Davis does not rule out the possibility of scoring a stoppage win in the early rounds.
“Make sure you come early and get your popcorn or whatever you want to get, because this is gonna be an early night for sure," Davis said.
At the moment, Davis is going through a tough training camp with head coach Calvin Ford.
“I’m feeling great. Everything is about staying completely focused on the task, because I know I have a challenge in front of me on April 22," Davis said.
“Me and coach Calvin have been doing this for so long, he’s a major key to my success over the years. I’d be nowhere without him, so I always keep him close to me. Ryan is gonna have to show me that he has more than just a left hook. I’m gonna be on point that night because I’m getting ready for the best Ryan Garcia. I just don’t feel that he’s a complete fighter and come April 22 I’m gonna show him.
Davis is not alone in an early knockout prediction.
In several interviews, Garcia has made predictions of a knockout victory in only two rounds.
“This win would mean a lot. Beating someone young, explosive and in their prime says a lot. I feel like this fight is big for the sport. We’re drawing in a lot of people and a win on that night is really like winning a world title again," Davis said.
“This is gonna be spectacular. It’s gonna be two young guys who are hungry. I think he’s trying to hype himself to get into the fight when he talks about knocking me out in two rounds. I don’t think he really believes that."
