In addition to bragging rights, the winner of this contest would become the face of boxing in the U.S., and it would be Davis who earned this accolade. 

Despite a fast start from Garcia, Davis made his presence felt with a left hook which floored his opponent in round two. Garcia managed to meet the referee's count, but despite showing tremendous courage, Davis continued to control the fight, showcasing his boxing ability and creating a comfortable lead on the judges' scorecards.

Davis then brought the fight to an early end in round seven with a brutal left to the body which forced Garcia to take a knee who shortly after failed to rise to his feet and forced the referee to stop the contest.
