The Nicaraguan boxer thinks it will be a close fight, but he sides with Garcia because he likes his ability to keep his rhythm deep into rounds.
“Ryan has strengthened a lot, and the distance, I think, will affect Gervonta. But it’s 50-50.”
“If I have to lean towards someone, I think Garcia. I’m inclined because if he can manage to keep the rhythm of fighting for 12 rounds.”
Fonseca, however, did state Davis might have a slight advantage because he’s been the more active fighter.
