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.

Over the weekend, I got a chance to interview people. I asked people if they knew a specific law and if they recognized it, and if they would agree with the law if Congress passed it. The person I asked was 18 years old, and he said he recognized the law and would agree with the freedoms. He believes everyone should be able to voice their opinion, which is the shield laws. He thought that the laws provided the perfect amount of freedom. He did not recognize that the laws were similar to the First Amendment.

The following person, I asked about the laws. is a 53-year-old woman. she agreed with the laws and thought they weren’t excessive or provided too much freedom. Another person I asked was a 23-year-old man. He disagreed with the laws, thought they provided too much freedom, and thought the media should release their sources. He did recognize that the law went hand in hand with the first amendment.

Then I interviewed an 84-year-old man and an 84-year-old woman. Only one of them has heard shield laws. Once I explained to the one who did not understand the laws, she understood what was happening. They both agreed that law was not excessive. They also saw the correlation between the first amendment and the law.
