One question could decide their fight

By Mohamed Bahaa

One of the most anticipated boxing events is the fight between Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson. The lightweight bout should be interesting as two different approaches would compete against each other.

Shakur Stevenson is only 27 years old and holds the WBC lightweight title and is a three-weight world champion. Celebrated for his defensive skills and strategic approach, Stevenson embodies the traditional boxing concept of “hit and don't get hit.” Despite having a great record, his recent performances, while strong, have been criticized for a lack of excitement and crowd motivation.

In contrast, undefeated WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis is known for his explosive action in the ring. With 30 wins to his name, including 28 knockouts, Davis is a boxer who excels in knockout skills. He is often willing to skip the early rounds, but is confident that his strength will tip the fight in his favor.

When asked about Stevenson's abilities, Davis immediately questioned the threat his opponent posed, pointing out in particular Stevenson's alleged lack of punching power.

Davis asked Stevenson what he would do if he got hit, as he lacked the power to punch, a question that could determine the outcome of the encounter.

After Vasiliy Lomachenko pulled out of negotiations, a fight between Davis and Stevenson seemed within reach. Now Stevenson is set to face former super featherweight champion Joe Cordina. However, the idea of ​​a future clash between these two lightweight giants intrigues boxing fans, with Davis' question hanging in the air as a deciding factor in the winner.

While fans are excited at the prospect of this high-stakes fight, the different approaches of Davis and Stevenson promise an interesting story. In sharp contrast to Stevenson's measured and defensive technique is Davis' sustained aggressiveness and knockout power. The boxing community is closely watching as both fighters go down different paths, hoping for a fight that could shape the lightweight division for years to come.
