In the world of boxing, rematches are often seen either as an opportunity for redemption or confirmation of superiority. And that’s why fans and analysts alike are eagerly waiting for Gervonta Davis to return to the ring. The Baltimore native is all geared up to kickstart his 2025 journey before finally hanging up his gloves by the end of this year.

But before that, the 30-year-old hinted at completing a few critical fights. And among these is the much-discussed rematch with Ryan Garcia. Their first encounter on April 22, 2023, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, ended with a devastating body shot knockout win over Garcia in the 7th round. It looked like the fight was done if it weren’t for a passing remark made by Gervonta Davis.

So what happened is, that Tank, despite having a bout against Lamont Roach Jr. scheduled for March 1, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, hopped on an Instagram live session recently to make a bold statement. Confident as ever, he said, “I’ll tax that a– again. Tell them boys to give me $150 m’s. I’m coming,” while being asked about a Ryan Garcia rematch.

Now with the new fight update buzzing around, our team asked AI, particularly the ChatGPT-4.0, to predict who will gain victory in the rematch. AI, as usual, took into account several key factors and this is what the model predicted.

What could change in the Ryan Garcia vs. Gervonta Davis rematch?

The first probable change, according to ChatGPT, is Ryan Garcia’s adjustments. Though a gifted fighter, his first meeting with Gervonta Davis revealed key weaknesses that led to his downfall. In their initial fight, Garcia’s over-aggressive nature left him vulnerable to Tank. For the rematch, Garcia is expected to make several adjustments, like “Improved head movement and defense to avoid Davis’ counterpunches” as it could make him more competitive in the early rounds. According to the AI, one of the primary changes Garcia could make is “to use his jab more effectively, and avoid overextending, which led to the liver shot KO in their first fight.” If Garcia can improve his defense and keep his guard up, he might be able to survive longer into the later rounds.

Gervonta Davis’ strategy is another factor to consider. While Ryan Garcia has made adjustments, Gervonta Davis is unlikely to change much about his approach. The WBA lightweight champion is a smart fighter. The first fight was a perfect example of how he can break down an opponent’s defense with his patience and timing. “Tank would likely stick to his game plan of staying patient, reading Garcia’s movements, and capitalizing on mistakes,” the model asserted.

In the rematch, it’s expected that Davis will once again remain patient, waiting for Garcia to make a mistake. What mistake? It is to leave his body exposed when he throws punches. It is expected that Davis, who possesses both incredible power and ring IQ, will patiently wait for the right moment to capitalize on Garcia’s lapses, just as he did before.

The mental game is also a factor that can’t be overlooked. Gervonta Davis has the confidence of knowing he won the first fight decisively. That mental edge could carry over into the rematch, making him even more dangerous. However, Garcia’s hunger for redemption could also fuel his determination to correct his previous mistakes. It’s this mixture of motivation and desperation that could make him a more dangerous opponent, but will it be enough to dethrone Davis?

AI Breaks down the rematch

The first 1-4 rounds of the rematch are likely to unfold similarly to their initial fight. Garcia will probably start strong, using his jab and reach to try and control the distance. However, Gervonta Davis who is keen on reading his opponent’s movements and secured knockout victories over the past three years straight will likely stay calm, looking for counters and patiently waiting to close the gap.

In the middle 5-8 rounds, Tank will start to gain control after finding the openings. As a result, Garcia will start struggling to keep up with the pressure. By the time the fight reaches the late rounds, Davis is expected to assert his dominance. According to the ChatGPT, if Garcia hasn’t been able to hurt the 30-year-old or make significant adjustments by rounds 9 or 10, the Baltimore native’s precision and power will likely be too much for him to handle. So what is the final verdict?

Based on AI predictions, the most probable outcome is that Gervonta Davis wins via knockout or TKO somewhere between rounds 8 and 9.

Though Ryan Garcia will likely make adjustments to improve his chances, the prediction remains that Gervonta Davis will prevail once again. Even though Ryan Garcia is heavier now, yet Davis’ experience and ability to break down his opponents slowly and methodically will likely lead to another dominant victory, solidifying his place as the top fighter in the lightweight division.

The rematch between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia is poised to be a high-stakes battle, but based on AI predictions, Tank is still the favorite to come out on top. KingRy has the tools to make it a more competitive fight, but Davis’ experience and ability to exploit weaknesses in his opponents give him a significant advantage. With a potential KO or TKO win in the later rounds, Davis is expected to cement his legacy as one of the best in the lightweight division.
