✅ I propose to recap the best moments of this fight and see my review of this confrontation. А round-by-round analysis.
Gervonta "Tank" Davis (24-0, 23 KOs) earned the biggest win of his young career in spectacular fashion on Saturday night, knocking out Leo Santa Cruz (37-2-1, 19 KOs) with a left uppercut in the sixth round of their title fight at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
The fight had been an entertaining back-and-forth affair up to that point. Santa Cruz showed no fear, going right at Davis and trying to get him on the defensive early on. His aggressive approach turned out to be his downfall, as Davis stayed calm, grew into the bout and found an opportunity to show off the prodigious power that has made the 25-year-old Baltimore native a fan favorite.
While the fight was held at 130 pounds, Davis retained his WBA world lightweight title and won the WBA super featherweight world title from Santa Cruz. This was the first knockout loss for the 32-year-old Santa Cruz. Davis said he's ready to take on anyone after the win.
