Boxing is a shell of its former self. Under the right conditions, this could break through sports purgatory and be really exciting. Enter two undefeated fighters Gervonta Davis and Ryan GarciaNeither one has an unblemished record after their catchweight bout this weekend. Beyond the story of the tape as a decoy, the pair have taken the best route, making professional wrestling and mixed martial arts the trendy option in the current combat-sports landscape. Promising a knockout where the loser has to leave the ring with a broken jaw doesn’t hurt either.
Both Garcia and Davis had injured each other while posing for the traditional pre-fight photo-op with their fists close to each other. Showcasing their out-of-ring personas has been the calling card of the UFC, adding more drama to the fights. Remember the fight between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington last March? All the trash talk made it more interesting and it was only fueled by his post-fight altercation in Miami. That same energy is being demonstrated by Davis and Garcia, who clearly despise each other and that will add to how much each punch means inside the ring.
Masvidal and Covington Borrowed from the Pro-Wrestling Playbook To sell your fight, where the theatrical world of the squared circle relies on bombastic personalities and storylines to make every “fight” something. It’s never just about who’s the best. It’s a journey of how to be the best at it as well as what are the ethical behaviors of people who deserve to be championed. And that’s exactly the script Davis and Garcia are writing.
