Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Bags One-Punch Brutal Knockout of Leo Santa Cruz in Sixth

It’s sad bc these boards are wracked with racism. It was a good fight, if not an expected outcome, at least a spirited affair. Before the ko Leo showed no signs of really faltering, just got caught. You can make whatever excuse you want for the result, but it was a big win for tank and one that will catapult him into future ppv. Good fight, good night

I don’t think he had any respect for LSC power. That’s why he was getting tagged with multiple punches. Against someone his own size he would implement a different strategy. If he doesn’t then he would get stopped.

I think lsc is not a disciplined fighter. Before the fight i was saying he wastes too many punches leaving himself open for counters. He landed one right hand and tripled up on it without moving his head or altering the speed in any way.

True indeed tank didn’t respect Leo’s power, but Leo also gave tank the easy opportunity to counter his telegraphed combos. Vs a bigger fighter tank may slip and be more patient bs pressing the issue.

Lomachenko vs Davis is the fight to make at 130!

Man that would be a cool fight.

I think Loma wins, ironically because of how the Teo fight went.

Teo is much bigger than Gervonta, he will make 147 pretty fine IMO. Loma still managed to grind 5 rounds (7-5 for Teo being the average card) despite being outpowered and outboxed.
I think Tank brings less than Teo except power and Loma would beat him 7/8 rounds to 4/5.

He's not getting outboxed by Tank, Tank is there to get hit.

Gerv won't have this frame advantage. Loma is a bit taller than Tank, If Loma can withstand Teo's power, I think he can withstand and probaly control Tank's power.

And style wise, I think Loma is kinda wrong for Tank.

So I would think 75% Loma/25% Tank by KO. I don't see Tank winning a decision or leading on cards here.
But you can't count Tank out, that power and skills are something.

Davis is not a lightweight . All true lightweights put him to sleep.

It was a good fight, but Tank has been beating too much on 122/126 pounders.
At some point as fans we can ask some "even playing field" (shout out to his promoter).



It still was a cool fight, kinda feels bad for Santa Cruz, but hey, he signed the contract.

He fucked him up!

Lopez wrecks him, they should not let Tank anywhere near him.

As a shorter smaller southpaw, I can't see at this point what Tank would do better than Loma. His footwork is kinda average, Teo(s footwork was spot on, and he would get tagged by a lightweight hitting like a welterweight, not by a guy who couldn't crack an egg at 126 like LSC.

Haney vs Tank is more intriguing.

The punches he was getting caught with wasnt him walking through punches. They were LSC throwing punches in bunches. Power is the great equalizer. I don't think that eye would've held up the whole fight getting tagged like that.

He has to work on a better defense.

I saw both go and o the body. Leo more than he has done before.

Yeah...but tank was touching him with intent, and touching him more to the body

[Walexhris]

Lucky punch. Leo was hitting Tank at will and winning the fight. That lil haymaker uppercut saved his ass. Leo won tonight.

Yeah whatever
