Four years ago, Ryan Garcia, Teofimo Lopez, Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis were all fledgling lightweights with oversized personalities who were overflowing with talent.
Fortuna asked for the fight to be at 140, not 135, because he admitted he couldn’t make 135. And he was a pudgy 157 in the ring after rehydrating. He was slower and not as sharp as he’d been in the past.
But these are great fighters in their primes who both sell out arenas. They want to fight each other. He was dropped three times, once in the fourth with a wicked left hook to the body that was reminiscent of Micky Ward’s best body punches. He then put Fortuna down with a left to the head in the fifth and stopped him with another left to the head in the sixth.
Davis stopped Mario Barrios for a secondary 140-pound title on June 26, 2021, so he is plenty familiar with the super lightweight division. There have been so many great fights in 2022 already and the promise of a slew more exists. Talks are advancing promisingly to put together a bout between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford for the undisputed welterweight title.
