Sean O’Malley was shocked when Gervonta Davis finished Ryan Garcia with a body shot.
On Saturday night, Davis and Garcia met inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, for one of the most talked about boxing matches of the year. In the seventh round, ‘Tank’ dropped ‘King Ry' with a body punch, leading to a TKO win for the undefeated Baltimore native.
O’Malley, a UFC bantamweight, watched the event with a camera set up for his live reaction. Once the fight-ending sequence occurred, ‘Sugar’ had this to say:
“Did he drop him to the body? Was that a liver shot? Oh sh*t, oh sh*t. I didn’t even get to see it. No. He dropped him with a body shot… That was a fast 10 count. He did outbox him, he really f*cking did.”
Davis’ win against Garcia extended his boxing record to 29-0. Although he currently doesn’t hold any undisputed world titles, ‘Tank’ has solidified himself as one of the biggest superstars in boxing.

Walk out was hard. Still feel like I piece him low key
Before focusing on a boxing crossover, O’Malley has plenty of challenges waiting in the UFC. He last fought in October, securing a split decision win against Petr Yan. As a result, the 28-year-old emerged as the number one-ranked UFC bantamweight.
On May 6, Aljamain Sterling will look to defend his 135-pound title against Henry Cejudo at UFC 288. O’Malley plans to wait until that fight plays out and take on the winner for the bantamweight strap.
