[Boxing]: Gervonta Davis vs Leo Santa Cruz - Oct 31

[FinneysTrueVision]

The fight was surprisingly more competitive than expected. However, Davis still got the knockout and it was one of the most impressive ones  I've seen this year but now it's time for him to face a natural lightweight fighter. Enough of having his record protected and trying to marinate a fight with Lopez, Haney, Loma, Garcia. Those are the guys he should be fighting instead of natural featherweights like Santa Cruz.

Damn, what a brutal KO...

Santa Cruz was already out even before his body landed on the canvass but glad that he is okay though.

Yeah, agree with you @FinneysTrueVision, the real fight for him now is on the lightweight division but the thing with Davis is that he is handled by Mayweather would like to cherry pick opponents for his fighter.

That knock out is very scary Sta Cruz was motionless for a minute it was a well timed uppercut he waited for the opening to come out and when he threw the straight he time his uppercut, really brutal knock out much better than the Inoue Moloney fight.

Now this things will heat up and Davis needs to go for big paycheck and big fights like a fight with Teofimo Lopez or Ryan Garcia.

I did not expected this to end like that Knockout Santa Cruz was Good than this but of course in Boxing every punch counts and if this landed rightful and in timing?Surely opponent will land in floor in KO .

But the Mexican Boxer will surely recover and make his other fight more competent and avoid this kind of losing.

Too big, too good and too strong, yes it should be competitive as expected same as the KO. There's a lot of lightweight out there and that division is fully stack up with great fighters, so I'm sure Davis won't run out of opponents specially big and brandish like Lopez Haney or Garcia, don't forget about Shakur Stevenson as well. Let's see what path will Mayweather give his protegee.

Leo was actually winning that round, he started to find his rhythm even though there was a low blow, unfortunately, he was caught with a powerful upper and it was scary to see him lying down for minutes in the canvass.

I do agree that he should face a natural lightweight. Davis camp say they were surprised to hear Leo calling them out. Anyways, a statement win, and expected as the division is open up with a lot of young and exciting fighters vying to be the best at 130-135 lbs.

Actually their fight today reminds me of Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 fight where you see Pacquiao was got the advantage in all rounds except when he caught with a counter punch from Marquez. that's exactly what happened today and that uppercut is powerful enough to knock out anyone in that weight division. It could be a knockout of the year since the Inoue and Maloney was a one-sided fight. Unlike this one, they are having toe to toe with no backing out.

Gervonta Davis have being busy training, thirsty for fight ever since the pandemic issue and his boxing records which his KO percentage stands at 95.5% shows him to more a KO fellow so I will expect him to win this Saturday fight through KO at rounds 3.

I know Gervonta wants to show off so he can be sell off more future fights like a fight with Teofimo Lopez who just come out from a very impressive win against Loma but Sta Cruz is not a patsy and he is also a champion, Sta Cruz chances is not that good but he will come out and give Gervonta a good fight, an upset here could become the upset of the year, but it's unlikely to happen.

Small chance but still we never knows what will be the outcome of this fight, Davis camps surely wants to have an impressive win to sell their fighter.

He need to showcase his talent to get more big offers, every fighters who wanted to make a breakout to their careers needs to bring their best in  each opportunities.

But just like you've said Sta. Cruz in the other hands also have the same desire upset will also
be a good turning point to his career. No one knows.

Whats a wonderful fight and I respect the way Davis got everything under control despite Cruz trying to knock him out. I'm sure yesterday fight convinced you that Gervonta Davis do whatever he can to win the fight which mean he totally showcase his talent and more big offers are definitely await him.
With that been said, I expected Davis to knock hin out at the 3rd round before the fight but it all good that the knockout happened at the 6th round.

It was really one hell of a fight, Leo gave everything in this fight, there's nothing to be ashamed of fighting elite and champion Davis here. I thought that the fight was going to be extended, as Leo was really taking Davis punch, but just like in boxing, punches that you do see hurt. So yes, in this case, Leo didn't see the upper cut coming, wasn't able to protect his chin. Congrats to Tank Davis for living up to the hype. Let's wait for Ryan Garcia's next fight or Devin Haney and see if they are going to call out Davis or Lopez.

Could be KO of the year, I agree, the uppercut is one of the best weapon in his tools, he has been throwing that all night, but Sta Cruz was able to block it early. But it was so fast and vicious that he didn't have time to react and as soon it hits Leo chin's, it's done as you can see in his eyes and body. Leo come in ready, his usual volume punching, but Davis was prepared and since Leo is taller, that upper is the perfect punch because taller fighter seems to crouch down when moving forward. He is really following Floyd to be the next PPV attraction if he continues to win with KO.

Yup, nothing to be ashamed on the part of Santa Cruz as he did not back down from the challenge on fighting elite fighters. That may not be case on Davis as i saw a lot of post on social media saying that he should not be fighting a smaller fighter than him hehehe.

That uppercut was really timed and Santa Cruz just did not saw that coming. He really is a technical fighter with a heavy punch that can knock opponents out cold. Hope to see Haney vs Davis soon.

[NavI_027]

Yeah! I guess even the hardest chins can't even survive that fast brutal uppercut . But in all fairness, Leo fight back blow by blow thus props to him. Actually, he is doing great all throughout the rounds and got a chance to beat Davis but everything went wrong when the knockout punch came. He was able to pressured Davis by his consistent offensive mode and made clear shots as well. All in all, it was an explosive match. Leo proved us that he is not a cheap fighter, he is high caliber one.

What do you guys think would be the next fight of Davis? Hmm.

Gervonta Davis is on the hype right now because of that devastating knock out, Floyd told the press to let Davis celebrate the win first, before thinking of the next opponent, Ryan Garcia wants to have a piece of him I have seen a lot of Ryan's Garcia shouting to bring the contract and he'll sign right away, this will be a good fight two knock out artist going at each other to see who really has the power.

Right, let Davis celebrate his win first, everyone will get a piece of him that's for sure. Again, the division is laden with so much young talents that they can just face each other in a tournament like the tournament that Inoue won beating Donaire. But I don't know if that is possible, with too much ego amongst them, lol. And regardless of who he is going to face next, they should be wary of Davis power. Ryan Garcia's strength is that he is tall and lanky and utilises his jab to not let Davis get's inside, plus he also have a knock out punch.

Arranging boxing match is not that easy as it depends on their promoters. Of course, they will assess if they will get their huge payout first. Because they need to look also for the monetary gain not only what the fighter wants. If they can create noise among boxing fans, and they can see huge money in play, would be easy for them to decide.
