Liam Walsh Defends Gervonta Davis Over Jake Paul Exhibition

“I only met him when he fought Ryan, and he just seems a sound, decent lad – decent, hard grafting lad, so I do like him and I do like this fight for him as well,” he explained. “I think it’s a winnable fight – obviously it’s winnable because he’s in this position for a reason, but what I mean by that is that we’ve seen vulnerabilities in Mason, haven’t we? He’s been knocked down a couple of times; he’s only ever done six rounds, I think. So there’s a lot of question marks there, so if you are going to get a world-title fight, then this is definitely one that you’d jump at. You’re not fighting a Gervonta or a Shakur or somebody who’s tried and tested and comes with huge knockout power. I know Abdullah has cracked a few but he’s been cracked as well, so I do like the fight for him and I hope he can get the job done.
