Gervonta Davis vs Mario Barrios results For Saturday’s pay-per-view in Atlanta Gervonta’s “tank” Davis called a move that proved “good to be great” by two weight classes to 140 pounds. Those who looked at his performance would not agree.
Davis (25-0, 24 KO), a 26-year-old star rider, led the world title in the third class by hitting Mario Barrios, regular WBA champion at the rate of 140 Pounds, and a thrilling and dramatic sluggish champion in State Farm Arena at Round 11. The second consecutive card was a world champion in the third grades.

While Davis was in the lead at the time of the stop, Barrios was much more active and was fighting him over what seemed to be equal conditions during a series of competitive and exciting rounds.
Davis, who was born in Baltimore, rallied for the third time in the battle with a left uppercut in Round 11 after the start from Barrios. After Barrios returned to his feet, a flourish in the ropes from Davis forced Thomas Taylor to jump in at 2:13.
“I’ve made it difficult, I’ve made it hard. I could certainly have facilitated that, but that’s what that’s all about,” Davis said. “Two weight classes I went up and I did the work.”

Davis, reigning WBA champion of 130 pounds and WBA secondary title holder of 135 pounds, was the greatest punch, although he gave his junior worldweight debut nearly six inches tall, only nine months from recording the year’s knockout in 2020 by finishing Leo Santa Cruz with an upercut in Run 6 of his junior lightweight fight.
“It’s only been adjustments. He is 140 pounds and I wanted clean shots,” said Davis. He was 140 pounds. “I just don’t want to cast any shot of any kind.

“I came up with two weight classes but I knew I could get him out of there if I caught him.”
When he started to parry with his right guy at Barrios’ jab, after a strong start from Barrios to control the distance without extending to be countered, the diminutivating Davis made the most important change in the fighting in round 5. Barrios was dismissed by the change as he was afraid that the faster Davis would close against him.
“I was never a hateful man, Tank’s congrats. He came in to do his job, “Barrios said. Barrios said. “We came here to do that, nothing short of an exciting fight. I’m going to be returning.”

Davis seemed to take momentum for good in Round 8 when Barrios was struck and dropped by the lead-right hook. Davis pursued a second knockdown with his left hand but tried to finish the tough Barrios, which left his gas tank low in the last two minutes.
In Round 9, Barrios seemed to hurt Davis with his left hand. The two fighters traded routinely big shots in the centre of the ring in the next round.
What made the fighting theatre more interesting was that Davis’ promoter and mentor Floyd Mayweather approached him two times in the corner of the fighting to tell Davis he was potentially in a close battle.
“I knew it was hurt [Barrios]. At the right time, I had only to catch him, “Davis said. Davis said. “He told me I was down, and Floyd came to me and was honest. “Show me you are great,” he said. He said, I’m only following in his footsteps, this man set the tone. I value you, Floyd. Floyd. I’m grateful to have been here.”
Barrios was able to rally even larger every time the fight moved on into the chapter’s rounds.
“My coach told me to go to the side of the jab, but I’m south, so I fucked like I was leaving and threw my haven over my top.
According to CompuBox, Davis outlanded Barrios by a 96-93 margin. The two fighters had a total of 17 body shots, but Barrios used a constant attack to slow down Davis late.
