  • I was way off in my prediction with Loma/Lopez so I’m just hoping we get an entertaining fight here…

    • Hey, Arturo, I was off myself and it’s getting frequent in my predictions. LOL…. Age is killing my mind. I think Cruz will keep Davis busy and maybe even give us insight if Davis can handle this assignment with minimal flaws. Cruz is a volume puncher which has an accumulative effect on fighters as it breaks them down. Cruz has to be busy right from the get-go if he wants the victory. We all know Davis has that “crack” in his punching power to break fighters down pretty quick. I question if Cruz can handle Davis’ onslaught of power shots and still remain busy enough to gain control of the fight.

  • I like Santa Cruz because he has a lot of heart, but he has no power at this weight and takes too many shots. Davis is flawed but has excellent power. Gonna be very tough fight for Leo. I just can’t dream up a scenario where he gets his hand raised.

  • I am looking forward to this fight. Off the top of my head, I pick Davis to win IF he does not disregard his training and properly gets in shape. If Davis is properly conditioned, I anticipate his jab, hand speed, power punching, body punching and COUNTER PUNCHING will propel him to a TKO victory.

    If Davis shanks his training by underestimating Santa Cruz (SC), then he will get outworked for SC’s big Texas victory. If the fight is close, I am quite sure SC will get a big Texas victory. Heck, if SC makes it through the 12th round, he may get a big Texas victory or a tie. In other words, Davis must get in shape and properly set up/deliver his punches to secure a TKO or KO victory, in the mighty State of Texas.

    I will keep my eyes and ears open regarding Davis’ training discipline. I KNOW SC will prepare to produce a high punch volume in an attempt to outhustle Davis, but SC will also need that ‘Rocky’ spirit and ‘Rocky’ chin to withstand Davis’ heavy punches.

  • If Davis doesn’t come in focused or in good shape Santa Cruz can take him into deep waters and pull out the win. Don’t underestimate Leo!

  • A redemption fight for Leo, heavily criticized for ducking top notch guys, when he was in a lighter weight.
    Gervonta has the obligation to win this fight, too much advantages for him (weight, punching power, speed, skills… ). The only advantages I see in Leo’s favor are his experience and heart.
    The best man win this contest that promises to be entertaining.
