    Is he another Broner-type hype job? First boxer I thought of when I saw him. Davis looks more talented though and he has quicker hands.

    He looked impressive against Pedraza but then again Pedraza was Avery weak titlist. I want to see him in there with someone a little better.

    Davis is decent, but I goddamn sure don't see any special talent in him. He has exposed by an elite fighter written all over him.

    At the end of the day though, he is exciting. The sport can always use young, exciting fightees

    He was pretty impressive against Pedraza but i bet you he didn't want to get hit so much. There are things to like about him though and he is exciting so we'll see how he gets on.

    Nobody wants to get hit.

    I think he's talented, I was very impressed by him in his last fight. Need to see more of him though to accurately gauge. It's clear he's not on the level of Loma though.

    Talented guy but yeah if he went against Loma, he'd get a beat down.

    He reminds me of a pre-divorce Juan Manuel Lopez

    Davis and Walsh both make weight but it took Davis three times to get there.

    Does anyone know when Davis arrived in the UK? I heard he got here only five days ago so that may have a played a part in him being slightly over. If true, wouldn't it be better to have arrived here a week or two earlier so that you're fully acclimatised? People automatically think that a fighter has been lazy or cutting corners, but that can't always be the case.

    Davis is like Broner due to their feet. They both lean onto their lead foot and they rely on physical strength and hand speed.

    Walsh is 5/1 to win via decision. Tempting.

    Lol.

    The closer it gets to the fight, the more I'm tempted to back Liam to win.

    Fun fight between 'The Pig' Pigford and Morgan. The Pig with a stunning KO. He has absolutely no defense though.

    Marcus Kelly had a better chin than this current Dubois victim

    Dubois doing what he should be doing. Taking out the trash in style. He could be something good. People talking about him being the next Joshua, but he could actually be better than AJ.

    But obviously he hasn't been tested yet so there's still more to learn about him.
