Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis-Leo Santa Cruz: Their 130-Pound, 135-Pound Titles Will Be At Stake

[BoxingIsGreat]

Solid fight. Two really good fighters. Frankly, I'd prefer a card with LSC/Russell and Tank/Joseph Diaz. These 2 fights are not as big as Tank/LSC but IMO they are more meaningful because they bring each division closer to being unified.

Well said, Dunn.

I feel the same. Davis-Diaz would be fireworks for 5 rounds. Cruz-Russell is a good match up with the potential to stink the venue. Both on one card is PPV worthy.

Don't know who's advising these guys.

And at 130 he'll be too weak to have nearly the power he normally carries around. Either way, should be an interesting fight for the fans. Looking forward to it.

Totally disagree, LSC has ZERO advantages in this fight. Davis is faster, younger, has taken less punishment, is more coordinated, is the naturally bigger man and is more powerful with any punch you name. Santa Cruz gonna get butchered.

You conveniently forget Davis will be weigh drained. That's more than enough equalizer, plus the fact you're exaggerating Davis advantages anyway.

These are the opinions of people stuck in the nostalgia of the past. Cruz has a very mild (no) chance. Get back to me after the fight. You wish Davis wouldn't make the weight. Keep holding on to that.

How many times have we seen fighters choke on their weight loss and have a flat performance from being weight drained? Hello??? It happens WAY more than it doesn't happen. You're stuck in ~no incoming facts allowed~ mode. If I'm wrong I'll admit it, as I've proven before. Will you do the same?

Tank just did a huge gate and a solid number on SHO. The LSC fight potentially expands his reach if he has a great performance against a Well known and respected Mexican champion.

With ppv sales being the Main revenue generator I expect guys with name recognition to get fights- see Donaire.

Damn. Great fight. Leo trying to join Hearns, SRL, DLH, Mayweather, and Pacquiao as five division champions.

It's rare. The fighter who fights in two different divisions simultaneously should be commended not criticized. There's no rule preventing it.

It should happen more if fighters are so confident. Like let's say Loma fighting in both divisions if the money is right.

I agree 100%
