(Photo by Tom Hogan\/Golden Boy Promotions via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>On Nov. 17, both Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia took to social media to announce that they had agreed to fight each other in all things sports agree.<\/p>\n<p>Davis said on Twitter that so far the fight was &#8220;signed for sealed delivery&#8230; done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Oscar de la Hoya, a Hall of Fame fighter and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, said on Saturday when he issued a tweet demanding a signed contract from the Premier Boxing Champions and Davis on Monday. caused some commotion. Stay away, no fighting will happen.<\/p>\n<p>That tweet raised eyebrows, but on Tuesday De La Hoya posed with Garcia in the GBP office holding what appears to be a contract. April 15 Let&#8217;s go!!!&#8221; He then tagged Garcia and Davis in the post.<\/p>\n<p>Yahoo Sports reached out to Golden Boy president Eric Gomez.<\/p>\n<p>That means the fight is now mostly official. Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza was once De La Hoya&#8217;s attorney and negotiated many of his fight deals. Espinoza told Fight Hub TV that it&#8217;s common for De La Hoya to sign a deal the week of a fight.<\/p>\n<p>But Espinoza said all was agreed when Davis and Garcia tweeted in November.<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-pull-quote-wrapper caas-img caas-lazy\" data-src=\"\">\n<blockquote class=\"caas-blockquote\">\n<p>\u201cThe day they announced it, Fighter announced they had signed a deal. &#8216;I was happy to say,&#8217; he told Fighthub.  &#8220;Then why it changed after a few days is a mystery to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Davis-Garcia fight is the first of three epic bouts boxing fans have been waiting for, but none have been fully settled yet. Davis-Garcia looks closest to crossing the finish line to make a deal for the undisputed heavyweight title fight between consolidated champion Oleksandr Usyk and lineal champion Tyson Fury There is still work to be done.<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"link caas-button collapse-button\" aria-label=\"\" title=\"\" data-ylk=\"elm:readmore;slk:Story continues\">story continues<\/button><\/p>\n<p>The undisputed welterweight title bout between unified champion Errol Spence Jr. and WBO champion Terrence Crawford is far more problematic.<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to Davis and Garcia for demanding a fight from the team. It&#8217;s an attractive fight and Davis is probably the favorite to win given his experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Garbonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia Development<\/h2>\n<p>Davis is ranked number 10 on Yahoo Sports&#8217; pound for pound list and is generally considered one of the top 15 best players in the world. Garcia isn&#8217;t on the list, but he has the speed and power to make him a legitimate threat to beat hard hitter Davis.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia is 23-0 with 19 KOs. He&#8217;s not a hard, pounding puncher like Davis, but he draws power from his fiery, quick hands. He will have faster hands and better feet and Davis will have better power.<\/p>\n<p>For Garcia to win, he must control the distance, keep Davis on the end of his jab, and avoid mistakes. Punishment must be given.<\/p>\n<p>Davis has more headroom. He&#8217;s a much smarter fighter than he&#8217;s credited for, and defensively, he&#8217;s adept at letting his punches slide as he works his way inwards.<\/p>\n<p>He has to periodically touch Garcia to slow him down. He has home-run type power that can end a fight at any time, so there&#8217;s no need to stack rounds on the scorecard.<\/p>\n<p>However, Davis notes that Garcia should be wary of his powers and not just allow Garcia to fire at him from the outside without repercussions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div style=\"\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-loader noheight\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 7: Garbonta Davis punches Hector Luis Garcia for the WBA World Lightweight Championship at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC on January 7, 2023.

(Photo by Patrick Smith\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The great thing is that it&#8217;s an important battle for the division.  Along the lines of 500,000 to 650,000 pay-per-view purchases, it&#8217;s likely to do quite a bit of business, with T-Mobile Arena earning as much as $10 million, if not more, at the pay gate. This is a fight every boxing fan wants to see.<\/p>\n<p>The Q1 schedule is sparse, with little to get fans excited about.<\/p>\n<p>The match between Davis and Garcia is going to be a blast.<\/p>\n<p>When all the entities involved tweeted on November 17th that a fight was going on, it seemed official. This is boxing and weird things happen sometimes, so it&#8217;s always wise to be cautiously optimistic until things become official.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a fight that will save boxing or change the course of history. But it will be the fun, competitive fight that fans have been waiting for.<\/p>\n<p>After all, listening to your customers and making them happy is never a bad thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMijAFodHRwczovL3Nwb3J0cy55YWhvby5jb20vZ2Vydm9udGEtZGF2aXMtcnlhbi1nYXJjaWEtZmlnaHQtbG9va3MtbGlrZS1hLXJlYWxpdHktdGhvdWdoLWl0cy1ib3hpbmctYW5kLXRoZXJlcy1hbHdheXMtd29yay10by1kby0wMzEzMzI3OTIuaHRtbNIBlAFodHRwczovL3Nwb3J0cy55YWhvby5jb20vYW1waHRtbC9nZXJ2b250YS1kYXZpcy1yeWFuLWdhcmNpYS1maWdodC1sb29rcy1saWtlLWEtcmVhbGl0eS10aG91Z2gtaXRzLWJveGluZy1hbmQtdGhlcmVzLWFsd2F5cy13b3JrLXRvLWRvLTAzMTMzMjc5Mi5odG1s?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Barring any unexpected delays, Ryan Garcia (trainer Joe Goosen, above) will take on Jerbonta Davis on April 15 in Las Vegas.
