A fantastic finish from Davis but fair play to Santa Cruz who was really taking it to Davis and giving him all sorts of problems.
Decent undercard fight between Barrios and Karl too.
When boxing is like this, there’s nothing better

Could maybe have milked more seconds of rest from the low blow. Good fight and great finish.

Tank has that same type of of menacing aura that reminds me of previous American bad asses like Aaron Pryor and Gerald McClellan.

What an eye poppin’ shot to finish off the very brave Leo Santa Cruz. I was worried seeing the doctor trying to wake him up even after a couple of minutes, and dumb ass move by showtime to repeatedly replay the knockout while he was still unconscious.

That left uppercut missed closely in the first round about three times, and I was seriously worried for the Mexican warrior, but he took on tank in sensational style, you could see the American was surprised by the hell fire leather coming back his way, every time he landed some great shots himself.

But he proved himself winning that with a genuine superstar performance: Tank v Teo is THE fight for the ages.

Great fight, one of the performances of the year by both fighters, and great commentary by the effortless Ray Flores as well.

Not sure if it was Flores or not but when LSC was out cold the camera spans to him on the floor and the commentator says "well.. Santa Cruz.. IS breathing... we hope he's ok. once again, he IS breathing."

Yes you’re right I did notice that jarring comment ( he’s breathing, so that’s a good sign.. ) it was Flores, but I’ll give him a pass for that, because he was excellent filling a lot of dead air time over the previous two hours.
Such a relief listening to a real professional unobtrusive commentator like that, after the usual brain melting Sky debacle

The disguised switch step and slight lean in to set it up was special.

He has been guilty of blowing hot and cold, hopefully he stays hot now cos he’s a monster on his day.
