I think that sort of speed power and ferocity is not easy to deal with. He ain't no second coming of Mayweather I know that, but he can still do really well as long as he keep working on his game and plays to his strengths.He is quick, has good power but he can be guided into position. Avila was able to hit him with some rights, so Davis puts his earmuffs on. Avila continues to throw to the outside but everytime he went with the left uppercut, he landed. A higher level opponent would be able set up shots through the middle with ease and alternate with shots to the side of the head.
He isn't the next Floyd, the media trying to compare the two is going to do him a big disservice in the long run.Comment

You're right, eventually he will run into someone that he can't just blast away and he's going to need to have solid fundamentals to fall back on.Davis is going to be a good guy to watch. Power and some mistakes makes great viewing.
I feel like he's going to reach a point where he can't just bomb everybody out and he will have to show some nuance to his game.
More jabbing, setting up shots, and defense that doesn't rely strictly on reflex.
Hopefully his training team sees that and are knowledgeable enough to help him develop properly. This kid could be something special if he's brought along right.Comment
