Comments Thread For: Leo Santa Cruz: I Have To Be Brilliant, Not Get Caught To Beat Gervonta Davis

Disagree, Leo used volume not pop. And at least lately, that opposition is garbage.

Exactly...and Leo is shop worn and past it! Does not have a chance in Hell in this blatant Ppv(unworthy)main event mismatch!!!!

In his last fight, Davis won every round, scored 3 knock downs and eventually got the stoppage. Santa Cruz isn't as good of a fighter at this weight than Gamboa so expect Davis to really have an easy night.

You forgot to mention Gamboa was injured, still made it to the 12th, Davis admittedly did look like crap, and Gamboa is the poster boy for a fighter with a big name many years past his prime

One would think “some pop” would translate into at least one Ko every now and then in a FIVE yr span! And Leo comes 4d goes toe 2 toe...it’s not like he actually boxes and “maintains distance” from the outside.

Sounds like you don’t know what you’re looking at. Santa Cruz boxed the shorts off of frampton In the rematch and kept him at the end of his punches all night long, right after Frampton was named fighter of the year. It’s funny how hate doesn’t allow people to see things as they actually happen.

A razor thin split decision = boxer the shorts off Frampton? And that was close to four long years ago.

Am I missing something here? Beating the 2016 fighter of the year by ANY margin is a great feat, beating a boxer at his own game, a far cry from Santa Cruz being a total chump as you dudes were making him out to be. Santa is no chump and Davis hasn’t proven himself at the highest level. Period.

I think LSC may have taken this fight for a final payday.

Kid has got heart and skill, but Floyd will make sure Tank gets all the advantages.

I wouldn't hesitate to pick LSC in this fight if he hadn't been so damn inactive over the past few years. He's fought so infrequently and against such an unremarkable level of opposition overall since 2017 that I sometimes forget he even exists. He can box, plus I know he's plenty tough and has a good engine, so usually I'd say his better big fight experience would see him through but surely Davis has better career momentum right now.

Exactly - Lsc defeated Frampton FOUR yrs ago by the thinnest of margins....didn’t “box his shorts off” ! Ur blatant incorrect exaggeration....and LSC in his prime and at a lighter weight was no chump! He is obviously shop worn and way past his prime...and looked the part in his last fight against a b-level Flores. If he had “some pop”, he would have a chance against Davis....Ur not picking “pillow-fists” and neither is anyone else! Would love to see overrated, padded record, Pbc protected, Loma ducking, cherry-picking Davis lose ....unfortunately won’t b to Lsc.
