Sure.
But every time i think Davis can't take a shot, he does, and he proves it. His best attribute aside from power in left and rights is his ability to take a shot and force his way inside.
Just keep the lead hand tight on the noggin and force his way to the inside, like he always does.
Garcia isn't shrewd enough to bother Davis with any other punches.
Stoppage rnd 8, Garcia overwhelmed to the point of a breakdown. Heard it here first.
Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia: Rematch Clause Favors Davis In Contracts For April 22 PPV Fight
BY KEITH IDEC

Gervonta Davis joked during his post-fight press conference January 8 that Ryan Garcia agreed to virtually everything proposed in their contracts for a pay-per-view showdown that was finalized last week for April 22.
Garcia’s eagerness to prove himself versus Davis is evident in the details of their rematch clause. BoxingScene.com has learned that it favors Davis because they are contractually obligated to a rematch only if Garcia defeats Davis in their 12-round, 136-pound bout.
If Davis loses, he will then have the option of exercising his contractual right to an immediate rematch within a certain amount of time following their fight. If Garcia loses, Davis, who is considered the “A” side of their event, won’t have a contractual obligation to fight him again.
Davis opened as slightly less than a 3-1 favorite to defeat Garcia, according to Caesars Sportsbook.
Davis, 28, and Garcia, 24, confirmed Friday through their social media accounts that their much-discussed deal was completed for April 22 at a site to be determined in Las Vegas. The targeted date for their fight had long been April 15, but it was pushed back one week.
A site deal for the Davis-Garcia card hadn’t been finalized as of Wednesday. Three Las Vegas venues – the Raiders’ Allegiant Stadium, MGM Grand Garden Arena and T-Mobile Arena – are under consideration for the highest-profile fight on the 2023 boxing calendar.
Garcia and Davis previously announced November 17 on social media that they tentatively agreed to fight sometime in 2023 in Las Vegas.
Baltimore’s Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) first needed to defeat Dominican southpaw Hector Luis Garcia in an interim bout that took place January 7 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Davis stopped Garcia (16-1, 10 KOs, 3 NC) early in the ninth round of their 12-round, 135-pound fight, which headlined a Showtime Pay-Per-View event.
Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs), of Victorville, California, passed on a proposed tune-up fight against Filipino southpaw Mercito Gesta (33-3-3, 17 KOs), which would’ve taken place January 28. The popular knockout artist last fought July 16, when he dropped Dominican southpaw Javier Fortuna three times and knocked out Fortuna (37-4-1, 26 KOs, 2 NC) in the sixth round at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Vito Mielnicki Jr. To Face Elias Espadas On Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia Undercard 4/22
BY KEITH IDEC
Published Thu Mar 02, 2023, 04:13 PM EST
Vito Mielnicki Jr. has secured one of the undercard spots on the highest-profile pay-per-view show of 2023.
BoxingScene.com has learned that the 20-year-old junior middleweight will encounter Mexican veteran Elias Espadas in a 10-round, 154-pound bout on the Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia undercard April 22 at a venue to be determined in Las Vegas. Showtime is expected to stream Mielnicki-Espadas and additional bouts on its YouTube channel before the four-fight pay-per-view telecast begins.
Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions, which works with Davis, and Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Garcia, are working together to construct both the televised and non-televised portions of the Davis-Garcia undercard. Mielnicki is aligned with PBC as well.
According to the terms of their contracts, Showtime, which is partnered with PBC, will be the primary distributor of the Davis-Garcia event, will handle the production for the show and use its broadcast team.
In his most recent action, Mielnicki (14-1, 9 KOs) stopped Houston’s Omar Rosales (9-2-1, 5 KOs) in the fourth round on the Davis-Hector Luis Garcia undercard January 7 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Showtime also streamed Mielnicki’s victory over Rosales on its YouTube channel.
Mielnicki, of Roseland, New Jersey, has won six straight fights since Philadelphia’s James Martin (9-3-1, 0 KOs) upset him by majority decision in an eight-rounder that took place in April 2021 at Shrine Auditorium & Exposition Center in Los Angeles.
Espadas (22-5, 15 KOs, 1 NC) was stopped in the fifth round of his last bout by Puerto Rican junior middleweight Xander Zayas. The highly touted Zayas (15-0, 10 KOs), who is also 20, dropped Espadas in the first round, four rounds before their eight-rounder was stopped August 13 at Resorts World Las Vegas.
Espadas, 32, had not lost inside the distance before Zayas beat him by technical knockout six months ago.

I'm interested to see if he can take Garcia's power. Garcia has fast hands and he can probably do some serious damage if he can tag Tank with a counter he doesn't see coming

Romero perhaps the biggest 135er ever in the history of boxing.
Tank can be labelled many things. Ducker, hider, tmt puppet, wife beater, hit n run scumbag.
He can’t be accused of not having a chin that eats punches like they’re mosquitoes. He’s proven this in numerous fights, even at 140.
Last time I really seen tank get rocked hard was against barrios at 140, but he recovered fast

Tank got a decent chin but it’s a combination of things…he fights in a risk averse style with a high guard combined with his low punch output, and combined with him not fighting stiff hard punching competition may lead you to believe he got an iron chin. But in reality it just ain’t been tested.
People thought the same thing about Bronee until Maidana tapped that jaw.
Who knows if Garcia can tho because he sucks.

Risk averse?
Wtf ? He takes way too many shots . He takes shots so he can get inside with his midget arms.
You way off with that. Santa Cruz, Barrios, Gamboa, Cruz, ROMERO all got power.
Do you watch boxing aside from big fights?
And I’m not even a Davis fan like that. Just facts.

Low punch output = risk averse boxing to me. It’s way easier to catch a punch when you are being defensive..If you have a decent work rate you will win rounds of Davis.
And Davis don’t take a shot get a shot..he is not that type of walk you down pincher..that’s more like a Spence or Matias who I would describe who does that. Davis it moreso a defensive counterpuncher by far. Counterpunchers dnt take shots to give one. Davis is more Canelo-esque in his defensive approach.
He takes way too many shots against who…Santa Cruz…how can you say I only watch big fights when u said blown up Santa Cruz, Barrios, blown up 1 leg Gamboa got power.
With Romero he was literally playing it risk averse and waiting on the counter-punch. And Rolly wasn’t dragged up to 135 and was so he played it on the outside waiting to get that counter in.
Y’all some pretentious ass boxing fans, u gne question my boxing knowledge while saying that Santa Cruz and Cruz got power at that weight they fought Davis at
..better to be a casual then.Y’all drink the Kool-aid from the promoters and matchmakers…Yea Davis is good talent but he beat who he was suppose to beat and this fight at 136 dont change anything at the top of 135-140 divisions.

So which fighters have more power at 135 compared to who he has fought? Let me know? We already know what you’re going to say. You’re all over it.Low punch output = risk averse boxing to me. It’s way easier to catch a punch when you are being defensive..If you have a decent work rate you will win rounds of Davis.

I could give two fukks about Davis, all I know is he takes shots, too many, he’s already showing signs of cte and speech impediment.
Are we really going to use a natural 147-154 champion to compare here? Really? That’s like comparing a go kart and a corvette. And yes, Davis ends 90% of his fights walking opponents down when they’ve got picked off as the rounds have ticked over. Not every one is Spence in how they walk down. In fact, nobody is. That’s a rare combination of energy system awareness, punch output/expenditure and tight guard. You wanna mention high guard like you did earlier? That’s a better example right there.
You’ve named one fight where Davis waited for the safe counter, the Romero fight.
fukk the Kool aid. I just know that that little man can take shots. Proved it again and again.
