Garcia had also spoken about fighting Davis right after his Fortuna fight. He said, “I’m never going back down to 135. I’m going to stay at 140. I’m going to fight ‘Tank’ Davis if he wants it at 140. And if he doesn’t, then I’ll go fight some 140-pounder. But he’s going to want to do it.”

Conversely, user @AlAbaba128, on the other hand, was sure of Davis’ victory in the fight.
