Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: I Will Definitely Make The Weight For The Santa Cruz Fight

[Silver Spear]

Actually it’s not about Davis being “huge” at all. Davis in fact is looking slimmer. Keep in mind that combat sportsmen vary in drain protocols. I think LSC will respect the 130 scale. Probably about 145lb fight night maybe more. The problem is cutting that water to compete against Davis who is a power puncher.

On the other hand I think Davis and handlers are TOTALLY fine if they can’t make the 130 scale and are EASILY taking the fine hits no problem! Davis is a Showtime PBC commodity and TMT fighter. The money is there and they need to sell his future fights.

Therefore, all Davis needs should he be over 130lbs is the PREDICTABLE “Davis is now only fighting for the 135 belt” which gives the promotion and PPV no consequence. As if Davis missing 130lbs is a consequence? Lol

1-2lbs in boxing for guys having trouble is debilitating. The last thing they want is Davis to underperform and lose.

Davis will probably be 147lbs on fight night while having missed the scale and weighing 132lbs. You’ll see.

I think the difference between Davis being 147 and Cruz 145 is Davis will be more comfortable in that weight and it would suit his style more. Being a power puncher the extra weight will help Davis more than it would help the volume punching Cruz. The added weight will gas out Cruz who normally has great stamina. It will also force his punch out put to lower to the point that he will not be able to keep Davis away.

Not too excited for this fight. If it were on cable tv I would watch it even on Halloween but on PPV? Pass.

Its a fair question when his previous fight was at 135 and you have been overweight before. If Canelo was fighting at 160 next, he'd get asked about weight given his last fight was at 175.

Valid point however there’s a big difference between 15lbs and 5lbs. Not to mention Canelo had weighed in above 160 twice (Chavez 164.5 & 168 against what’s his name) and then came back down and successfully made 160 against GGG twice & Jacobs.

Tank missed weight @ 130 and in his first move up to 135 missed weight. I don’t feel much sympathy or praise for him making or not making weight
