WBA “Regular” Lightweight Champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis is no stranger to big fights. In January, he packed out Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. when he beat Hector Luis Garcia. Just a few months later, he traveled out to Las Vegas and handed Ryan Garcia the first loss of his professional career. This weekend, all eyes will be on Las Vegas for a major fight, but Davis will be watching from inside instead as Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. fight for welterweight supremacy. In a newly surfaced interview, the Baltimore native was asked who he believed would walk away with the win.
“Errol. I know for sure. Imagine we are in a gunfight, right? And I got a metal shield, and the opposite person got a glass shield. Who gonna come out on top?” Davis asked.
“[It doesn’t matter] how much he run around, once them hands get on him it’s gonna slow him down … Ain’t no ‘if’ – he gonna touch him.”
WBO Welterweight Champion Terence Crawford didn’t hold back in his assessment of Davis’s prediction.
“We gonna see. We gonna see,” he said.
When asked if he would consider fighting the current lightweight champion, Crawford quickly dismissed the idea.
“He too little. He ain’t fighting no real guys at 147,” he declared.
In the meantime, Crawford will have his sights set on T-Mobile Arena where he will fight Errol Spence Jr. on Saturday, July 29.
