Hector Luis Garcia is one of the hottest boxers in the world going to fight Gervonta Davis on January 7 in Washington, D.C.
The Dominican boxer stunned the boxing world by defeating then-undefeated Chris Colbert last February and then doing the same against Roger Gutierrez to win the 130-pound belt in August.
He’s a Warrior of the Year nominee. And then the talented Davis put him in his place.
The “tank” takes down Garcia, knocking him out with an increasing number of punitive blows to the head and body, then force him to quit his job on the stool after eight rounds of a scheduled 12-round 135-pound bout near Davis’ hometown of Baltimore.
As they say, boxing has many levels. Garcia fights at a high level, Davis is somewhere in the stratosphere.
The win is particularly important as it sets up a much-anticipated showdown with social media star and talented boxer Ryan Garcia on April 15 in Las Vegas, although the deal has yet to be finalized. .
Ryan Garcia is perhaps Davis’s toughest opponent to date. However, Davis (28-0.26 KOs) was prioritized to win the 136-pound catch for performances like his overwhelming win over Hector Garcia.
