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

[Beercules]

We need a betting line on Davis missing weight.

Is this some sort of weird back up plan to keep a title on the line if Davis can't make weight ?? Not many times 2 differnt weight class titles have been on the line . I remember floyd fought someone with his 47 and 54 titles on the line and one other which i can't recall the details off the top of my head .

As long as they can make both weights, what's the issue?

Great fight when it happens. Lots of action and it will not go 12. Leo isn't the hardest fighter to hit. I got Tank by brutal knockout within 9.

Absolutely. He'll crush Santa like a bug. Keep watching.
As I said before, Davis is gonna fight in both weights, 30 and 35
.

Just saying he failed making weight before.The guy isn't that serious about boxing. The guy took like 10-11 rounds to stop the ghost of gamboa.

Its just rare I dont find it an issue except for the fact that the lightweight strap on the line is a sub title .

Davis seriously struggled to make 135lbs. No way can he make 130🥊

His body says different, he must be slacking on some discipline somewhere, a fighter should be some what ripped to be at their peak weight, Davis has it to lose its up to him.

It isn’t clear whether the WBA will charge Davis and Santa Cruz two sanctioning fees apiece for fighting for versions of its 130-pound and 135-pound titles.

“They’ll both be weighing in at 130, but both the ’30 and ’35 titles will be at stake,” Stephen Espinoza, Showtime’s president of sports and event programming, said during a virtual press conference Wednesday. “We’ve done some research, and the most obvious example is Ray Leonard [and Donny Lalonde]. It’s something that’s done very infrequently, and it’s a bonus for that event.”

The WBA is the worst!!!

... let me "translate" this to you: Tank will come at 134.5 and he will KO LSK unconscious...

Is this 135 belt just an insurance incase Tank cant make the weight, then they can say (well its for 135 aswell so technically hes made weight.)
I hope not cause Tank shouldn't need any advantage going into this fight.

You have assessed the situation, people involved and revealed how this plan works to one's advantage, well done.

Perks of the PBC/WBA ‘partnership’

Much like Top Rank/WBO
