Weights: Gervonta Davis 135.1-Pounds, Ryan Garcia 135.5-Pounds

LAS VEGAS – One weigh-in down for Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia, one more to go.

Davis and Garcia both came in below their much-discussed contracted catch weight of 136 pounds Friday afternoon for their high-profile 12-round fight Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena. Baltimore’s Davis stepped on the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s scale at 135¼ pounds, whereas Garcia got on it only slightly heavier, at 135½ pounds.

Davis and Garcia jawed at each other on stage until Davis lightly pushed Garcia and they were separated.

Both boxers must now come in at 146 pounds or less at a second-day weigh-in scheduled for 11 a.m. PDT on Saturday morning. Unlike their weigh-in Friday, which drew a large crowd outside of T-Mobile Arena, their second weigh-in won’t be open to the public.

The results of it will draw interest, however, because the second weigh-in for their non-title fight is considered an advantage for Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) because Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) won’t be able to put on as much weight immediately after their weigh-in Friday as he would have preferred. Garcia agreed to the catch weight and rehydration restrictions because he desperately wanted to face Davis in what is by far the biggest fight of his career.

The 24-year-old Garcia, of Victorville, California, officially weighed 140 pounds for his last fight, a sixth-round knockout of the Dominican Republic’s Javier Fortuna (37-4-1, 26 KOs, 2 NC) on July 16 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

The 28-year-old Davis fought at the 140-pound limit once, when he knocked out former WBA super lightweight champ Mario Barrios (27-2, 18 KOs) in the 11th round of their June 2021 bout at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Each of Davis’ three fights thereafter were contested at the lightweight limit of 135 pounds, though.

The official weights for the Davis-Garcia undercard bouts are listed below.

Im legit shocked at how many people think Garcia can win this fight

gracia has so many holes in his game.

This should be easy work for Davis, the skill gap is huge.

I think it's wishful thinking or for sheer fxckkery reasons.

I can't imagine they're actually putting money up on Ryan for real.

I've spoken to ppl who picked Ryan but haven't met anyone who bet on him.
