“He Ate that Right Up”: Hector Luis Garcia Takes Gervonta Davis’ Best Punch Like a Zombie in Viral Video

WBA Regular lightweight champion Gervonta Davis proved his worth as a boxer after beating Hector Luis Garcia in a dominating performance. ‘Tank’ secured the 28th victory of his career after Garcia’s eyesight was impaired following a barrage of punches he ate in the 8th round. The 130-pound champion was then not able to answer the bell for the 9th giving Davis the victory.

Many felt this would not be an incredibly easy challenge for Davis as he certainly proved this to be true. However, it was not as easy as ‘Tank’ was expecting with Garcia using his technical skills and grit to put on the best fight he could.

The right hook is considered to be one of the more brutal punches usually used for landing knockout blows. However, Luis Garcia was still standing after this which also drew in some wild reactions from fans amazed at his determination.
