Gervonta Davis ranks among the scariest boxing young guns of recent times. Davis, with his out-of-the-box power, has outclassed every opponent he’s faced until now. That said, he will look to continue his dominant streak this weekend too when he locks horns with Isaac Cruz.
Davis will square off with Isaac Cruz for his WBA lightweight ‘regular’ title. ‘Tank’ is an obvious favorite to win here, but he will still remain keen on leaving the fans in awe with his performance.
Ahead of the fight, Davis reflected on his last sensational win over Mario Barrios. In this fight too, ‘Tank’ was a favorite to win. However, he wasn’t ahead on the scorecards per Floyd Mayweather. That said, ‘TBE’ went to his corner, and triggered the young force to go for the kill.
