All eyes were on Chris Colbert last winter when he entered the ring at Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas for a tween lightweight knockout with Hector Luis Garcia. This is not only an undefeated boxer, but also a man who was supposed to go up against Roger Gutierrez for the WBA junior lightweight title that night. However, Gutierrez failed with Covid, which left Colbert facing the well-known Garcia. At first glance, the match looked like it would be easy for Colbert. However, the match was clearly not easy for the undefeated Colbert. In fact, he lost to Garcia in what could be the biggest sadness of 2022.
Now all eyes will be on Gervonta “Tank” Davis this weekend in what is essentially a match-up for the multi-division roster. However, if Davis were a student of recent history, he would take the match seriously, as his opponent will be none other than Hector Luis Garcia, who defeated Colbert a few days ago. full one year. With a super fight with Ryan Garcia coming up, Davis could easily see this Saturday night’s game as no big deal. That is definitely not the case.
Davis’ thunderous punch and quick fist are rightly prioritized to win this weekend’s bout, which will be the main event of the Pay Per View card during showtime. After all, Davis, 28, 27-0 will fight in front of a hometown crowd at Capitol One Arena in Washington. Furthermore, Davis has competed in ten titles over the past six years, beating the likes of Mario Barrios, Leo Santa Cruz and Yuriorkis Gamboa. On top of that, only two of his 27 wins have been away. In short, Davis is nothing if not a talented and dangerous man.
However, Garcia 19-0-3 was also undefeated. And the fight with Chris Colbert showed that he can pass the time. Furthermore, after the match against Colbert, Garcia went on to win the WBA junior lightweight championship from Roger Gutierrez about six months later. Like Davis, Garcia is a male-dominant hand that can’t be played well. Garcia is also experienced enough to hit and hold and cut the opponent’s penalty area effectively. Perhaps most importantly, Garcia is in top form and clearly believes in himself. Then again, he’ll be up against the likes of Davis this weekend.
