Boxing Icon Floyd Mayweather Predicts Brutal KO in Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia Bout

• Gervonta Davis will face bitter rival Ryan Garcia in a catchweight bout on April 22
• Both Davis and Garcia will need to weigh 136 pounds or less during the weigh-in
•  Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has weighed in on the much-anticipated bout

The highly anticipated 12-round lightweight contest between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia will take place on Saturday, April 22.

The two superstars have undefeated records and have been anticipating their matchup for a while.

After plenty of back and fourth, both Americans are now ready to face off inside the ring at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Davis, affectionately known as ‘Tank’, has recorded 28 victories of his professional bouts to date and saw off Hector Garcia in January.

Meanwhile, Garcia has claimed 23 victories in a row and beat Javier Fortuna last summer.

Ahead of the much-anticipated super fight, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has been speaking to Fight Hype, via BT Sports, and he gave a prediction, saying:

“We can fight in 90 days if you want. Whatever you wanna do, he’s gonna get smoked. I’m gonna have Tank in the best shape of his life. Just know when he hit that boy he ain’t gonna wake up until next year.”

Davis' team introduces rehydration clause

Sports Brief earlier reported that Ryan Garcia agreed to that stipulation and thought the deal was finally sealed. Gervonta Davis’ team threw another surprise, inserting a rehydration clause for Garcia to follow.

Usually, in boxing, once the fighter makes the weight limit during the weigh-in, his focus switches to the fight. That isn’t the case for Garcia, who must watch his intake before the fight, with Davis’ team introducing a 10-pound rehydration clause.

That means if Garcia weighs 136 pounds during the weigh-in, he needs to enter the fight weighing 146 pounds or less. If he goes over the 146-pound limit, the fight is off.
