Gervonta Davis and Hector Luis Garcia squared off in the main event at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC on Saturday, January 7. The contest featured undefeated five-time world champion of Baltimore, Maryland up against unbeaten world champion of San Juan de la Maguana, Dominican Republic. The pair battled it out in the main event live stream on Showtime PPV with Davis’ WBA lightweight title on the line.
In Australia, the event aired live on Kayo on Sunday, January 8.
The scheduled for twelve rounds world championship bout didn’t go the full distance. Davis claimed the win via TKO at 13 seconds into the ninth round. In between the rounds Garcia reportedly told his corner he couldn’t see.
In the eighth round the action inside the squared circle stopped due to a fight braking out in the crowd.
With the victory by TKO Gervonta Davis remained undefeated, improved to 28-0, 28 KOs and retained his WBA lightweight title. In his following outing he is expected to face fellow star Ryan Garcia. Hector Luis Garcia dropped to 16-1, 10 KOs and suffered the first defeat in his pro boxing career.
