‘KingRy‘ became one of the top contenders for the lightweight throne, after defeating Fortuna at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. Davis on the other hand, scored a sensational knockout win against Rolando Romera at the Barclays Center, New York City, New York.
Moreover, in victory, he retained his WBA (Regular) lightweight title. The two fighters have been hinting at a potential fight for a very long time. The young fighters have also been having a brutal Twitter beef. Garcia even went on to call Davis out. He said, “Isn’t it funny you only went up in weight at 140 to fight Mario. But with me you didn’t, shows that you are not that confident and looking for any edge.”

And, in a turn of events, Garcia even went on to post a picture of Davis and his promoter, Floyd Mayweather, on Instagram. The hysterical image showed Mayweather teaching Davis how to ride a bike. In a way, it can be speculated that Garcia wanted to show Davis as a ‘kid’ protected under Mayweather’s shadow.

Similarly, a few fans were also quick to mention that Garcia would have a hard time beating Davis. Moreover, user @bennyboy12788 was sure that ‘Tank’ would wreck Garcia.
He's right.
Gervonta is one of the most protected boxers we have seen in recent years.
The Deontay Wilder of the lower weight divisions.

This is TRUE. Tank is a protected fighter. Only fights no hope opponents these days. Punk.

Meanwhile, a few users felt that Garcia’s words were true. In fact, user @kingbrandon1812, even mentioned that Davis was a protected fighter who only fought opponents who are not skilled enough.
Just talk from these wastemen. Tank is gonna end up fighting some no name and Ryan will continue fighting fringe contenders 😂😂 pointless back and forth

All these two want to do is social media instead of giving the fans what they want and fighting…. 🤦♂️

In the same vein, user @GHxstt_ also stated that both Garcia and Davis will continue fighting unskilled opponents. User @RossSlade92 on the other hand felt that the duo will only fight on social media. And not inside the ring.
Everyone getting excited for the fight in December but it for sure won't be December 2022
