WBA Super Featherweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis put on a solid performance Saturday evening with a dominant first-round knockout over late sub Hugo "Cuatito" Perez of Mexico in front of a sold-out crowd at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, CA and a nationally-televised Showtime audience.
Davis walked to the ring for the main event accompanied by dancers who performed to Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Once the bout started, Davis immediately went to work landing hard shots to Ruiz's body and forcing him into the corner. Late in the first, Davis landed a wicked right hook that stunned Ruiz and dropped him to one knee. Ruiz got up but was not in any shape to continue. Referee Jack Reiss stopped the contest at 2:59 of the first.
Davis is now 21-0 with 20 knockouts and has stopped his last 12 opponents. Eight of Davis's 20 KO's have come in the first round. Ruiz falls to 39-5, 33 KO's.
