Anyone who has fought at the highest level will know that the kind of body shot thrown by Gervonta Davis is impossible to defend.
Garcia was down in the second round to a backhand. He was on top of Davis and got nailed with a short left.
It happens and he recovered well from that.
The shot that ended the fight in the seventh was a short left into the ribcage. It hit him in the floating ribs. There is no protection there.
That was my thing. I became expert at that. A left to the head would raise the opponent's hands, creating a gap of about four inches.
