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

[DarkDays]

Leo Santa Cruz is no joke, but odds are he's going to get KO'd by Davis.

I expect Cruz will be up on the score cards for much of the fight, but I think Gervonta Davis will land a combination to put him to sleep in the middle to late rounds.

I highly doubt if it goes the distance Davis will win on points, since he'll probs be outscored by Cruz, but that's very unlikely given Davis' knockout record.

He's like a mini Deontay Wilder, he's got dynamite in those little ass gloves 

My bet is in knockout victory for Davis in 7-10 rounds.

In the fields of boxing, it is hard to guess if who is wins except for their respective strength they are both good and hardworking. we could not be hiding that in reality, Gervonta Davis is too much older in the fields of boxing which are comparing to Leo Santa Cruz if we are thinking about the power punch according to the research the left hook of Leo Santa Cruz is very strong so I think this coming event is very nice.

I have to disagree with you here mate. Winners in the boxing match is not so hard to predict that is why we have an overwhelming favorite in betting, if you bet on the heavy favorite, most like betting sites will let you win 1% of your bet.

On this fight, Santa Cruz is the underdog here i suppose since the stronger puncher here would be Davis. Upset could happen but IMO, it's has a slim chance to happen in this fight unless Sta. Cruz will KO Davis but that's not going to happen.

What sites have good betting odds for this match? Haven't checked this match yet. But yes, if you bet in the heavy favourite, definitely the percentage you will get is low. And if you follow both of their careers, you will know which has high chance to win inside the ring.

[Shasha80]

I am very sure that Gervonta will win this boxing match easily, if you look at Gervonta's fighting style, which does not rely solely on punches
hard, but Gervonta including boxers who play smart with technical. Leo Santa Cruz is not really a bad boxer, but all Boxing fans know that
Gervonta's abilities and experience are still much better.

What you are saying here doesn't make sense, too much older in the field of boxing? Or do you mean Davis has the experience? In terms of experience I will give it to Leo Santa Cruz, but it doesn't matter if your opponent is better than you. Yes, Leo has a good left hook, but you also have to research who has the better knock out percentage. This is not 122 or 126 lbs that Leo used to be putting people down. This is 130 lbs in which Davis weight, although he has problems making it, but I think he will make the cut this time.

Very well explain, we only have 2 fighters in the ring and to put our bets so I don't know how difficult it is to bet and predict who are going to win because we have odds. 

On this fight, Santa Cruz is the underdog here i suppose since the stronger puncher here would be Davis. Upset could happen but IMO, it's has a slim chance to happen in this fight unless Sta. Cruz will KO Davis but that's not going to happen.

Davis should be the more powerful puncher here, it's just the law of science, short distance to travel, shorter fighter generates explosiveness which Davis possesses.

[Baofeng]

Just a short update on this fight:

“This is the biggest fight of my career. It is the fight I always wanted and my first pay per view that I headline. So, I am really, excited,” Leo Santa Cruz told Fightnews.com®. “I am motivated and training hard for this fight. No one gives me a shot, but I am going to shock the world.”

“I was active during quarantine. I stopped for about a month because my dad got the virus. He wasn’t doing well but he’s good now,” Santa Cruz stated. “I’m back in camp now the preparation is going well we started last week as we start to train more, and we will be stepping it up. I will do everything that way I come well prepared for the fight,”

So he is really motivated and focused on this fight against Davis. I'm not saying that no one is giving him a shot, but his chances are very slim. For sure Davis wanted to bounce back from his poor performance against an old Gamboa. So it's a battle of grit, but I'm still backing Davis to win this fight.

[Baofeng]

It's time for Davis to share his thoughts about the fight,

"He’s coming with his output, a lot of punches, he throws more than me. I’m coming and hit hard. It’s just about who wants it the most, who can dish it out and take it too,” Davis told the Last Stand Podcast with Brian Custer. “I don’t think my power will be too much because he’s a veteran. He’s been in there with guys who had power. It’s about who comes out there and is perfect that night. It will show if my power is too much for him. It might be a short night. It will come down to whoever wants it more.”

So he knows that Santa Cruz is a volume puncher and he is prepared for it. So volume vs accurate and hard puncher. A classic brawler vs technical fighter here.

The problem is that Sta. Cruz doesn't have a pop on his punches and I don't think it will be enough as Davis have shown that his chin can handle it. If Sta. Cruz could have that sting, similar to Pacquaio during his prime and hitting you at any angle, then he has a chance against Tank. Another thing to mention is that he is not that fast at this weight, Davis is, so Tank can elude and escape and he is too technical as well, with Floyd as his trainer or at least giving him pointers.

I always go for a technical fighter because they have more arsenals than a brawler, a brawler just comes after you with volume punches disregarding timing and powers, while a technical boxer can always get you with his counter punching and he can knock you down if you are caught off guard and Davis is a very good technical fighter.

I agree, brawler will just be a brawler, and when they are push, they don't know how to react. And besides, they don't have a good defense, because for they their offense is their best defense. As compare to technical fighters, who are defensive genius, know the sweet science of boxing, to hit and not get hit.

Not unless Davis, become too cocky and aggressive and then hit with a punch that he didn't see.

To hit and not get hit just like Mayweather  but Davis is different from him as he is not a runner, he would engage in a brawl if needed and we all know who will end up in the canvass and that's not him. Agree with Baofeng that the chance for Leo to win is very slim that is why he is very motivated to train hard because if ever he can upset Davis, there is so much money for him in the rematch. The same with Davis, he can't be too overconfident here as this might cause complication on his next fight with the big names of this division.

[bunglor]

in regards to experience, santa cruz has an advantage together with achievements also as santa cruz is currently holding 2 tiles while davis is still on pursue of it. davis can't be belittle also because of it's punching power as he was able to KO his 22 opponents out of 23 wins. if this fight will reach to 12 round, i am in favor for santa cruz.

[Yaunfitda]

There's a lot of stake here, specially for Gervonta Davis, I agree with @bisdak40, his no way close to Mayweather in terms of defense, he has this kind of thing like every boxer does, if he gets him, he wanted to give it back right away. So there will be instance in the fight that we will engage Leo in a brawl and then get out, it will not be like Floyd who runs a run, or at least prevent a full out brawl.

This fight is still more than one month away, as it is scheduled for 24th October. I haven't decided whether I should make a bet or not, but there is a lot of media hype surrounding this bout. Davis is reported to be training under Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather spent some time last month training Devin Haney as well. On the other hand, I haven't heard much about Leo Santa Cruz during the past few days.

Root for Davis, this guy is from Mars that can avoid whichever the punches come from, me may be younger but can knock with just a single punch.

Santa Cruz is ranking up his weight, this could be uncharted for him, its a slim chance for him to get used to new weight class in a short period of time. Unlike Davis who doesn't have to fast to achieve weight.

[Baofeng]

Agree, if Leo's punch has just enough sting then maybe he will be an elite fighter by now. But he turns out to be the usual Mexican brawler. Pacquaio is very different though, it has power and the angle.

Tank and Floyd is not even comparable though, and for sure fans here like Tank's style more than Floyd. Again, not to take away anything from Leo, but he doesn't have the tools to upset Davis here. Volume punching will not be enough.

[Baofeng]

Odds are already in guys, as per Nitrogen:



Davis odds? Not attractive, but it's obviously that Tank is the favourite, so it you wanted to get huge returns, you need to get as much money that you can bet as you can.

[Baofeng]

Just to let you know, the fight has been moved to Oct 31. The reason? there will be fans in attendance.

The next major boxing Pay-Per-View event is officially on the move.

Gervonta Davis and Leo Santa Cruz now have a new date and a firm location for their anticipated two-belt title fight showdown. Their originally scheduled October 24 Showtime PPV headliner will now take place one week later, moving to October 31 and to take place at The Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, three sources with intimate knowledge of the development confirmed to BoxingScene.com on Wednesday.

So this is really a good development, and I'm sure this will generate more hype and more money for this fight. And at least boxing fans could watch it live in the covid-19 situation.

I was looking at some video of Davis' media workout and he is wearing a sauna suit. It makes me wonder if he is having problems making weight. We have seen him blow up in weight in between fights before and he is not known as the most disciplined person. He might need to bring in a nutritionist which is what Teofimo Lopez did last year when he was having trouble staying at 135 and it seems to have worked out for him.
