Six foot three and 240 lbs versus five foot nothing and maybe half that weight soaking wet. Not too hard to guess who'd win in a fight, right? Wrong. Young champion Orla Davis demonstrated boxing skills to her schoolmates on Thursday with the help of her coach, Ryan McGivern of Meraki Box, Rapid City, and showed she can hold her own no matter the size of her opponent.
