There is no doubt that Gervonta Davis is a genius in the ring and that his style merits close reading. However, are we in a position to declare that the boxer from Baltimore has surpassed Terence Crawford as far as performance in the ring is concerned? Well, whether or not you correspond to artist-cum-commentator ShowBizz the Adult’s opinion, linking ‘Tank’ to Floyd Mayweather, he has greatly certified to certain characteristics of Davis he feels exceed ‘Bud’. What are those?

As per ShowBizz the Adult, Davis has the capacity for everything Terence Crawford has displayed in his fights. To elucidate his statement, he referred to Gervonta Davis knocking out Rolly Romero in 2022. Near the end of the sixth round, having somewhat landed a right hook, overconfident Romero decided to push Davis against the ropes. But, with his right leg on the outside, ‘Tank’ caught Romero in a square stance with his left hand while angling out.

So, ShowBizz the Adult said, “Tank’s a better aggressive fighter than Crawford. He has everything Crawford hasHe can box a fighter coming after him.” Then, he alluded to Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz. This time Davis closed in on the distance. Having pushed Santa Cruz against the ropes, Davis let the former throw his right hand while ‘Tank’ adjusted himself for a left uppercut. Soon, in the blink of an eye, the uppercut landed and Cruz was floored.

On that note, ShowBizz added, “He can go after you and he can just box him. He knocks everybody out just like Crawford.” But there is something better! “Except for I think Gervonta’s chin is slightly better. When Terence Crawford goes out there, he gon’ beat you athletic but there’s a certain poise that Gervonta has that I’m like super special,” continued ShowBizz.

And he has that Floyd Mayweather poise. Where he cannot do much but he’s beating you [mentally]. Gervonta Tank Davis approaches the fight better than anyone in the world,” he confidently concluded. In this context, it is worth mentioning that, in the past, Davis showed interest in fighting ‘Bud.’

Gervonta Davis wanted to hand down ‘Bud’ same fate suffered by Rolly and Santa Cruz

Last year, Gervonta Davis had casually mentioned that if he fought Terence Crawford at 147 lbs, he would hand ‘Bud’ down the same fate he passed to Rolly and Santa Cruz i.e. put him “to sleep” in “round six.” Later, in his response, Crawford said there was no way Davis was moving up to 147 lbs. However, ‘Bud’ did not entirely kill the prospect of a potential fight! “I’d stay at 147 lbs for him; that’s a big money fight,” he told The Breakfast Club.

But nobody’s going give me credit. Tank’s like 5’5,” he’s a little guy,” Crawford had bemoaned. At this, while fans were extremely curious, Davis clarified that he was only joking and did not intend to actually face ‘Bud.’ With that said, do you think concur with ShowBizz on Gervonta Davis being better than Crawford?

Gervonta Davis is widely regarded to be one of the most ferocious fighters active today.

‘Tank’ is something of a wrecking ball who has knocked out 28 of his 30 opponents to date. Most recently that was Frank Martin in defence of his WBA Lightweight World title. Last April, he stopped Ryan Garcia with a savage body shot and has previously knocked out the likes of Leo Santa Cruz and Rolando Romero.

Despite the power the Baltimore boxer carries in both fists and his seemingly unflappable persona, he recently admitted that he got nervous before the fight with Garcia. It was a big pay-per-view showdown that really catapulted both boxers onto the global stage

Davis has long been linked with plenty of other big-name champions in and around his division including the likes of Shakur Stevenson, Devin Haney and Vasily Lomachenko – the most likely next opponent according to both teams.

Should he make a deal with the elite Ukrainian, fans would see a lightweight unification fight with the winner holding both the WBA and IBF straps.

Undefeated lightweight contender Raymond Muratalla is out to make a name for himself in the talent-laden 135-pound division.

Muratalla (20-0, 16 KOs) will take on former world champion Tevin Farmer (33-5-1, 8 KOs) on July 13, in a Top Rank on ESPN event at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The California product hopes a win brings him closer to challenging for a world title – against one of the division’s elite.

In a recent interview with BoxingScene.com, the 27-year-old Muratalla tabbed boxing superstar and WBA 135-pound world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis as the world’s best lightweight and tipped him to beat IBF counterpart Vasiliy Lomachenko if their potential November unification bout takes place.

“If I have to rank the top lightweights in the world currently, I think Tank is first, then [WBC champion] Shakur Stevenson, then Lomachenko and then [IBF champion] Denis Berinchyk,” said Muratalla.

“Tank and Loma’s fight will be a good one, and I think if Loma can box throughout the fight, he can do something. But all in all, I believe Tank will win. I think his power will be too much for Lomachenko in later rounds of the fight.”

Muratalla, rated No. 2 by both the WBC and the WBO at lightweight, is eager to place himself in the mix of these high-profile fights. “I’m willing to fight any of the four champions in the division. I think my power can change a fight easily, and that’s another great fight with Tank if it happens.

“Shakur is another fighter that we want, and as far as he is with Top Rank, we can make that one happen for sure,” Muratalla said. “Either of the WBC or WBO is fine for me. I’ll take any of those offers.”

Muratalla has also been called out by undefeated lightweights Keyshawn Davis and William Zepeda.

On a possible fight with phenom Davis (11-0, 7 KOs), Muratalla said, “I like Davis. I want to fight him, too, but it all depends on Top Rank to make the fight, and hopefully, we can make that for the fans.”

Regarding the hard-hitting Zepeda (30-0, 26 KOs), Muratalla believes he doesn’t bring enough to the table.

“I don’t think Zepeda can trouble me with his counterpunching skill at all because I think I am too big, too strong, fast and quick. My IQ in the ring is different to these guys, and I can’t wait to show it when I face them.”

Muratalla’s skills might bring him success in the ring, but he believes he’ll need to do more in order to gain the kind of recognition and attention he believes he deserves.

“It seems I have to be talking more trash to raise my profile. I think that is what is missing, and I need to start doing that more to get the fights,” he said.

“I have always been a no-nonsense guy. I started boxing at a very tender age, and I have always trained hard because it is a dangerous sport. I think I’m right there. Hopefully I get that shot before the champions in the division unifications. I deserve to be in that conversation.”

Alittle over a year ago, Gervonta Davis gave Ryan Garcia a resounding knockout in seven rounds. Like any good athlete, “King Ryan” was not very satisfied with the defeat and today he is looking for revenge for a stratospheric sum of money.

The fight, held on April 22 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, was one of the most anticipated of the year. It ended in the seventh round when “Tank” Davis landed a solid hook to the liver. Garcia couldn’t get up at the count of 10, and Davis emerged victorious.

Although they are bitter rivals in the ring, Garcia and Davis have developed a good friendship and apparently exchange messages with some regularity, as demonstrated by recent screenshots that Ryan shared on one of his social media accounts.

In the middle of the conversation, Garcia made it clear that he would like to set up a rematch with Davis, with a substantial purse involved. Although “Tank” did not give a concrete answer, the prize proposed by Garcia could tempt the current lightweight champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA).

ill there be a Garcia vs. Davis rematch?

In a message dated May 26, Garcia offered Davis a deal: “Bro, can we run it back again?” referring to a rematch for their fight from April last year. He also proposed a sum for the purse to be shared, “Make 200ms,” the Californian suggested.

At that time, Davis still had his fight against Frank Martin pending. “Beat Frank up and let’s make real bank,” proposed “King Ryan” and even gave Davis some advice for the fight, saying, “BODY SHOT.”

“Yepppp,” “Tank” responded, and Garcia reiterated, “Cool body shot bro. He is weak to the body.” “And to the chin,” Davis completed.

It’s only been two weeks since Gervonta Davis fought, but it’s already been all but confirmed that Tank’s next opponent will be Vasiliy Lomachenko. At least, that’s what all of the reports are pointing to.

Davis has barely been able to celebrate what was yet another stunning knockout victory, this time against Frank Martin. Davis once again showed his elite power. The manner in which he won has become the norm for Tank, with some wondering if we’ll ever see him have to use more of his technical side in any fight.

Boxing coach Kenny Ellis says Tank can outbox Loma

Davis’ trainer Kenny Ellis has heard the whispers from fans that Lomachenko can “outbox” Davis, but he isn’t having any of it.

Ellis believes Davis’ ring IQ is better than anyone gives him credit for, but he’s adamant that the general philosophy for Tank won’t change if him and Loma face off: knockout or nothing.

That type of gameplan has clearly worked for Davis up until this point. Tank has 28 knockouts in 30 career fights and is yet to lose a bout. Lomachenko has never been knocked out, but it wouldn’t be the first time Davis creates a first for another boxer.

Extended footage of Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis’ infamous sparring has leaked online.

The world champion duo clashed in a notorious training session in 2016, and both men have claimed to have gotten the better of the other ever since.

In March, Ryan Garcia posted a clip of Haney, who was just 16 years old at the time, being punched around the ring by Davis as Floyd Mayweather watched on.

‘Tank’ can be seen unloading a barrage of heavy punches on Haney.

However, the brief snippet seemed to be edited in a way to flatter Davis, who was 21 years old and well into his professional boxing career.

On Saturday night, while he was stretching his perfect record to 30-0 by knocking out Frank Martin, Fight Hype shared an 18-minute video that showed the six-round sparring session in its entirety with one particular moment catching the attention of boxing fans.

‘The Dream’ posted a three-second clip of him whacking Davis around the side of his head when he turned his back and began conversing with someone in the corner.

Unfortunately, Haney didn’t get the reaction he was after from his followers.

One person tweeted: “Bro threw a pillow at Tank.”

Another said:” Bragging about a shot where he had his back turned is nasty work.”

Someone else commented: “S*** did 1 damage.”

Haney is currently recovering from the first defeat of his career.

The 25-year-old was the undisputed lightweight champion before moving up in weight and taking on Garcia, who missed the 140lb limit ahead of their clash in April.

‘King Ry dropped Haney three times en route to a decision win.

The American is currently campaigning to get his lone loss overturned because Garcia tested positive for ostarine in the aftermath of their fight.

It’s currently unclear if Haney will get his wish, but it seems certain that he will square off with Davis one day.

Only time will tell if their sparring session is any indication of how an actual fight between the two boxing superstars will play out.

What goes on during sparring sessions is supposed to remain behind closed doors but more frequently than ever stories are being leaked from the gym.

What goes on in camp while a fighter is preparing is meant to remain secret, especially around sparring. It can never be known what stage a fighter was at, how many rounds they had done that day, what the instructions from the corner were and so on, which means it’s unfair to speak of a knockdown or victory behind closed doors.

Despite this, when a beef is brewing between fighters secret footage can often be leaked in order to stoke the fires, as was the case with Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis recently.

Now another gym session incident involving Davis has been discussed on ESNEWS. A fighter who was set to get in the ring with the Baltimore native recalled an incident in the gym where ‘Tank’ was sparring a ‘known heavyweight’ – a name they didn’t disclose as to ‘not embarrass’ anyone

Davis was then asked to confirm.

Davis is coming off another impressive knockout win over Frank Martin to defend his 135lb world title. It came more than a year after stopping Ryan Garcia, and now fans hope he remains more active and takes on some of the big names in his weight class.

These include the likes of Shakur Stevenson, Haney and Vasiliy Lomachenko, though Teofimo Lopez recently claimed Davis will be rematching Isaac Cruz having already beaten him.

Gervonta Davis is, once again, at the pinnacle of boxing. He’s one of the biggest attractions in the sport, constantly selling out big arenas for all of his fights. And he’s once again fresh off of a knockout of a contender for his throne.

This time around, it was Frank Martin on the losing end of a Tank bout. Martin started out well, but Davis kicked into gear soon enough and got his 28th KO in 30 fights. Davis has a lot of options for his next fight, but most signs point to Vasiliy Lomachenko being the opponent.

Tank Davis vs Loma coming in 2024?

Despite being 36 years old, the Ukrainian has been impressive in his last five fights. His most recent was a stoppage victory over former unified champion George Kambosos Jr.

That performance was enough to slightly concern Tank’s sparring partner, Robert Meriwether III. In an interview with FightHype, he had this to say about a potential Davis-Lomachenko fight.

Davis has always taken his opponents pretty seriously, although he was underwhelmed by Martin until fight night. It sounds like Davis and his team believe Lomachenko is the real deal.

It’s only been two weeks since Gervonta Davis fought, but it’s already been all but confirmed that Tank’s next opponent will be Vasiliy Lomachenko. At least, that’s what all of the reports are pointing to.

Gervonta Davis extended his unbeaten campaign recently with a knockout win over Frank Martin to retain his WBA Lightweight World title.

The boxer from Baltimore made it 28 stoppages from 30 wins and is now set to enter talks with Vasiliy Lomachenko to unify the with the IBF belt. Fans also want to see him in with fellow American Shakur Stevenson, who has long called for the bout and brings the WBC title to the table.

Speaking to Stephen A Smith, coach Calvin Ford said that all comers were on notice, and the only person he can see causing defeat to ‘Tank’ Davis is the man himself.

Davis has had legal issues outside of the ring, the latest of which did stunt his momentum after a statement Ryan Garcia win. It’s likely these external factors Ford refers to as he attempts to keep the fighting sensation focused on the game.
