Davis added another highlight reel knockout to his collection in Las Vegas.
UNBEATEN GERVONTA DAVIS handed Ryan Garcia the first defeat of his career on Saturday, stopping the Californian with a paralyzing body shot in the seventh round of their marquee fight in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The knockout blow was blindingly fast as Davis took advantage of an advancing Garcia, landing another heavy left to Garcia’s ribcage. But the fight at a 136-pound catchweight, which headlined a pay-per-view card and drew an enthusiastic, celebrity-studded crowd to the T-Mobile Arena, lived up to the hype generated by the clash of unbeatens.
“It definitely matches the dream. But the job’s never done til I retire. So I’m going to keep my head down, stay humble and continue to work.”
