Gervonta Davis. vs Ryan Garcia: Betting Preview
Gervonta Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) enter this bout undefeated and considered one of the best fighter pound for pound. He is the WBA lightweight champion, but the title doesn’t mean anything in this fight. Davis is a powerful puncher with a devastating left hook. His heavy hands are his biggest weapon and they're the main reason why he's had so much success in the sport. 'Tank' brutally finished Leo Santa Cruz in 2020 with a hellacious uppercut. He battered Mario Barrios with four knockdowns before the referee waved the fight off in 2021, and obliterated Rolando Romero with a left hook in 2022.
Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) has finished 19 of the 23 foes he's faced, including Javier Fortuna in his most recent outing and Luke Campbell in 2021. That was his most difficult bout so far, as he got off the canvas in Round 2 but managed to win by TKO against the Englishman in Round 7 with a body shot that sent the former Olympic gold medalist into retirement. A subsequent wrist surgery and a mental health scare kept him idle for 16 months but 'King Ry' has returned in style. Speed is Garcia's biggest weapon, and if he can fire off jabs, move and use angles to set up his left hook, he can defeat 'Tank'.
This fight will be a clash of styles. 'Tank' is a power puncher who likes to come forward and fight on the inside while 'King Ryan' is a boxer who likes to use his speed and movement to stay on the outside.
Gervonta Davis is around 5-foot-5 with a 67.5-inch reach, and he will be giving up size to Ryan Garcia, who is 5-foot-10 with a 70-inch reach.
Davis is currently residing at 135 lbs (lightweight) but Garcia has moved up to 140 lbs (super lightweight) . The two will now meet at 136 lbs (catchweight).

Gervonta Davis. vs Ryan Garcia: Fight Prediction
Considering that both fighters are relatively young and have never faced an opponent quite like the individual they’ll be standing across from on April 22, it’s really difficult to figure out how this fight will play out.
They both employ similarly exciting styles that has led to 45 knockouts in a combined 51 wins between them.
Davis appears to have the defensive edge as Ryan Garcia has already been knocked down once in his career - against Luke Campbell in Round 2 of a WBC interim lightweight title bout in January 2021.
It will be a closely contested fight and we back Gervonta Davis to secure a knockout victory in the latter rounds.
