"I give Ryan Garcia a shot in this fight, for sure," Hearn told the DAZN Boxing Show, via Marca. "But if you ask me who wins, I say Tank Davis."

While Hearn ceded that Davis loses rounds, he wears down his opponents.

"He's got that pressure; he hits so hard, you can't disconnect against him."

The two touted American stars Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) and Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) have been building up their bout for the better parts of the last three years.
