Davis vs Santa Cruz: Thoughts

Yep. We will see. I don't see Garcia getting hit by those uppercuts, if for no other reason he don't like getting hit.

 

Not gon lie, 10 years from now we're gonna be talkin about this one when mentioning the great one punch KOs. It really was a fuckin peach.

 

What concentration camp did Ryan Karl just get out of?

 

Yeah I was watching it again and the ONLY knock against it was that Davis had landed that shot a few times and LSC should have been on notice.

It was a chilling shot.

 

Yep. The moment it landed you knew it was over.

 

I had my phone in one hand on a gambling site and they killed the betting and then took me to a soccer game [a sure sign the fight isn't just in danger of being over, but that it IS over] and I looked at the screen and saw 20 seconds left in the round, no real danger, why suspend the betting and BOOM!

 

I wonder if Santa Cruz hitting the corner padding on the way down was better for his health. If that was in in the center of the ring his head no doubt would have banged straight off the canvas.

 

Indeed...

A Quick, Hard, Well Timed, Well Placed COUNTER Kill Shot...

he loaded up. brought it all the way back to baltimore before throwing the uppercut

 

I was thinking to myself that it was a pity his head hit it .

What was good was that he didn't sag into the ropes and squat on them motionless cos TANK WOULD have hit him again .

 

It probably wouldn't be good for Loma to fight Davis if he drops back down.

As skilled as Loma is, he is hittable, and...

I cant help but feel Davis would get outboxed then lay Loma out.

 

i could see that fight happening. lomachenko vs davis. davis will demand a higher purse, Im sure.

 

woulda ended up like marvis frazier

 

Did Davis call out Mares afterward?

 

Davis, Lopez, Haney, Garcia, Ortiz, Ennis, Berlanga... the future of boxing is ALIVE!

 

Mayweather Jr has done a masterful job maneuvering Davis career

 

He's got to be jealous as hell about that stoppage though. He had Tank wear the same shorts he wore vs DLH and Tank put on a much more exciting fight than he could and a better KO than Floyd has ever produced.

 

Davis shined against a smaller made to order foe and he's a puncher. I think Mayweather Jr sees dollar signs

This was more like the Gatti fight, first ppv for both

 

Let's See those PPV Numbers 1st, Bruh...




REED

 

Numbers may not be great but the ko will go viral and is probably all over sportscenter

Davis is clearly one of the biggest draws in the game now for sure

 

Let's see Davis vs Stevenson.

 

When You Say "Biggest Draws in the Game", REED Thinks of a Fighter Who Can Fight ANYBODY & the Shit Will Not Only Be On PPV (Automatically), But PULL Relatively Good PPV Numbers (Automatically)...

Tank vs. Loma, Haney, Garcia, Teofimo, Shakur???...Sure, That OBVIOUSLY Sells PPV...But Does Tank vs. Gary Russell Sell PPV???...Tank vs. the Miguel Berchelt/Oscar Valdez Winner???...

"Biggest Draw in the Game" Sells a PPV On his OWN...REED Ain't Saying Tank Can't/Won't Get There, but he AIN'T There Just Yet...

Tank's Done GOOD Live Gates in Cities Not Really Known for Live Gates (Baltimore, ATL), Just Headlined his 1st PPV & Registered a MAGNIFICENT KO that Everyone Will Be Talking About Until his Next Fight...But Let's See These PPV Numbers AND Let's See if His Next Opponent is Even PPV Worthy, Before Anointing Him...

Tank's Work as "Biggest Draw in the Game" has Just BEGUN; he AIN'T There Yet..




REED

 

Who are the box office attractions?

Davis is easily top 10 already

Which is impressive for his thin resume

I dont expect big ppv numbers. Based on the ufc last week and the other boxing ppvs before and after. Going against the top rank card etc

 

Are There 10 LEGIT Draws in Boxing Currently???...

In No Particular Order...

Canelo - No Explanation Needed
Pacquiao - No Explanation Needed
Joshua - No Explanation Needed
Fury - Wilder II Fight Did 800k Buys and Reportedly LOST a Mil More to Illegal Streaming...
Wilder - See Fury

Ryan Garcia's Social Media Presence and Followers is That of a "Draw"...If he Continues to Bring Home W's He'll Be Fast Tracked as the Next Golden Boy, Next Canelo of Boxing...

Spence Did 360k w/Mikey and Followed that Up w/350k for Porter (When Everyone ASSumed the Latino Audience Padded the Numbers)...Spence's Accident ADDS Intrigue, So REED Would Expect the Danny Fight to Do 500-550k...REED is Reluctant to Call Spence a "Draw" But There's @ Least a FOUNDATION Being Laid...

@ Some Point You SHOULD Expect PPV #'s or an Exorbitant DAZN Like Contract, @ Least...That's What "Draws" Generate...

& Again, REED's ONLY Arguing w/YOUR Assertion Tank's ALREADY There...Not That he WON'T Get There...

REED Can Only ASSume You were Making a Funny by Crediting Floyd w/"Masterfully" Moving Tank, Knowing Full Well this was a PBC PPV...





REED

 

Doesn't Ellerbe call all the business shots anyway? Isn't Floyd just a figurehead?

 

Tank's now the biggest African American attraction. I almost said Black, but I forgot about AJ.

Previously, Wilder was the biggest African American attraction, but you can stick a fork in that delusional scrub. His luster is gone, and like 90% of his fanbase has jumped ship.

 

100% serious about what I said.

Ellerbe? " the CEO of situps"???

Other than Alvarez, Joshua and fury id say Davis has already surpassed the rest.

Him and Lopez are the next biggest stars. Where as Lopez has taken actual risks his last two fights and already eclipsed Davis resume.

 

Yes, Floyd's the Name/Face of his Promotion, But Even Neil KNOWS Floyd Ain't Running Shit on a Day to Day Basis...Floyd ISN'T Even the CEO of his Own Fucking Company, Ellerbe Is...

Again, PBC has a TV Deal w/Showtime (& Fox), Mayweather Promotions Doesn't Have a TV Deal w/Anyone (Unless the Mayweather Youtube Channel Counts)...Every Single Time a Mayweather Promotion's Fighter is on Television it's BECAUSE Of PBC...That's an Undeniable FACT...

There IS NO Mayweather Promotions w/Out PBC, Which is Why it's Hilarious Neil is Trying to PRAISE Floyd's "Masterful" Business Acumen, While NEVER Giving Al Haymon a Shred of Credit for Shit...

But Just as There's No Mayweather Promotions w/Out PBC, There's NO "Money May" w/Out Al Haymon...Another Undeniable FACT...





REED

 

Wilder's Arrow is Clearly Pointing DOWN, But Wilder-Fury III (Or Whomever Wilder Faces Next) Will Do Good Numbers...



REED

 

Well naturally as Davis is now a Pound For Pound Pay Per View Star, he said so himself last night, and I think Floyd said it too, and it's hard to disagree with people who have an interest in their own futures touting themselves so highly. To be honest if we as a boxing community had any decency and integrity we'd have announced it ourselves about 2 years ago. It's a sign of how rotten and corrupt we are that Floyd and Tank had to do it themselves.
