Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis-Leo Santa Cruz Headline Showtime PPV Card October 24

Cruz's last fight was at 130. The article mentions that he has a title there also.

Oh my fault, jumped the gun there. However, I still feel it's too early for Santa Cruz, he should of fought at least 2 or 3 times at 130 before fighting Tank.

Leo is gonna sink him late

If Tank can’t KO Leo then Santa Cruz taking the decision, he throws way more punches and Tank never faced anyone that throws that high of a volume of punches!

Yeah I feel you. 130 is a good compromise imo since most people think Tank can't make it there healthy.

Leo has been chilling for a long time, maybe he had one recent fight? - I want to say that he will test Davis' professionalism but he's also had not been doing much. Pretty sure that will be part o the standard thinking - Davis has not shown a champion like approach, champion talent hell yeah.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Leo try to employ the boxing behind a jab look like he did vs Mares 1.
Took a little of the fun out of that fight but it was the correct strategy and his jab is good enough to pull it off and look competent even though he's known for coming forward, high volume

Mix and match of tht and maybe he can extend it to the late rounds and tests Davis' true endurance. Will Davis bombs land or Leo via death by a 1000 cuts

Good post.

The problem for Cruz's style is he punches a lot and too fast for someone like Gervonta. Davis is the best down the middle puncher in boxing, with Spence coming second, a calculated punch from southpaw angle.

As they say when there are 3 heads. Davis perfected this punch even in his slow fights. Straight left down the pipe, with some extreme power and thought to it. After that, it's done.

Add that to Gervonta's body specialty with moving targets, inside game, and left hook (the one Gamboa, Walsh, Pedraza, couldn't get away from).

I can say more, but I rest my case.

I hate this fight, blowout and awful matchup

It's time for Tank to step up against guys in his weight class.

[BoxingIsGreat]

His weight class is between 130 and 135. He can fight in both if he wants. What's the problem? Fuck the belts.

[BoxingIsGreat]

Step up to who or what? Commey?
I rather Davis fight Easter at 135 than Cruz. This fight is about money and I think they'll make a lot.

This is Funny. The same people that hate on Tank and call him a hype job are NOW saying that Leo Santa cruz doesnt stand a chance and that this is a mismatch when Santa cruz would be the best fighter Tank has fought with the best resume. THis tells me that you guys think more highly of Tank than you realize. A lot of you guys a simply imbeciles and haters.
