    Leo fought a great fight whilst it lasted

    Big props to him, he put some serious leather on Tank, left hand was working great, good variety as usual. It was a great KO - but I was a little disappointed as a neutral I wanted to see how the fight would develop but big props to Tank tor stepping on the gas in that round.

      It was a good fight.

      Davis adjusted mid-fight knowing that he could take Leo's punches and focused on getting him with a hard punch, which he did.

      Started brawling with him when the fight started, but knew that was not the way to defeat Santa Cruz.

      Once he started picking his shots, bobbing and weaving...he was dead set on getting the KO.

        It was a really good fight. Leo was doing well but made the mistake of throwing the same shot multiple times in a row.

        In doing so he left himself vulnerable for the uppercut. Tank times him and it was over.

        Sadly, the majority of posters don’t seem to care about that. They are more concerned with hating Tank because of who promotes and manages him.

          Tank was too strong for LSC.

            It's what I expected. Both fighters did what they had to do, Leo fought a good fight and he didn't show up just to lay down and collect a check, but he got careless and Tank seized the opportunity.

              FOTY for me. Was more competitive than I thought it would be. LSC gave a great account of himself while it lasted but that was a vicious KO and came out of nowhere. Best possible scenario played out for Tank as far as him possibly becoming a PPV draw.

                Man it was an awesome fight while it lasted. And that last round before KO was Leo's best. He doesn't get ko'd its 3-3 fight. Going into deep water....

                Great set up by Tank. Leo was in corner couldn't go anywhere and that punch was PERFECT. Feint a right and then bam! Left uppercut clean, didn't see it..

                  Definitely, Davis picked up on the right lead, I also think Leo threw it tired, the last few were arm punches as he'd emptied his tank, he has a habit of doing that, but couldn't afford to in this fight as he was in front of such a dangerous puncher.

                  It was a miscalculation , but you cant be too critical as Leo was walking somewhat of a tight rope in the fight.

                  I prefer talking about fights, I think I'm in the minority.

                  I think Tank is a great fighter, but he should stay at these lower weights, his defence is leaky so I would fear for him against the bigger guys. He should max his potential at 130-135 and only move up beyond that if his body forces him to.

                    Awesome fight. Two very skilled and hungry fighters is boxing at its best.
