Davis is known as one of the best knockout artists in the sport. He's finished 26 of the 28 opponents to step in the ring with him, including a trio of knockouts since 2020 to receive critical acclaim. He brutally finished Leo Santa Cruz in 2020 with a hellacious uppercut. He battered Mario Barrios with four knockdowns before the referee waved the fight off in 2021. And Davis obliterated Rolando Romero with a left hook in 2022.
"All he talks about is that one punch. I only need one too. I touch that jaw and I'm telling you, you're going to sleep. I'll probably break your jaw," Davis said at the final press conference. "We're here. Enough with the talking. I'm ready to get down and dirty. I'm from Baltimore city and you'll see how we turn it come Saturday. See y'all then."
CBS Sports will also have live coverage of the fight with round-by-round scoring and blow-by-blow updates to keep you up to date throughout the night.
Garcia, meanwhile, brings more balance to his attack. His speed is his biggest weapon, but he can also put an opponent's lights out in a flash. Garcia has finished 19 of the 23 foes he's faced, including Javier Fortuna in his most recent outing and Luke Campbell in 2021.
