Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: Pedraza Needs to Stop Making Excuses for Loss

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK – Gervonta Davis was very respectful of Jose Pedraza in the aftermath of his dominant victory over the former champion. Davis has taken issue, however, with Pedraza pointing to his difficulty making weight as a contributing factor in their title fight Saturday night in Brooklyn. Through a translator, Pedraza alluded in the ring following his seventh-round technical knockout defeat to his decision to remain at 130 pounds to defend his IBF world super featherweight title against Davis ultimately being a mistake.

It's not Davis fault Pedraza decided to get fat inbetween fights and fight like a ******. Why would a righty fight from the southpaw stance against a guy bashing his head in.

I thought they both looked drained at the weigh in but neither fought like it. Always better for a fighter to take a loss on the chin and try and learn from it or at least keep the excuses to themselves.

Not surprised the weight excuse is being thrown around. Absolutely agree Pedraza needs to focus on learning from the loss and not putting up excuses.

Pedraza has been talking about a weight jump for ages. Should have done it.

Weight is an issue in boxing for almost every fighter out there, it's not a myth or a lie. Pedraza could be telling the truth. BUT the problem is that almost EVERY fighter goes through hell to make weight. He was talking about what he was gonna do to Davis before the fight, but now he's talking about his weight.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

rumors are that he was worried about the herpes on davis lips.

[SkillspayBills]

I thought the speed of Davis really threw Pedraza for a loop. Jabs were snapping his head all the way back and he didn't know how to cope.

[club fighter]

Davis cleaned his clock, nothing else to say.

[Redd Foxx]

Immature of Davis. Don't look backward like that and worry about what excuses the guy you just beat is making. There was no controversy. No need to even comment on Pedraza's excuses. Onward and upward.
