Can’t believe tapia’s corner let him down like this, should’ve ended the fight sooner.

Kirkland is absolutely relentless. My first time seeing him fight, but dam he continues pushing forward while eating shots too.
Kirkland was mad, absolutely mad. Would just stay in the death pocket at all times and run the gauntlet. Tough, tough fighter, but always over committed and got clipped so often.

He's a mess today as a result. But you gotta salute it. :salute:

so with Gervonta Davis being on his bicycle for the first half of the fight and a broken hand the second half of the fight, safe to say those scorecards looking funny in the light

bet it’s awhile before they post up the fight for free replay on YouTube :ufdup:


However a better performance from Davis than Haney and in this fight he was forced by the nature of his opponent to prove that he is the defensive wizard that people are making Haney out to be

:why: How?

Was a bigger favorite but struggled more than Haney.
What defensive wizard lmao, Tank is a gifted fighter, a defensive wizard he's not

Both Jo Jo Diaz and Isaac Cruz have put their name into the higher echelon discussion of their divisions

Isaac Cruz put the pressure on Davis all night, he was extremely effective with his body shots … Davis gave him that and Cruz only vaguely slowed down his pace once Davis committed to standing his ground somewhere between the 4th and the 6th. Cruz worked his body all night, kept the pressure on him and made him fight his fight. In doing so, he forced a better performance out of Davis than we saw from Haney in his fight … and I now respect Davis defensively, and worry about Haney defensively. That make sense? Haney didn’t end up facing the same challenge that Davis did, Davis actually lost that fight but showed more of a performance in doing so than I’ve seen out of Haney
