By Dan Ambrose: Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis is anxious that his opponent for Saturday, undefeated Hector Luis Garcia, needs to knock him off the highest of the hill and take his spot as the following large star within the sport.
Garcia (16-0, 10 KOs) has already put a damper on the once-promising careers of Chris Colbert and Roger Gutierrez. Now, he’ll be trying to do the identical factor to the favored former Mayweather-promoted Gervonta (27-0, 25 KOs) this Saturday, January seventh, on Showtime PPV on the Capital One Area in Washington, D.C.
Regardless of successful 27 consecutive fights since turning skilled ten years in the past, the 28-year-old Tank Davis has proven vulnerability in current fights in his defensive talent. Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, and Leo Santa Cruz had been all in a position to put palms on Tank and mark him up earlier than they had been crushed.
Even Mario Barrios had Tank wanting in dire straights. Issues had been so dangerous for Gervonta that his former promoter Floyd Mayweather Jr needed to climb up on the ring apron and provides him a ‘win one for the previous Gipper’ to get him to rally.
“I ain’t going to lie. He appears a bit of hungry,” stated Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis to Showtime about his opponent for Saturday, Hector Luis Garcia. “Lots of people overlook him, however I ain’t attempting to miss him.”
It could be a good suggestion for Tank Davis to not overlook the 2016 Olympian Hector Garcia as a result of he’s much more polished than the fighters he’s been dealing with currently.
Floyd has been spoon-feeding Gervonta by matching him towards fading guys and the dreadfully poor novice Rolly Romero.
Due to the gentle match-making that Mayweather has completed, we don’t understand how good Tank Davis is as a result of he hasn’t fought any elite or A-level opponents. It’s been all smoke & mirrors.
Whenever you get a promoter trying to defend their fighter as Floyd did with Gervonta, you get a man with an inflated 27-0 document.
“He appears like he’s prepared. And it could possibly be a life-changer for him,” stated Tank Davis about Hector Garcia. “You understand what I imply? He needs to take my spot. So, I’m positively not wanting previous him. I’m in an actual combat. January 7 goes to be a loopy evening.”
We all know Tank Davis will lose ultimately as a result of he will get hit too simply, however the large query is will or not it’s this Saturday evening?
