davis emerged victorious over Ryan Garcia, with a technical knockout in the seventh round on Saturday night, in Las Vegas.
The decisive blow came in the form of a body punch that visibly hurt Garcia, who then fell to one knee and was unable to get back up, leading to the referee calling the fight. Despite the sudden finish, the fight had been relatively even up until that point.
Davis, who had predicted a seventh-round finish before the fight, solidified his status as a boxing superstar with this win. Though it was not a flawless performance, he consistently landed powerful blows and absorbed whatever Garcia dished out. With a record of 29-0, this victory marks the 27th time Davis has won a fight by KO, setting him up for potentially becoming the biggest name in the sport.
The loss for Garcia is a setback in his career, but he showed impressive stamina and held his own against Davis for the majority of the fight. Fans are now eagerly awaiting the next moves for both fighters, with Davis potentially facing even tougher opponents and Garcia looking to bounce back from this defeat.
