‘Almost Knocked Them Out in Floyd’s Gym’ – Gervonta Davis Makes Stunning Revelation About Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson Sparring Sessions
Follow Us
To retain its effectiveness, the sword needs regular sharpening. A blunt blade doesn’t maim. A boxer, in that event, needs to incorporate real-time sparring to receive that vital feedback. It doesn’t make sense to bring an actual opponent to your sparring sessions. The best alternative is to go as near as possible. Combined with other training methods, simulating the opponent’s signature moves, footwork, and favored combinations is the best recipe to prepare for that final test.
WBA (Regular) Lightweight champion Gervonta Davis is known to display dazzling speed and quick outbursts to slay a foe. Tank’s training regimen, on a regular day, may lead a typical day-job boxer to a hospital. Never going tenderhearted on himself, Gervonta takes each aspect of the training with utter seriousness.

The Rize podcast – who is better?
The show began with the usual banter, and it graduated towards who among the three – Shakur Stevenson, Devin Haney, and Gervonta Davis is the best.
While the discussion progressed, around forty minutes later, Gervonta Davis joined the banter, followed by boxing podcaster Blue Blood Sports TV after some sixty minutes. To coach Kenny’s question, “Who you’re going for – Tank or Haney?”

Blue Blood responded affirmatively, “I told y’all already man I think Devin Haney gonna win man I told you it’s a 50-50 fight.”
Further explaining his standpoint, “I think that there’s three people in the world that I think that could beat Tank, that would be Devin, that would be Shakur and Tank Davis himself.”
Not appreciating the journalist’s analogy, Tank confirmed that he had sparring sessions with Shakur and Devin and succeeded against the duo.
Blue Blood countered that last comment with the account he was party to, that Devin got the better of Tank when they sparred last time. A version that Tank denied outright and asserted that he was able to manage Devin not once, but twice.

Is it Gervonta Davis 1 and Devin Haney 1?
A video of Blue Blood after the Rize podcast has now come up. He still insists on why Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney stand out compared to Gervonta Davis. While the latter is more robust, Stevenson and Haney cover that disadvantage with their height and relative reach. In line with the narrative, Devin’s father, Bill Haney, confirmed that when they sparred for the first time, Tank had an apparent upper hand, but the tables were reversed in the second session when Haney outgunned the former.

While both camps stick to their version of the story, for the fans, the fact that three of the most outstanding boxers from the lower-weight divisions can test each other and that it may lay the roadmap for a future contest suffices in sustaining the interest.
