The eyes of the boxing world were recently fixated on the mouthwatering clash between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia. Officially, after years of back and forth theatrics, the two wildly popular fighters squared off last weekend at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Unfiltered and believing wholeheartedly in his skills, Garcia (23-1, 19 KOs) was given a violent wake-up call. Following a strong opening round, the 24-year-old was unable to keep up his momentum. In the second, Garcia planted his feet and fired off three consecutive combinations. But while it appeared as though he had Davis on the run, the secondary lightweight titlist uncorked a massive left hand, immediately flooring his man.

Despite kissing the canvas, Garcia peeled himself up off the deck and continued to battle. Still, in spite of his willingness to carry on, he was brutally stopped thanks to a Davis body blow in the seventh. Smiling from ear to ear, Davis pranced around the ring, as he marveled at his handiwork.

Although the arena was packed to the brim with countless stars, even some of the sport's biggest names were unable to attend. Subriel Matias, a recently crowned IBF 140-pound titlist, snuggled into a comfortable seat in his palatial estate and took in the sights. As Davis continued to hammer Garcia around the ring, Matias nodded in approval.

Having officially placed an end to his rivalry with Garcia, Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) will soon be on the hunt for another opponent. Although they currently fight in different weight classes, Davis did make the trek five pounds north in 2021 to take on Mario Barrios. In doing so, Davis nabbed the WBA “regular” super lightweight title by becoming the first man to stop Barrios in their encounter.

Considering that Davis is now in need of fresh meat, Matias (19-1, 19 KOs) would not only thoroughly enjoy facing the pound-for-pound star but more than anything, the Puerto Rican native believes that he has the overall skills to taint Davis’ record.

“Congrats champ,” said Matias on his social media account. “I would love to take your zero and add it to my knockout percentage.”
