The 36-year-old Ugas wasn’t allowed to continue by a ringside physician due to severe swelling around his right eye. Las Vegas’ Ugas hasn’t fought since Spence stopped him in the 10th round of their welterweight title unification fight last April 16 at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The third-rated Crowley (21-0, 9 KOs), of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, and the sixth-ranked Ramos (27-5-2, 21 KOs), of Casa Grande, Arizona, will square off in a 12-rounder Showtime will air as part of its pay-per-view undercard March 25, when super middleweights David Benavidez (26-0, 23 KOs) and Caleb Plant (22-1, 13 KOs) will meet in the 12-round main event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. That’s what he’s good at, that’s what he’s great at.The Cuban-born Ugas (27-5, 12 KOs) or San Antonio’s Barrios (27-2, 18 KOs) also could be ordered by the WBC to defend his title against the winner of that sanctioning organization’s upcoming elimination match in which Cody Crowley will battle Abel Ramos. It was an overall win, it’s entertainment. What Floyd did, he did a great job and we seen Floyd not at his best, but he’s still at his best, you know.

We ain’t doing something right if we ain’t got doubters, so I’m focused on getting the job done June 26.īeing that you’re signed under Floyd Mayweather, what was your reaction to the Logan Paul fight and how do you feel about pro boxers engaging in exhibitions overall? I always believe that I’m better than the next man, as far as the opponent I have in the ring, so it doesn’t matter about doubters. They doubted me a lot, that’s why I’m here. What do you say to people who doubt you’ll be able to pull off the victory against a bigger fighter? Your next fight is against Barrios, an undefeated opponent that’s a few inches taller and heavier than you. I mean, it’s great, it’s great for boxing. The lightweight division includes big names like yours, Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia and Teófimo López, and is known as one of the premier weight classes in boxing…how does it feel for your class of fighters to be compared with the four Kings of, Duran, Hearns, Leonard and Hagler? We dare to be great, so we’re walking that line towards greatness. It would mean a lot, that’s why we’re doing it. What would it mean for you to become a champion in three weight classes at the same time? I asked him to go onto his show and speak with him and talk to him face to face.Ī post shared by Gervonta Davis victory over Mario Barrios would earn you a title at 140, adding to your belts at 130 and 135. We went live with each other and talked about our fights coming up, that’s about it. What’s your relationship with Mike Tyson like? You’ve been compared to Mike Tyson due to your impressive knockout ratio.

I’d say Floyd, Sugar Ray and Pernell Whitaker. Who are your favorite three boxers of all-time? My daughter motivates me, most importantly. It’s been a long time since, I’ve been doing good.

I’ve been focused, man, I’ve been focused. What would you say are other moments of adversity you’ve had to overcome throughout your life and how did those experiences mold you as a man? I’ve had a lot of good knockouts, but I would say it’s ranked number one because of the Pay-Per-View and the way I knocked him out. Where does that fight rank on your resume? Your last fight with Leo Santa Cruz ended in a vicious knockout, which many deemed the best of the year. What about them connected y’all where you could find common ground?

If Davis, who is favored in the fight, can achieve that feat with a victory over Barrios, he will have etched his name in history and silenced all critics while inching up the list of best pound-for-pound fighters in the game. Barrios’ height, frame, and punching power have given some analysts and fans cause to pause when assessing whether Davis can continue his streak and become one of only a handful of fighters to simultaneously hold title belts in three different divisions. This Saturday, on June 26, Davis will face off against Mario Barrios, an undefeated champion in the 140lb division. However, he found a refuge through boxing and managed to escape that harsh reality to become a multi-division champion, as he currently holds a title belt in the 130lb division, as well as 135lbs.

Davis, who totes a professional record of 24-0 (with 23 of those victories via knockout), comes from Baltimore, Maryland, where he endured the tumultuous childhood chronicled in many rap songs firsthand, from parents struggling with drug addiction to surviving a crime infested where one misplaced step can land you behind bars or the grave.
