Conor McGregor has words of encouragement for Ryan Garcia following KO loss to Gervonta Davis: "You're the future of this game"

Fernando Quiles Jr. - April 23, 2023

UFC megastar Conor McGregor believes the Ryan Garcia story is far from over. Garcia went one-on-one with Gervonta “Tank” Davis in a high-profile fight between two bright undefeated boxing stars. “Tank” struck early, flooring an overzealous Garcia in the second round. “KingRy” appeared to be tentative after being dropped and his hooks lacked the force that fight fans had grown accustomed to seeing from him. Davis took his time before forcing Garcia to take a knee after delivering a beautiful body shot in the seventh round. Garcia couldn’t beat the 10-count and “Tank” Davis improved his pro boxing record to 29-0.
