One of the key factors that could determine the outcome of the fight is the difference in reach and height between the two fighters. Ryan Garcia, who stands at 5’10”, has a reach of 70 inches, while Gervonta Davis, who is 5’5″, has a reach of just 67 inches. This could give Garcia an advantage in terms of being able to land punches from a distance. On the other hand, ‘Tank’ will need to find a way to get inside and deliver his trademark power punches.

Another factor that could come into play is the fighters’ previous fights. Davis, who has a record of 28-0 with 26 knockouts, has faced some tough opponents in his career, including Leo Santa Cruz, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Jose Pedraza. Garcia, on the other hand, has a record of 23-0 with 21 knockouts. ‘KingRy’ displayed his skill and power in his fight against Luke Campbell. Davis vs. Garcia will prove to be a test for both fighters and will certainly be a close contest and arguably the toughest challenge of each man’s career.
