The much-anticipated boxing showdown between Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis happened this weekend. Like most boxing fans around the nation, most of the NFL players, including Lamar Jackson, tuned in to watch the exciting event.

On Saturday, two of the young stars in boxing went to war as Ryan Garcia (23-1) tried to dethrone Gervonta Davis (29-0) as the face of the sport. However, Davis’ power and technique proved to be too much for Garcia to handle. Davis floored Garcia in the second round with a clean left hook before finishing him in round 7 with a vicious body blow.

Garcia took a hard hit on his body and went down on his knee. The 24-year-old Garcia could not recover from the body blow and Davis was crowned the winner by TKO. “I’m definitely the face of boxing,” Davis said after the fight. “Everybody already knew that.“

Davis won the fight with a clean hit, but many people thought the fight was rigged since Garcia refused to get up after the body shot. Some fans on social media were convinced the bout was rigged and the Ravens QB Lamar Jackson chimed had to chime in with his take. “Get hit in your rib by tank and let me know if it’s rigged [Laughing emojis],” replied the Ravens quarterback to the fan who insinuated the fight might be rigged.

The Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is still fighting for a second contract in the NFL. He was drafted by the Ravens in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Since then, he has been the face of the franchise.

The talented QB has won the league MVP award, has been to 2 Pro Bowl, and was named to the first-team All-Pro squad one time. Despite all of his accomplishments in the league, the 26-year-old quarterback is struggling to get a second contract in the NFL.

Many people believe it was because Lamar Jackson demanded a fully guaranteed contract similar to the one the Cleveland Browns gave Deshaun Watson. Some teams are reportedly not ready to give a fully guaranteed contract to Jackson, who has missed 10 games in the last 2 regular seasons due to injuries.

After finishing his rookie deal in 2021, Jackson played for the Ravens under the fifth-year option in 2022 and now he has been placed under the non-exclusive franchise tag worth $32.4 million. He might have to play for the Ravens under the tag to get the contract he desires in the 2024 off-season.
