Top Gervonta Davis vs Garcia Boxing Pick
Hector is a moderate champion, with his biggest win over Chris Colbert.

All but three of Garcia’s opponent’s to date have been Dominican locals; Garcia is only the forth real opponent in Garcia’s career.

Hector has never been knocked out, even in his amateur career of 37-15. The majority of his losses were at the olympic level, with his first fights ranging back to 2011 at 19 years old. Davis has knocked out undefeated fighters such as Mario Barrios, Francisco Fonseca, Liam Walsh, and Jose Pedraza.

Garcia +800 vs Davis -1600: Bet the Knockout
If you’re not building a parlay ticket, consider the No Decision odds at -460. This pays out better than 1:5 against your wager. Davis is out to make an example of Garcia and amp up the crowd for his bout with Ryan Garcia.
| Will the Fight Go the Distance | Odds |
| Yes | +285 |
| No | -460 |
Garcia making it to decision would be incredible. He’s never faced a knockout puncher like Gervonta; the over should be closer to +500.
Betting on Davis To Make it a Show
We made this pick mostly about examining Garcia’s ability, because Gervonta is unquestionable. Anyone that is unprepared is going to get starched early. Hector is an Olympian and a fine fighter, but going the distance with Gervonta Davis has only been done by Issac Cruz in anything over six rounds. Bets over 7 rounds seem like too big a gamble; expect Garcia to get outclassed in exciting fashion.
