Talk about a curveball Channel 5 showing sport subscription channels for what their worth, excellent news

As for the fight, Davis looks great from what I've seen if he's fully fit I think he'll deal with Santa Cruz with ease, may even stop him, size and power will play a big part, I know Davis wasnt great against Gamboa but for me looks in great nick here, Santa Cruz has been ordinary since the Frampton rematch, was pedestrian against Flores last time out, he is tough, has a great engine but Davis i reckon will bring the heat and show Santa Cruz a level he's not been at before

Yeah I’m seeing Santa Cruz’s basic hittability as a big problem against Davis.

top man Boxing Prospect never knew that, this is up there with fight of the year , so many stories going on tank huge prospect v leo stana four-division world champion., i think leo will march straight to the centre of the ring and jab and feel tank out , if tank dont meet him there i think leo will front foot him put early pressure on him which leads to leo being sparked early with tanks power or leo bullying him which tank has never faced i think the latter,i think leo will box and toe to toe davis honstley dont know who wins i went leo early , but if davis wants it and goes up a leavel he will win he is the better fighter its all on him in my eyes , looking forward to it now its on ch5 :TU: go leo points

Both excellent fighters but one man is naturally much bigger than the other. Santa Cruz gets to feel what it's like to be the wrong end of the drain game for a change. I remember him back when he was a huge bantam smashing up flyweights.

:TU: Never liked Santa Cruz for that, and never really warmed to him since, tbh.

Maybe watching him get properly smashed up will finally change my mind on him :lol:

They all do it. Davis is doing it. It's the way it is. But eventually they all become the chicken eater.

Another weird pick for davis, they definitely worried his jaw gets checked. That said i think its a decent scrap and cruz sees the final bell,albeit davis wins wide.

Cruz obliterated Magdaleno to become IBF mandatory after George Kambosos Jr, I suppose. Is not it?
