Gervonta Davis vanquished the unbeaten Mario Barrios to claim the WBA super lightweight title via stoppage. Now, a three-division champion, ‘Tank’ is 25-0 as a professional pugilist and can aim to defend his belts in multiple weight classes.

That said, Davis beat several odds tonight to walk out undefeated. Although Barrios tested him to the core, Davis’ impeccable power and pace became too much to handle for ‘El Azteca’. Barrios absorbed some of the most brutal shots in the fight and offered the same from his end. However, it didn’t work out well for him.

While the concluding rounds saw him get curbed, Mario Barrios expressed his interest in continuing the fight. However, as Gervonta Davis had already planted his best shots, ‘El Azteca’ had nothing left to offer. So the referee rightly intervened and called off the fight.

As Davis saw his hands get raised, he also bagged the 24 KO win in his professional career. Hence, he now has a KO ratio of 96%. Here’s a deeper look into the fight.
