Gervonta Davis amassed wide attention from fans and fighters around the globe with his sublime performance against Mario Barrios. He put on a performance worth remembering and showed his true class in this enigmatic tussle. Moreover, Davis’s idol and mentor, Floyd Mayweather, was ringside for this fight, and the young gun truly employed all of his learnings in this battle.

But midway through the fight, Mayweather came to Davis’s corner and gave him a piece of advice. He said, “On the unofficial (scorecard), you’re down. I gotta be honest with you.”

This advice helped Davis buck up in the fight and claim the win. Barrios, the underdog in this fight, fared extremely well in the initial stages and he even gave a stern test to ‘Tank’. However, the latter was a step ahead. He began his assault from the very first round, looking to overpower the smaller ‘Tank’.

But as the fight moved ahead, Davis became a bit slow and Mayweather shared an honest opinion with ‘Tank’. That said, ‘Pretty Boy’s piece of advice worked wonders for the young force.
