This clash is for the WBA lightweight world championship with Davis and Garcia entering as champion and challenger, respectively.

Gervonta Davis’ Betting Outlook vs Garcia

Davis is a five-time world champion and one of modern day boxing’s most proven knockout artists, pound for pound.

‘Tank’ has been a belt holder across three separate weight divisions and looks to make the fourth defense of this specific title reign.

The rumors say that Davis will go on to fight Ryan Garcia likely sometime around April should he win here.

While heavily favored, Davis acknowledges the challenge in front of him and is privy of Garcia’s attributes so as to not underrate him.

Davis was arrested eleven days before the fight on domestic violence charges but things have played out to where this fight is still taking place.

This contest is a battle between a pair of undefeated fighters but will Davis’mental game be shaken by outside considerations?

Hector Luis Garcia’s Betting Outlook vs Davis

Garcia is the WBA super featherweight champion and is moving up in weight for a stiff test.

The former Olympian looks to best one of the most visible stars in the sport today and vault himself to previously unforeseen heights in the hierarchy of the boxing world.

This is a relatively rare southpaw versus southpaw fight but I feel like Davis’ 93 percent finishing rate will be the big difference maker here.

‘Tank’ has a sometimes underrated fight IQ and his technical sense of ring generalship will shine through in this fight as well as his brick-fisted tendencies.

Davis vs Garcia Prediction

This prizefight is scheduled for twelve rounds, and I do not see the judges playing a role in the outcome of this fight.

I see good value in pursuing prop bets on this fight not going the distance (-475) and on Davis winning via KO or TKO (-370). Plus, I would also go with Davis winning this bout between rounds 7-9 (+225).

Pick: Gervonta Davis (-1800)
