The highly anticipated fight between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia is set to take place on Saturday, and tensions were high at Friday’s weigh-ins. Garcia weighed in at 135½lbs, which was half a pound under the contracted catch-weight of 136lbs. Davis weighed in at 135lbs in front of several thousand spectators who had gathered in Toshiba Plaza ahead of the fight. With neither fighter allowed to have gained more than 10lbs from weigh-in, Garcia will not have his usual freedom to eat and rehydrate. Despite the back-and-forth over the weight stipulations, Garcia maintains his focus remains resolutely on beating Davis.
