Gervonta Davis (28-0, 26 KO) 135.1 lbs. vs. Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KO) 135.5 lbs. (136 lbs. catch weight, non-title)
Both fighters were cheek to cheek and exchanged quick shoves during the face-off before being separated.
Gervonta Davis:
When asked about the issue with Hopkins, who is a co-promoter for Garcia at Golden Boy. “He’s talking about he’s ‘about that life,’ man, nobody’s worried about his old ass. He needs to sit back and let the young’uns do it.”
Davis predicted “Punishment and Knockout,”. “It’s gonna be crazy. Don’t blink your eyes, don’t get no popcorn, don’t get no drink, none of that. Just focus. It’s gonna be an incredible fight.”
Ryan Garcia:
“I feel good right now. I had breakfast in the morning, so I feel strong,”. “I don’t really know (about the shoving). I think him and Bernard (Hopkins) started getting into it, then it was just crazy. But I’m staying focused.
“I’m just ready to eat now. I’m focused, I don’t got much to say. My focus now is just on Gervonta Davis. I’m ready to destroy him, that’s it.”
