dangit.... you know what, scratch all of that, I have to go with Pedraza... KO in 11. Reeeaaally hard for me to go against that level of talent, on his promoters card, with him being groomed to be a star. Usually not a good pick. But we will see I guess.
Davis reminds me of a young mini Tyson in a way..... I think he has similar mental weaknesses as well. Hope he proves me wrong on that, kids talent is awesome.
From what I've heard hes a pretty focused kid, but I've not heard much on the issue. It's gamble but one that could pay off, personally I think Pedraza has this but with the odds on davis shortening considerably in the UK its not out the question that the fix might be in. Not to mention Pedraza says hes moving up win lose or draw which means he may be having weight issues.
1/13 - Erislandy Lara vs. Yuri Foreman - 12x3 WBA Super World & IBO Super Welterweight Titles 1/14 - Jose Pedraza vs. Gervonta Davis - 12x3 IBF World Super Featherweight Title 1/14 - James DeGale vs. Badou Jack - 12x3 WBC & IBF World Super Middleweight Titles Lara KO Davis KO Degale UD
Worth mentioning that Davis started boxing at the age of 5, and has amassed an amateur record of 206-15 (according to wikepedia) before turning pro.
Pedraza was an Olympian and good amateur too so I guess the difference will either be Davis' power, or pedraza's experience and jab.
I know a lot of you guys think I'm full of it when it comes to Astrology, but even you have to admit this is odd. Sun sign in the main sign, your personality, Moon sign controls your emotions and Mercury supposedly controls how you communicate, and are probably the most important placements alongside the Rising and Midheaven signs. Check this out. Robert Guerrero Sun: Aries Moon: Virgo Mercury: Aries Kelly Pavlik Sun: Aries Moon: Virgo Mercury: Aries And both ended up taking the nickname The Ghost. Odd qwinky dink isn't it? Also... just to add this in, both have great chins, amazing willpower, can box well, but prefer to slug it out, and love putting on a show. I'm an Aries Sun, Virgo Moon too, but my Mercury is in Pisces.
