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

[BritishBoxing92]

Interesting I wonder how far he will continue to rack up victories, the guy's future seems promising but I wonder how he will fare when he faces some one who can take his hardest hits and dish it back to him for 12 rounds?

all the best anyway I was kind off thinking santa cruz was going to win this bout, guess I was proven wrong..

A haymon/pbc fight will always bring out the racists on this board from both the U.K. and the USA. The only things that would stop it is that haymon goes away and black American fighters sign with Hearn and dazn..and coloured American fighters drag their feet when they walk, lower their eyes to white men, and say “yes suh”..then the racist remarks may subside Because then the racists will feel better about themselves.
I told everyone that when tank wins two things would happen, there will be a rush for excuses AND a litany of racist remarks.....both coming from the same group of degenerates.

Well said and a damn shame. I used to come on this site often, now it feels hateful. As a black man i take solace in tanks greatness, in people being so mad they just can’t take it.

Gervonta is something like Berto when he was still 147 WBC champ. When he faces guys that can take his best shots, he is gonna lose.

Well if hes like berto hopefully he gives us some dope fights like berto did periodically. That ortiz is fight is still one if the best fights I've ever seen live

But is it really a matter of a lack of boxing ability? Or did Tank know that LSC couldn't hurt him- so he just took the shots in order to set him up for that KO?

I don’t think so, look a5 his previous fight# at world level or even a tier below, he’s very easy to hit but this was the most I’ve seen him get hit with pretty much every 5/6 punch combo Santa Cruz threw.
Davis is exciting but reflecting on the statement FMJ made regarding his boxing abilities, I saw nothing more than the usual.
However, it may have been that his abilities were non effective against Santa Cruz so he relied on his heavy hands to get him out of trouble and that’s what’s exciting about him.
Sooner or later he will come unstuck if they stick him in with a big hitter that has range.

Tank is probably more Caucasian than African-American stop playing your dumbass race card was a good fight between 2 humans that ended in a knock out nothing more Tank was getting touched up before he caught the smaller guy with a perfect uppercut he can't be taking punches like that from legit 135 lbers though.

Probably? Based on what? Tank has big lips and nappy hair. Black people come in different shades and it doesn't mean they are half white.

If that's the extent of Tank's defense, then Floyd has a lot of work to do. To be fair though, Santa Cruz is a very good boxer.

U missed out on a lot of good fights!

I had it 3-2 Tank but round 6 was Leo's best round before the KO. Would of been 3-3 if Leo didn't get KTFO.

Then Leo has Tank in late rounds.

The other reason I missed the card is that I had to got to freaking work!

yeah at 135 closer fight, but at 130 I think Loma beats him clear.

Loma won't beat any live body at this point, maybe a Marriaga 2. He brings nothing to the table and needs to prove himself by getting one or two belts. He won't be allowed to jump the queue anymore.

Davis would kill Loma.
