Gervonta Davis On Ryan Garcia-‘He’s Getting His Ass Whooped’
Gervonta Davis On Ryan Garcia-‘He’s Getting His Ass Whooped’
Coming up Saturday night in Las Vegas, unbeaten, multi-division world champ Gervonta “Tank” Davis gets set for the highest profile PPV of his career. This, as he battles fellow unbeaten Ryan Garcia in a highly anticipated twelve round showdown between two of boxing’s top drawing fighters in the smaller weight classes.
At Thursday’s final press conference for the bout at the T-Mobile Arena on the Vegas strip, Davis made clear he’s not coming into this one with any other motive than to demolish Garcia.

“Heās gonna feel me for sure. I am what I say I am. Iām that guy. I didnāt get all the way here for no reason. I put the work in and I got those guys out of there. Heās gonna see it come Saturday night for sure,” Davis told the media Thursday.
“āHeās getting his ass whooped. Itās gonna be an exciting fight. Iām excited to be here. I donāt know about him, but Iām coming with some stuff for sure. He doesnāt have the fundamentals at all. If Joe Goossen is that great of a trainer, heās gotta fix his fundamentals. All heās got is that weak hook. Thatās all heās relying on.
Heās delusional if he thinks heās knocking me out. Thatās it.ā
Davis has reason to be confident. He’s wiped out 24 opponents in 28 wins by KO. And, that includes one punch destructions of former two division champ Leo Santa Cruz in October 2020 and more recently, contender “Rolly” Romero last Summer. Davis also beat up Hector Luis Garcia (no relation to Ryan) in a TKO win back in January.
Hear our insider Dan Rafael, who’s live from Las Vegas for Davis-Garcia, give his insight into the Thursday presser and what he senses from both fighters on our “Big Fight Weekend Preview” Podcast by clicking below.
There is no doubt the popular Southern Californian Garcia (23-0), is confident of what he will do with the Baltimore native Davis, as well. He told the media Thursday,
āHeās gonna find out exactly why Iām here. You donāt get to this position without having something special. Anybody can see that. Weāll just have to wait and see when Iām in there. Heāll see it when Iām in there.”
But, there’s no disputing that Davis has been in with better overall competition and has been much more active over the last 24 months, by fighting four times to just twice for Garcia.
The wait is almost over to find out whether either fighter will land the big shot to get the other one out or if it’s all just been talk building to Saturday.
