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

[Twinkledoe]

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.

@OP, maybe you can also put the list of the sites having this match. In bestodds, about 5 sportsbooks are having this match already. Also, the odds in nitrogen also changed. Davis is the favourite so let's see if Santa Cruz will have rigid training for this challenge and show what he's got.

I have updated the OP with the current odds, thanks.

“October 31st is going to be the biggest fight of my career,” Santa Cruz said in a press release Friday to announce the date and site switch of his fight versus Davis. “I’m going to fight a very tough opponent, maybe the toughest opponent of my career. Two titles are going to be on the line, and this will be my first time headlining a pay-per-view. So, I’m doing everything that I can to put on a good show. Davis is known for his power. But I think with my experience and ring IQ, I can break him down. He’s probably going to be very aggressive in the early rounds. But if I do what I’m supposed to do, and execute our game plan, I will win.”

Yes, it will be Leo's toughest fight, but I would say that ring IQ belongs to Davis as well, he is a face first boxer because of his volume punching. I hope that his chin will hold against Davis power punches though, this is going to be an exciting and if Davis wins, possible that a Lopez vs Davis will happen sometime in the future.

[Yaunfitda]

I think the over and under 10.5 rounds is attractive  as compare to ML on Davis. Yes, it will be interesting to see that Leo's chin if Davis touch it with his uppercut, Davis body is compact that's why he can generate so much power in both of his hands. But then again, Leo has the numbers for now, and if he beat Davis here, it will be the year of the underdogs.

Let's see if this is another Loma-Lopez fate of fight.
With the potential audience inside the place, will it affect their performance if someone is actually cheering for them?
Both of them need to prepare as you really can't underestimate the power of one boxer.
You will only see the strength when you are both inside the ring, and sometimes it is already too late to say that you should have seriously prepared for the fight.

[notblox1]

Only few days left for this fight, and it is clear that Gervonta Tank Davis is favorite here, but odds are low.
If we look at his previous fights we can see that he won many fights with TKO or KO.
Leo Santa Cruz is Mexican figther with only one loss, but he is older and weaker fighter here.

I will go with two bets here:
Gervonta Tank win with KO or TKO and fight will not go to distance

[FinneysTrueVision]

I don't know if it was a great idea to allow spectators to watch this fight in the arena with COVID cases rising. Regardless, it shouldn't be a factor in this fight. We shall see how Gervonta looks during the weigh in. If he had trouble making weight again then he will struggle more in this fight than in his last one when he faced the old man Gambo who was also fighting with one good leg.

[Baofeng]

For gamblers who looks juicier odds than Davis ML:



Leo's father was a cancer survivor and almost died of Covid-19:

“My dad means the world to me,” Leo Santa Cruz said. “Everything I have is thanks to him because he pushed me every day.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/leo-santa-cruz-im-fighting-this-fight-my-family-my-dad--152748

For Gamboa, he wants to redeem himself after a dismal performance against  Gamboa

“I watched the Gamboa fight a couple of weeks later and I turned it off. That wasn't my best performance,” said Davis. “That's why now, I moved my training camp to Las Vegas [at Mayweather Boxing Club] so I can be able to put on a better performance. I think that was bad for my fans. I'm definitely coming back stronger and better. I will make it up for my last fight.”

So take your pick, and think of who has more heart and very motivated.

I just finished watching some Youtube stream of both fighters, Leo is really a live dog and very motivated to win this for his father. However, I don't think it will be enough to overcome Davis power. The trick here is to push Davis to fight his fight, meaning from round one, he will need to throw 100 punch and force Davis to either play his game or made him uncomfortable.

If Davis really come prepared, not overweight, trained very hard for full 12 rounds because that's why Leo's gonna give him, then I'm seeing him getting a KO and this fight will not go to the distance. Probably we can see it in the weigh in and see Davis overall health for this fight.

Tank will be more intelligent that absorbing 100 punches per round, he will try to defend it and then give some, he will not go toe to toe with Leo because that's the mistakes of his previous opponents, fighting Leo's territory. So Tank Davis will become more of a counter puncher here, similar to Floyd.

That's Tank weaknesses, if he come over weight that the sign that he didn't come and prepared to fight Leo. But then again, he trains with Floyd so that is a big boost not to be overweight here, so I will say that he is far more trained and focus in this fight more than ever.

Yes of course a great boxer could teach well in his trainee to become a good boxer too.

There are many possibilities that will going to happen and that is Davis will come stronger, smarter and could be more defensive to adapt the style of mayweather. My bet will be to Davis because of this matter and I do like also his boxing skills.

However, I know how good really is Leo in the ring and for that this match is a good to watch.

I am into Davis. I think he will be the one who wins this game because he has a lot of advantages than Leo. And I think he is also doing well on his trainings and he is so determined to win the champ. He has a lot of potentials of being a real and great boxer and also his coach is also an advantage. I bet that most of the people will bet for him rather than leo.

Yes, this is going to be a good match, specially if we see Leo throwing a lot on Davis, and Leo's fight is not boring because of his relentless effort to throw as much punch as he can per round, but the odds are not reflecting it, seems like Davis is the favourite.

But Davis has share some problems before, specially the weight issues, yes he is obviously the bigger guy, but it's hard to to discredit the fact that Leo is a champion as well and shows great heart and passion on his every fight. He avenged his only lost to Carl Frampton, so expect Leo to really gave everything specially that he is a huge underdog in this fight.

Trained by a well known legend is the advantage that he have.,

He can simply adopt the strategy and mental preparedness aside from conditional skills, it's more on strategies and mental advancement that will bring him to win this fight, he already have the punching power and the stamina that he needs but the mental stability that he learned from Mayweather that's really one of the factors that will give him the edge.

It is not automatic that Mayweather being a good fighter, he is also a good trainer and this goes the same to Manny Pacquiao too. Davis is a good fighter, no doubt about that and Mayweather only polishes what is rough on him as he see it.

Leo is a very live dog but i think two consecutive upset in a row won't happen so i'm betting for Davis here via unanimous decision.

What are the chances of two consecutive upset in row? Slim, so yeah, Davis round 5-10 will look for a knock out, if that is not present then obviously if could be a unanimous decision for him. For Leo to win, he will not to have volume + power, which he doesn't have at this weight because he is the smaller boxer here. And Mayweather may have given Davis pointers, so let's see if there's some improvement, easily Floyd's famous pull counter, it will be great if Davis could add that in his arsenals.

I think Gervonta Davis may have a huge possibility to TKO Leo Santa Cruz you can see from his records that most of his fights were knockout and he has only 1 decision that is 22-1 while Santa Cruz has a record of 19-18 1 loss and 1 draw judging by the records Davis has quite a punching power than Leo although Santa Cruz had a huge experience than Davis if Floyd did give him pointers as you have said, this can be really added to his arsenal improving in his counter division.

It is a good point, we rarely see two consecutive upsets but there are many upsets in other sports during these crazy times and it is mainly due to training issues and other restrictions which are above their control and hence anything is possible, Santa Cruz is not having superior punching power than Gervonta Davis but he is really good inside the range and he was never knocked out in his career and if he drags and derails the rhythm of Davis you can see an upset .

[yazher]

This fight has overcome the popularity of Inoue fight this coming Oct 31, because their fight is nothing but a one-man show. this fight on the other hand has the tendency to give us a promising bout in every round since both fighters are capable to knock out each other. we will see another toe to toe match that could end up via knockout.

[BlackFor3st]

I am not that familiar with this two fighters yet so I check their records. Davis has a perfect record but Leo Santa Cruz has an advantage
in experience as Leo has 39 fights overall while Davis only has 23 fights.

Davis has a power as he almost knockout all of his opponents as there is only one that he was unable to knockout which is German Meraz. In my view
I can say that Leo will win this fight if it will last until 12 rounds and none of them will be knockdown but there is a big chances also that Davis
will knockout Leo if he can find an opening in their upcoming fight.

Leo's father was a cancer survivor and almost died of Covid-19:

“My dad means the world to me,” Leo Santa Cruz said. “Everything I have is thanks to him because he pushed me every day.”

This is why a lot of people are supporting the underdog Santa Cruz. If he wins it would be the feel good story of the year. A lot of people can relate to what he's been through with his father. Tank on the other hand is seen as a villain who beats women. He will always have people against him for that reason similar to his promoter Floyd who was also accused of domestic abuse. It should be easy for the fans in Texas to pick who to root for since Santa Cruz is Mexican but the emotional aspect just makes the support more intense.
