Promoters of Davis and Garcia staged a verbal sparring

Bye Gervonta Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) and Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) wrap up their last media week before going into the ring against each other this coming weekend in Las Vegas, their promoters having a heated verbal brawl. So, for example, Oscar De La Hoya accused the opposing team of being too protective of his ward, and Leonard Ellerbee did not remain indebted to the Golden Boy.

“As someone who has spent most of his life in the ring, I know what it takes to perform at the highest level. I look at Ryan and his team and I know they are ready. Gervonta is also ready. But when I look at the behavior of his team, I no longer feel this confidence, ”said De La Hoya.

“Contractual weight limits, second weigh-in arrangements, afternoon weigh-ins, all these minor requirements point to uncertainty about your fighter. Why would his team do this? I think they are afraid that Gervonta will lose. When you are a boxer, there is nothing worse than when your team does not believe in you, ”added the former champion in six weight categories.

“Enough talking. It's time to meet face to face on Saturday. This will be the biggest fight in this sport. As for Oscar's comments, firstly, we believe in Gervonta a thousand percent. As for himself, he is not in the position to tell us anything. We are the A side, and this is how we should do it, ”Leonard Ellerby answered this.

“For many years you were nobody, we destroyed all your boxers, Floyd smashed them to smithereens. Saturday's fight will be no exception. Davis will win by knockout, as I said," Ellerbee added.

"You're a damn clown. Have you forgotten how you made Floyd fight at 154 pounds? Then, in turn, you demanded the same from Pacquiao. But does it make any sense given our previous comments? I'm not the one to joke with. To this day, I am glad that Floyd won, it was the most important fight of his career. Floyd and I still hate Oscar. Business is business, but we just don't like this bastard," Ellerby summed up the topic.
