Gervonta Davis rocked Hector Luis Garcia with a hard left hand at the end of Round 8 and earned a TKO victory when Garcia couldn't come out for the ninth.
Davis was fighting for the first time since a sixth-round TKO victory over Rolly Romero in May. Davis, who denied the allegations, referred to the woman as the mother of his daughter. Davis was accused of fleeing the scene of an accident that involved four people, including a pregnant woman. The action resumed after nearly a minute, and when it did, Davis finally found the fight-ending punch he was looking for. The star boxer connected on a stinging counter right hand and a couple of lefts that caught Garcia's attention in a fast-paced fourth. "I was trying to trick him with my hands and my eyes and things like that because he's a tough fighter.
Davis clipped Garcia in Round 8 with a shot that affected his vision so much that Garcia did not come out for Round 9.
9 10 "There are a lot of bumps in the road but as long as we stay focused together, that's how I will make longevity in this sport." "He's a fighter and I know he didn't want to show it but he was hurt." When the fight restarted, Davis began to walk Garcia down with big left hands and appeared to briefly buckle him before the end of the round. But the action picked up considerably in Round 4 as the pair of southpaws traded big shots at close range.
By Adam Baskin: Gervonta 'Tank' Davis was surprisingly WAY ahead on all three of the judges' scorecards at the time of the ninth round stoppage of his.
“At the end of the [eighth] round, Gervonta Davis hit him a couple of times on the side of his head, and when he [Hector Luis Garcia] went back to his corner, he couldn’t see from the right eye. I was catching him with more cleaner shots,” said Gervonta when asked about his thoughts on the wide scores the three judges had for him through the eighth round. ‘I just can’t see from the right eye.’ He was blind by the shots Gervonta gave him in that round in the end. The reality is Hector was out-landing Gervonta, outboxing, and getting the better of him in most of the rounds. Interestingly, Gervonta (28-0, 26 KOs) seemed to be in denial after the fight, saying, “I don’t think it was close.” You hate to think that the ONLY reason that Tank was ahead by such wide scores in a fight that he should have been posting is because of his popularity.
