King Ryan Garcia and Gervonta “Tank” Davis finally settled their beef in an action-packed fight in Las Vegas.

Billed as the biggest fight of the year, both Garcia and Davis came into the fight with undefeated streaks and notorious knockout power.

The first round was more of a feeling-out process as both Garcia and Davis took a more cautious approach to the round. Garcia looked to use his reach advantage to land the jab, which proved to be the only significant shot of the first round.

Round 2

Many expected the second round to follow the first, but Garcia came out swinging and landed a few big shots on Davis. Tank was forced to hold onto his opponent early in the second and was warned by the referee. Garcia managed to cut off the ring but got overconfident and was dropped by an overhand left hook by Davis. It was only the second time in Garcia’s career that he was dropped.
