‘He flies into you with every ounce of power’: Mike Tyson talks up Gervonta Davis and says his punch is like ‘a gun being fired’ ahead of HUGE Las Vegas showdown with Ryan Garcia tonight

One of the most iconic boxers in the sports history had praise for Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis before Saturday night’s highly anticipated prize fight against Ryan Garcia in Las Vegas.

In an interview with TMZ, Mike Tyson spoke about the comparisons being tossed around between him and the current WBA lightweight champion.

Despite not weighing nearly as much as ‘Iron’ Mike, Tyson said that Davis’ fight style is similar to his own – especially when it comes to how they throw punches.

Even though Davis is much shorter (5-foot-5.5) than Garcia (5-foot-10), Tyson said that he shouldn’t have any trouble in the ring.

‘Tank is very comfortable fighting taller people because when he fights he catapults himself, and pushes himself in the air,’ Tyson explained.

‘So it makes it very difficult to stop his attack cause it’s very awkward when you’re in the air, normally you have no power.

‘But, the way which he catapults himself, it’s almost like a gun being fired. He flies right into you with every ounce of power he has.’

Tyson continued, saying, ‘I understood them now when they say he fights like Mike Tyson ’cause he flies through the air which is normally bad positioning, you have no power in the air.

‘But, for him and myself, our stoutness to the ground, as I said before, catapults us like being shot like a bow and arrow and the force is unstoppable.’

But Tyson says that Davis is not a one-dimensional fighter, saying that he’s got plenty of tricks up his sleeves.

Tyson also had praise for Davis’ rival in this bout – Ryan Garcia – and his nasty left hook

‘Tank has a lot of arsenal, he’s got a lot of ammunition in his arsenal, and he can box,’ the former heavyweight champion said.

‘He’s a great boxer, he’s a great, aggressive fighter, he has a great jab, and he’s an all-around good fighter. They call him short 5’5′, but he can do it all pretty much.’

Tyson also had praise for Garcia – the current betting underdog in the fight – and the powerful left hook that has led him to his 23-0 record.

‘He throws his left hook but he throws it in combinations as well,’ Tyson explained. ‘So it’s not just one punch. Periodically he throws it one at a time, but basically its in combinations.’
