Ryan Garcia is the most talked about man in boxing right now, but every time his name is mentioned, it seems Gervonta Davis is too. Now, “King Ry” has revealed plans to quit and will give his opponent another match at a different weight than the first fight.
Tank beat Garcia in a 136-pound fight last year, and considering Garcia didn’t make it to 140 pounds last week, it’s clear that the restrictions and watershed lines that followed played a big part. to this war.
To cement the point, Garcia faced Devin Haney at 143 pounds this past Friday, dominating three heavyweight championships in contention with apparent dominance before receiving the majority decision.
While Haney’s title shot is still undecided, star power is a real asset – perhaps the most valuable asset in the sport of boxing today, in Garcia’s view. As a result, Garcia made his name in the world of Davis and Canelo Alvarez, and fans clamored for a match against the WBA lightweight champion.
Through social media, Garcia called on Davis for a second fight, suggesting that the fight should be in the weight class.
