Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia results, takeaways: What we learned about each fighter and where they go next

The superfight in Las Vegas provided us with plenty of information that was lacking about both Davis and Garcia
The balance of risk and reward often keeps young, undefeated and extremely popular fighters from stepping into the ring for big showdowns. Gervonta "Tank" Davis and Ryan Garcia decided the reward outweighed the risk and stepped into the ring to face each other inside T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night. In the end, it was Davis who reaped the rewards, scoring a body shot knockout in the seventh round to secure his place as arguably "the face of boxing."
It was a tense contest, with both men having moments, but the biggest belonged to Davis, who also scored a big knockdown on a left hand in the second round.
After years of trash talk and calling for the fight to happen -- and forcing their respective promoters and networks to get a deal done -- one man was always going to walk out a bigger star and the other would be forced to take a step back, regroup and get their career back on track.
