Ryan Garcia has disregarded Gervonta Davis’ punching strength despite experiencing a knockout defeat at his hands. The renowned boxer recently revealed that he has signed a contract to make his comeback on April 20th against an undefeated champion. This fight has been a long time coming, with numerous failed negotiations with other fighters. Garcia’s last fight was in December, where he achieved a stunning knockout victory. This fight against Duarte marked his return after his initial loss as a professional. Garcia and Davis faced off in April 2023 in Las Vegas, which turned out to be the most significant Pay-Per-View event of the year. Although Garcia had a strong start in the first round, Davis dominated the remainder of the fight. In a recent interview, Garcia spoke about his bout with Davis, expressing his thoughts on Davis’ punching power and commending his accuracy. Despite dismissing Davis’ punching strength, Garcia recognized his opponent’s skills and precision. Garcia also acknowledged that Davis’ punches are difficult to anticipate, which explains their impact. Following his loss to Davis last year, Garcia immediately began calling for a rematch. However, due to the mismatch in their previous fight, these requests were ignored. The upcoming fight between Haney and Garcia could potentially lead to a rematch with Davis. However, Garcia must first defeat the undefeated WBC super-lightweight champion for this to be possible. In a recent interview, Garcia reiterated his desire for a rematch with Davis, emphasizing that there should be no weight clause in their contract this time. Garcia believes that the weight clause in their previous fight contributed to his loss against Davis. Therefore, Garcia has announced his intention to fight Davis again in the 140-pound division, without any weight or reinforcement restrictions.
