After defeating Ryan Garcia in their fight last year, Gervonta Davis openly proclaimed himself “the face of boxing”. Not just him, but many people think that he is indeed the face of the sport. Even so, Davis’ knockout technique has evolved into a standard for taking out opponents. So much so that, in a surfaced video online from a corner, a trainer can be heard giving instructions to his fighter to use the Gervonta Davis’ method against his opponent.

Gervonta Davis VS Ryan Garcia

Bronx native Peter Dobson squared off against an up-and-coming boxing prospect, Jalil Hackett on July 13th, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The clip from the fight on the undercard of Jaron Ennis vs. David Avanesyan shows Dobson’s trainer, in between rounds, motivating Dobson to knock out Jalil Hackett.

Gervonta Davis knockout is a thing now

Between rounds, Dobson is seen in his corner, sitting on the stool and preparing for the next round. In the midst of that, his coach can be heard saying to him, “Gervonta. You remember the Gervonta? I want you to Gervonta his a**.” With 28 of his 30 fights ending in knockouts, it’s understandable why any coach would reference him when talking about knocking out opponents. His knockouts serve as a manual on how to end fights decisively.

Despite the motivation provided by his coach, Dobson could not outclass a 21-year-old Jalil Hackett. Dobson lost the bout via unanimous decision. Notably, Hackett was more likely to employ the ‘Tank’ Davis approach. I know you’re wondering, why? Even before he became a professional boxer, Hackett was close to Davis for a considerable amount of time.

Gervonta Davis AND Floyd Mayweather

‘Major’ won the vacant WBA Continental Americas Welterweight title by defeating an older and experienced Peter Dobson. The young boxer from Washington is slowly cementing his status as one of the finest rising boxers in the 147-pound division. He has been under great hands which helped him make a name for himself in boxing. Back in 2019, Hackett was asked to spar with Davis ahead of the latter’s fight against Ricardo Nunez. Hackett was so good that he was then hired as a permanent sparring partner for Davis.

Moreover, with Davis’ influence, Hackett was signed by Mayweather Promotions. The youthful boxer has benefited from the wise counsel of boxing legends like Floyd Mayweather Jr. and ‘Tank’ Davis. He naturally got the opportunity to learn from Davis, but he was also exposed to other accomplished fighters at the Mayweather gym, which helped him polish his craft. Very recently, he left Mayweather Promotions and became a free agent. Soon after he was signed by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing for a multi-fight deal. With a Matchroom deal set in place, there is no doubt that the rising prospect will appear on numerous big cards in the coming days.

Meanwhile, what do you think about Dobson’s trainer’s remarks in the video? Let us know in the comments below.
