Ryan Garcia Names Surprise Winner in Potential Rematch: "I've Learned A Lot"

Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson might face off in a lightweight unification bout. Boxing fans are eager to see these two undefeated champions step into the ring together.

Davis, known as "Tank," holds the WBA lightweight title and boasts an impressive 30-0 record with 28 knockouts. He's earned a reputation as a powerful puncher and is considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.

Stevenson, the WBC lightweight champion, is also undefeated and known for his highly skilled, defensive style. However, he's faced some criticism from fans for his cautious approach in his last two fights.

The potential match-up has got people talking about the clash of styles. Davis' knockout power would be up against Stevenson's defensive prowess, with both the WBA and WBC belts on the line.

Davis doesn't seem too worried about the prospect of facing Stevenson. In an interview with Cigar Talk, he dismissed the idea that Stevenson would be his toughest opponent:

"Hell no that's not my hardest fight. Why would it be? Show me something that he did spectacular, show me something that he did outrageous, show me. His power is not outrageous."

Davis even claimed he had the upper hand in a previous sparring session, saying he touched Stevenson with 16 oz gloves and Stevenson ran. He predicted the fight would be "easy work" for him.

Ryan Garcia, who's currently serving a ban due to a positive test, agrees with Davis. He tweeted on April 27, 2024: "Gervonta beats shakur". Garcia's opinion might carry some weight, as he faced Davis in the ring and was knocked out by a body shot, though he later complained about a rehydration clause affecting his performance.

The fight has moved a step closer to reality recently. Vasiliy Lomachenko, the IBF champion, pulled out of negotiations with Davis, saying he wasn't ready to return to the ring this year. This development has opened the door for a Davis-Stevenson showdown.

As talks continue, boxing fans will keep a close eye on these two undefeated champions. Will Davis' power prove too much for Stevenson's defense? Or will Stevenson's skill neutralize Davis' knockout threat? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - this fight has the potential to be one of the most exciting in boxing.
