Between his strength shocking earth and the main attractive charm of Gervont “Tank” Davis “Davis” claims that he is the current face of boxing with significant merits. He turned out to be a “cash” along with the fight with Ryan Garcia in 2023, which currently sits as the fifth largest gate in the history of boxing in the USA.
30-year-old Davis, the current WBA master, is a champion of three divisions who got into the ranks, proud of a unique 93% factor of winning. After starting his career as the protected Floyd Mayweather “Tank”, he broke out, packing arenas in the United States and leaving a trace of destruction behind him. It is a proven attraction-per-view next to Canelo Alvarez, but Davis has more attractive options for future megafights.
Before Saturday’s title defense against Lamont Roach Jr. At Barclays Center, Brooklyn, Up-to-date York (20.00 et, Prime Video PPV), we look at the best performances of Davis’s “Tank”, which helped shape his career, including his demolition of Garcia, his memorable Uppercut to end the fight with Leo Santa Cruz and others.
April 22, 2023 – KO7 vs. Ryan Garcia
The huge clash of two juvenile knockout artists was a huge cash success (reported 1.2 million wage purchases and goals from over $ 22 million), which push Davis and Canelo in a conversation of “Facial of boxing” after winning him in the seventh round. Entering a very anticipated fight, Davis and Garcia finished 88% of their opponents and very few expected that this fight would need the opinion of the judge, and they both promise to end it in 12 rounds.
Garcia started quickly, entering the gas and shooting Davis from the opening bell, landing 10 out of 53 blows in the first two rounds, when Davis was patiently waiting for opening. He found him with just over a minute in round 2 and drilled a pot with a blade of left hand, which sank him on the canvas. It was the first Power Punch Davis that landed in battle, and Davis showed extraordinary patience against his opponent. Garcia got up and continued to fight Davis during the next four rounds. In the 7th round, Davis delivered straight into the body, which almost no one saw in the arena, but certainly felt one Garcia. The delayed reaction meant that Garcia sank to his knee and he was immediately counted.
Throughout his bravado before the fight, Davis surprisingly admitted that he was padlica in the fight against Garcia.
“I was nervous,” said Davis. “Only I see how he knocked out so many people. I see so many people in the gym. I see him knock out so many people on the clips. “
But this time Garcia would not get it. Instead, Davis stood high before the crowd of 20,842 fans on T-Mobile Arena.
October 31, 2020 – KO6 vs. Leo Santa Cruz
In the perspective, it was Davis’s first real career test. He entered the ring with the four champion, who was an extremely busy puncher and could give notoriously economic Davis, the longer she fought. Not to mention that Santa Cruz turned out to be extremely strong throughout her career, he was never knocked down in 39 fights. This changed when he met Davis, and the world realized how true Davis’s power was.
As expected, Santa Cruz was occupied from the opening bell, throwing 241 blows to Davis 160 to four rounds. Santa Cruz was overtaken on the results cards in three rounds, but Davis was getting closer to landing. Santa Cruz never withdrew and forced Davis to fire, absorbing the punishment while withdrawing his own.
In the sixth round Davis probably landed with the most violent blow in his career. 30 seconds left in the round, Davis had Santa Cruz back at an angle. Santa Cruz fired a trio of right hands, the last of which Davis perfectly signed up, immersing herself under and releasing the cruel left upper mountain results. The lights were turned off for Santa Cruz before his body crashed into canvas in a terrifying scene. Nokaut catapulted Davis to fame and strengthened him as one of the most talented juvenile talents in all boxing.
June 15, 2024 – KO8 vs. Frank Martin
Martin was the fourth in a row of the invincible warrior Davis. Although Martin did not have the same value as other potential opponents of Davis and was seen as a high risk option and a low reward that Garcia Nokaut won.
Once again Davis was leisurely and lost each of the first three rounds on the cards of the results of judges. Martin consistently won the exchange with Davis, while directing the power of the Baltimore warrior. However, in the fourth round Davis began to close the distance and land with his fertile power beats. It was an impressive demonstration of Davis’ patience, who gave Martin a false sense of security, standing in front of him during the exchange and establishing another powerful sequence that led to his 28th victory.
“I knew he was going to get tired,” said Davis later. “That’s what I did. Stand there, or the goal, so that he can get tired, and when he got tired, I started to separate him. “
In the eighth round, Davis imprisoned Martin in the corner and stunned the “spirit” with the upper left. Martin went out on his feet, but the wicked straight left on the left side of Davis was an exclamation mark of another unforgettable combat sequence.
December 5, 2021 – UD12 vs. Isaac Cruz
The only fight on this list that did not end at a distance is for a reason.
Davis originally faced Rolando Romero. But when Romero was pulled out of the fight because of the allegations of sexual assault (later closed without accusations) two weeks before the fight, Davis decided to keep the date against the replacement opponent. Cruz wore a very miniature value of the name as a substitute, but he was invincible in 18 consecutive fights, including victory over Diego Magdaleno and Francisco Vargas. Davis was a significant favorite to win the fight, but he never materialized because of the hand injury during the fight, and Cruz was definitely more tough than expected.
Davis was forced to issue boxing skills and reject Cruz’s body attack, who pressed Davis from the opening bell in an affair, which he won in the next unanimous decision. For the first time, fans had the opportunity to see how Davis fights mainly with the back foot and set the meters, not a knockout. Cruz was tenacious, but Davis boxed beautifully, at least with one hand in the second half of the fight, before he did enough to get the winning results 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112.
Since then, Davis has not gone at a distance.
January 14, 2017 – WHO7 vs. Jose Pedraz
Davis went through an unclear opposition until that point in his career with a 16-0 record, and all of them came through a knockout. Although impressive, there were questions about how good Davis would be against the opponent of the high caliber. Davis had the opportunity to prove that the junior champion of the younger champion IBF Pedraza and passed the test with flying colors.
Pedraza floated in his career and wanted to do the third defense of the free title, which he won against Andrey Klimov 18 months earlier. Davis entered the fight as Underdog, but turned these plants upside down with a huge opening round, in which Puerto Rican took over the hooks and mountains, which Pedraza swayed many times. Against the higher Pedraz, Davis managed to routinely land on the upper result and present a brilliant arrangement of time and internship. Pedraza began to claw back to the fight, but Davis settled in the zone and patiently waited for opening to free himself with destructive power.
This moment occurred in the seventh round, when Davis uncovered the cruel right hook, which Pedraza almost sent from the ring. Pedraza defeated the count, but he was unable to continue, because Davis won his first critical world title and established himself as a future star in sport.

Taylor (19-2, 13 KO) enters the battle with great pressure after two plain paralysis in 140. He looked terrible in losses with Jacek Cattell and Teofimo Lopez.

Taylor vs. Essuman Fight
Tartan Tornado Taylor wants to show fans that he is not washed at the age of 34. His purpose of moving to a welterweight is to become a world champion with two divisions and involvement in immense fights in the division. He must look great against Essuman (21-1, 8 KO) today to show the boxing world that he did not finish as a warrior. Taylor occupies No. 11 WBC and #11 WBO in a welterweight.
Today’s card
Josh Taylor vs. Ekow Essuman Nathaniel Collins vs. Lee McGregor Moses Itauma vs. Mike Balogun Aloys Junior vs. Davie Jamieson Luke McCormack vs. Samir Cuentas Alex Arthur Jr. vs. Robbie Chapman Drew limond vs. Ezequiel Gregoz
Along with the advanced age of Taylor, there is no other way but start to immediately take the most hazardous rivals and often fight if he is to shoot the title of the world. He cannot afford to stick to his schedule once a year, and he will get elderly if he continues to fight a welterweight, such as Essuman.
For Essuman, 36 years elderly, this is a great opportunity to put in a welterweight landscape to commit a great fight before the end of his career. This can open the door to fight other pretenders if he manages to defeat Taylor. Ekow will not get the title shot with the victory over Taylin, but he could fight pretenders such as Karen Chukhadzhian or Lewis Crocker.
Taylor’s path forward
“It’s a hazardous fight. Ekow is not the most hazardous guy in the world, but he can fight, and he is really functional, challenging and stubborn,” said commentator Carl Frampton Boxing DAZNTalking about what Josh Taylor has tonight with Ekow Essuman.
“For the first time, dipping your fingers at the foot in welterweight, you could probably apologize to Josh to get an easier fight.”
Canelo Alvarez confirmed that his fight against Terenka Crawford will be in Las Vegas on September 13. He says that they are still “working” at the fight at the Allegiant stadium.
Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO) states that Las Vegas is an ideal place for his clash with Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) because it is perfect for the Mexican Independence Day. It was said that southern California or Texas are two other options for issuing the Canelo-Crawford fight, but it looks like this is happening.
The 40-Iiss Crawford will basically boost from a welterweight, three divisions to challenge Canelo, 35-year-old for his unquestioned medium championship. One of the marketing points to fight is that it allows Crawford to become three unquestioned champion.
It is doubtful that anyone cares about it except for Stat Fans who focus on the discs. Ordinary fans just want to see a good fight between high quality, eminent warriors. It would lend a hand if Crawford came to 168 and took David Benavidez to get the fight with Canelo instead of giving him on the silver plate of Turki Alalshikhh.
Stadium allegiant: Place update
“We are still working on it, but we will make sure that everything is the best,” said Canelo Alvarez to media Asked if the Allegian stadium in Las Vegas is still being considered for his fight against Terenka Crawford on September 13.
Canelo vs. staging Crawford makes sense for Las Vegas because it uses a fans base of the Mexican star from California, Nevada and Texas. Organizing a fight at the Allegiant stadium would be perfect to have a enormous crowd to accommodate fans who are intriguing this fight at the level of fresh products.
“It’s a fight that people should enjoy in Las Vegas.” Asked where the fight would be staged, Canelo said: “Vegas. Yes, of course. In Vegas there is no better weekend than the Mexican Independence Day.”
The fight in Riyadh will hurt interest because of time and can be challenging for Canelo aging. In his last fight he looked infernal, trying to defeat William Scull on May 3 in Saudi Arabia. 35 -year -old Alvarez looked at any age, and then a bit. I don’t know if we can blame him with needy Canelo results, fighting in another time zone in Riyadh, because it looked more like he showed signs of being over the hill.
If you take the 27-year-old version of Canelo, which for the first time fought Gennadiy Golovkin in 2017 against SCULL in May last year, would probably destroy the Cuban. Unfortunately, for Alvarez he is not fighting so much and he was lucky that Scull did not show much aggression because he would probably lose.
Canelo explains the form of riyadh
“It was of course a fresh experience. Everything was completely different for me, fighting in the morning than at night. It is challenging. Your body feels rejected. You feel confused, but it is part of this experience,” said Canelo, explaining why he did not play well, fighting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, against William Scull at another time in North America.
Pay attention to excuses from Canelo? He doesn’t want to admit that he is getting vintage and he can’t even deal with shy, defective warriors like Scull. Let’s explain this: Canelo did not fight Scull because of the time zone. He had problems because he is no longer a spring chicken-it’s the same for 38-year-old Crawford. Both are relics from the past era
In his last fight with Israil, Madrimov looked fatysmal, he looked on August 3, and then seemed mentally unaware, saying that he was “Beating him throughout the fight.” Crawford even rejected the power of “Little GGG” Madrimov, saying to the media that “nothing I have never seen before.”
It was challenging to see how Crawford seriously bruised from his face and more marked than any fight on his 17-wave card. He looked as if the trailer had driven him, and yet he disregarded Madrimov’s power after the fight. However, Turki Alalshikh still wanted to apply Crawford to fight Canelo, not adolescent talents such as David Benavidez. I would never give Crawford another thought after Madrimov’s fight if it were me.
“I am glad that I have achieved one of my dreams to fight outside the USA or Mexico. Very good. I am really content working with him,” said Canelo about my thoughts about working with Turka Alalshikh.
I can imagine Canelo’s happiness works with Turki. It is said to get $ 150 million In the case of a fantasy level circus with Crawford. I would also be content, fighting with a 40-pins in welterweight instead of making money on the cake fighting David Benavidez.
Tyson Fury said that he was not in a hurry to return to sport and that he was going to remain retired, hoping that he would agree to fight Anthony Joshua.
The 36-year-old Fury announced his last boxing retirement in January after defeats with Oleksandr Usyk.
However, this was not the first time he called his career, which led to speculation that he could return to the ring again for a lucrative fight with Joshua.
“The Gypsy King” suggested a possible return on many occasions, including last month in which he published a film about himself at the gym with coach Sugarhill Steward and said “You know what is coming.”
“I hear a lot of conversations about Gypsy King returning to boxing. Why would I return? More boxing belts? I won 22 of them,” he said. “… but I’m joyful, I’m joyful, joyful with what I achieved, what I achieved. I was around the world and came back.
“This is how a pension looks like a gypsy king. He is not too shabby. I was not in a hurry [to] boxing and fall in my face. What for? Why would I come back? I ask this question. So here we are. I am retired and I am retired. I have nothing to prove to anyone and nothing to return. “
