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

[bisdak40]

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.

I think the other reason why this fight is much talked about than Inoue vs Moloney because of the fact that Davis is an American fighter and Santa Cruz, though a Mexican but he is basing on Texas, They are more popular than Inoue in American soil.

Inoue fighting in America this weekend, it is his first big fight in the US and this is some sort of an introduction of him on the gamblers in Las Vegas and to the American boxing fans.

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.

If Santa Cruz will win this fight, bettors who are rooting for him will win more than 5x of their bet, that is, according to the odds in online crypto bookies.
But for fiat betting, I don't know the odds in play here.
If the underdog will win again this time, then, maybe, this year is really the time of underdogs.
So Inoue should really be careful with Moloney inside the ring.

I think the other reason why this fight is much talked about than Inoue vs Moloney because of the fact that Davis is an American fighter and Santa Cruz, though a Mexican but he is basing on Texas, They are more popular than Inoue in American soil.

Santa Cruz though is LA based, that's why the fight with Abner Mares for the featherweight crown was really a bragging rights as Mares is also from California, damn that was was explosive from the first bell.

Inoue fighting in America this weekend, it is his first big fight in the US and this is some sort of an introduction of him on the gamblers in Las Vegas and to the American boxing fans.

Yes, while Moloney is also not American, so it makes sense not although Inoue is a monster, he is fighting an unknown fighter in the US soil, and then it was a mismatch. So fans prefer the Davis vs Santa Cruz fight obviously.

You make a good point but being an American was not the reason why Gervonta Davis and Leo Santa Cruz fight gain more popularity than Inoue and Moloney fight.
I guess you're not aware that Floyd Mayweather Jr being Davis promoter and the level of Davis reputation in boxing either is what makes the fight to be the talk of the town. Mind you, Davis seems to be ready to make a new record in the PPV business.

Floyd Mayweather Jr has a gem in Davis I hope Mayweather can broker a fight with some of the tought fighters in the division like Ryan Garcia, Lopez to be the man you have to beat the man that's what they are saying in boxing and if Mayweather wants his boxer to be the best of the best like him he should go for the best in any division like he did to his career.

Then he need the discipline to be the next Floyd Mayweather, if I remember correctly AB (Adrien Broner) used to hang up with Floyd and was pretty tight with him, and trying to be the next Floyd until both have a fall out. I don't know what's the reason, but after he lost to Maidana, it's basically over for AB (About Billions) LOL.

So let's see if Davis is different though, if he has that A-Factor to be the next Floyd and cleaning up the division and facing tough opponents, with Ryan Garcia or Teo Lopez at 130-135 division.

No doubt for me who will win this fight, and only question I have is how Gervonta Davis will defeat Santa Cruz, KO, TKO or decision
Bet on KO or TKO does look nice for me, and I think that fight will not go to distance.
Floyd Mayweather trained with him before this fight and gave him all his knowledge.

If Mayweather Jr have a gem in Davis it a sign that he saw some kind of promising future in him aside from that, if you watch some of his previous fights you'll understand that the guy is not playing cause is serious about his boxing career and him fighting the tough in the division is a step at a time.

Davis is discipline in the aspect of training and others activities that have to do with his boxing career. Besides, he seems to have the act of go and win like Mayweather Jr. But i also dont the reason for the fall out between Adrien and i think it will be because of the money cause i once Adrien post on Instagram about his contract with Mayweather jr promotion.

Davis and Ryan Garcia have exchanged words on social media and i think they will face each other next year if everything works out as planned but the thing that matters now is the upcoming fight for the two champions cause I hear that Ryan will face Luke Campbell in December

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.

[Baofeng]

Both fighters look calm in the final presser, and Davis seems to have settled down in weight. And Davis is the favourite to win by knock out or unanimous decision here. If he wanted to be the next PPV King just like Floyd, then he needs to KO Sta Cruz in fashion and don't fight Leo's fight. He should dart in and out, uppercut and left hook while pushing Sta Cruz on the defense and wait for that right opening to put him to sleep.

The odds changed a lil bit in sportsbooks.
Now, you will earn only about 13-14% of your bet, down from 16-18% if you place on Davis.
Whereas, for Santa Cruz it increased to 5.6-5.9 from 4.7-5.1.
Seems that the bookies are really favouring Davis here, no doubt.
Hope this is not like the Loma-Lopez fate here.

a
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.

Yes, I think being one of Floyd's protege it is already a privilege for Davis and that' why their camp should be better and there should be no overweight issues, because otherwise, it will reflect on Floyd himself.

He said on the press conference that he will not go and try to fight Leo's fight. So for sure he will be very defensive like Mayweather and then adapt to Leo's aggressive style of boxing.

Mayweather: If Tank Gets Past Leo, 1 More Fight, Then Hopefully Teofimo Fight Can Be Made.

“If you guys are basically asking, Tank is not scared of anyone,” Mayweather said during an episode of “First Take,” which aired live Thursday morning. “And the reason why we are not able to make certain fights with Top Rank is because of – it just, like I said before, and I talked about this other day as far as so many belts, so many champions. But if we can sit down and come to the table, I think if Tank gets past Leo, which I truly believe he can, it may not be easy, but then we move on and we fight one more fight. Then, hopefully, a fight with Teofimo can be made.”

It make sense, the question is who is going to fight next after Tank get past Leo this Sunday? Haney? Garcia? Stevenson? or Loma?

So for those who questions Davis about his weight issues, here are your answer.

WEIGHTS

WBA Super Featherweight / WBA Lightweight World Championship – 12 Rounds

Gervonta Davis – 129 ¾ lbs.

Leo Santa Cruz – 129 ½ lbs.

Referee: Rafael Ramos; Judges: Glenn Feldman (Conn.), Alejandro Rochin (Calif.), David Sutherland (Okla.)

https://www.boxingscene.com/photos-gervonta-davis-leo-santa-cruz-ready-war-texas--152866

So he weigh in at  a trim 129 lbs, we can't see his face obviously if he is drained or not with face mask on, but it seems he has no problem with this fight making the 130 lbs weight.

I watched the weigh in and Tank decided to do the weigh in naked. While watching the programming that Showtime did to build up this fight I also noticed that Tank did a lot of his training in a sauna suit. These are all signs that he probably struggled to cut weight. He should be recovered by tomorrow night but I don't see his staying at this weight for his next fight.

[Kemarit]

I think the most important thing is that Tank was able to make the weight cut in his first try, Lol, if he hadn't they for sure he may have lost his belt in the scale. So definitely he will rehydrate in the next 24 hours to recover some weight and maybe he will be around 135-140 pounds come fight night.

So LSC will be at the disadvantage at every angle here, but I do hope that he will give the fans a explosive fight even if the betting public goes in favor of Davis.

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.

I don't think it's going to be an impressive win if Gervonta wins Leo Sta Cruz is a moving forward volume puncher, the big question that Sta Cruz needs to address is can he take the fight to Gervonta can he connect those volume punches that he is going to unleash, Sta Cruz can punch but he needs to hit a moving target and Gervonta is good at it, it's one exciting match, let's see if the outcome will surprise us just like what happen to the Loma - Lopez fights.

Sta Cruz punch doesn't have a pop so I think Davis can take it and he has proven up to now that he has a good chin. I'm sure Sta Cruz are going to take and moves forward and chase Davis all night long and he will connect. But he doesn't have a knock out punch so that's one drawback on him. Sure, he can go and throw 100 punch a round, but it has no effect or Davis, just weaving his head and hitting Leo, then it will just be a matter of time for Davis to go for a knock-out.
