Boxing Live Update: Prior to their matchup this weekend, Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis squared off in the last press conference on Thursday.
Davis was forewarned by Garcia, “I’m ready to do what I do.”
Garcia said he could knock out his opponent with one blow, and “Tank” Davis said, “I only need one too.
“I swear to you, I’ll smash your jaw!”
Davis is certain that he is the better combatant. He stated of Garcia, “He doesn’t have the fundamentals at all. “His only strategy is a hook.
“No defence, nothing, no movement of the feet, nothing.
“He doesn’t have anything.”
A rehydration clause prevents them from weighing more than 10 pounds over their catchweight of 136 pounds on the morning of the fight.
After they clashed, Garcia pointed at Davis and said, “You looked exhausted.”
Davis’ crew was criticised by his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, for these legal obligations.
“When I look at Ryan, I can see he’s prepared. My team sees that Ryan is prepared when I glance at them. I observe “Tank,” and he appears to be prepared,” remarked De La Hoya. “But, after observing Tank’s team’s behaviour throughout the entire promotion, I find myself questioning whether they genuinely believe this man is capable.
“Late-afternoon weigh-ins with catchweights and rehydration requirements. All of these petty demands indicate a team that prioritises the safety of its fighter.
“And why would they defend their warrior unless they believed he might not be prepared for this situation? I firmly believe that Tank’s team is concerned about his chances of failing.”
Leonard Ellerbe, Davis’ promoter, retorted violently.
Like I’ve been saying, “Tank” Davis by KO, albeit it might still be early. “First and foremost, we have complete faith in Tank.
“In this situation, we have been the A-side, and that is how the A-side conducts themselves.”
Calvin, Davis’ trainer, added: “Oscar shooting shots. On the A-side, you know how things are. It will happen Saturday night, so be ready.
“We’re going to crack someone’s knuckles. I do not prepare him for knockout fights. I prepare him for discipline. You should feel it, please. Via you, I’m delivering a message to every one of them.”
