Ryan Garcia Confident He Will KO Gervonta Davis Inside Two Rounds: ‘I Am Just Better Than Him’

Ryan Garcia is not only confident he will beat Gervonta Davis but believes he will knock him out inside two rounds.

Garcia and Davis are expected to fight in April in Las Vegas in a highly-anticipated match. It is a fight they both have wanted and when it happens, Garcia expects to KO Davis rather quickly.

“Prediction for the fight – I say I’ll beat him in about two rounds,” Garcia told The Joe Pomp Show (via BoxingScene). “Part of me knows that I am just better than him. What I’ve seen from him. What I know about myself. What I know they are underestimating, just by the way he speaks and just how he fights. But my main thing is that I don’t think he’s really ever understood adversity in a professional ring in his career. I think he’s always had an understanding that nothing can go wrong because of the talent he’s facing. I don’t think he’s felt any risk in the ring.

“When I’m in there, obviously he knows it’s a different level of speed and power, and that I am not oblivious to the different shots he’s trying to land, which are sometimes obvious that he throws,” Garcia continued. “I think that he’ll start facing the pressure that this is a lot harder than he may have thought. And I won’t let off the gas when I feel that. But this is boxing. You have to make adjustments on the fly. This is only what I see from the outside. On the inside, it’s all going to play out.”

Ryan Garcia says why he is so confident is due to the fact he doesn’t think Gervotna Davis has fought anyone like him. He says Davis is used to being the faster boxer which isn’t the case here.

“I just really don’t know if he’s ever felt that feeling of ‘how do I figure this out’ because he is just way stronger than people and he’s way faster than the opponents he’s been fighting,” said Garcia. “Even when he’s had problems, he’s always known that he can just get up in them and start landing his hard shots because his opponents don’t have the snap to make him cautious. And I think he’s underestimating my intelligence a little bit. Because I’ve created my own type of style. My defensive moves are not flashy. My footwork is not flashy. Everything I do is not flashy, but it’s very subtle. That’s why I really don’t get hit.”
