I didn't score the fight. I just watched it and enjoyed it. I felt Davis did enough boxing and scoring to win on points. Cruz made it a tough fight though. Davis looked like he wanted to quit after round 11.
I recommend every one consider doing this rather than trying to "score" the fight. Life is short, and you can score the fight later.

In order to maintain my sanity... seeing how judges just don't score fights objectively... I made a pact with myself: I don't score fights, I don't look at a fight as who hit who with more punches, or the insane punch stat... which is off off and off with the count... I look at who made a bigger statement, who "won" in the sense of controlling the ring, showing more will, showing more chops, capitolizing on their strategy coming in, and obviously who landed more shots with effect.
So, as far as judges are concerned the last two scorecards were reasonable. But who won that fight? There is no question that Cruz made Tank hurt to the body, took davis' best shots, and came on strong... and did exactly what he said he would do tonight.
I think Tank got exposed in some facets tonight and I look foward to seeing more of Cruz.
Nash is a world-class scorer of fights and he had it 116-112 Tank. Could see 115-113, but there was only one winner. Sometimes the underdog doing better than expected fools people when scoring fights, but Nash knows his stuff and if Nash thinks Tank won, then Tank won. Nash out.
Cruz 115-113
But this showtime Mf's:
"triple jab by tank!" While Stank was hitting air.
And now they say he Hirt his hand, but he did a dance on the floor with both his hands on the floor holding all his weight, Come on, give me a better lie, F Showtime.
