Davis, in his sheer war against Barrios, showcased vast prowess from his artillery. In the initial rounds themselves, he began his assault and traded substantial punches with his fellow adversary. However, in the mid-rounds, ‘Tank’ lost his momentum a bit, and he faced the wrath of Barrios’ power.
But as he realized the same, he picked up the pace and shook his fellow contemporary with thunderous hits. As a result, Barrios fell prey to ‘Tank’s vicious power in round 11 and he ended up giving that fight to Davis.
