    Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Vows: I Will Be That Next Pay-Per-View Star!

    BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, U.S.A. On Saturday night, January 14, 2017, undefeated professional boxer, Gervonta "Tank" Davis (Baltimore, Maryland) won his first world title by defeating IBF World Super Featherweight Champion, Jose Pedraza (Cidra, Puerto Rico). Davis-Pedraza was scheduled for 12 Rounds at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, live on SHOWTIME. At the beginning of Round 7, Davis went on an aggressive offensive attack that ended huge right hook that knocked down the champion. Pedraza made it to his feet, but Ricky Gonzalez stopped the fight at 2:36 of round 7. Davis improved to 17-0, 16 by KO, while Pedraza's record dropped to 22-1, with 12 KOs. Davis joined Joe Gans, Vincent Pettway, and Hasim Rahman as Baltimore's only boxing world champions. Davis, 22, became the youngest boxer from Baltimore to win a world title.

    Tough trick to pull for a 130 pounder, I think he could possibly do some work at 130 but getting beyond that it would be tricky for him due to lack of length.

    While he has a good style he doesn't have the mouth to really make the hard sell which is generally needed, although I suppose Floyd can bring in a lot of heat even though he is honestly pretty lame to listen to.


    Will be interesting to see where Davis goes though hopefully he fights some solid guys and is able to stay active on PBC.

      Not ready to fight the best, but ready to be a pay-per-view "star." Yup, this is a Floyd Mayweather-Al Haymon fighter alright.

        He could be tbh with his style. He is ****y, some of us want to see him lose and he comes to fight and show off. Id pay to see him and Verdejo go at it.

          He's already a star in my book. He made hard work look easy, Pedraza is no slouch. I just hope he leads a sane life, the spotlight is on him.

                  That word cherry pick is so overused in boxing.

                    He's got a lot of talent but to go big time PPV he'd have to go welter and he's way too small. Even at Lw there's top talent that dwarve him, like Garcia and Easter jr
