Sport Correspondent Excited about Las Vegas Superfight , which resulted in one less unbeaten star in the boxing industry.
Huge excitement in the States Despite the disgusting «trend» of world boxing to distance undefeated champions from each other (it is unlikely that we will see the battle of our Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev — I can't believe in the poster Alexander Usik VS Tyson Fury) popular boxers from the USA «King» Ryan Garcia and the controversial Gervonta «Tank» Davis decided not to support the «unsportsmanlike» flash mob. Undefeated guys with 51 victories and 45 knockouts for two finally got into a fight! One was promoted by social networks, the second was promoted by Floyd Mayweather Jr., which is great. After all, both athletes are one of the most talented representatives of boxing #right now.
At the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas, fans witnessed an uncompromising felling, after which it is even a little sad: how I wish this show would go on and on … But the point is set. There is no sense in revenge (at the moment — for sure).
The jaw is holding. But what about the liver? Favorite Davis expectedly chose the tactic to act as number two. And if you haven't watched Tank's fights before, it might seem to you that Ryan has a chance in this fight. The underdog seized the center of the ring and began to chase Gervonta, forcing him to defend himself and stay away from the long arms of a tall opponent.
However, at some point, Garcia began to play. The number of punches he threw was nothing compared to the quality of Davis's attacks, and the second-round uppercut proved it. The punch hit right in the head, no block — the King flew to the canvas, but recovered from the knockdown and continued the fight.
Garcia's ardor visibly subsided. Floyd, Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao, sitting in the front rows, watched a close confrontation in which one single mistake could decide everything. This is what happened in the seventh round: Garcia recklessly throws a combination without closing the body with his right hand. It is in the liver that the «response» arrives — Ryan begins to back away, a grimace of pain is reflected on his face … The boxer drops to his knee and cannot rise. So «zero» disappeared forever from King Ray's record.
And 28-0 turned into 29-0.
Will we see Tank on the boxing front again? In two weeks, today's victor will again listen to the judge's verdict. True, no one will raise his hand to him: on May 5, Gervonta will not stand in the T-Mobile arena, but in the courthouse. And no, it's not at all about the beating of a girlfriend, which the sports media wrote about at the end of 2022.
Three years ago, Davis showed his worst side on the road. His luxurious Lamborghini ran a red light, then crashed into a car that was driving according to the rules. Four people were injured in the crash, including a pregnant woman. But the police officers who arrived at the scene of the accident did not find the culprit of the incident, because the eminent boxer … Escaped. Even though Davis paid damages for the treatment of three of the four victims, aggravating circumstances — a wagon and a small cart. That's why fans (and promoters) of Tank, who can «sit down» for seven years, are so excited.
But today, the undefeated American will definitely not remember the upcoming trial. And enjoy the main victory in his career.
