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.

I if I remember right didn’t channel 5 also do Moorer -Holyfield 2, in the very early hours.

Great work by Channel 5, always enjoy their coverage!

They did, with Harry Mullan in the studio as I recall.

Great news, well in C5

Well done Channel 5, bringing boxing back to the masses.

WBA super featherweight and lightweight regular titles, twelve rounds:
Gervonta Davis, 129.75 pounds vs. Leo Santa Cruz, 129.5;

WOW! Davis made weight!!

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 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.

Davis to big to strong and to good for Cruz. Davis knocks him out inside 4 rounds

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

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

Think Davis will win within 6 rounds.

Yeah styles wise this is a nightmare, got pretty much my savings on Davis by ko

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.
