After three rounds of slow action, things began to start up in round four as Gervonta Davis (28-0 / 26 by KO) began to turn up the volume against a game Hector Luis Garcia (16-1 / 10 by KO).

The bout between the two unbeaten southpaws was for Davis’ WBA “Regular” Lightweight title belt, as Garcia was moving up in weight from his WBA “Super” Featherweight title belt claim.

Round seven competitive, but then in round eight Davis landed staggering punches that accounted for Garcia not to answer round nine, with the official stoppage time being 0.13 of that round.

A look at the judge’s scorecards though eight rounds were: 79-73 (7 to 1) on two cards and 78-74 (6 to 2) on third card … I personally had it 6 rounds to 2, and 78-74.

The fight was significant as Davis now moves on to a proposed mega lightweight showdown with undefeated Ryan Garcia (23-0 / 19 by KO).

  1. The official scores were way off. If Tank meets a fine boxer with a solid chin he is in trouble.
