Dang it. Maybe Davis will later fight Cruz in the professional ranks.
Junk boxing man I rather watch myself shadowbox
Davis was so full of himself and so certain he was going to destroy Cruz. Just goes to show how wrong you can be, huh!
He fought Cruz a few times in the ams already, never successfully. He probably knew it would be tough to get a win. But he went after it and made it close, credit to him.
I have 2 comments.
1. Congratulations to Keyshawn Davis, for putting up a great fight against a Sugar Ray Leonard type of guy.
2. Fuck Cuba. We need to bring Andy Cruz over to the USA, so he can win titles in 2 or 3 weight classes. Andy Cruz is a super talent. Let’s help him defect, and be all he can be. It is criminal to suppress a guy like Andy Cruz.
Speaketh … Mort.
I have only 1 word to say about Andy Cruz.
DEFECT !!
Andy, we would love to have you in the USA.
Speaketh … Mort.
