For quite some time, the talk of the sports world has been about the Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia fight. My friend Dav had a watch party at his house on the night of the fight. We ate burgers, hot dogs, and Oreo cheesecake. It was a good time.
The fight lasted seven rounds, with Davis coming out on top. Most of the house had Davis winning, and there were few people that had Ryan Garcia winning the fight. I know a few people were mad because they lost some money in the fight.
This fight was very controversial on social media. I know fighters promote the fight by having face-offs and talking trash to each other in front of the press, trying to build up the fight, but the media to this fight to another level. The direction of this fight went from Who’s the best lightweight boxer in the world to Black vs. Hispanics, or at least that it was on social media.
People on social media took this fight personally after Gervnota Davis said in an interview that Ryan Garcia was not Mexican because he does not speak Spanish. Now the Hispanic community came to Ryan’s defense and said Davis was wrong for making this comment. And ripped him on social media. The African American community then came to Davis’s defense and started to fire back.
As they say, bad publicity is good publicity. This made the fight ten times more interesting. This had to be the most highly anticipated boxing super fight in the last five years. They lived up to the hype of the fight, or should I say it lived up to everyone’s predictions of Garcia getting knocked out.
