Davis landed a beautiful left hand to the body that forced Garcia to a knee where he was unable to continue
Davis, 28, who reunited with former promoter Floyd Mayweather before the fight, hugged his longtime mentor after the victory with a huge smile on his face. Despite the narrative surrounding this fight that the winner might become the new face of the sport, Davis spent most of the promotion reminding media members he already is, which was hard to debate following his performance.
"I'm definitely the face of boxing," Davis said. "Everybody already knew that."
Although Davis' power was the biggest story in this main event of a Showtime PPV, it was the advantages in technique, experience and ring IQ that ultimately helped him set up the finish. Even though Garcia outlanded him by a margin of 39-35, according to ShoStats, in this largely tense bout with low output, Davis landed a sizzling 48% of his power shots overall.
