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.

Did Devin Haney make a huge mistake taking up the Ryan Garcia fight? After all, he was knocked down three times in a single night which ultimately led to a Majority Decision loss for ‘The Dream’. The cold and calculated undefeated boxer had no answers for the onslaught that Garcia brought inside the ring. But, the 25-year-old boxer was handed a saving grace.

JUST IN: Gervonta Davis’ trainer has no fear and challenges Floyd Mayweather to a fight against Tank…

The New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) found Garcia guilty of taking the banned substance Ostarine, and declared his win against Haney a ‘no contest’Alas, ‘the Dream was vindicated! But the damage was already done. The fight made him lose face in the industry and damaged the possibility of securing potentially lucrative fights. Remember how Haney’s promoter, Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing, decided to not bid for the fight against his mandatory challenger Sandor Martin? However, throughout the entire fiasco and online slander, there was one woman who stood by Haney’s side, Claressa Shields!

Off late, Shields came down hard against a fan on social media who claimed that ‘King Ry’s’ win against Devin Haney was legitimate. But an obvious fallacy in the person’s logic had to be called out. Garcia coming in over the weight limit for the fight was not the issue, but something glaringly obvious was.

Ryan Garcia VS Devin Haney

An internet user who goes by the name of @NukeUndisputed on X, wanted to make a case for how having a significant weight advantage in the fight did not guarantee a victory. In light of the matter being discussed, Ryan Garcia was roped in. You might remember how Garcia came in at 143.2lbs, 3.2lbs above the required weight limit. Taking this example as a case study, he went on to cite a few recent instances where a boxer with a significant weight advantage over his opponent lost. Among them, Ryan Garcia’s brother Sean Garcia who got stopped by Amado Vargas in the sixth round of a scheduled eight-round bout, also got a mention.

“Ryan Garcia’s younger brother Sean Garcia copied Ryan’s plan of missing weight by 3lbs against Armando Vargas and just got stopped. Gio Cabrera missed weight by 2lbs and got stopped by William Zepeda. Danny Jacobs came in 2lbs over Shane Mosley Jr. and got stopped. The idea that weight is why Devin Haney lost to Ryan Garcia when Devin is supposed to be superiorly “skilled” is incorrect. He lost because he wasn’t good enough,” the user wrote on X.

But Shields pointed out one obvious flaw in his long X post. Unlike Ryan Garcia, other fighters weren’t on PEDs. “Hahaha he lost cause Ryan was on PEDs wtf is wrong with you,” the 2-time undisputed champion wrote on X.

Garcia’s A-sample as well as B-sample before the fight against Devin Haney came back positive. Subsequently, Garcia was given a one-year suspension, forfeiture of his million official contract purse, and a win against Haney overturned, as punishment by NYSAC for failing the drug tests. The problem was only compounded by the recent expulsion order from the WBC due to his recent Islamophobic and racist remarks.

Meanwhile, the former junior-middleweight champion, tired of his social antics, urged ‘King Ry’ to take some accountability for his actions.

Go look in the mirror!

Safe to say that Ryan Garcia is down in the dumps. But, despite his long list of penalizations, he seems to be attacking anybody who doesn’t agree with his narrative. Sometimes, his attacks are downright crass. Such was the case when Shields was subjected to nasty DMs filled with crude remarks from Ryan Garcia. “I’m saying you said my mom don’t got cancer crack head. Are you f*king an idiot. Dumb a*s crack head read b*tch. Screenshot b*tch.” One of Garcia’s DMs read.

In the mood to give an appropriate reality check to Garcia, Shields wrote on X, “Man @RyanGarcia you are a piece of shit! You use your platform to lie and mislead the people. It’s sad. And now that your roller coaster is going down you are pointing the finger at everyone else! Go look in the mirror! You are the problem! You are The reason. Stop using…”

Is ‘GWOAT’ justified in her actions to torch Garcia over his long list of misfortunes? Or does Garcia deserve every bit of criticism he has been getting? Let us know in the comment section below.

Ryan Garcia and Claressa Shields are at war. The two boxers were going at X and unleashed some verbal jibes. But things took a nasty turn when ‘GWOAT’ shared some messages that ‘KingRy’ dropped in her DMS. What’s more? The latter owned up to his deed and accepted that it was “all” him. What happened exactly?

Claressa Shields v Ryan Garcia

Garcia, 25, and Shields, 29, have been at loggerheads since she favored Devin Haney as the two childhood rivals tussled over the ostarine saga. The American boxer has openly opened fire on Garcia, as she blasted him for cheating. But she expected it the least when Garcia sent her derogatory messages, which she shared on her X handle. Garcia, at 24-1, went on a rampage and insulted Shields, as he wrote, “I’m saying you said my mom don’t got cancer crack head. Are you f*king an idiot. Dumb a*s crack head read b*tch. Screenshot b*tch.”

After the 14-0 record holder shared the shocking conversation on X, Garcia candidly responded to her claim and accepted, “That’s all me.”

The two boxers hadn’t found a middle ground in these months, with taunts and accusations flying across their social media handles. In addition, they didn’t let any opportunity slide by to make a jibe at each other. But the friction between them is reaching a tipping point, as the Flint native blasted Garcia and called him a “piece of sh*t.” What else did she say?

Claressa Shields labels Ryan Garcia as “the problem”

After Garcia labeled Shields as “anti-humans” and slandered her, the latter penned a lengthy note, calling out the Victorville native. The light middleweight champion pointed out that Garcia was using the platform to mislead people. She penned, “Man @RyanGarcia you are a piece of sh*t! You use your platform to lie and mislead the people. It’s sad.”

The undisputed champion added, “And now that your roller coaster is going down you are pointing the finger at everyone else! Go look in the mirror! You are the problem! You are The reason. Stop using God to make excuses for you being a terrible person! The jig is up! GO GET HELP!!”

Notably, Shields has also floated the idea of a man-vs.-woman boxing match against Garcia to settle their beef once and for all. However, it might not materialize anytime soon because Garcia has to serve a year-long ban after NYSAC slapped him with a year ban, along with a fine and a forfeit of the guaranteed purse.
