Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia undercard: hits and misses according to fans

Fans are buzzing with excitement as the undercard for the upcoming Davis vs. Garcia fight has been revealed. However, not everyone seems to be completely satisfied with the lineup. Some fans, such as icantdm, expressed disappointment that Adrien Broner wasn’t included in the undercard. He suggested, “Should’ve got @adrienbroner on the undercard”. On the other hand, goosetavoo seems happy with the card and is rooting for Elijah Garcia. He simply wrote, “Good undercard”. But there are also those who are critical of the undercard.

One fan, davidisblessed, pointed out that the UFC usually has bigger names and more title fights on their cards, and this could potentially hurt the pay-per-view sales.

He said, “UFC will have 3 title fights on the card and big ass names”.

However, torrescortesrodrigo argues that the fights on the undercard are well-matched and just because they may not be as well-known doesn’t mean they won’t be good fights.

He wrote, “Just because you don’t know them doesn’t mean they aren’t good”.
